The Hands in the Palmistry (Chiromancy-Hand Analysis)

The Art of Palmistry

The art of palmistry (Chiromancy, or Palm Reading) has been practiced for 5000 years, according to writings from ancient China, India and the Near East. Palmistry is the study of the lines and signs of the hands. The lines and signs of the hand have been used to study the character, as a psychological document or to see diseases at their early stages. The Babylonians and Egyptians read the fortune of a person in his or her hands - as well as in the respective astrological reading, which they saw closely related to the hand lines. This is why they gave the names of planets to the lines, fingers and signs as we still do today. 
Today palmistry is often seen as nonsense or at least a party gag. But we can’t deny our fascination with this ancient art, which has survived for thousands of years, rooting in the rich life experience of our ancestors from all over the world. The hand is as unique as its owner, and right and left hand of the same person are not alike and are read individually. Small children are tactile learners, they learn with their hands by touching, and from there they come to mentally abstract thoughts. We come into contact with our environment by using our hands - we caress, touch, grab, fumble. Brain and hands are closely connected. This is reason enough to look behind the bodily scenery. Flexible hands mean a flexible mind, and the abilities of the hands improve those of the brain. The fields of the cortex related to hands and fingers have improved during the evolutionary process more than the areas, where the other organs are located, i.e. the feet. Did you know, that the thumb needs as much space as all other 4 fingers of one hand together? 
Today it is proven that the hand lines are a representation of the experiences of the central nervous system, and the lines, signs and grids in your hands are the way of the brain to express itself. Changes in the main hand lines mean changes in life. Sidelines change and develop easier with less effect. An analysis of character and psyche through hand lines is thus logical.
