Chinese Face Reading Lecture

Introduction

• Focus on Chinese face reading (Mian Xiang means 'face reading')
• Concept: Reading face markings can reveal emotions and clear emotions to remove wrinkles.
• Inspired by training from Lillian Bridges, a leading authority in face reading.
• Bridges' work oriented around personality and temperament over divination/metaphysics.
• Face reading used by agencies like the CIA for emotion assessment.

Schools of Thought

• Comparisons: Joey Yap vs. Lillian Bridges; Joey's focus on luck/divination, Lillian on psychology/medicine.

Practical Application

• Use face reading to understand temperament and personalities.
• Diagnose emotions and health issues through facial features.
• Reorganized Lillian’s teachings for easier use without deep knowledge in Chinese medicine.

Key Techniques and Foundational Concepts

Facial Zones and Decision Making

• Divide face into three horizontal zones indicating decision strategies:
  1. Heaven (Upper Zone): Abstract thinking, creativity, data.
  2. Human (Middle Zone): Practicality, pragmatism, 'what can this do for me?'.
  3. Earth (Lower Zone): Instinct, gut decisions, feelings.
• Public face (right side) vs. private face (left side).

Emotion Lines

• Key emotional lines:
  1. Skepticism: Mid-eyebrow line, lateral.
  2. Joy: Upward from outer eye, short.
  3. Sadness, Sorrow, Grief: Downward from outer eye, longer denotes deeper/older emotions.
  4. Lost Love: Tracks from inner eye down through the face, indicates loss of something meaningful.

Lifelong Features

• Over-nurturing: Vertical lines above upper lip, suspicion (consequently leading to burnout/disappointment).
• Bitter expressions: Grief lines, bitterness lines near mouth.
• Wisdom/Fear: Dimpling on the chin, white puffiness under eyes for suppressed fear.
• Purpose Lines: Lines from nose to mouth, signify being on track in life.

Profiling for Interactions

• Understand someone's dominant decision strategy (abstract, practical, gut) for effective communication.
• Observe features for profiling: Mouth/lip size for generosity and sensuality, jaw strength for determination/authority resistance.

Warnings

• Be ethical in use of face reading; it opens people up creating strong rapport but also requires careful handling of insights.
• Potential for misuse or misunderstanding must always be managed.

Live Practicing and Analysis

• Attendees encouraged to practice on each other in identifying facial zones and profiling based on features.
• Interactive practice integrated for hands-on learning and immediate application feedback.

Practical Case Examples

• Eg., CPA with a prominent brow struggling not to be a hero figure; lines diagnosing life events, sibling birth markings in the ear, changes in facial markings post-trauma resolution.

Closing and Additional Training

• Free 30-minute consultations offered for personal face reading or deeper therapeutic work.
• Mention of expanding into related courses including defense against manipulation, further NLP techniques.
