Palmistry is not a science, nor is it a pseudo-science. It is an art: the art of using the hand, or both hands taken together, to symbolise the whole person. Forming a pattern unique to the individual in every tiny detail, a person's hand can be seen to represent his or her entire life, their personality, talents, strengths and weaknesses, health, fortune and the fates which may befall them. This book starts with the basics and presents the subject in a way that is easy to learn. It will tell you all you need to know to become a successful palmist, for fun or profit.

Our fingerprints, the dermatoglyph symbols that are inscribed upon our hands, are not only an irrefutable mark of our identity - they also describe individual psychological profiles, each with their own unique signature traits. This definitive glyph pattern guidebook enables you to easily identify your individual fingerprint patterns, so as to understand more about yourself; physically, emotionally, vocationally, mentally and spiritually. Jennifer Hirsch presents over 200 images of the cosmic patterns that cover our palmar surfaces. The samples were chosen from her collection of well over 2,000 sets of hand prints, and include contributions from criminal records. Guaranteed to capture your imagination, the illustrations are accompanied by meanings for when the glyph patterns are on thumbs, index, middle, ring and baby fingers, and the palm. This is a comprehensive chirology 'bible', designed to draw attention to the newest developments in hand reading today and to present a fresh look at the increasingly popular craft.

Chakra Divination (patent pending) is an ancient method of intuitive evaluation, which is used to energize, balance and cleanse the seven major chakras. Even though it's an ancient technique, it's also new, unique and non-traditional when compared to conventional methods of chakra work. This method was given to me from the higher realms as a way to examine the chakras through the use of intuition to uncover problems, find a course of action and to obtain ultimate balance within each chakra. This benefits the person doing the reading on a spiritual level. The artwork and card meanings were also divinely guided. Chakra Divination is a system you can use when your normal functioning energy flow feels disturbed. Through the use of this unique patent pending method and Chakra Divination charts, spreads and cards you can understand how to focus on the chakras using your intuition and perform intuitive chakra reading for yourself and others. The Chakra Divination Ultimate Balance Journal is a must have companion to the Chakra Divination Card Deck (ISBN: 978-1-59611-109-7), The Essential Guide To Chakra Divination (ISBN: 978-1-59611-037-3) and The Chakra Divination Cards & Charts Activity Book (ISBN: 978-1-59611-038-0). You will be able to write down one hundred of your readings, make plans and record your progress in bringing balance to your chakra energy.

Author Randy Handley, a professional musician and songwriter, is also a long-time student of eastern spirituality.

With the blessing of the ancient oracle, Handley shares his Street Corner Ching with you.

Stephen Karcher Thorsons Way of The I Ching The I Ching is the oldest and most powerful Chinese oracle. This clear and accessible guide explains how you can take advantage of its wisdom to create happiness and success in your life. What makes "Way of the I Ching" so special is that, for the first time, we have a concise adaptation of theI Ching that is both an accurate interpretation of the ancient original texts and remarkably easy to understand. Another benefit to this edition is Dr. Karcher's introduction of a new way to consult the I Ching that is not only as easy as the common "three coins" method, but also retains the mathematical model underlying the traditional (and laborious) "yarrow stalk" method. It offers practical information and insight into: the I Ching's roots and history. how the I Ching works - its 64 symbols or hexagrams. how you can consult the oracle and find answers to a wide range of questions. how to recognize and resolve your anxieties and fears, and realize your desires.

New revised edition, 2012. The YI JING (I Ching) or Book of Change is China's oldest classic. It is a book of divination attributed to the mythical emperor Fu Xi. It contains 64 hexagrams or six-line images, which can be used to give answers to any question. Commentators such as the Duke of Zhou (8th century BCE) or Confucius added their wise words to these hexagrams and for ages this book has guided China's millions. The present version of the "Book of Change" is mainly meant as a divination tool. In this translation the authors did not only depend on the text and context, but mainly stayed with the basic structure of the YI JING namely the meanings and order of the trigrams, and the images and order of the hexagrams to clarify the meaning of the hexagrams and lines. They were also supported by their long-time experience of working with the Yi Jing. This new translation of the Yi Jing was therefore not a matter of translating the text from the Chinese language into English, but was rather a transcribing of the essence of the YI JING into concepts that come as close as possible to its actual meaning and purpose. The authors attempted to construct what they see as THE BASIC YI JING: one that is simple and easy, and comes as close as possible to the essence of the Yi-tradition. In their additions, notably named "The Twelfth Wing," the authors delved into the abstract and philosophic aspects of the book. They conversed with other researchers, and completed the book with an extensive bibliography.
