You are listening to A Psychic Story, a podcast that shares behind-the-scenes insights of people who lead supernatural lives among the ordinary. And I'm your host, Nicole Bigley. Join me every Wednesday as I dispel the myths behind magic and lore. Welcome to A Psychic Story. Mysticism Demystified.

Hi, psychic listeners. Our guest for this episode of A Psychic Story is a total well-being coach and offers guidance related to traditional tarot as well as life purpose palmistry readings. And she's going to be talking about how to be a psychic.

This is the story of Melissa Miller. Welcome to A Psychic Story, Melissa. Thank you for having me. Yes. Well, so the first thing I normally do with everyone is ask them a little bit more about their psychic experiences and even potential abilities when they were younger. So I'm going to start with Melissa.

So were you psychic as a child? And if so, what was that like? I was and did not know, of course. You know, I thought everybody was just like me. One of the first experiences I had was

I remember, you know, being probably three or four years old, laying on the ground in the sun and just being, having the awareness of like feeling the earth move even and just being totally connected to everything. And I did not realize that everybody didn't always feel that way all the time. You know, I could just feel into everything.

That was one of my first experiences. And was it something that when you experienced that your family or your friends also did, did you talk about it? Or was it something that you kind of kept to yourself? Because I remember as a child, I thought everybody experienced it and certain things. I'm not saying mine was exactly like yours, but at the same time, like, oh, and then it wasn't until I got older that I realized not everybody was having the same thing. So yeah.

Were you able, I guess my question is, to share that with friends and family? And if so, were their experiences similar to yours? You know, I don't remember sharing that first one necessarily. Something that I do remember or recall, also some of my first experiences, was being able to sense natural disasters before they happened. Yeah.

I remember having like a dream that there was an earthquake before the earthquake in San Francisco, like the night before, you know, and I just felt afraid to even leave my house that day, those types of things. So did you say that to your family or was it again something that you kept to yourself? I remember bringing it up and it was just kind of like, yeah, okay, you know, or I would have dreams a lot of passed on family members. So that's something else that...

that I'm in tune with is more of medium ability. So sharing the messages I got and a lot of times, oh, that's just a dream. You know, that's just a coincidence. You couldn't really know that, you know, and even when they're just lining up over time, finally, it did start to sink in, I think, to me and others that I had a little different awareness. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.

Yeah, it's very different in my family. So on my dad's side, all my aunts and my grandmother, so my paternal grandmother, they literally can see ghosts almost as these full body apparitions. Oh, that's amazing. I mean, to my knowledge, not gonna lie, never experienced that really. But so we had very different, you know, psychic supernatural experiences. And that's why I asked the question because I find it so interesting to see if people do or don't

share kind of those same things. With you being a mom, do your kids also have psychic experiences and abilities? And if so, are they similar to yours?

My daughter definitely does. My son feels a little bit more disconnected. But for some reason, how you're saying, just familiarly on my mom's side, that's where our gifts seem to come from. I remember getting my first set of tarot cards. I think I was eight years old. And my daughter definitely has the same gift, you know, or she could feel things. She has dreams.

She gives me reading sometimes. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. On my mom's side, it's totally different the way that they experience things. So anyway, but I don't want to take up time to talk about that because this is about you and your experiences and everything else. So what does psychic mean to you? I also like to ask my guests that now moving forward because how someone may explain what psychic is, is very different for each person. Um,

My answer to that, I think, would be connected to my first scientific hand reading. I didn't know anything about it. And how she was explaining it to me is how it shows up in our hands, the markings in that area. It's like being a channel of God or a messenger of God or your higher self. So really, it's just someone that is more open to where the information is flowing and, you know, connected to source energy.

That's what I feel psychic means to me. Well, and that's a good segue into the whole topic of palm reading and palmistry and everything. So what is palm reading in your own words? For me, it's basically our energy, right?

etched in it like a little soul map in our hands. That's what I feel when I look at it. It's like seeing somebody's soul there. And my particular version is really focused on fingerprints that are developed 16 to 19 weeks gestation. It's my favorite part and highest ranking fingerprint where that's located shows life purpose, special gifts and talents, and

you know, lowest ranking fingerprint. For me, it's still some life purpose. Some readers call it life lesson, but to me, it's like something you really came here to overcome and embody and like karma you came here with.

Aside from that, I feel our energy flows through our hands. So you can see through the different lines and mounts, again, basically our soul map there. So you mentioned fingerprints. So that's a little different. You have your palm. And from what I understand, people read the palms, but then you also read the fingerprints? Yes.

My style, I do. I've studied many different forms of palmistry and I've kind of just blended all of my favorite parts of all of them with what I feel is most resonant and accurate in readings. And, you know, by feedback from my clients of, yes, this resonates with me or no, that doesn't line up gypsy style palmistry. You know, that's not how many kids I have. Right. Yeah. And so...

When I tune into energy for at least me, one of the words and the terminology that has been popping up over the last several years is that we all have our unique DNA or spiritual DNA and our own soul resonance. And so it makes sense, I feel, that when spirit says everyone's unique and that there's not another soul or spiritual being around,

like you on this earth, and then we look at our physical form and what that looks like, yes, our fingerprints and or our palm, would you say that that is almost a reflection of our soul's energy or our soul's DNA? I feel absolutely a thousand percent. That's what it feels like to me when I'm reading the energy of it. It's what, you know, it's what we came here with and also what we came here to do and accomplish. Yeah.

Yeah. Because other people who are in different practices, like astrology, for example, will say the same thing, that there's an astrological blueprint of our soul and what we came here to do. So is it this, and I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but I'm just trying to figure out like what the process is for you. Is it that, you know, we come here and that we have this plan as far as what it is that we want to accomplish with this map, so to speak, and

The stars and the planets align because there's a specific time frame that comes and then our physical hand and or fingerprint maps that out too, or is it different? Yeah.

Absolutely. And that was one of my favorite parts studying is I love getting other readings and taking astrology, for example. To me, our map is our map. So, you know, if you have all these different fire signs, what's going to show up in your hands is going to be fire energy. And to me, my astrology readings are like perfectly lined up with what's in my hands. Okay, very cool. So how did you get started with it?

I've always been interested my whole life and just kind of dabbled and read books and things. And when I was in my late 30s, I was seeing a retired psychotherapist who went into the healing arts. She wanted to be able to expand, you know, expand her practice and not be in such a box. And I was having a, it was a really low point in my life. And she said, I think you need to have a hand analysis.

I'm like, what? How is that going to help? I thought it was crazy at first. She's like, no, really, I think this really might help. And I was at almost kind of a desperate place in my life for just seeking answers and guidance and higher wisdom.

And I had a reading from a woman in New York. All she had was my handprints. We ink them. And I sent them there. And the whole reading, I was crying. It was the first time in my life I ever felt really validated with what I came here with. You know, with the intuitive markings that show up in our hands. That's one of the first things that she brought up. And I'd never been validated with that before. And to me, that was, it was life changing, right?

to have somebody validate everything I always felt and didn't really believe in myself at the time. And when you say intuitive marking, what is that? Because my next question was going to be, what are the key elements you look at when reading a palm or a fingerprint? So is an intuitive marking similar? Yeah.

Yes, absolutely. So sometimes we will see what looks like to be a fingerprint in the palm of the hand. So if we have it in, say, the mount of the moon, which is in the, you know, the lower part.

portion under the pinky, if we have one of those there, it's like the most intuitive hand marking that exists because it's a fingerprint. It's not a line in your hands. They believe lines in our hands correlate with neural pathways. So lines in our hands change and fingerprints are forever. So if you come here with that, it's being directly tuned in to source energy as far as palm reading goes. And so what are those key elements when you're looking at reading?

hand or fingerprint? We still look at the elements as far as just the elements we come here to earth with. So for instance, we would be looking like at an earth hand, for example, is a very, it's much more simple. There's,

Very few lines. And if you apply the qualities of earth to that person, they're very similar. They're usually very grounded. You know, they like to work with their hands. They like to be outside, things like that. Fire hands are usually very active people. They can be really kind of spicy. Yeah.

And busy, you know, and so it's really just taking, yeah, the elements of nature and applying them to us in our hands. So I know it's hard because this is audio, even though I can, we're doing video and I can see you and you can see me and, and maybe we can also maybe share some things on social media later too for people to look at. But if they're looking, so do you look at the right or the left? Is that, is there a preference there?

with it? For a scientific hand reading, we look at both sides and it's mostly focused on the fingerprints. I guess traditionally right hand is your outer world. So it would be how you would be presenting to others, acquaintances, how they would see you. Left hand is your inner world. So it's your intimate relationships, how you really feel, but might not be showing to others.

So both of them are important. It just depends on probably the reader or what it is that you're going into with the session in your attempting to learn for the most part. Yes, absolutely. Okay. Yeah, I always ask, you know, what is it you're looking to get out of your session or your reading? And I'll mostly just take the knowledge and apply it to that.

Okay. And for you, when you had that first one, and what was it called again? I'm sorry. You said it was a scientific hand? Non-predictive scientific hand analysis is what they really call it. So that's a mouthful. Okay. So with that, and you said it really resonated with you and that there was this intuitive read on, I forget what you said, but like the intuitive lines.

What were those things that stood out to that reader and that also that resonated with you, if you don't mind sharing?

Yeah. For me, before she even really got into it, she asked me what I did for a living and I told her she didn't know anything about me. She goes, do you just feel like you're dying inside right now? And I'm like, yes, I do. That's ominous. That's why I'm here. Yeah. She's just like, do you feel like really overwhelmed and kind of depressed? And I'm like, yeah, that's what I was, you know, looking for some help with. And she goes, because you...

What you are doing for work is not in alignment with your soul's purpose in your hands. It's not your Dharma. It's not what you came here to do. You know, so of course you're going to feel disempowered and maybe a little sad and all the things that I was feeling at that time.

But what was specifically that she was looking at at your palm? Because I'm just trying to walk people through, like if there's something that they could look at. So maybe part of it is like how do the major lines, maybe the heart, head, life, fate, and you can tell me if I'm totally incorrect in this because I'm totally a newbie in this, but what is it that somebody would look at?

to then inform them within the reading? Yeah. So for me, the biggest part again is within the fingerprints. So for example, if you have the highest ranking fingerprint on your index finger, it's the finger of Jupiter or Zeus. You know, we use mythology to explain things. So if that's your life purpose, which is mine, that's a part of what stood out for me. It was my life lesson and life purpose. It's all in leadership.

You know, Zeus is the God of God. So if you have a life purpose there, you're meant to be an entrepreneur. You're not going to be happy being told what to do by other people because you're supposed to have a kingdom that you run and manage. It's your realm. So that really helped me. So are there like categories that people like? So when you're reading someone's line, because you're really well versed in this, but are there categories that people look at in their palm or could read?

to give them some sort of insight. For example, I remember looking at my, I forget what it was, my like love line or something.

And it's still true to this day, but it was showing me your soulmate or your life partner isn't going to come until really long in your life and later. Now, whether that's true or not, I mean, it's been true so far because that person has not come in. But are there like certain things that in categories that people can kind of look at when they're looking at their own hand? Yeah.

Yes, absolutely. As far as heartlines go, again, it's all the elements, you know, heartlines would show love language. Heartlines are one of my favorite parts about palm reading because it is your love language, how you like to give love and receive love. So when we can understand about our love language and the people around us, it to me makes life so much easier because we take, you know, it takes feeling, taking things personal out of it.

It's like, oh, that's an earth person. They're going to show their love by doing things for people. They're not going to want to express it verbally. Or again, if it's a fire energy, they're going to be very passionate and spicy. They're going to say how they feel in the moment. So we have our heart, our head, our life, and our fate. Is that in simplest terms you look at? Yes. The scientific version is a little bit different. Okay.

Okay. Can you explain that a little bit more for people? Yeah. So the headline would be your way of thinking, the way you process information. Lifeline is your system of being grounded and ability to stay grounded. So if we see a part that's fuzzed out, it would indicate a time of life where you're feeling really unstable and not sure of direction. Fate lines are tasks over time. So it's really...

you know, what you're meant to be spending your time doing. And depending on where that line starts, again, it can show, it can start, for example, in the intuitive area of the hand, your tasks over time are meant to be used intuitively, you know, or, or vice versa. It's, uh,

I guess, was I answering your question? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. I was just trying to think because some people who are listening to this for the first time may not necessarily know the fingerprint portion and myself included, the limited knowledge of a palm. Usually it's heart, head, life, fate. So that's what I wanted to ask about that. And then do the shapes and mounts of the hand tell you anything? Do you work on that in the way you approach it?

Yes, absolutely. So everything really kind of lines up with the fingers and what planet they are aligned with. So it would absolutely go with astrology. And that's what was mind blowing to me is almost, I will always check in with clients too, you know, does this line up with this in your astrology chart? And almost always it absolutely does. So it would be, you know, Jupiter is leadership.

Saturn is like rules, responsibilities, structure. Apollo, the Mount of Apollo is all creative self-expression in the spotlight. What are the mounts?

So the mounts are, so a mount would be under that finger. So that's what that mount would be considered. Okay. That's what I thought, but I realized I asked the question without actually describing what it meant. So yes. Okay. Got it. Yes. And then the intuitive area of the hand is on the other side. It's not connected and that is the mount of the moon. So that is separate. And that's why that's like deep intuitive wisdom. Okay.

Okay. And then how do you interpret like breaks or chains or islands? And before maybe we get into that, maybe if you can explain what a break, an island or a chain is when you're looking at the palm. Yeah. So there's a couple different ways to look at that. Scientific hand reading would be looking at a break, say in a heart line, is it possible break in a relationship? Right.

uh, or injury to your heart. Um, and some type of, it could even be an actual physical form injury to your heart. A break in a headline again would be a disruption, disruption and thought process.

But what does that look like on the hand itself? Is it like, I mean, I'm assuming it's like literal. So if you're looking at a line, I mean, it can't show it here, but I have this one long line. And so then is it a literal break in the line here? Yeah, it could look like an actual, like a complete split where it stops and then starts again. It could even have like a quarter inch gap. I don't have many of those, but I've seen people that have them. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And with feedback, scientific hand reading, I've had people that had head injuries or concussions during that time or somebody was even in a coma. It's, you know, again, our disruption in thought process or disruption in whatever system that break lands on. What's your favorite thing about palm reading? My favorite part about it is being able to provide for others what that woman provided for.

for me that day is, you know, here is your soul's blueprint. Here is this validation. Here is all your magical gifts and talents that you came here to use. And the way I look at it or what I believe is this is your...

highest soul fulfillment formula. So if, if you're taking all the gifts that you came here with and able to, to use them out in the world, it's, you're going to be receiving abundance from everywhere. The universe is just going to be like, you're doing amazing. You're using your gifts. Here you go. Um, and,

And so to me, it's like helping clients with their soul map, their map of life, you know, and meeting them wherever they're at within it. If they're already embodied their purpose and if they're feeling a block somewhere that can definitely show up in palmistry. And oh, well, here's where that life purpose is. It can lead to blocks and intimacy if you're not using that gift. So.

So if I were to come to you and I always think about this after the fact, but if I were like, Hey, Melissa, read my palm, would it be something or my fingerprint or both?

Would it be something where you would say, hey, here is, you know, you come to me or I come to you rather and you read my palm and you give me insight and then you say, come back a year or two? Because you did mention that things can change in our hands, but our fingerprint doesn't necessarily. So is it something where you recommend people a year or every two years or what is that typical cadence when, because astrology is,

changes so much with, with the planets, but at the same time, there's a cadence with that too. So is it the same thing with our palm? And if so, to what extent? For me, it's, it's basically meeting the client where they're at in their journey. And again, for example, say if it's, they have a leadership life purpose and they are overpowered everywhere in their life. It

they would be coming to see me a little more often, finding ways that they can truly be in their power. What does that look like? Where are those boundaries that they need to make with those people to be in their power? What do they need to change in their kingdom? It's more coaching around it. Yeah. It's more kind of similar if somebody were to come to me, I usually say, what are you hoping to get out of this session? Yeah.

It's not, I mean, you can obviously ask a general question, but for the most part, probably helps if...

they're trying to address when they come to you a certain thing so that when you're looking at their palm or reading their fingerprint, you're able to discern and distinguish this is what you need and then moving from there. Yes. Yes, absolutely. And I almost always start with that question too for every client, you know, same one. What do you, what would you like to get out of your reading today? And then that would determine if I would be giving them the scientific version of palmistry or if they're looking for more of the old

fashion gypsy style reading and predictive, you know. Because honestly, that's kind of, you know, when I think of palm reading or tea leaves, no offense. I mean, yeah. Or tarot reading too, even though I do tarot reading. It's one of those, those things, which actually brings me kind of my, to my next question is how do you respond to skeptics who say palm reading is just pseudoscience? Well, usually I'm like, well, I'm

well, let me see your hands and I'll start sharing with them what I see. And it's usually really fun because it helps to change their mind, especially the scientific version. As far as energy reading, that is more esoteric and I wouldn't usually provide that for somebody that is more skeptical. Can you dive in a little bit more when you say the scientific reading versus the energy reading? What do you mean by that for people that might not be familiar?

So a person named Richard Unger, I believe in the 60s, started studying people's hand markings and correlating the markings with their personality traits or their life story, what they did for a living, and studied that over time. And what he basically came up with, which I thought was pretty amazing, is it does show

Really, in fact, line up with old fashioned, more gypsy style reading as far as personality traits, attributes, you know, possible challenges. And that's the scientific or the energy reading? That's the scientific version. Okay. And then what's the energy reading part? Or is it just the alignment of it?

To me, the energy reading part would be more intuitively interpreting the hand marking. So if you saw a bubble, say on a heart line, feeling if that was going to be a heart attack or if that was going to be a heartbreak and divorce possibly, and feeling what the client

It's kind of like when I, you mentioned how you had family members that had tarot cards and things. So I, I stole, I literally stole a deck from my grandmother. Oh, actually it was my grandmother gave it to my mom, her mom.

And then I borrowed it from my mom in college. And she's like, you took this deck. And I was like, I'm never giving it back to you. It's a Rider-Waite's deck or whatever. But I say that because it was part of our family thing where everyone seemed to have some sort of type of tarot deck. And I never could get into it. I really...

You know, every time I would pull a card, I would then go back to the guidebook and I was struggling with this is what the card says it needs to be. And finally, I was like, I need to get out of my head. And I did more what you're talking about. So if anyone's listening and they're struggling with, regardless of if it's a pendulum or a tarot card or whatever it is, it is about

reading into that energy and interpreting it what you think that that person needs. Because especially on tarot decks, you can have a million different symbols.

And something in particular may jump out at you. And I know you also do tarot as well, but would that be your interpretation of it too? Of tarot or within palmistry? Both. Because you said energy, like energy reading as a whole. Because I think that really any sort of tool we use esoterically or spiritually helps us. It's almost kind of like that doorway into something. It's a bridge. It's not the thing. It's not the medium, the tool that has to be the end all be all. Right. I

I feel absolutely the same way. One of my first mystic mentors, when I first started, I remember asking him, I was so frustrated. How do you learn tarot when you go to look up the meaning of the Knight of Swords and there's 50 million different answers? Like, how do you give somebody an accurate reading? And I remember he just kind of laughed at me. He's like, because you don't throw the book

away. You know, it's what that card means to you. And if you're doing readings for yourself, yeah, maybe the Knight of Swords comes up as a boyfriend you had at the time and that personality traits go with the Knight of Swords. Or for me personally, I resonate with the elements. So I use that all the time in tarot within the elements. And again, the same way, you know, how does fire relate to this person or this situation? And

and intuitively interpret. Yes. Yes. Okay. So building on from the last, well, a couple of questions ago, but what are some common misconceptions people may have about palmistry? Probably just within the accuracy of it or how, how it would apply. There are some out there who, who think it's kind of evil, you know, that it's channeling something that is, uh,

you know, not beneficial to people. And for me, I feel it's the complete opposite because those of us usually that are doing it have a life purpose in the mountain, the moon, which is again, it, they call it the spiritual guide or the healer and the meaning to that under the mercury finger is the messenger of the gods. So if someone is practicing morally, then it, it,

they're not going to be the gypsy telling you that you're cursed by what they see in your hand and you need to give them $500 for next week, you know, to remove that curse. But also don't you think, and I mean, I could be, you know, the one naysayer in this or not, but if this is your palm and this is your fingerprint, then how is that evil if it's you?

Right? I feel exactly the same way. Seriously. I mean, there may be the practice of the quote unquote interpretation of it, but it's you. Yeah.

Exactly. And I feel it the complete opposite. My idea of it is here is your soul blueprint in your hand. Here is a way to navigate life. Here's everything you need to know about how to get over anything that you come across right here in your hands for you specifically. It's like a laid out roadmap to me. And I feel a lot the same about astrology too. There are people that often will ask me,

well, why do we come here to earth? And then we have amnesia and we reincarnate and we have all these other lives that we come here. What's the purpose? And as you were talking, what my guides and angels were showing me is if you were

sent here to earth, and then you're literally given this toolkit, you know, your astrological chart, your fingerprint, your handprint, your guides and angels, all these things. These are the tools that allow you to navigate, to connect a source, to find, and then whatever that map is, how you interpret it, okay, but also...

on free will and choice what you would like to do with it. It's not that God, universe, source left you with anything that you don't have resources or insight into. So I don't know. That's just... I feel the same way. I feel like it's all right right here in the palm of your hands. Literally. Literally. Yeah. Here is the perfect

map to whatever answer you have about yourself. The other question I have, and it's totally okay if you need to think about this for a moment, but have you ever given a reading that surprised you? Yes. It almost makes me emotional thinking about it. There are layers sometimes, especially when I'm reading for others that have similar markings to me and they're sharing back with me parts of their story after I've

I will share their purpose and what this particular line means. Does this resonate with you? And they share with me how they've navigated certain things. It's always mind blowing to me.

while they're sharing it, the information I get to help others, if that makes sense. It's like, oh, here's this person. This is what they've been through. This is how they walk the master path out of their situation and just feeling this is now the answer to the next person that comes in with the same problem that I might not have seen in a hand like that before.

So there are some that are just really profound for me like that. Yeah, it's always amazing to me when, and again, I don't do this full time or anything. So I provide sessions when it's, when I have availability for the most part and ultimately that,

feel that I get so much more out of it often than the other people do because the students teach the teacher and vice versa. And the way our, at least the way I see it, our guides and angels are

match make and bring those lessons to life when it comes to those sessions. It's like this energetic healing of sorts that kind of comes through and integrates. And it just is so amazing because it's not only this one transaction or exchange. It's never one way. It always feels like there's this

this copacetic way of sharing information, energy, messages, all the things that you were saying. Yes, I feel exactly the same way. There's a marking in our hands underneath our pinky finger. That's all the vertical lines. And anyone that has four, they call it the gifted healer. If you have eight or more that wrap around the sides, it's healer to healers or healer of healers. And when we have this, the most

important thing to do is be using your healing gifts. And as we heal others, we're simultaneously healing ourselves. That's literally how it's taught. Does it matter which pinky? Because in my pinky, it looks like a wreath. You can't see, but I'll have to send this to you. It's like 25 different lines.

Oh, yeah. You would definitely have the healer of healers. And another one that looks like it's called a message to the masses. So it's healing energy. That's a message to the masses. Wow. Wow. Okay. So do you... I already know the answer, but I'm still going to ask you the question. Do you believe in free will or does the palm reveal a set destiny? I believe in free will and that's something that's really important to me. And why...

why I do prefer the scientific version of palmistry as if, say, I'm giving a predictive reading. I believe that that's the energy read of the person right then and that we all have the ability to change our energy and change our life path based on that. So that's one of the reasons I really don't do predictive health tarot questions because I feel like even if

Even if I'm explaining it as one way, you know, you're going to be having a rebirth here. This might be a hard experience at this time, but you're going to come out and feel renewed. They might see the image of the deck card and it just gets burned in their mind. And I don't want anyone to attract that to their self. So, yeah, I believe energetically we can all change things.

And that also makes sense when you were talking earlier about how the palm also changes. So I would imagine, and again, don't know anything about this because this is not my wheelhouse, but the

That also happens to be if you change something, then your palm changes. Yes? Yes. And I was actually skeptical about that in the beginning. But because I had my very first handprints, you know, from that time of my life that I was telling you about, I was able to...

track my growth, if you will, over time. And so the smaller lines, those change more frequently, but it's really difficult for one of the major lines in our hands to shift, like a heart line or a head line. And I was actually able to shift my...

my headline away from my lifeline, which is like more independent thinking, not having to go along with your original family's belief system. You get to come up with your own. Yeah. So the skeptics out there that would say, well, that's just your hand changing because of

you know, you're writing or you're working your hand. Your belief is, is that it's not only that it's an energy thing in order for your hand to almost update real time what's happening based on the choices in your life. A thousand percent. And so that that's part of why I really resonate and believe in the, the scientific version of palmistry as energy flows and whereas it shows up in our hands. To me, it, uh,

In my research, it matches almost perfectly. That's so cool. Awesome. Yeah, I love it. Okay, so have you noticed any common patterns in people's hands or palms that reflect modern lifestyles? I don't know about that question other than somebody asked me to ask you this. So have you noticed any common patterns in people's palms that reflect modern lifestyles? Yes, and I...

I find that very interesting. It seems to be more, I guess, water type hands, I would say. So like longer fingers, softer, you know, less, it's more, it's more gentle. It's a really gentle energy. It's very connected. It's more connected to the collage.

collective, if you will. And yes, I would definitely say that. But what does the question mean? Honestly, like when you mean, when they say like, with this person, I should have asked them that. But when they said reflect a modern lifestyle, does that mean like somebody that's like a scientist or a healer or what does that mean though? For me more, well, this is the way I interpreted it with modern lifestyle. Yeah.

To me, the way it feels like things are shifting is for others to be more connected, compassionate, empathetic, caring, connecting to each other, sticking together, supporting one another. For me, that's how I would think it to reflect modern lifestyle to where old people,

old-fashioned hands would be more like earth so it's very old-fashioned ways very black black and white no thinking outside of the box this is the way it's always been so for me modern lifestyle is much more aware got it okay yeah that's what i thought but i wasn't necessarily sure so i just want to make sure all right um what's the most unusual palm you've ever seen or read

You don't have to give names, but...

seeing this person's hand and their life purpose and it was so unique and different but once I learned of their life purpose as being somebody very well known that I knew of at a really young age uh

It was just mind blowing to me how they were able to use their abilities in a healing way, which might have seemed even maybe dark to some people at that time, I guess, if you will. Can you provide anything else without giving away their identity? What do you mean by that? Like just like an example, like. Musically. Like, so for example, you know, when I was young, I have a lot of fire energy in me. I have a lot of Pluto markings, which can bring with it

the underworld, you know, feelings of darkness or depression, things like that. So part of the master path is to be on the flip side of that. But at the same time, you also have to go into the depths and feel it. And so maybe in that age, listening to maybe some hard, angry music, you know, or something to that effect, it would make me feel better. It would be an outlet to, I would feel, I would express my emotions through hearing those songs and

And it ended up being such a healing thing where somebody from the outside might be like, why are you listening to such angry music? But it was so therapeutic for me. Got it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a number of ways to kind of interpret that, but I could see. Anyway, that's just, that's so fascinating to me. Okay. Anything that we haven't covered related to your work or palmistry in particular that you wanted to discuss or share? Yeah.

I just feel that it's so important to be validated and your special gifts and talents for all of us. I feel that oftentimes, you know,

maybe we don't validate each other enough or ourself. And to just be truly aware of that and be able to actually see it on your hand and where it is really helps with encouragement and to continue on the path. Yes, absolutely. For sure. And what's the best way for people to reach you? How can they get in touch with you?
