What is Palmistry?
 |
|
Palmistry is the
study of the lines and signs of the hands.
Throughout our lifetime, our bodies register change. For example,
the lines on our face that we acquire with age reflect experience
and, we hope, wisdom. |
Lines
and signs on our hands, present at birth, grow as we evolve, signifying
the accumulated experience of our lives.
Centuries ago, the
sages of India established a system of knowledge stemming from the
Vedas, the earliest sacred Hindu writings. They studied the hands as a
means to unveil and understand the self and relationships with others.
They saw that the unique patterns of lines and signs in the hand come
into being as a direct result of the way we think. Just as a pebble
thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar
effects.
Our hands offer us an
objective view of who we really are. Through the study of palmistry, we
have the opportunity to see to what extent our thoughts and feelings
influence our happiness and the harmony of those around us. As we
exercise our will in choosing positive patterns of thinking to replace
any negative ones, we see our lines begin to change, reflecting a shift
in our consciousness. As Shakespeare observed, we are masters of our own
fate, that "the fault...is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
