Hand Language Human beings have always been interested in magical disciplines and explanations to understand their-selves, their

surroundings and the way to overcome inner and external obstacles. Hand language, without reaching the deeper study of Chiromancy (Quiromancia?), is based on the observation of our own characteristics on each of our hands. The hand is a primary and fundamental tool that man has at his disposition, from the moment he has born, in order to do a thousand different things. Hands are the tool we use to build our own universe; they help us represent our emotions exposing them in several forms of art (painting, music, sculpting, writing, etc). Anthropology emphasize that culture, understood in a wide sense as everything that has been created by men, was molded from the human hand. Jung wrote, Hands, which form and function is related to psyches, can give revealing expressions which can be interpreted as psychological peculiarities of human character. The hand let us relate to the external world, give affection, receive it and expressing our own emotions and personality. As a primary instrument for tact, the hand plays an important role conditioning our brain, body and emotions, developing different answers to the world that surrounds us. Besides being a mirror of our genetic inheritance, they are mirrors of our inner emotions and thoughts. This is why they change their aspect and form through our entire life. Hand study is a revealing discipline, an interesting way to analyze our personality.

Chiromancy is the science that studies the hand as a mean of interpretation of human beings character and personality. The prefix chiro comes from the Greek language, it means hand. Chiromancy is the hand palm reading. The study of the palm lines is the most common use of palmistry and it can take an excessive interest of the reader. Anatomy books call these lines reflective lines. These lines show us the common ways of our thought. Present mind attitude and disposition, past memories and hopes for the future can be seeing in them. Real future, however, is unpredictable, excepting rare conditions that not often happen. Recently born children usually show the general scheme of the mother, but only in the main three lines. They can show the inherited temperament, but it only has a genetic interest. A hand with a few lines does not have a great determination, they can take deep pain because of their resistance. There are general rules about the lines and how to interpret them. Every hand zones, mounts, fingers, etc., are related to a part of our personality. Strength and deepness of lines show us our cortical conscience in that period of our life.
