The condition of the Palm
The palm is another part of the body which represents the whole constitution and condition, physical, mental, and spiritual. It has been well known in oriental medicine as well as in ancient and medieval occidental medicine that palm, including the fingers, represents personal physical and mental tendencies. With this knowledge, palmistry or palm reading has been developed, from an unknown ancient time. palmistry is able to revel personal tendencies and destiny, since each part of the palm correlates to part of the physical constitution.
There are three major lines on the palm (see Figure 2.20 on page 74) which represent the three fundamental systems of out body:
Line A, running from the indentation between the thumb and index finger down around the base of the thumb. This line represents the digestive and respiratory systems. The upper portion of this line shows the lower part of the digestive and respiratory systems. In normal health, this line should be clear, deep, and the longest among all the lines on the palm. The reason this line is called the "Life Line" in palmistry is that physical vitality and longevity largely depend upon the condition of the digestive and respiratory functions. If this line ends before reaching the wrist, or if it is weak and shallow, it shows an inferior ability in digestive and respiratory functions.
Line B, beginning at the inside edge of the hand near the beginning of Line A, crossing the palm toward the outside edge of the hand. This line represents the nervous system as well as the thinking capacity of the brain. It can be shorter than Line A, but should be clear and powerful in normal health. In palmistry, this line is called the "Line of Intellect". It shows a tendency toward determination if the line is shorter and deeper, although it also indicate tendency toward rigidity. On the other hand, it shows broad comprehension if the line is long and flowing downward, although it also shows a tendency toward indecisiveness.
Line C, runs from the outside edge of the hand below the little finger toward the inner edge of the base of index finger. This line represents the circulatory and excretory systems, and it is desirable for it to be clear and powerful. This line could be shorter than Line A, the "Life Line", but the same or a little longer than Line B, the "Line of Intellect". If this line is weak and shows irregularities, it means the circulatory and excretory functions are not operating effectively at present. If this line is long, reaching almost to the root of the index finger, physical vitality and emotional aspiration are strong than average. Due to the nature of circulatory and excretory functions in influencing emotional change, this line is called the "Line of Emotion" or the "Heart Line" in palmistry.
Line D, begins between the index and middle fingers, and curves toward the root area of the ring finger. This line is called the "Line of Love", indicating deep affection for other people or other beings. At the same time, it indicates possible complications in emotional affairs as well as human relations. This line does not necessarily appear on everyone's palm.
Line E, running from the center of the base of the palm, ascending vertically toward the middle finger, is called the "Line of Success" in palmistry. It does not appear on everyone's palm. When the mother was a hard worker during the time she carried the baby in her womb, or if a person has been working hard himself, especially in physical and social activities, this line often appears. Because this line has bee created through physical and social activity, it has been considered as an indication of possible future success.
Line F, beginning near the center of the palm, ascending toward the area between the little finger and ring finger, is called the "Line of Health" and appears only in some people. Like Line E, the "Line of Success", this line is created good physical activity, either by the mother during the time of embryonic development or by the person himself during his growing period. If this line appears, his physical constitution has good resistance to environmental difficulties.
Other line. There are many other minor lines running here and there throughout the palm. The more minor lines appear, the more changes in physical, emotional and social life tend to take place, and more variety of foods have been consumed. Generally, it is more desirable that the lines on the palm be more simple and clear, showing that person's growing conditions as well as his environment have been more simple and straight. It shows also that his consumption of foods has been simpler, but more well-balanced than average. All of the various minor lines have their respective correspondence to our physical, mental and spiritual conditions but, in general, lines going .....
