Chinese Face Reading
Chinese facing reading dates back thousands of years. It is an ancient diagnostic practice in Chinese Medicine. Called “The Original Face”, it describes an individual’s true nature and “Jing”, one’s inherited constitution or essence.
Face reading was used to evaluate the “Three Treasures”: Jing, Qi, Shen. Students learn the skill of observing one’s face, and practice assessing the deficiencies in Jing, one’s essence, evaluate the flow of Qi, one’s vital life energy, and assess the presence of Shen, one’s spirit. With the information obtained from the face reading, a woman qigong practice can be designed for each individual.
