Palm leaf reading

Additionally to being a yoga / meditation teacher and a spiritual coach, in the last two years I joined MyPalmleaf team to help moderate in English and translate in French, on line consultations with a Palm Leaf Library in Tamil Nadu, South India.

I myself got to know about the existence of Palm Leaves libraries more than 15 years ago, some friends went to consult some palm leaf libraries in India, I was curious about it but I did not have the chance to have a personal reading till 2020.

In 2020, my friend Stephan, the founder of MyPalmLeaf, proposed me to have a reading on line. It was at the very early stages of the creation of this platform of MyPalmLeaf. Having been deeply connected to the depth and richness of Indian wisdom for so many years and having also interest in Vedic Astrology, I accepted the invitation. 

• What is the Indian Palm Leaf tradition ?

Indian palm leaves, also known as Nadi palm leaves, are ancient manuscripts believed to contain the life stories and destinies of individuals. These sacred texts, written in an old Tamil script, were inscribed by enlightened sages called 'Rishis' thousands of years ago. The Rishis used their deep spiritual insight to record detailed information about individuals’ lives, including aspects like career, relationships, health, and spiritual growth.

Each palm leaf is unique and corresponds to a specific person, meant to be found at the right time when the individual is ready to receive the guidance and wisdom it contains. These leaves are preserved in Nadi libraries, primarily located in South India. A Nadi reading involves matching a person’s thumbprint or basic details to the corresponding leaf, unveiling personalized insights and advice for their life’s journey.

Mypalmleaf's organisation helps to connect individuals with these ancient manuscripts, offering a unique blend of tradition and modern accessibility to explore the wisdom and guidance of the Rishis.

• How do I personally understand the process of the reading ?

To be really honest, I really don't know what is really written on these leaves that were found for me. Amongst all the informations revealed from the session, what really comes from what is written on the leaf itself, what comes from what is channelled via some forms of clairvoyance from the reader, what part is some form of astrology predictions ? This stays as a complete mystery to me and to all of us who are working in MyPalmLeaf team. As far as I can say, having been part of many readings for myself and for many other people, it would be a combination of these three aspects, but the main thing is that it can help us to connect with the guidances of the Rishis. That is what, for me, is the most important benefit from receiving a reading.

This tradition of palm leaf reading is there for a reason and if you feel the call for it, a reading and its following enfoldment can become a very deep transformational process on your spiritual path and in your daily life. It can help you to discover and/or align more with your true purpose and shift many things in your life to the better. The unfolding process coming from receiving a reading can have a profound impact on your life and also on the life of the people around you. The reason of this antic tradition is fundamentally to help Humanity to get to embody the better version of themselves, individually and collectively.  

• How can you benefit from it and the question of Karma and my personal experience?

The Palm Leaf reading offers you a mirror of where you are at presently and where you can potentially go from here. It will give you future predictions till the potential time of your death, giving you many informations about the various domains of your life: family, intimate relationship, children, career, spiritual evolution, finance, potential future life. 

A very important point to notice, is that the predictions made to you are not be taken like there are written in stone or so, they are not rigid, like you are doomed to it or so, like a fixed destiny. In fact the more we evolve spiritually, the more we are free to choose and to upgrade to an even better version of ourself or a better life line. It can be understood more like something that you need to hear at this present point of your life and that can potentially help you for the next steps in your life at many levels. 

One of the most important part of the reading for me was when it came to reveal some past life karmas that were still active in this life. This past Karma is also connected with the topics of the doshas or energetic karmic dots revealed to you during the reading connected with your thumb print. Those information can help us to understand the negative repetitions in your life. It helped me to assume more self-responsibility for the difficulties I was facing at that point of my life and to open processes of self-transformation to help dissolve those knots and enter in a more luminous version of myself. The revelation of these past life karmas were echoing to some deep fears that were present subconsciously, sometimes for decades and that I could not fully address or solve by any means before. 

So one of the most important aspect of the reading is that it gives you recommendations, tools to make the best of your life, to more and more open to the best version of yourself, with more alignement to your dharma, to your inner truth. These tools are the remedies that are advised to you during the reading.

I have been very deeply involved in spiritual practices for many years and went through some very deep inner work, sometime very strenuous, very demanding. So compared to those processes, the remedies advised in the palm leaf reading seemed really easy to implement, either some processes that you can do yourself or that they can do for you. The effects of these remedies for me were quite surprising, being used to quite strong practice, I, initially, doubted to have much results from those practices as there were so small, so accessible.

Today, I see these remedies acting more like a form of Karmic acupuncture, if your are ready for it, it just comes right in the point in the middle of the karmic knots and start a process of opening and dissolving the knot. Obviously it requires some awareness of those phenomena, having been deeply immersed in spiritual work and tried to address some personal issues for many years, I could more clearly see the effects of these processes on my life and the gradual shift that it helped me to make. Obvisouly, it may differ from person to person. Karmic influences can sometimes be very difficult to cancel, while in other cases, it just vanishes by Grace, without much effort or even awareness. This is the mystery of Grace and its unpredictability.
