The Spiritual Meaning of an Itchy Left Palm
In the energetic system, the left and right sides of the body perform a different function, so which palm you are experiencing itching in could give you information as to why.
For most people, the left hand is the non-dominant hand, and is the hand that receives energy and surrenders to the flow of the universe. It is the “allowing” hand. If your left hand is itching, it can be a sign that you are receiving gifts from the universe right now.
The left hand is also associated with your intuition and feminine energy. If you feel your left palm itching or tingling, it could be a sign that your intuition is working on overdrive right now and there are many spiritual messages that are coming in.
It may be a good idea to find ways to sit still and tune into that inner wisdom that is speaking right now. Meditation or journaling may open a gateway into receiving those messages or give you clarity as to what they mean.
This is especially true if you have been noticing an increase in signs or synchronicities happening around you, such as seeing a repeated number, hearing ringing in your ears, seeing your spirit animal, etc. It would be a good idea to start connecting these synchronistic signs by keeping a journal.

The Spiritual Meaning of Both Palms Itching
While uncommon, it is possible to experience both palms itching at the same time. So, what does it mean when both hands feel itchy?
Having both hands itching is a sign that you have a heightened sensitivity to energy, which also means that you are most likely sensitive to the energies of other people. This can mean that you need to take care of your energetic health more than most others.
This can be a sign that you are empathic or a highly sensitive person, and have a very nurturing and compassionate spirit. It could be a sign that you are gifted in healing with your hands, and that a career in energy healing or healing arts could be fulfilling.
Once you begin to let your true self begin to help and heal others, the itching will most likely subside, as now this energy has a place to go. Keeping the connection and flow with others in a positive way, so that they can heal, is important for your energetic health.
