Open palms is showing others you have nothing to conceal and creates a sense of honesty. If one, or both of the palms are facing up it is a good sign that you are hearing the truth.

Now, this is a well known trick among those who might be trying to deceive you- so if you are buying a car or being offered the deal of the century- look for other signs that put you on alert... The person showing palms up should be relaxed, and the palms up gesture should be smooth and natural.

Here we see it again over at the capitol. Judge Sotomayor was very calm and relaxed, which is a clear sign, that shows she is confident, because it is rare for anyone to appear relaxed at any senate hearing... much less a supreme court confirmation hearing.◦
