Wisdom of the Hand and Palm Chakra

As we continue to research the wisdom of the hand and the palm, we’re amazed what we’ve been led to…read on…

THE HAND

In an incredibly small space, tendons, muscles, nerves, veins and arteries are packed as close as sardines in a tin. Sir Charles Bell wrote: "And we must confess that it is in the human hand that we have the consummation of all perfection as an instrument!"

With the eye, the hand is our main source of contact with the physical environment. Touch is the function of the hand. The hand has advantages as it can observe the environment by means of touch. Having observed it, it can do something about it. Hands are a part of our communication system, not only words but also emotions and ideas.

There are three types of lines that can be distinguished in the hand, flexture lines, tension lines (Langer’ lines) and papillary ridges. Flexure lines are in effect skin hinges that open and close during grasping and gripping, following movements of the underlying joints. The flexture lines are permanent creases. They are like folds that develop in a well-worn jacket across the elbow region.

Flexure lines define the principal axes of movements of the hand. There are also a number of subsidiary flexture creases that vary in position in individual hands; subsidiary creases take up the excess skin that balloons when the digits are folded.

The infinite variety of primary and subsidiary flexture lines is a source of great satisfaction to professional palmists whose living is there by guaranteed. There is no scientific support for the idea that palmar creases have any psychic or predictive meaning but it is well known that hands show evidence of occupation, disease, and to some extent temperament, personality and lots of other amazing information.

Professor J.D.Lever writes in 1963: "In spite of the skeptics (in Roman times) palmistry was considered a worthy subject for the study by the intellectuals. It isn’t surprising that with such high level endorsement the ancient art has openly flourished in every age."

Interesting, there are usually 2 bracelet creases at the wrist. Wearing the Sacred Journey Bead Circlets are powerful in itself. We created the Circlets using the ancient symbol of the circle. Is the center of the palm part of the circle symbology? Read more about the circle listed under our Sacred Journey Beads research page.

We have projective and receptive energies. Each must be balanced to be healthy. They’re manifestations of the purest forms of the universal energies that created everything. They have many symbols. In religion, they are known as God and Goddess. In astronomy, the sun and the moon. In humans, male and female, Yin and Yang. These powers are everywhere within the Universe. They are present in our planet and in us. Symbolically speaking, this is why we can produce either sex.

As over abundance of projective energy makes for irritability, aggressive, angry and overly analytical. Health wise, this imbalance can lead to ulcers, headaches, high blood pressure and other maladies.

Too much receptive energy creates moodiness, lethargy, depression, disinterest and a shutting out of the physical world. Other possible problems are nightmares, clinging love, lack of employment and depressed immune system response and hypochondria.

When you notice an imbalance in your energy make-up, carry or wear stones of the opporite type to bring that force into play.

Projective stones are those, which are bright, outward, aggressive and electrical. They possess strong energies, which deflect evil, over come interia and create movement.

Projective stones have been said to help destroy disease, strengthens the conscious mind and imbue the wearer with courage and determination. They are used to promote physical energy, attract luck and bring success. Projecting stones contact the conscious mind. Projective stones are associated with the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus and the elements of Fire and Air. They are also related to the stars and simply distant suns.

Receptive stones are the natural compliment of projective stones. They are soothing, calming inward and magnetic promoting mysticism. They create peace.

These stones are said to promote communication between conscious and subconscious minds, allowing intuitive awareness to blossom. Scott Cunningham and many others also have written that they radiate energies that attract love, money, healing and friendship. Receptive stones are often used for grounding purposes, to stabilize and reaffirm our earth roots.
