Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Internet connection
• Book about Palmtherapy techniques and treatments

Gather Palmtherapy Resources

1. Study Palmtherapy practices by reading books like founder Moshe Zwang's "Palm Therapy: Program Your Mind Through Your Palms--A Major Breakthrough in Palmistry." It's available at the Palmtherapy Web site (see resources below).

2. Find a Palmtherapy specialist. The Palmtherapy site offers many resources. It's the official Internet destination for this practice.

3. Consider a Palmtherapist who's also a mind/body practitioner. Mind/body therapy focuses on imagery, meditation and spirituality exercises that can help relieve grief.

4. Meet with your prospective therapist to determine whether he or she is compatible with you. Try to gauge their sensitivity and ask about proposed treatments and how many you will need to feel results.

5. Evaluate the time and cost for this treatment. Call your health insurance provider. Some companies are recognizing alternative therapies for medical treatment. Overall, Palmtherapy is not very costly; but you might need several sessions to fully relieve your condition.

Use Palmtherapy Techniques to Relieve Grief

6. Refer to the book by Moshe Zwang (see Resources below) for palm exercises that target areas to relieve emotional issues.

7. Rest and free your mind of negative, sad thoughts. Replace the old thoughts with positive, happy ones while you perform Palmtherapy exercises.

8. Use thumb techniques on the center of your palm to help promote general relaxation and well-being.

9. Turn the thumb in a clockwise and then in a counter-clockwise direction and repeat this technique on each palm.

10. Pinch gently the solar reflex area (in the middle of the palm closer to the thumb) and hold for several minutes a few times during each day.

Tips & Warnings

• Palmists say our hands are links to our well-being. Keep them safe and exercised.
• Be aware of how much, how long and how often you relax your hands.
• If your grief is keeping you from functioning properly and causing serious depression, consult a counselor or medical doctor.
• It's not medically proven that everyone gets results from Palmtherapy.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
