#31 – FACE READING

The Adventure – Learning how to read Faces

The television series, Lie to Me is a show about interpreting micro-expressions and body language in order to expose the truth behind lies.I was fascinated – after all, who wouldn’t be interested in knowing when someone was lying to you?

So when the opportunity to take any kind of face reading course presented itself, I immediately signed up.

Does your face scream absolute awesomeness – or do your features betray the monster lurking within?

Although first impressions are mostly unconscious, with conscious training, you can get a fuller perspective of those around you, if you know what to look for. For thousands of years, face reading has been used as a method to ‘read’ people, to figure out who they really are.

Face reading is called Physiognomy, and it’s been an accepted form of practice by such brilliant minds as Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen and Chaucer. Of course, in this day in age it’s nothing more than a pseudoscience. We don’t believe in such hocus-pocus….or do we?

The evidence for its basis in accuracy is somewhat compelling.

Do you have Sanpaku eyes?

Sanpaku is a Japanese term that means ‘three whites’ – with two of the whites of the eye located to the left and right of the iris, with the last third positioned either above or below the iris. There are two types of Sanpaku eyes – Yin (below) and Yang (above). To have this condition, according to the face reading experts, indicates that a nervous condition, suffering from poor health and possible premature death – depending on the severity.

Michael Jackson – YIN Sanpaku Eyes

Yin sanpaku is where the third exposed white is below the iris. It looks like the iris is floating upward.

Those with yin sanpaku eyes are typically afflicted with exhaustion, no energy, illness. Many are gravely ill or approaching death. The excessive intake of yin substances, such as sugar, refined foods, alcohol, drugs, medicine could play a role in this state.

It is common for those with this condition to put themselves unwittingly into situations where they are attracting danger from the outside (from elsewhere). Some do not survive.

Famous people with YIN sanpaku eyes: Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood, President Abraham Lincoln.

Charles Manson – YANG Sanpaku Eyes

Yang sanpaku is where the third exposed white of the eye is exposed above the iris. It looks like the iris is sinking down toward the bottom eyelid.

It is suggested that this condition comes from the excessive intake of meat, salt, and hard cheeses, not to mention a predilection for violence.

Those with Yang sanpaku eyes reveal a dangerous, self-centred, violent type individual who are only concerned with fulfilling their own ambition without any thought for anyone else, no matter what the cost.

Unlike yin where the danger comes from the outside, with yang sanpaku, the danger comes from within. They can be extremely violent and capable of destruction – not just themselves – but of others as well. Charles Manson is the perfect example of yang sanpaku.

Grain of Salt…

Like all things of this nature, I can only take it with a grain of salt.

Granted, since the face reading course, I’ve noticed some rather interesting correlations between what the instructor taught me and the faces of people I actually know personally. A fellow I know who is super greedy weirdly enough has the ‘greedy nose’. And I’m not accusing him of being greedy – he’s actually admitted it to me. Go figure.

Now, I still haven’t figured out what the mole on my face means, but I’m hoping for something seriously awesome instead of ominous and depressing! Bring on the good stuff!!
