直译: 你可以做出好的解读,仅仅基于这四条主线。

意译: 然而,如果连辅助线也一并考量,你从中获取的丰富细节不仅能让你的解读更加饱满,还能让你有能力向客户提供建议,告诉他们如何利用其他能量源的优势,来弥补手掌某一区域(即现实生活本身)中存在的潜在弱点与隐患。
直译: 然而,通过也考虑辅助线,你从那里面得到的更大细节丰富了你的解读,并使你能够建议客户,手掌某一区域——因此也是生活本身——的潜在弱点和隐患,如何能通过利用其他能量源的优势来被弥补。

STRENGTHENING YOUR ENERGIES AND ENERGIES THROUGH YOUR PALMS
The palm has powerful chakras or energy centers, one in each finger and the thumb, a major one on the heel of the wrist, and another major one in the center of each palm.
You have felt their energies as you ran your hand close to the opposite palm.
As well as being a diagnostic tool and a powerful form of divination, at its most creative, palm reading offers the chance to free extra powers for life and happiness through working with the palms, by releasing some of the resources dormant especially in the Inactive hand that expresses the untapped resources within our whole energy system.
Palms are also a powerful and easy entry point for empowering yourself, as the energies will flow through your palms to fill your system with well-being, and these new energies will be marked as strengthening palm lines in the weeks and months to come.
The Active hand transmits energy, and the Inactive potential hand receives it.
Once a week, put your hands together vertically and press the palms gently but firmly for a minute or two to transfer needed resources from the hand of potential to the Active hand, and to put the hands in balance by passing any excess energies in the Active hand to wait in the potential until called.
This is even more effective if you stand on grass barefoot and rotate your hands from side to side as you press them together.
Crystal Palm Power
Buy a palm or worry stone.
This is a large flat oval smooth crystal with a central indentation for the thumb.
Many palm stones are opaque, and some are richly patterned, made from balancing agate or strengthening jasper.
A gentle purple amethyst palm stone will restore all into harmony and heal any imbalances via your palms into your whole energy system.
Rose quartz helps strengthen the Heart line, citrine the Head line, clear quartz the Life line, and turquoise the line of Fate.
Initially, hold it between your hands while you do the above exercise and then gently place your thumb in the indentation holding the stone, first in your Inactive hand and then in your Active hand, each for a minute or two.
Held between the thumb and forefinger, the palm stone if gently rubbed over the palm dramatically reduces stress levels and releases natural endorphins.
Finally, massage the stone gently over the lines, giving extra time to any that are weak, shallow, or wavy, first holding it in your Active hand to massage the Inactive hand, then changing hands.
Wash the stone under running water after use.
In the next chapter, we will study the mounts that act as repositories of power.
