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.

How Do You Handle a Relationship and Intimacy?

(1) (2) (3)

(4) (5) (6)

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

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.
