Since ancient times, the pattern of lines on the palm has fascinated and frightened a person. Seeking to penetrate the mind beyond the ordinary, people from ancient times tried to read the message left by unknown forces on their palms.
At all times, a tendency toward self-knowledge and a craving for the unknown was inherent in man. Many people have dedicated their lives to searching for clues and hints that could at least slightly suggest who we are and why we live in this world.
From ancient times, various mystical teachings have come to us, created in order to help a person understand himself and realize the true meaning of a brief earthly existence.
Palmistry is one of such ancient systems. This is not a way to know the future, it is an opportunity for a person to look into the secret corners of his consciousness. So, the line of life on the hand, its features, combined with the interpretation of all the other characteristic features of the palm, can provide food for thought for a long time.
From the history of palmistry
Mention of the reading of lines on the palms is found in the texts of ancient India. Brahmins were engaged in this science. In China and Japan, the ancient art of palmistry has been practiced since 3000 BC. People who own this art sacredly honor traditions and practice fortune-telling in strict accordance with ancient rules.
In ancient Greece and Rome, palmistry was a universally recognized science; it was used by the great healers of that time, for example, Hippocrates.
In 400 BC, palmistry comes to Europe. This year is a treatise found in England. But only in the Middle Ages palmistry gained distribution in European countries due to the fact that Paracelsus and Johann von Hagen began to study this mysterious science.
At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, people began to lose touch with the past, old traditions are increasingly forgotten. However, palmistry is still alive, although it has turned into fun for some people. At heart, a person is still eager to know his fate and destiny, which means that the secrets of ancient knowledge will continue to enthrall him.
Fortune telling: line of life
So, let's talk in more detail about what palmistry does - the meaning of the lines on the hand. There are many of them, each of them requires a detailed consideration and description. Let's start with the main thing.
The line of life on the arm is basic in the modern sense. It begins in the gap between the thumb and forefinger and goes down to the wrist.
By the appearance of this line, one can say about the vitality of a person, his health, and also about the ability to love.
Here are a few characteristics of the lifeline.
- If the line is bifurcated below, it means that a person is inclined to leave reality in a fantasy world.
- Small lines running down from the main line indicate a lack of vitality. And the same folds, tending upwards, show a person’s ability to restore the necessary level of energy.
- The small lines that cross the main line show a person's tendency to experience fear and anxiety.
- If the line of life on the hand is long, runs close to the thumb, then this indicates isolation and the desire for loneliness.
- An uneven line means that a person has to go through many trials before he finds inner peace.
- A short line indicates great vitality and high resistance to disease.
- Drawings in the form of squares on the main line indicate that a person has higher patrons who can protect him in difficult moments of life.
- If many others cross the line of life, this indicates possible illnesses, accidents and changes that come with great difficulty.
A full interpretation of what the life line on the hand shows is only possible in combination with other features of the palm. Only then can a person put together a more or less complete mosaic of his fate.
