Palmistry Science

The chakra concept The chakra concept states that there are seven major wheel-like energy centers where the life energy resides to keep the body alive. These centers are called "chakras". The word chakra means "wheel" in Sanskrit. The chakras are part of the "etheric body". The etheric body is one of several invisible energy bodies overlaid onto the physical body to provide the life forces to live. The chakras in the etheric body are concentrated centers for specific types of energy. These energies are the driving power for the physical body. When these energies are disturbed or out of balance, the body suffers with physical problems. Without these energy vortices, the physical body dies. Some individuals with strong powers of concentration can go into an altered state of consciousness and see the chakras as rotating disks of colored energy. This concept of how a person's energy is revealed in the hands is discussed throughout my book, "It's All In Your Hands" available here.

Are You Closed to Opportunities? When your fingers are held tightly together it indicates that you feel suspicious of new ideas and ways of doing things. You are careful not to jump into new situations too fast, especially relationships. When you do stumble on to an opportunity you first look for the problems in it and are overly suspicious and cautious. This ability to see beneath the glitter of the wrapping has saved you from problems in the past and will do the same in the future --or so you hope. That is your most comfortable way to operate but it delays, if not prevents, jumping right on to fresh opportunities. If your fingers are also stiff, it shows resistance to any changes to the present state of mind. New ideas and new ways of doing things are approached suspiciously, cautiously, and are resisted. You are resistant to let others change your views.

You are cautious with your money and don't spend easily unless it is absolutely necessary. You place great value on what you have and are protective to insure that you keep it. You distrust most people and you do not lend your things easily.

Hints for even more success in life: For now, closing your hands or putting them in your pockets will give a little more peace of mind and make you feel more comfortable. Quiet familiar places free of outside distractions are especially good for you. Your goals should include learning to trust your own skills and wisdom more. Watch for the opportunities that are naturally coming in to your life and make the extra effort to take advantage of them. Since your logical mind is very cautious it usually talks you out of jumping into new projects by finding excuses to not take action. This generally prevents you from seeing the opportunities that have a good chance for success. A good way to overcome this stuck and resistive pattern is to use less logical thought processes and rely more on your intuition and psychic abilities. (Right now your logical mind and resistance to change is probably already saying, "Forget it! It will never be as good as my logic.") I am speaking from my personal experience plus the experience of many of my clients: If you can use your natural intuition and psychic abilities your decisions will be much more accurate and rewarding. That is because at the intuitive and psychic level of mind (the subconscious mind) you have access to more information, and it is not biased by fears and misinformation in the conscious mind. The tricky thing you must do is to quiet and ignore the logical mind - and that is where the ego resides so it does not give up easily. There are numerous ways to train to use your intuition and psychic natural abilities and they all involve relaxation, focus, and trust. Yoga, meditation, martial arts, and a zillion other practices, training tapes, and workshops can help to quiet the conscious mind and open the subconscious to your intuitive and psychic levels of mind. When you do develop the ability to get away from your logical (and biased) mind and into your intuitive and psychic level of mind you will find miracles happening. It is not necessary to have psychic markings on your hands but it would make the task much easier. You can check to see if you have any hand psychic markings at the Psychic, Paranormal and Spiritual Center.

What Wide Spacing Reveals in Palmistry You don't have to be psychic to figure out this palmistry. In palmistry widely separated fingers reveal an open mind and "free spirit". You are open to new ideas and exploring different ways of doing things every day. You look for opportunities and recognize them before people with closed fingers. You like variety and get bored quickly with doing things the same way all the time. You are not ruled by conventional rules of society. You are generous with your money and spend easily on things that interest you for the moment. You are generous with all that you have to offer others. Your time, energy, and resources are freely given to all deserving people and animals you come across. You are eager to meet new people and have new experiences. Your friendly ways and openness draw people to you naturally. People are attracted to your positive attitude and seek your company. You make new friends easily and brighten their lives with your ability to recognize new opportunities. You see more opportunities in one day than most people can take advantage of in a month. Your challenge is to act on them.

Palmistry hints for even more success in life: You will do exceptionally well in life with your open-fingered approach to all matters if you also keep your thumb open at a big angle. You may have to consciously hold it out. Read about how important a big thumb angle is here. Your finger spacing will change as your mood changes. Watch for this difference in openness as you interact with other people. You will notice that when you are with people that you really like, your fingers will be most open. And when you are with people that annoy you or who you don't trust, your fingers will close up more. Watch your fingers and avoid people who cause them to close. Your open fingers allow you to accept new ideas and explore them farther than the more closed fingered person. You will get a lot of benefit from using what psychic abilities you may naturally have. You can check to see if you have any hand psychic markings at the Psychic, Paranormal and Spiritual Center.

Palmistry

‫ די תמכח‬Introduction to Palmistry ‫ די תמכח‬Palmistry is the study of the lines of the palms of the hands . This section is taken from Sefer ‫" די תמכח‬Chochmas Yad"-"Wisdom & Knowledge of Palmistry" and Sefer Shinuyim - the Book of Changes, and discusses three aspects to Palmistry and "the hands" :#1. The lines on the hand represent the pathway and "blue-print" of ones life "destiny", the pre-arranged plan and ones life journey is mapped out and indicated to an exact plan, as indicated by the precision of the lines on everyones hand . #2. Palmistry teaches that each person is unique, understanding that the strength and individuality of ones' soul is contained within the precise lines of ones hands . The importance of recognizing that GOD has created our physical body with exactness and reflection of our soul, so that the lines on our hands are impressed on our physical body with unbelievable precision . Understanding that the hands are the physical connection between your physical body and your spiritual soul and spirit world . #3. Using the power contained within your hands to bring healing, positive energy, strengthening to yourself and others. Understanding the power of praying with ones

hands, shaking hands, holding hands, saluting, clapping, and using ones hands to protect ones souls and cleanse ones aura .

1. The lines on ones hand indicate - the pathway and "blue-print" of ones life "destiny" The difference between right and left hand Most people will find the lines are similar but only slightly different on each hand. The lines on the left hand are the map of the journey that you were supposed to take when you were born. The lines on the right hand reflect the actual journey you have taken, they will be for the most part a reflection of the left, unless ofcourse you have gone away from your destined path, or made considerable changes. Usually there is a small island on the life line symbolizing two potential pathways to the same end result, both are destined, neither is right or wrong .

The hands represent ones personal identity and souls journey The purpose of studying palmistry is to give re-assurance to know that our life is purposeful, even the several failed relationships, marriages / divorces, children, etc.. Our hands have the blue-print of our individual life pathway stamped upon it . There are NO two hands in the whole world the same , as is known even "finger-prints" used by police world wide, are used to identify individuals.

READING THE LINES ON THE HAND This is jewish prayer we say when we lift the Scroll of the Torah, with both hands, after reading it in the synagogue, and taken from book of proverbs chapter 3 verse16 , it means :Life is in the Right hand, wealth and honour in the left hand . According to Reb Chaim Vital, the right hand gives us the destiny of our life, and the variances in our left hand indicates the gain/loss of wealth, success and fame . (Which correlates to the well known fact that people who are "left -handed" are more likely to be wealthy and famous). For most readings it is easier to read the right hand, ( and only for checking and clarity we look at the left - unless ofcourse the person is left handed ) . From the hand below, you can see there are three main lines . The life line, head line and heart line .

From the hand above, you can see there are three main lines. The life line, head line and heart line. I have indicated the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50 etc referring to age in years. These are approximate and vary of each persons hand according to the size of ones palm. Please read the sections below for explanations of each of the lines.

The Life Line The Life line runs in a curve, it starts just above the thumb, between the thumb and the first finger, it runs downwards to the wrist. It indicates the course of one's life. A short life line does NOT mean a short life - but a short life line means that the significant purpose and intensity and strength of energy of your life to "set you up" for the whole of your life is in your younger years,( once you are established with partner/children then you life has found its purpose and vitality ).

A Major Break in the life line A break in the line or an island simply means another opportunity to start over life anew on a different course . In our generation where many people are indeed reincarnated souls, we have come to earth to relive several past-lives, all of which are contained in this one life, hence we find that our lives have sections of COMPLETE changes , that is change in marriages and lifestyles, even change in circumstances of where we live, change in religion and faith .

We consider this gift of being reincarnated a special blessing and gift . As we are so lucky to have many different parts to our "whole life" which means different objectives and sometimes different relationships for each major part of the life change, unless you have chosen to do this with your true soulmate .

An Island in the life line It is accepted that the point directly under the middle finger is your age 35, ( mid life ) . From the photo of the hands below one can see an island in both hands , this Island starts about age 30 and ends age 40 (approx) which indicates two alternative pathways to the same end product . An island is simply an opportunity and choice in life to take two possible ways to the same end result . However, during the transition of going through an island, it is like "life" has gone on hold, for the period of the island, a detour has been taken, and when the period of the Island detour has been taken, coming back on track is like transforming and arriving back home after a long journey. From the hands below where there is destined island, when he arrived back at age 40 from the detour at age 30, it was as easy as coming back home after a holiday !! (even though the people he came back into their lives were indeed affected deeply) .

Forks at the end of the life line From the ages of 45 there is usually a fork, this simply offers two different alternatives, most 40 year olds experience some type of mid-life crisis where they have the potential to change and alter their life , in accordance to the foundation of aims , goals and objectives that they have worked on themselves from the age of 30 ( after the period known as the "Saturn return of 29-30", see astrology page ). Both these diverging lifestyles are destined, potential and correct, but they are exceedingly different . One pathway simply continues the life one has have lived until then, another life pathway takes a divergence . Usually the diverting and different pathway has an extended life life, much longer than the other continued life . This is indeed a sign to represent that if the person changes their lifestyle, choosing to do live a life they really enjoy, then they will be blessed with a longer and healthier life . A permanent FORK on any line offers a choice of life, which is irreversible once the decision is taken .

Inner Life lines

If there are inner lifelines, these are usually faint lines, shorter than the life line, sometimes they only accompany the life line for very short periods. They follow the same direction as the life line, andy are located between the life line and the thumb ( they are situated on the "Mound of the Thumb" ) . These inner lifelines are an indication that a person is blessed with spiritual guides and angels that are accompanying a person in their life . The purpose of spirit life energy, guides and helpers, is to help maximize and fulfill ones full potential . They are an extra source of life vitality and energy, they give a person an extra added advantage by radiating extra energy within the persons soul and body .

The Heart line The Heart line is immediately below the fingers, it starts beneath the little finger ( known as the "pinky") and moves across the hand finishing beneath the middle or first finger . This line deals with the love life.

Lines going UP or DOWN from heart line The lines going down from your heart line reflect the bad/hateful relationships you have to go through in life , the lines going up from the heart line are the good passionate loving relationships you are given in life .

First experience of love From the age of 15-20 on the line, their will be lines going up towards and joining themselves to the end of your hand beneath your little finger - these are potential "marriage" love lines . In soulful palmistry marriage love lines , do not necessarily mean that you will marry the person . One may choose just to live and make love with the connection . Or have a "crush" on them, connecting ones thoughts and soul with their soul and thoughts . The first experience of love has profound affects on a person, as it is the opening of a whole new world . In the innocence of first love , ones soul and mind is stronger and more idealistic . Looking for a wholesome soulful connection as opposed to sexual desires or selfish materialistic benefits of relationships , as one matures in the adult world . A person who is lucky to meet their soulmate in these younger idealistic years is considered blessed .

Nonetheless, if one feels one has "gone off" the correct and destined pathway in life, then one can think back to those "first love" years , this is one method to find a way to reconnect with the innocence of love and find ones true soulmate . (This is a chapter in Sefer Tikunim - the book of corrections and in Sefer Shinuyim - the book of change) . Accordingly all psychologists such as Carl Jung, explain the reason why people in "mid-life" try instinctively to revisit their childhood, in an attempt to reconnect with their true destiny . Believing that the pathway they have taken is wrong , as they have no true love or soul satisfaction in life , with a sense of "lacking something" special .

Marriage Lines On everyones hand, there are lines going upwards from the heart line, these are potential love marriage lines . There are also some lines going down from the heart line , these are negative influential or failed relationships that have turned hateful . The opposite of loving . Sometimes we meet our potential love, and the line is completed all the way to the side of the hand . Sometimes we miss the love of our life, or it is ruined - which is indicated by a break in the marriage line . There will always be at least two or three chances for LOVE in life - one may indeed meet those potential destined loves, if one is in a marriage or committed relationship, then the test is not to get involved or be a test for a person to make a decision !

Marriage Lines also known as "committment lines" The lines going up from the heart line are traditionally known as "marriage" lines . However the truth is that for some people , a love of work or committment to a project , life ambition , desires or most importantly an idealistic service of GOD , as with dedicated monks , nuns , priests and spiritual leaders . This strong idealistic committment is actually seen in palmistry as a marriage line . "Married" in spiritual service to GOD . Ofcourse they maybe tested like everyone else to prove their committment in their devout relationship . As every committment simply means the constant testing and reaffirming of ones committment to that "one love" of ones life. In much the same way, but quite a sharp contrast, that very ambitious materialistic career people are so devoted to the love of money, that they refuse to have normal love relationships and certainly don't want children . These people are also committed in a marriage / relationship with "love of money" . Which sadly ruins young peoples

lives in our generation , that by the time they "wake-up" and divorce themselves from this false pathway , they have missed the best years of their life , in pursuit of futilities . ( as we discuss this on the page of CHANGE , with respect to mid-life crises ) . That too is written in destiny , and by living a life of mistakes in younger years helps one have a sense of true spiritual alivement in later years after making the changes in ones life .

Lines of "Children" The small lines rising from the marriage lines indicates children in that marriage / relationship . If these small lines are connected with the heart line, this represents that this child will have significant attachment and influence on the parents life .

Break in Marriage Lines In a divorce or break up of a potential marriage/love relationship there will be a break in the marriage line . This too is destiny . The lines on the hand give an indication and reassurance that this was the destiny of that relationship . Lessons needed to be learnt , and possibly Karmic ( reincarnation ) clearance of the past was needed. Learning to release that "type" of person from ones life and learning to change ones character are necessary "heart-break" lessons . Wherever there is a break in a marriage line, there will always be another marriage line , by this indication , gives a person reassurance that the break-up was necessary and that a more suitable relationship is awaiting in the future .

Straight "cold" heart line or a powerful curved wavy heart line A straight heart line if often associated with a person who is emotionally closed and unpassionately controlled, especially if the head line is more clearly defined than the heart line. The more curved the heart line, the more emotional and sensual the subject. People with curved lines are not afraid to demonstrate their emotions and have an intrinsically loving nature . A powerful heart line is always associated with a creative person . Whether they are an artist , builder, architect , gardener , writer , designer , fashion model, singer , songwriter , musician , inventor ... etc . Whatever career pathway the passionate heart line is always an excellent indication to creativity . The creative energy contained within the soul is simply an expression of loving emotions .

An exemplary pair of hands indicating a special person

left hand

right hand

These prints of hands are of a very famous songwriter and musician who is world famous . The soulful, meaningful words of his lyrics have had an impact on many peoples lives . The amazing number of lines and strength in the lines are indicative of the strength of character of his soul . Being blessed with a passionately loving and strong character, has had major imprints on his remarkable heart line . The driving force of his life, is indeed his love of people, love of life and attractive passionate nature . From the hands above, there is a strong well defined wavy heart line, indicating a very passionate nature, with about 5 major lines going down of hateful relationships, ( these are actually indicative of leaving the strong emotional connection of abusive parents at a young age of 17) and the other problematic relationships especially by the age of 30 . This is indication of "letting go" and leaving the parents family and community he was brought up . There are lines going up from the heart line , at least 6 strong relationships of which all 6 seem to be strongly emotionally committed marriages - as the lines are very strong . The strength and depth of the heart line is indicative of the indelible affects of his creative musical career . As his emotional music carries tremendous spiritual strength and passion Musicians and love songs are often written by songwriters with a tremendously strong heart line . Creativity is just a way to express ones strong emotions .

The Head Line The head line runs across the palm from the area between the thumb and the forefinger, in between the heart and life lines . It deals with thinking, reasoning, the strength of ones determination and ability to focus and concentrate . When this line is well developed, long, and straight it indicates a practical mind and success in whatever one focus' on .

IS YOUR HEAD LINE STRONG ? So with respect to ones ability to focus and change, and your strength to do so, see ones potential in the HEAD LINE . If the line is strong and clear with no breaks or waves in the line , this means you have the ability to focus and change your life .

Strong head line - A good worker A strong headline is a sign of a hard-working, level-minded person. A short but well defined line denotes the power of concentration and determined ambition.

Weak head line - easily distracted A faint or fragile looking line, whether it be short or long, tends to be associated with a mind that easily is distracted and bores with long periods of study.

A sloping, long head line, and writers fork A sloping line extending from a point beneath the ring finger shows a mind who enjoys the stimulation of a variety of subjects and interests. If it slopes to a point beneath the little finger / pinky, a creative intuitive mentality is suggested. If there is a fork at the end of the head line indicates an exceedingly creative nature, normally associated with writers and musicians (the fork is actually called the " writers fork ").

The Fate Line The fate line starts at the wrist and travels up the palm towards the middle finger. When it appears apart from the life line it signifies independence at an early age. The larger the gap between the head and fate line, the larger the gap between the subject and their parents. However, if there are faint lines connecting the fate line to the life line it indicates the subject will retain a good relationship with their parents. If the fate line begins as part of the life line, it suggests that the person will be strongly influenced by their parents' guidance and support early on. This by no means suggests a dependency issue because the very existence of the fate line is evidence of a person's sense of responsibility. However, when the fate line begins inside the life line, it does indicate the subject could allow their family to control them towards choice of career, and other personal matters.

Bracelets "Bracelets" is the name given to the two or three lines that run horizontally across the length of the wrist. Many palmists use this to determine the length of the persons life. Although in the same way the length of the life line does NOT necessarily give the number of years, but in fact indicates the useful and purposefully creative years of ones life . Similarly some people after a certain age , have selfish lives , only living and surviving for themselves . Whereas some old people are full of love, wisdom, kindness and helpfulness , continuing a truly useful and purposeful life . This is indicative in the energy of the bracelets . Each "bracelet" line is attributed to 30 years of life span. For example; two full length bracelets and one half length bracelet would predict a lifespan of 75 years, and three full bracelets would represent 90 years.

There is a tradition to wear a "red cotton bracelet" as the spiritual energy of ones hands connecting to the remainder of ones body is at the "bracelet" area. Please see here for the explanation of the "Red bracelet" of Rachel and the page of "spiritual protection".

Changing lines Hopefully, you now understand the basics of palmistry . It must be noted that the lines DO change . Additional lines do appear whether they be on the heart line for good / bad relationships , whether they be on the head line for focused determination , career changes etc , or all over the palm of the hand on mounds of the finger ( which we shall discuss more in the full length website after the book "Heavensregister" is released in the shops ) . As we shall learn in the pages of "CHANGE" from Sefer Shinuyim on this website everyone has the potential to change their destiny . Indeed these CHANGES one makes can be and are reflected in the lines on ones hands .

2. Palmistry teaches that each person is unique Understanding that the strength and individuality of ones' soul is contained within the precise lines of ones hands . The importance of recognizing that GOD has created our physical body with exactness and reflection of our soul, so that the lines on our hands are impressed on our physical body with unbelievable precision . Understanding that the hands are the physical connection between your physical body and your spiritual soul and spirit world .

Correct Spiritual Praying hands

The correct spiritual position for maximizing ones soulful prayers with effect . According to Kabbala only the fingertips and bottom of ones palms should be touching . As each hand represents two different facets of ones soul, ( Kindness and Strength - ‫) חסד גבּורה‬, and connecting at the fingertips maximizes the transference of spiritual energy within ones soul .

Leadership and you How much leadership in you?

A person with hands similar to that shown below will have the major indicators associated with a person who is likely to operate with a natural sense of leadership. It would be rare for all of the indicators to appear on a person's hand. However, several of them on a hand (with no negative indicators) would indicate a very strong leader who takes charge and gets the job done efficiently and effectively. He or she has high ambition and the motivation to tackle challenging jobs for the great satisfaction in completing them through personal leadership.

Area A: The "can do it" person The thumb is what allows humans to grasp and manipulate tools and physical things better than all other animals. The thumb that is low set on hand and naturally out at nearly right angle is eager and ready to go to work! This shows a "take charge" person confident and prepared to get the job done. This type thumb knows that no job is too big to handle and is ready to get started.

Area B: The organizer and director Index finger straight, strong, and significantly longer than ring finger (3rd finger). The index finger is what we use to point out what to do and were to go. It is used to emphasize personal power and to lead and direct. A person with a large index finger enjoys using personal influence to get things done. This person has

natural skills for organizing and directing people to achieve results.

Area C: Keep going until it's finished Vertical line running from base of hand to below Index finger. High ambition and drive to complete things. Has high momentum when doing jobs that carries on until the job is completed.

Area D: Success or else All fingers separated and straight when relaxed shows a person open to new ways of doing things and eager to learn new things. Optimistic that he or she will succeed because mind is open to all alternatives for a solution when a problem is faced. MOTTO: "I can always find a way to succeed".

CAREER Both Fingers Equally Tall The energies associated with the ring finger relate to creativity, self-expression and receiving personal approval. The energies associated with the index finger relate to expressing personal power, leadership, confidence and ambition. . If your ring and index fingers are the same length, then you are living in a balanced way in daily life. You won't often be pushing your point of view on others too forcefully to annoy them. You share your ideas and listen to the ideas of others with equal interest. You don't like extreme points of view pushed on you by others. You are confident and feel best when all things physical and mental are equally balanced.

Natural Creativity for Success Ring finger taller than index finger You thrive on being creative If your ring finger is longer than your index finger it indicates that you have a lot of creativity. The longer and wider the ring finger is, compared to the index finger, the stronger is your creativity. You especially like to do things so you can see the results of your creative efforts. You have a natural advantage for seeing new and unique ways of doing things. You easily and frequently see new ways of using common objects in different ways. You like to be the sole

creator of something that displays your excellent talent and skills.

Your career must use your creativity You will naturally do well and be successful in any career where you can use your creativity. You get great satisfaction from seeing the results of what you create and this is more beneficial to your health and happiness than any material things. Whether you are cleaning a floor or building a huge business empire, the real payoff for you is the satisfaction of looking at the completed task and knowing that you did that! And better yet, you thrive on other's appreciation of your creative ideas and talents! You will do well in any career that demands a creative and inventive mind like yours. Don't continue in a job or career where you can not see the end result of your creative talents. This will be so dissatisfying that your subconscious (i.e. "higher self") will do many things to get you out of there. This means you will experience accidents, problems, and even illness until you get the message that you have to make a change to a more creative and satisfying job.

Hints for even more success in life: Make sure you open the door to people who want to be your friend. Let them learn about your uniquely creative and innovative ideas. Use your best social skills to smoothly put your best creative talents out for others to see. Develop this art of presenting yourself to the world in an extra special way so that others can see and benefit from your creative talents. The rewards will be beyond your wildest dreams.

If your Heart Line is between two of the yellow areas, use the palmistry and palm reading rules of both areas. Your relationship and intimacy will be guided by some of each one. Notice that the Heart Line is long and curved up well under the middle finger. A person with this long curvy line can be happy one minute and down the next, and it may not be due to whats happening in the relationship. Emotions fluctuate from moment to moment and run the full psychological range at any time. Each moment is separate from all the others and has its own emotional charge. A relationship with this person can be like a high speed emotional elevator. If he or she is emotionally "down in the basement" don't worry. Very soon the mood will dramatically change and shoot up to the top floor where the party is. The psychological mood changes come and go like the ocean tides and that keeps a relationship interesting. The Expressive type person with this curved line ending under the middle finger lives in the practical "now". The future is tomorrow and is too far away to worry about. What is happening right now is the most important thing. This nearsightedness tends to make everything at the moment seem more important than future events and activities. Planning for tomorrow's activities are not part of this

person's routine today. This often leads to problems in the future but that just insures lots of activities tomorrow and keeps life interesting! The Expressive person is reactive, demonstrative and rational. She or he can devote full attention to enjoyment of all the senses. This may seem self-indulgent to others but at the same time they are envious of someone who can live and enjoy so much in life. If the middle finger is straight and strong, this Expressive person is not likely to get involved in taking care of other people's needs at the expense of her or his own needs. The Expressive type person is more "me" oriented than the Nurturer type with a Heart Line ending below the index finger (The Nurturer would be more focused on pleasing the partner). Some words that are often used in psychology to describe the Expressive person are exciting, dynamic, unpredictable, alive, real, vivacious, intense, energetic, and active. A relationship with an Expressive type person is a wild ride!

The Psychology of the Humanitarian Type How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy? [NOTE: This description of the Humanitarian Heart Line applies only when there is also a Head Line on the hand. If there is only one line across the palm in place of the Heart AND Head lines, this is a special situation. In that case, see Simian Line.] The Humanitarian Heart Line flows all the way across the palm and out the other side. This Humanitarian Heart Line symbolizes that the loving heart energy is directed to the outer world side of the hand. These people care for and love all living things: People, animals and trees. They have a strong commitment to an idealistic expression of love for all, especially the helpless and weak. Their attention and sympathies are very easily pulled to every humanitarian project that comes into the news. The Humanitarian's challenge in a relationship is to not neglect self and/or their mate while they are pulled toward yet another humanitarian crusade. The mate for the humanitarian often feels neglected and abandon and must have a lot of patience.

The Psychology of the Independent Type How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy? Notice that the Heart Line is short and straight. This Heart Line reveals the least emotional type person for a relationship. Reserved and inwardly directed, these types appear passive about receiving love and act cool toward any kind of commitment in a relationship. They love controlling their own lives and seek calmness. Independents are no-nonsense people who are practical, loyal, and dependable. This person needs "alone time". In a relationship he or she does not want the partner to make demands on their time and energy. He or she may even resort to creating an argument so that their mate will get mad and leave them alone. The peace and quiet afterward is worth the effort of an argument because the Independent knows the "rest period" is absolutely necessary. This person needs these rest and alone periods often, and more than any of the other hand types. It is the Independent person's nature to not hang on to bad feelings for long. After a break and a rest, he or she can easily forget and forgive and move on with life like nothing ever happened to disturb the peace -- even when it was he or she who created the disturbance to the peace! In a relationship they demonstrate love by doing little practical tasks for their mate, instead of getting "mushy". They may show love for their partner by doing practical things like keeping the gas tank full in the car. Since they are so practical, dedicated, and loyal, to them it seems unnecessary to keep affirming their love to their mate in more direct (and less practical) ways. To an Independent Heart Line, it seems much more logical to spend the honeymoon money on the down payment for a house or car. Independents often do well in relationships with a person who has a Nurturer Heart Line. This combination works because one is giving out her or his love, and the other can passively receive it. Maybe this is not a fair and equal situation, but it works as long as the Nurturer is not clingy and is willing to give the Independent plenty of space and time alone.

The Psychology of the Nurturer Type How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy? Strong personal power makes a strong relationship

Notice that the Heart Line is long and curved up well under the index finger. This person expresses love and intimacy energy in a relationship with a lot of confidence, charm, and personal power. The index finger is used frequently to point and gesture to emphasize one's strong personal intentions. Of all the fingers, the index finger is used to most strongly express personal power. This curved long Heart Line ending near the base of the index finger indicates it is using this personal power in relationships. In a relationship, Nurturer types are very giving, nurturing, and tend to satisfy the needs of the mate before their own needs. In the field of psychology they often are classified as co-dependent. The real truth, according to palmistry, is that they are idealists and sentimentalists who see their efforts and caring as their most precious gift to others. They have a lot to give others and do so willingly.

Receiving is as important as giving A common relationship pattern for a person with this Nurturer Heart Line is this: She or he goes into the relationship giving 150%, and never says that anything is expected in return. However, she or he assumes that something equal will be returned. This is natural because a Nurturer is an idealist! Unfortunately, the type of partner attracted to the Nurturer usually is the opposite type. So at some point in the relationship the Nurturer starts feeling resentful and "used". Also the Nurturer's partner no longer gets what she or he has grown to expect, so is dissatisfied, too. When this happens the relationship is over for both unless they can see what is happening. Nurturer types need to understand their own psychological needs and make contracts to get those needs met in order to avoid this relationship pattern. Very early in the relationship Nurturers need to say clearly that (1) they are givers, and (2) what and how much they want to give to the relationship. Then they (3) must say what it is they expect in return. The last step (4) is to ask the partner if she or he is willing to give back what is desired. This contract can be renegotiated at any time. Maybe it isn't written down or stated in exactly this way; however, some form of a contract, agreement, or understanding is essential. Without this basic understanding (i.e. "contract"), the Nurturer may frequently feel ripped off and used. The real psychology to understand is this: The Nurturer should learn to love self enough to feel OK about asking for what is wanted, and be able to receive it without

guilt. She or he needs to know that it is not necessary to give 150% in a relationship in order to get acceptance and love.

The Psychology of the Pleaser Type How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy? Pleasers are very adaptable to any situation. They can fit in anywhere in any type crowd. People with this Pleaser Heart Line will act the way they think other people expect them to act (especially partner, family, or friend). They have developed a deep sense for "reading people" and then know how to act around them. However, it is very difficult and scary for the Pleaser to show their true feelings, especially when they see it would not please someone else. Instead they will focus their actions on what will please the other person to insure a positive response. They will do whatever is necessary to avoid having to deal with the other person's negative responses, even if it requires negating their own real feelings. This behavior pattern to get "peace at any cost" was learned earlier in situations where not doing so brought on painful disapproval, anger, ridicule, guilt, indignation, jeers, humiliation, etc. The price they pay for acceptance from others is loss of their emotional power to feel their own true feelings. People with this Pleaser type of line easily fall for anyone's sob story. They feel that they can somehow fix life's upsets by giving in to other people's needs and wants. This is almost always at the expense of their own true feelings and needs, however. They will never "rub anyone the wrong way". The Pleaser can be a valuable friend because of their keen senses and ability to read people so quickly. A Pleaser needs to feel very safe before fully being real and honest about their true feelings. If the downturn on the end of the Heart Line just points to, but does not touch, the Life Line, then the tendencies are medium. This is also true if the Heart Line is very faint. When the Heart Line end touches the Life Line the tendencies are frequent and severe. If the Heart Line end crosses and goes inside the Life Line, this person will do anything to please others.

The Psychology of the Thinker Type How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy? Notice that the Heart Line is long, only slightly curved up, and ends under the index finger. This person does more thinking about relationships than acting on them. The Thinker is very sentimental and idealistic about relationships. But rather than take action, she or he spends most of the time thinking, analyzing, and diagnosing what the lover or friend says and does. Idealistic dreams are often more satisfying (and easier) than pursuing a real-life lover. The mental self-indulgent fantasies are often much more beautiful and satisfying than any real relationship. Real-life relationships are filled with possible problems that the Thinker worries about even when the problems are not present. This drains emotional energy and action out of the relationship while the Thinker worries about future problems that may never occur. People with the Thinker type of Heart Line are very considerate, just, and responsible about commitments in a relationship. Their relationship must have meaning and they work hard to keep "peace at any cost". The Thinker's ideal romance is filled with poetry, cards, flowers, romantic dinners, and long talks about the past and future. They enjoy thinking over and over about what happened the last time together. The thoughts of what did happen and what could have happened are reviewed in the mind repeatedly. Unfortunately, most of the future plans don't get realized because they spend so much time thinking about the romance rather than doing more in person with the partner. The "Thinker" needs justification to make requests. If there is not a very good reason to request time and energy of someone, they will do it themselves or do without. It takes a crisis for them to ask for help. After all, they are idealists and feel that they should not need help. They suppress both their needs and their feelings in order to look like everything is Often the Thinker is willing to give up personal comforts with an idealistic vision in mind that somehow that will make the romance better and more precious to the partner. But with the correct partner no sacrifices are necessary and the relationship can be better than imagined.
