Face Diagnosis
Maura Bright MBAcC
Sunday 27th January
Maura Bright has been in practice as an acupuncturist since 1982 and has been studying, practising and teaching Chinese Face Reading since 1986. Her face reading is very much in the oral tradition, she learned her skills from Daphne Youngson who was taught by Dr. Wong in Hong Kong. Dr. Wong learned her face reading from Buddhist nuns who, in turn, were taught by Taoist priests in China. She has taught Face Reading at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine and at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture.
Chinese Face Reading is a diagnostic art with its roots in Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. A knowledge of the face can aid diagnosis in the treatment room. Faces give immediate information about gender, beauty and emotion. However, Chinese face reading can tell us much more about a person's core personality by interpreting the mixture of shapes and features using the theories of five elements and yin and yang. Our mixture of elements reveals constitutional energies and our potentials and challenges through life. Inappropriate diet, persistent emotions, toxins and pollutants and organ stress are also reflected in lines, congestion and colours in the facial zones. Knowledge of the Face Zones is a good adjunct to diagnosis and lifestyle and dietary advice.
