On 31st January 2016, my partner and I left Southampton to start a new life as Expats in Gran Alacant, on the Costa Blanca. This blog will document our journey, as we navigate the Spanish system, travelling a path untried and untested. With Brexit looming, political turmoil in Europe and an unpredictable future, harsh decisions have to be made. Illness, family bonds and a Change of heart all make for challenging times in a life of a 'Roaming Brit!'

Interest in Palmistry!

I have spoken briefly in the past about Palmistry, an interest of mine for nearly fifteen years. Last night I had a discussion with friends about this very subject, close to my heart; which brought it headlong back into my mind, briefly looking at a subjects hands, discussing the lines that crisscross the palmar service. What I have never written or talked about, is where my interest came from. Before 2002 I had never even considered Palmistry, in any shape or form. Like most people, I had heard about the practice, but considered it be occult, meaningless, without basis or foundation. Of course before  2002, my life was very different, compared to the period after. I was running a successful business, enjoyed a relatively affluent lifestyle and the so called mystic arts were not important to me. Like most things in life, dramatic changes were approaching and I would use hand reading as an escape from difficult times.

An illness in 2004 was responsible for a change in outlook. I had a lot of time on my hands and wanted to channel my energy into something, a hobby and interest, that I could use to focus my mind on other things and not the illness at hand. Both myself and Darrell had moved in with a friend, who was a tarot reader, a pastime that interested me greatly. Myself and Dominic were close; he taught me much about the spiritual side of life. Although I was fascinated with tarot reading, it wasn't where my talents lie. I became fascinated, addicted, almost obsessional with the ancient art of Palmistry, Chiromancy, or Chirology. 

I have to admit I read every book I could find. Today I have a collection of about three hundred, which I kept when I moved to Spain. Palmistry had become a passion of mine and I began to read peoples hands whenever I could; I was good at it, very good and people were amazed with what I knew; to be honest I was amazed myself. More and more, I built up my confidence, read hands without my books and actually saw signs, circumstances and lives that I couldn't possible have known about. I was unsure about Palmistry at first, but as time went on, the credentials of this practice became more and more obvious.

I am often criticiced by others, who see what I do as rubbish, a lie and not what I pretend it to be. In reply I can only say, I was as skeptical as you at the beginning, but soon realised I was wrong. I studied a book on 'Medical Hand Reading' and soon discovered that this fairground attraction was in fact a legitimate medical practice, used by General Practitioners to determine the state of a patients health. Not only can a heart line show love and relationships, but it can also pinpoint the physical state of ones heart. Equally the head line will identify the mental state of an individual, as well as their educational abilities. A hand will also have a health line and a life line, where the querents length of life is determined by the quality of the line, not its length.

I was hooked and have spent fifteen years cementing my relationship with other peoples hands, enjoying hand reading as much as I ever did, even if I don't practice as much, as I have done in the past! I can't explain why Hand Reading works, it just does. Each individuals hand is different, a map of ones life for us to interpret if we have the abilities to do so. 

I have a scientific mind and believe we should have proof and answers for everything, so Palmistry goes against what I believe in. There is no scientific proof that what I am seeing is real, but when one studies the subject, one is confronted by evidence that just can not be explained. Everything I have seen, points towards an art that is equally as valid and important as any other analytical profession, I could mention. One should always remember that not everything in life is explainable; the day will come, when we can prove the processes involved in Chirology; I still remain baffled as to why it works, it just does. Next time you have some spare time on your hands, sit down google this mystic art and see for yourself, the signs that make up the story of our lives!

Currently I have quite a lot of Palmistry readings to do and will get round to them as soon as I can. At the moment I am busy with work and writing and will fulfill them when the busy summer season ends here.

Thanks for your patients!

    A place to call home
    Finally, a place we can call home.  A community of like minded individuals, who used to call Britain home.  Now Spain is our choice, an altogether gentler, happier, sunnier and safer experience!
