Hello and welcome to this palm reading
video lesson. Today, this is an
introduction to the major lines. It is
just an introduction. If you want to
study more about each line, then there
will be other courses that will be a lot
more in-depth. So we're going to look at
the three major lines today, and as you
can see on the illustration,
they are the heart line, which is at the
top, the head line, which is in the middle,
the life line, which is around the ball
of the thumb. Now the life line actually
shows our physical energy, the head line
shows our mental energy, and the heart line
shows our emotional energy. Or we can
also see the hand as being the perfect
representation of body, mind and soul. Now
those three lines are found on basically
every hand. However, sometimes, the heart
line and the head line are merged
together into one line, and we usually
call this a simian line. You can see
an illustration of a simian line now. To
understand the lines, you have to be
aware of what the ideal line is supposed
to be like. S I'm going to show you how
to determine an ideal line. I am going to
start from the basic hand with the
boundaries of the different mounts. In
order to draw this hand with the different
mounts, I suggest that you watch the video
on the
timing of the lines, because I explained
in detail exactly how to draw all these
sections on the hand. Here we have this
basic hand with the different areas of
the hand well marked. In order to draw
the heart line, the first point we are
going to look at is the place where the
Mercury mount meets the Mars positive
mount. This will be one end of the line.
And the other end of the line is going
to be on the mount of Jupiter, as high as
possible, but on the mount of Jupiter. And
once we have these two points, then we
can draw a curved line that will go all
the way.
Now I mention again this is an ideal
line. It is actually very rare to see a
line this long, but a good line reaches
Jupiter. It is long enough to actually
get to Jupiter. Now let's look at how to
draw the ideal head line.
Again we take our basic hand with all
the different areas of the hand, and we
are going to mark two points. The
first point is going to be at the place
where Jupiter meets Mars negative this
time. So it is the place just above the
thumb, and the end of this line is going
to be just at the corner of Mars
positive, Luna, and then the center of the
hand, which is called Rahu. And this point
will determine the end of the line. Now
it can be a little bit longer than that,
but it will just give you an idea of
where it should be ideally. So once we
have these two points, we can draw the
head line.
Again, we make sure it is slightly curved.
Now let's draw the third line, the
life line. So the first point is going to
be the same as the first point for the
head line. So it's going to be between
Jupiter and Mars negative. And there will
be actually two other points. Another
point is going to be at the bottom of
Venus, at the place where it is
actually reaching the wrist. And then
there will be a third point between
Venus and Luna. So once we have those
three points, we can draw something that
would look like a half circle, more or
less, and this will be our ideal life line.
Now you have noticed that I talked a lot
about this curved line as opposed to
straight line. It's because it is
important. It is much easier to live when
you have curved lines than when you have
straight lines. I'm showing you right now
some curved lines a curved hard line and
a curved head line. Now, curved lines are
seeking harmony and they are flexible so
they accept life. It's a little bit like
an elastic, you know. If you
pull an elastic, it's not going to break
and it's not going to be hard. Now, if you
have straight lines like this example,
this is the opposite. Now, the person is
seeking order, which is not a bad thing
in itself, but sometimes it can be a
little bit too much, so it makes the
person very rigid. So you are going
straight into whatever business you are
in, and you are not very flexible. In
this case, we have both the heart line and
the head line,
which are completely straight. So this
is a person who is very intelligent
but this is like "my way or the highway!"
And when it comes to love, she has a big
heart, she loves a lot, but she's very
very intense. So sometimes it's a little
bit difficult for relationships.
Now let's study in a little bit more
depth the heart line. I'm just going
to talk about the long line and the
short line. The heart line stands for
our emotions and feelings. This is the
way we love and this can be in our very
close relationship like a partner, a
husband/wife, or it can be our children.
But it can also be our co-workers, our
friends, and anybody we are going to
extend compassion, gratitude or love
towards. So when we have a long heart line,
which is, as I mentioned, very rare, we
have a great ability to love and we have
a great ability to express love very
spontaneously. So we are open, we are
sincere and we are emotionally sound. Now
you can see a short heart line. The short
heart line is not going to express as much.
The person is a little bit reluctant
to show his or her feelings. There is a
preference for passion, physical comfort,
sensual pleasures, and there is not as
much emotional depth. Now we are going
to look at the head line. The head line
is in the center of the hand
and it stands for our mind. It's our
ability to think rationally. It is what
we use to make decisions and this is how
we use our intelligence. So the best way
to think of the head line is light, two
types of light, either the reading light,
or the search light. If you think of a
reading light, the spot is going to be
very close so you just see in front of
you. As opposed to the searchlight, which
goes really far away. So you have a much
longer vision and this is the difference
between a short line, which would be more
like the reading light, and a long line
which is more like the searchlight.So in
the case of the long line, as you can see
right now, you won't hesitate to try new
things or to take risks, and you will have
a sense of purpose. A long head line is
also called a "pioneer" head line because
you have this pioneer mind, and you can
actually go to where no one has gone
before!
Now you can see a short head line. The
short head line doesn't mean that you
have just a small intelligence. You
can be extremely smart but this is a
little light, so you tend to see only
what is close to you. So you are more
tempted to surround yourself with
visible signs of security, such as
material possessions, or money, or maybe a
job that you may not like, but at
least it's safe. So this is what a short
line would mean. And now we are ready for
the life line. The life line is the
way we apply our energy. It's how we use
and manage our life force. So the best
life line to have is long and round. And
you have a great example in front of you
right now. When it is nice and round like
that, you want to lead a very
harmonious life. You are happy to go with
the flow. That's why it's such a good line to
have. When the line is shorter and this
happens a lot. And a lot of people are
terrified because they say: oh my line
is short, this mean I'm going to die
young... Not at all, okay? Don't be worried
if you have a short line. In the case of
this person - it's a line that's relatively
short - when the line is short, it just
means that the way you've been using
your physical energy may change. For
instance, an athlete has been using his
body a lot. So by the time he reaches 40,
then you may switch to being a coach or
being a journalist. So he's not going to
use his body the same way. So it's very
often that you might have a break,
because the person is going to use his
body in maybe like... sitting down more
often, and the energy is going to be very
different. Now it is very important to
remember that lines can always change,
including the life line. And here you can
see a typical example of somebody who
had a short life line and, as you can see,
at age 62, it was still short and, at age
74, it mended all by itself. Or maybe he
did a lot of things, but he didn't
really notice it mending. And suddenly,
the line is long! So, as you can see, even
if you have a short line, it may not last.
As you can see here, I drew a little
green line just to show you that it's
just this little segment that could make
the line continuous. So as you saw
on the previous example, the person
mended his own line. This could happen too.
So don't worry if you have a short
life line. Now talking about the shape of
the line, I've told you the best line to
have is actually the long and round one.
But very often, you can have actually a
straight one, and there is an example in
front of you. With a straight line, you
have a tendency to go against the
current. So you remember, with a round line, you
actually like the way it is, it's very
harmonious, you just go with the flow.
When you have a straight line, then you
tend to struggle with life. And you may
have difficulty letting go, too.
So now I'm going to show you another
example of a person who not only has a
straight life line, but the end of the
life line is actually going all the way
to the mount of Luna. Luna is the mount
of the mind. So this mean that the person
is very, very, very busy all the time in
her mind. And the line of life, which
should be just the body, all the body is
actually going to the mind. So she is
just going in circles a lot of the time
So it's the type of people that can
be very tired, because instead
of being totally connected with their
life energy, they are actually going to
the mind all the time. Now it doesn't
mean that they are going to die young.
In this example for instance, it's a
person well into her 90s and she's still
going quite well. But I can tell you, her
mind is always busy.
Now this concludes my very brief
introduction to the three major lines:
the heart line, the head line, and a life line.
So just go look at your lines and look at
everybody's lines around you, and see how
you can apply your new knowledge. Thank
you, and I will see you in the next video!
