What Is Chinese Face Reading

I Have to Tell You: I LOVE Face Reading!

I had a client come in the other day who was just such a lovely, sweet soul, but sad. So, sad. You could see it on her face, you could even feel it in her bearing. I didn’t really need her in-take form to know that she was sad and isolated, her whole presence announced it.

But, by the end of our time together you could see a visible shift in her – I actually got to watch a little piece of hope being reborn in her. When I asked her what it was that had shifted, she told me it was hearing herself reflected, being able to recognize what I was telling her as true. I have to tell you, it was beautiful and humbling to watch.

What IS it Anyway?

Chinese face reading is an ancient (by ancient I mean thousands of years ago) branch of Chinese Medicine (like acupuncture).. It was originally used to diagnose illness, but the more they used it the more they found that the patterns of energy revealed on the face told just as much about who that person was as it did about what was making them sick.

It didn’t take long for face reading to become a major part of Chinese society used by matchmakers, bureaucrats, and HR departments everywhere. Of course, over the years (and years and years) it has collected a lot of stereotypes and in China it’s suffered the heat of the cultural revolution, but it turns out that the ancient science is just as accurate, and powerful, here and now as it was way back when.

So what, are you reading the expressions on my face?

Here’s the theory:

The world as we know it is made up of a beautiful pattern that all energy (or Being) flows through. As part of your purpose and lessons in this life your soul takes on certain parts, or pieces, of this pattern – to lend you the strengths and weaknesses that will best help you accomplish that purpose.

Your soul then writes itself on your face. It creates your lines and markings, but it also reveals itself in the shape of your nose and the size of your eyes. As you grow, change, and react to life (and make choices) your face changes to reflect all that you’ve become (and are becoming). In this way your face is like a treasure map, one that shows both your personality and nature, as well as your life journey.

So, someone with a large and well defined nose is likely to be someone for whom details are very important – who likes to get things right – and who probably found their forties to be very successful. While a person with large, full lips is likely to be a lover of life – a bon vivant – who likes comforts as much as they love to be in community. And all the little pieces add up to a full picture that makes You!

Sometimes the work offers practical guidance. My teacher is a Lone Ranger for marriage salvation, and I love being able to offer help to parents on how they can foster their children’s natures (rather than squish them) while being better advocates for them outside of the house.

Lately, most of the clients who’ve come through my doors, want to talk about work. Where should they focus now? Is this a good job for them? What should they look for in their work? It’s a theme that Face Reading is surprisingly helpful with.

Other times, like with my sad client, nothing tangible is offered, or even requested. She wasn’t asking me to solve her problems, as much as she was in desperately need of permission to love herself enough to be able to solve her own problems.

I didn’t diagnose or advise her, all I did was talk to her about who she is, about what she needed in her life to feel happy and fulfilled, about what was important to her, and about how she could start bringing those things back into her life again. Her light had gone out over the course of the last year or so, and all she needed was someone to come along and offer her a match, to tell her she was beautiful, wonderful, and had so much to give/accomplish. So that’s what I did!

At the beginning of a session I tell my clients that I am going t talk to them about who they are, and that I am just going to share what their faces reveal to me about their innate nature (the pattern of who you are). That’s all I ever do with anyone.

We all need to be reminded of who we are every now and then! Life wears away at us, and my work is to help restore you to a place of power and connection within yourself – which suits my nature (and my face) just fine! I’ve never seen a work that is more affirming, encouraging, or empowering than face reading – and I’ve got my fingers in a lot of pies!

There’s nothing better than having someone blab on (and on) about how wonderful, beautiful, and fantastic you are – and that’s my job (what could be better than that?). So, if you see me going on and on about how awesome Face Reading is – now you know why!
