Jane Hawley Edward – Understanding Faces
Chinese Face Reading originated in China’s Imperial Palaces when doctors needed a diagnostic tool. Touching the Emperor’s wives and concubines to examine them was forbidden. By using a miniature ivory reclining figure, the doctors were able to ask their patients to point to the figure to show where they were having pain.
These doctors learned how to correlate each organ, muscle and bone to specific facial features. They discovered how expressions marked on the face by noting where the lines appeared, then matched them to certain organs and their corresponding emotions.
Through this science of observation, a comprehensive body of knowledge was developed linking the facial features to functional organ strength or weakness, and to inherent personality and emotional traits.
Ancient practices that served us well in the past are gaining more relevance today, because they focus on what’s essential and elementary to our lives and health. Chinese face reading is one of those ancient practices that deepens our self-discovery, gives us a clearer sense of who we are and what supports us, without judgement but with understanding and appreciation.
What was old is new again. It’s time to adapt to modern living using the natural philosophies of the ancients.
The more we know ourselves, The better equipped we are to shape our future, to make more conscious and healthier choices about the life we are living.
When we’re true to who we were born to be
When we recognize our traits and talents
When we know what motivates and support us
We can more easily find happiness and fulfillment
I have been teaching and consulting since 2014 and am a founding member of FRIEA, Face Reading Institute and Eastern Arts (FRIEA website). My practice incorporates the proven teachings of ancient Chinese philosophies into practical applications that we can apply to our everyday lives.
While I have always had a deep interest in simple, natural approaches to healthy living, I considered it a hobby and something to do in my spare time. A belief had been instilled in me that work and interests couldn’t intersect, and what I loved to do would not be how I should make a living.
Fast-forward 20 years, through the routine of work and life, building a career in corporate management, I found myself disenchanted. Work was no longer inspiring me. A chance meeting with the Dalai Lama in a hotel lobby, prompted the reawakening of my growing discontent – and a reminder of my real interests, that I’d neglected years before. The choice for me then became either to stay in an unfulfilling position or change direction and find more meaningful, self-directed work.
It was during my study in Feng Shui, that I discovered Chinese Face Reading and had the good fortune to study and apprentice with Lillian. I have had the most remarkable experiences working with my clients, using these proven teachings of ancient Chinese philosophies into accessible, practical applications to all aspects of everyday life.
