The value and purpose of palmistry
Every one of us is born with certain potential for good and ill health, a potential that is influenced by a number of factors including: our genetic information, the culture into which we are born, the impressions we gather throughout this lifetime, and the actions we’ve taken in previous lives. Some of our health-related patterns are stronger and more ingrained - predisposing us to certain health concerns - and hence more “destined” to be experienced by us, while other health concerns are more malleable and therefore changeable. In Ayurveda, we believe the lines of the palms infer some of this information.
This deep dive into reading the palm from the point of view of Ayurvedic medical wisdom can be incredibly useful to identify the areas that are impacting our health and longevity. Knowing particular predispositions empowers us to take charge of our health now rather than waiting to make changes until we’ve received a diagnosis. It also allows us to meet future moments of our life with preparedness.
The ancient esoteric wisdom traditions
Palmistry is an integral part of Jyotish, the Indian divination and astrology system, that helps to determine an individual's physical, mental and karmic potential.
What has drawn people to esoteric sciences through the ages is the desire to make the right decisions for ourselves and those around us. When we make poor decisions, we often become isolated - we lower our expectations, take less risks, and thus attain lower levels of satisfaction . Our overall life experience lacks depth, connection, and joy.
The esoteric sciences, like palmistry, offer a profound opportunity to support ourselves or our clients in understanding what can be done to move towards a more positive outcome in all aspects of our lives.
