Bringing people together to raise awareness for:

The act of Palm Reading, whether giving or receiving one, involves 3 crucial occurrences:

1. Consent:

To give assent, as to the proposal of another; agree: synonym: assent.
Physical, Emotional, Mental
The act of a legal adult agreeing to or giving permission to do something.
Consent can be expressed verbally or non-verbally:
- Verbal consent: The clearest and safest way to give consent, examples include saying “yes” or “that sounds great”.
- Non-verbal consent: This can include head nods, thumbs up, making eye contact, or touching someone.
Consent is important in many contexts, including sexual consent, law, medicine, and research.
Consent must be informed, voluntary, and revocable.
- Informed: Consent is based on knowledge of what the action involves and its likely consequences.
- Voluntary: Consent is not coerced by force, threats, or intimidation. Silence is not consent.
- Revocable: Consent can be given and withdrawn at any time.

2. Oxytocin

The positive, feel-good hormone.
A hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland.
Like endorphins or serotonin, Oxytocin is a type of hormone in your body that promotes positive feelings.
Oxytocin is the “Love” and “Cuddle” hormone.
Decreases stress and anxiety levels and can have a positive impact on social behaviors related to relaxation, trust, and overall psychological stability.
Oxytocin production and secretion is controlled via a positive sensory feedback loop. This means the hormone causes an action that stimulates more of its own release. (For example, when a newborn suckles, mechanoreceptors in the nipple and the cervix are activated, creating a positive sensory feedback loop, which leads to the additional release of oxytocin in the brain.)
Oxytocin produces positive sensory feedback loops, which leads to the additional release of oxytocin.
Palm Reading, exercise, martial arts training, music, singing – especially in a group, touch, massage, cuddling, making love, meditation, and hugging lead to higher levels of Oxytocin and a greater sense of well-being.
Four feel-good hormones: dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin.

3. Social & Emotional Learning (SEL):

Emotional Intelligence: The ability to be aware of and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.
Social Intelligence: involves being able to use Emotional Intelligence to manage your relationships and behavior, especially in challenging situations.
Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) can be important for success in both personal and professional life.
Some skills that are part of SEL include Stress management, Resilience, Conflict resolution, Influencing skills, Teamwork and collaboration, and Building trust.
Social & Emotional Intelligence can be developed through a process called social and emotional learning (SEL), which also helps children develop empathy and problem-solving skills.
Research shows that students who manage their emotions perform better academically, socially, and have fewer disciplinary issues.
