Thank you Sue for your inputs. Your personal experience led me to write my own.
At first, I did not notice palms the way I notice now. Most of the times, people catch me not listening to them but instead - trying to take a glimpse of their palms -which is so OH! interesting than their talks, at times.
I got into palmistry not even a year back. I have a penchant of browsing internet a lot and I came across this website to know myself through the lines on my hands. Although, out of the many options I had to choose in shapes and sizes of heartline, head line and lifeline - I would try different options and see how the readings would come out different. Slowly and gradually, I thought of getting some books from my local library and reading them during my free time - which I did. Initially, it started with one and then two and it went on till I read all the books from my local library - free of charge. Then I got my friend to loan me books from her county library and I read all of them.
Interestingly, the first book of Palmistry was 'Idiot's guide to Palmistry'. It was good fun reading that book - though now I would not recommend it to anyone because if I had taken that book seriously - I would not have even come this far. I started taking scans of my hands. Uptil date, I cannot fathom my own palms and decipher what kind of person I am. I tried taking pictures of my husband's hands and that too did not make much sense.
Then I remember reading this book 'Art of Palmistry'. It had so lucid clear colour photographs that I was in awe with this book.
I own some 4-5 books on palmistry, but my thirst has not stopped as yet. I still ask for pictures of my friends hands. THey scoff at first but then they readily give me the pictures because they do not have to pay for anything, yet they are interested and curious to know as to what I tell them. I even tried going on the internet and joining some forums where I actually asked for a strangers hands pictures and I told them I would send the reading via email. THis was the strongest point of motivation because the feedback I received from them after I sent the reading, made my interest grow by leaps and bounds in palmistry.
I also owe a lot to this website - Had it not been for International Palmistry Discussion forum - I know I would not have got the best feedback from experts.
Thanks, Sue!

Hi Hansi 
Thank you so much for adding your own personal experience of how you got into palmistry. And I'm really pleased to hear that this community has been a help to you. 
I must admit, I've read quite a few books on palmistry - they're taking over my bookshelves, and some of them have been brilliant, some good, some not quite so good, and some .... well, the least said about them, the better! What is interesting about books is that most of them offer the unique perspective of the author, which can be very helpful in more clearly understanding a specific feature. After reading a lot of authors, you can begin to see how the authors perspective and individual perception can really 'colour' an interpretation. So often you have to go below the surface of what they are saying and look for the underlying interpretation without the extra 'colour'. You have to really strip off that colouring to see why the author is offering a particular interpretation. But there are also times when that extra colour that an author offers can just be enough to tip the scales towards greater understanding. So reading widely has got to be an important factor for becoming proficient at hand reading. And if you put many authors interpretations side by side, and examine the similiarities and the differences, you can begin to see exactly HOW each author's work is being coloured by his or her own perspective.
Offering to do hand readings can be a good idea, because feedback can be so helpful, and it can really boost your confidence when you find people saying, wow, how do you know that? I've never forgotten a man asking me to quickly look into his hands. I knew him vaguely because he was a customer where I was working. I had already noticed the way he used to stare at me while I was working. I had already noticed the colour of his skin/eyes/hair and how quiet he was. So when I looked into his hands and immediately saw a Simian line, I immediately pictured a Scorpio personality. So I asked him, 'Are you a scorpio?' It makes me smile, thinking back, because the look on his face was a picture. So quizzical - so suspicious! And he said 'How did you KNOW that?' Well, it wasn't due to being psychic - it was a mixture of his manner, his quiet behaviour, his colouring, and of course, that Simian line, all combining to make up my own image of a scorpio personality. Palmistry certainly has its moments!
Thanks again for offering your own personal experience and for letting all members who read this know how motivating it can be to receive positive feedback.
Sue

Hello Hansi,
Many books indeed create 'unrealistic' expectations regarding the potential of hand analysis. Great to hear that you've been able to go beyond what is written in the BOOKS about hands.
