How to Use Palmtherapy to Change Your Mood



Palmtherapy is a holistic approach, using precise massage techniques on the palm of the hand, for treating people with emotional issues. It can help change a person's mood, such as diminishing feelings of boredom and blocking negative thought patterns. Experts in this field believe there's a correlation between the mind and the hand due to the path of neural information flowing through the nervous system. Follow these steps to learn how to use Palmtherapy to change your mood.







Things You'll Need:





Computer with Internet access







Research Methods to Help Change Your Mood




1


Find a qualified Palmtherapy practitioner by visiting the Palmtherapy Web site (see resources below).





2


Measure a therapist's dedication. While Palmtherapists are not licensed in the United States, you can check whether they're trained in other areas such as naturopathy or massage therapy to get a feel for their professional commitment.





3


Familiarize yourself with cost and coverage options for service. Typically, Palmtherapy is moderately-priced for a single session. Call therapists to discuss the specific degree of your mood to determine the number of visits.





4


Study where your mood dynamics stem from in addition to seeking a Palmtherapist. Read Robert E. Thayer's book, "The Origin of Everyday Moods: Managing Energy, Tension, and Stress" (see resources below).





5


Determine if something in your diet has you feeling down. Ask a local nutritionist for an evaluation or visit a health food store to see what vitamins are available.



Use Palmtherapy Techniques to Change Your Mood




1


Purchase Moshe Zwang's reference book "Palm Therapy: Program Your Mind Through Your Palms-A Major Breakthrough in Palmistry" at the Palmtherapy Web site.





2


Find a comfortable area to practice Palmtherapy. Refer to the reference book containing hand maps, key lines and areas of the palms as well as massaging tips.





3


Learn and use the thumb-walking technique, which applies a continuous, steady pressure over the area being worked (mostly the lines of the hand).





4


Continue to apply pressure using your thumbnail for up to 20 seconds and focus on staying calm while breathing deeply and evenly.








Tips & Warnings










Use Palmtherapy to send out good vibrations. Experts in this field say treatment enhances personal appeal and flair.








A Palmtherapy session typically lasts an hour and involves an examination of the hands and the stimulation of palm lines that relate to the emotion being treated.








Although Palmtherapy is used to help elevate mood levels, you should see a professional doctor for drastic mood swings (highs or lows) or bipolar disorders.








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.
