5. How Long Does Palm Reading Take?
The length of a palm reading session is subjective to the kind of reading you want. To explore yourself deeply, palm reading can take a long time. But suppose you just want information about your important qualities and traits or your destiny points. There, this reading may be brief and concise. How long your reading takes depends on what your intentions are and what you want to know.
These are five of the most common questions people ask about palmistry. In the next chapter, we will discuss common misconceptions about palmistry and the benefits of this practice.
Chapter Two: Common Misconceptions About Palmistry
Palmistry is one of the most famous psychic practices, which naturally means it is also one of the most misunderstood. The more popular and widespread, the more susceptible it is to misinterpretations and misconceptions. Thus, not surprisingly, palmistry is highly misunderstood, both as a science and an art.
During the Renaissance, the suppression of the practice resulted in a culture of fear and skepticism around palm reading and other psychic phenomena. This created huge misconceptions around any topic in the psychic field and resulted in a deviation from palmistry’s true purposes and processes.
To understand palmistry, you must get rid of any reservations you may have about it due to misconceptions and myths. Otherwise, you may not actualize your full palm reading potentials. How can you effectively practice something you don’t honestly believe in?
One of the most common misconceptions about palm reading is the false belief that palmists are born with a supernatural gift. The media encourages this misconception through movies, TV shows, and other outlets. When you meet a palmist and see how easy it is for them to read and interpret your palms, you may think this is because they are born with that supernatural ability. You may not realize that they put hours into learning, studying, and practicing the skill. You don’t just become a palm reader because you were born with the gift. You become a palm reader through dedication, patience, and consistency. Palmistry and clairvoyance are two skills that go hand-in-hand, and to develop these skills, you need to learn and practice.
It is similar to how you learn how to fix the sink in your house.
Understandably, some people pick up the skills faster than others.
But this does not mean they were born with magic or supernatural gift. It depends on how fast of a learner you are. Palmistry is more science-based than magical. If you are sharp at picking up details, you will do well at palm reading, no matter how subtle. Remember that the practice is based on observation. You don’t need magic to become a great observer; you need practice. As long as you are
willing to be patient in learning the different types of lines, mounts, line breaks, shapes, sizes, patterns, and other indicators connected to specific brain patterns, you will make a great palmist.
Another common misconception about palmistry is that it can predict death. This is entirely false and outrageous. Again, this is a misconception that was pushed and promoted by the media. Many people don’t go for palm readings because they are scared they will come back with news or information about their death. Palmistry cannot predict when and how a person will die. The lifeline is wrongly considered the line that reveals the length of a person’s life.
Believing this, some palmists use it to predict when a person will supposedly die, justifying the fear many people already have about palm reading. The lifeline represents your level of passion for life, not how long you have left on earth. This will be discussed more in the chapter about lines.
Palmistry is also misinterpreted to be a practice that accurately predicts the future. Many people go to palm readers to expect that they will give them an in-depth, step-by-step prediction of what their future looks like. Palm readers cannot do this. A palm reader cannot tell you what you will have for breakfast tomorrow, but many people think they can or should be able to. Contrary to what many people think, the future is not predetermined. If the future isn’t predetermined, anybody who tells you they can reveal what will happen to you in five years is a fraud.
The hands provide insight into the tendencies of your character and your personality, not your predetermined fate. You can infer projections about the future based on the pattern of behaviors you read on your hands. This is how palmists can make predictions about the future. Because behaviors can be changed, a palmist’s
“future” or projected outcome can also change. An experienced and empowering palm reader can help you change unhelpful patterns.
This subsequently improves or changes the projected outcome of your future.
Generally, it is wrongly believed that a palmist should only read the dominant hand. Some also believe that only the right hand should be read. These are misconceptions that breed inaccuracy in readings.
When you first begin reading palms, you will find that your right and
left-hand lines are different. With the wrong information about the hand that should be read, it is easy for a beginner to lose interest in studying or practicing palmistry quickly. No one wants to continue learning a skill where they are not making any headway. There are two main misconceptions regarding the hand to use for readings.
The first misconception is that the left palm should be read for women, while the palm should be read for men. Some people believe this because the body’s left side is for femininity and other related things. The right side concerns masculinity. This is true, but it does not affect the palm to use during a reading. Second, many believe that the hand one uses for writing should be used for palm reading. This is not true. The general agreement amongst palm reading experts is that the right hand, which is usually the dominant hand, should be used for reading since it is directly correlated to the logical brain. The hand connected to your brain’s logical side reveals specific thoughts and behavioral patterns, which means it is suitable for readings.
One point of debate in palmistry is whether hand lines change or don’t. Many people believe that hand lines don’t change, which confuses beginners to palmistry. How can one get accurate readings if the hand lines are susceptible to changes? The answer to this goes back to palm reading’s founding purpose, which many still misunderstand to date.
Palmistry is not precisely the art or science of revealing the future, as many like to believe. The original purpose of palmistry is to reveal patterns of behaviors and how they can change over time. The hand lines change according to changes in the brain; no one is born with a permanent set of lines – they change occasionally. Sometimes they become lighter, and at other times they become darker. If you pay attention to your lines, you might have noticed that they also change direction. For instance, if a person used to be high-strung, they can learn to become calmer and more levelheaded. When this happens, their hand lines may also shift in response to the behavioral pattern changes.
Also, many people think that palm reading is only about reading hand lines. This is a popular misconception, and some start palmistry believing it. The lines are not the only feature of your hand
or palm. You can observe the hand in different ways. Palmists who know what they are doing will observe the length, shape, and texture of the fingers and the hand before they even go to the lines. They also observe more subtle features, such as the space between the fingers.
If you go to a palmist expecting them to give you information about when you will get married, you may leave disappointed. A palmist cannot tell you your marriage’s timing by looking at your hand because that information isn’t available there. What your hand can tell you is about your relationships. One can see strong or weak relationships. When palmists read about relationships, it does not necessarily have to be about romantic ones. Relationship readings can be about any close relationship. The belief that palm reading can reveal when and whom one is getting married is just another widespread myth.
Finally, palmistry cannot be learned in a few days or months.
Expecting to learn or master the art of palm reading in just a few months is equal to setting yourself up for disappointment. This can take years to master. Practice is a critical component in mastering palm reading. So, don’t set yourself up for failure by starting your lesson with the belief you will master how to read palms in a few months. Also, remember that palm reading is not paranormal.
Thanks to the media, many people believe palm reading is paranormal. But really, it is just a study of the hands.
Debunking these common myths and misconceptions about palm reading is very important because it helps you and other new palmists understand what you are signing up for. Remember that understanding is the key to learning. You cannot learn unless you understand.
If palm reading cannot directly predict one’s fortune, then what are the benefits? Well, you stand to gain a lot from learning the art of palm reading. Even though palm reading cannot tell you your destiny as it is set in stone, it can guide you on making changes that will affect your life in the best of ways. Palmistry links your past to your present to get insight into what you can expect in your future. The main benefit of palm reading is that it connects you with your dedicated, inner self. Your hand is the mirror of your soul. By learning to read your hand, you can open up a path to your soul to discover who you are and your purpose in life. An individual’s task in life is to discover their purpose and fulfill that purpose. That is precisely what palm reading helps one achieve.
Palmistry is a means for you to journey deep within yourself and achieve true self-realization. More importantly, you also discover self-empowerment. You can address issues ranging from relationships to achieving your future goals and finding your spiritual path through palm reading.
Your life, like that of every other person on earth, is ever-changing.
Life continually moves as we all endure the passage of time. Every moment in your life has been recorded on your palm. This is why five different lines represent different aspects of life, from love to work, reproduction, and life itself. Reading and interpreting these lines can reveal humongous information about your life, leading to true self-discovery.
It is often said nobody knows one better than oneself. This is true to some extent, but it is not the whole truth. You view yourself through a distorted lens. You may believe that you are a very charming and kind person, but if you look a little closer at yourself, you will undoubtedly find traits that cannot be described as charming.
You will discover things that contradict everything you believed you knew about yourself. Fortunately, your true self can be revealed through the palms of your hand. Through a palm reading, you can gain unbiased insight into your real personality. Friends may lie or distort the truth when you ask them what they think of you, but your hand would never hide the truth from you. A friend is unlikely to give
you a hundred percent constructive criticism of your personality. Still, your hand can well do that. Your hand will tell you exactly who you are without overlooking any area of your personality, no matter how undesirable it may seem.
To know your strengths and weaknesses, palm reading can also help with this. Palmistry can help you gain insight into what motivates you and what holds you back. With an accurate reading, you can uncover your strengths and weaknesses and how they impact your life and the decisions you make. More importantly, you can identify your best qualities and determine how you can use them to improve your life.
Decisions are hard to make, especially when they are life-changing.
But decision-making need not be hard. Whether you are thinking of quitting your job or moving in with a partner, palm reading can help you make the right decisions to steer your life towards the best path.
By reading your palm, you can know the right direction to proceed in your relationships, career, and other areas of your life.
Palm reading won’t spell the decision or solution out for you. Still, it will give you insight into what lies ahead of whatever path you want to choose. If you discover the path is the wrong one, you can easily change your decision and move on to the right path. When you know the right direction to follow, it means you are on the path to discovering your life’s purpose. You can discover the perfect career path for you. Which field are you most likely to succeed in? This is one question you can get the answer to through palm reading.
Palmistry can help you understand why you are here on earth. Like everyone else, you have something to do on this earth. But not everyone knows what that purpose is. Unless you take active steps to discover your life’s purpose, you may not realize what it is.
Determining one’s life purpose is one of the most challenging things to do as a human. It is hard to figure out what your destiny on earth is. Thankfully, a palm reading can be your key to knowing what that thing is.
