Top 8 Doublepalm Tips

1. Palm Reading Goes Beyond the Palms

In actuality every quality of the hand is read, not just the palms. Finger length/thickness/leaning direction, hand width/length, fingernails, knuckles, hair growth, joints, hand thickness/firmness, mount height, fingerprints, palm prints, major and minor lines, spacing between fingers, color and temperature of the palm, rascettes (bracelets), decorative rings, skin texture, phalange length/thickness, and miscellaneous characteristics such as cuts, burns, dots, etc. are all part of the reading, and are all very important.

Since everything means something, and not just what is on the palm surface, the first rule should be that when taking a picture of your hand it should contain the entire hand from the top of your longest finger to just below your bracelets and to display both your thumb and percussion (side opposite of thumb).

2. Hand should be relaxed and held in the natural position

There is no need to attempt to stretch out the hand so as to make every minor crease more easily viewable. Holding the hand in a natural position allows for the dominant mounts to be seen more easily and displays the natural lean of the fingers and thumb angle.

3. If using a scanner to take a picture make sure you clean the glass before you scan and after every time you move your hands.

You may notice that smears on the glass of a scanner have a tendency to obscure lines and prints of the hands. Before you put your hand(s) on the glass, and after every minor adjustment, make sure you clean the glass to avoid smudges from your fingerprints. You may want to consider washing your hands to remove any natural oils/lotions that may worsen the smear. Also, consider putting a dark colored cloth over your hands so as to remove any glare and to silhouette your hands.

4. Picture Must Be Clear

The larger the picture, and the clearer the picture, the easier it is to read. Fingerprints and palm prints are important. If at all possible, either make the picture of your hand extremely large so that when zoomed in the prints can be easily seen or take additional pictures of close ups of your finger prints and thumb prints.

5. Consistency, Texture, and Flexibility are important

Generally, coarser skin makes the ridges of the prints thicker and easier to see. The consistency, or firmness of the hands as well as flexibility of the thumb and fingers are also very important, however, and these cannot be seen in a picture. There must be a note along with the picture that describes these two attributes. Some Palm Readers prefer to make notes of the plain of Mars, and the mount of Venus for firmness.

6. Nails, Knuckles, and Hair on the Hands

Nails display one's cardiovascular health over the last 6 month period and also clue the reader in to a number of other health conditions and mineral deficiencies. Including a picture of the nails is not absolutely essential to every reading, but if you're asking about your health or would like a reading to cover as much as possible, then include a picture of the nails.

Knuckles show assertiveness and one's general temperament. Amount of hair growth on the back of the hands reflect one's level of testosterone. This information again is not essential and can be acquired by identifying other things such as finger arc setting and overall hand width, but it is nice to have, especially for less experienced readers.

7. Left Handed or Right Handed?

Always include this information.

8. Clammy or Moist Skin?

If your hands sweat when it is hot, or when you are suffering from some immediate anxiety, then sweating hands are not relevant. If you are a person whose hands sweat virtually all of the time, then please include this information.
