Defects in the lines of the palms

The lines in the palms can be considered as rivers of energy, with the deeper, more strongly etched lines reflecting the wide, steady, slow moving river, and the finer, more brittle lines in the palms reflecting the faster flowing, shallower streams and brooks. 

Whatever the strength of any line, it is preferential to see a smooth flow, unimpeded by obstacles as  this implies that energy is running smoothly through the line.   Therefore any obstacle or defect that appears in a line is considered to create a block impeding the smooth flowing energy of that line.  In the analogy of the river,  should there be torrential rain, the normal flow of the river or the stream is destroyed as the current increases in force, until the water eventually overflows to create flooding in the surrounding areas. 

Building a dam will have a similar effect.  The water builds up as it reaches the dam, until the level of water raises higher and higher to the point where it is forced to overflow.  Any obstacle that the river or stream encounters will naturally alter the flow of the current.  So it is in our hands.  If energy meets with an obstacle of any kind, the result will be a change in that flow of energy, dependent on the severity or strength of the obstacle.

Defects (or obstacles) found in the various lines in the palms will have slightly different effects, depending on which line they are found.  

Life line – a block in a person’s physical energy

Head line – a block in a person’s mental energy

Heart line – a block in a person’s emotional energy

Fate Line – a block in a person’s direction

Apollo Line – a block in a person’s happiness, creativity or success

Some of the various defects that can appear are:

The Dot

Recognised by – a dot that looks as if a needle has punctured the line
Associated with – a temporary shock to the system

The Cross bar

Recognised by – a single line that crosses over a main line
Associated with – temporary obstacle relating to the line on which it is found

The Island

Recognised by – a line that splits into two separate sections only to rejoin further along the line
Associated with - a period of reduction in energy where the line splits

Chaining

Recognised by –  a series of small islands
Associated with – a long term reduction in energy

The Complete Break

Recognised by – the line stops completely and restarts later on
Associated with – a complete halt in the flow of energy

The Overlapping Break

Recognised by – a line that ends, only to be taken over by a new, overlapping section of the line
Associated with – a change in lifestyle or attitude, depending on which line it is found

Feathering

Recognised by – continually overlapping, feathering of the line
Associated with – inconsistent, changeable energy
