History Of Palmistry
The science
of chiromancy or palmistry originated before Christianity itself. The
esteemed scientists and philosophers such as Aristotle, Pliny, Anaxagoras,
Hispanus, Cardamis and Emperor Augustus all agreed to this fascinating
discipline of Palmistry. The Bible
itself speaks of the markings in one's hand in the book of Job as: "God
placed signs or seals in the hands of men, that all men might know their
works., and there is always the timeless knowledge that God and nature
make nothing in vain." For some time this knowledge of palmistry was
left to quacks and novices .The Hindus, the Greeks, the Christians and
many other learned cultures embraced this science of Palmistry.
Palmistry
Palmistry
is a method of counselling that originated in India over 3,000 years ago.
It is a part of a vast field of study, referred to as Samudrik Shastra,
which literally means the ocean of knowledge. Palmistry is a sub-section
of this vast knowledge and deals specifically with the study of the hand
and the imprints therein. Palmistry - fortune-telling?
Palmistry
is not foretelling.The original intent of palmistry was for personality assessment and
counselling. One's emotional tendencies, social attitudes, conscious
awareness and subconscious fears, blockages and strengths can be
understood in great detail through this in-depth system which analyses the
hand and the markings it carry.Though these days it is used to predict the
future of an individual, palmistry does well with the personality
assessment task.
You cannot
make actual predictions with palmistry. However, since there is a definite
mind-body connection, we know that negative or positive thinking affects
our well-being.Due to our habitual way of thinking, we often repeat the
same behaviour in the future as we exhibit in the present. If we can
understand the pattern of our habits and thinking, then we can begin to
ignore the negative cycles of behaviour and can replace them with positive
new ones. Palmistry can help you see these patterns. With this
information, you can shape your own destiny. Palmistry - the process
Palmistry
is best seen as a dynamic process. The lines of the hand are not carved in
stone. Since the lines, mounts and signs of the hand, the palm and the
fingers reflect our thinking and behaviour patterns the study of the above
gives a definite reading of the person . The lines and markings physically
change as our thinking changes. Which hand should be read?
It is
important to look at both hands during a reading. Depending on which hand
is active (usually seen as the hand you write with),in combination with
the inactive hand, shows where you have been (passive),and where you are
likely headed (active) in this life. Palmistry - Branches
Chiromancy:
This is the study of
the lines within the palm.The lines in the palms are formed during the
foetal development and best carry the personality traits and characters of
the individual. This was palmistry in olden ages. Later the various marks
and mounts on the palm also came into study and focus. Chirognomy:
The study of the
general shape of the hand , finger shapes, finger nails and their texture
is termed as Chirognomy. This study is helping in finding out the true
personality of the individual under study. Dermatoglyphics:
The study of the
ridges found in the finger tips is called Dermatoglyphics. This is very
useful in criminal/forensic sciences and is nowadays used as a personal
identification tool. Basics Of Palmistry
