It is all in your face, your organs, your temperament, even your horoscope. We will show you some basic formulae for face diagnosis, as this should be a basic tool in your Feng Shui and Nine Star Ki readings. We will concentrate on reading the face for constitution and condition .
Constitution

Constitution is what you inherited from your ancestors. It is in the structure of your bones, but can be also read from the face, i.e. form and shape and by looking at some basic features, like the shape and size of the ears, shape and size of the eyebrows, as well as the chin. Constitution can be hardly changed, but when you were to make the effort, it can be done by changing food intake, but results may be noticable after between 7 -15 years. Condition can be altered within seconds or it may take a few years, depending on your diet and exercise program being or not being designed to change condition. Condition is what you built up independent of your ancestors after you started digesting your own food. Condition shows in the face by anything you may find in the face regions shown further down.

Condition

This is but a slight introduction to the subject and it is but one of the many systems available. This article will show you the location of the organs and body functions. Should you want to put what you find here in practise, please read the titles shown at the end of this article and observe your own face and that of others each day. Also, when I started these studies back in 1978, I was in itially overwhelmed with the many features to study in a face. I found it too confusing to look at the entire face. So, what I did was take one feature at the time say the liver section between the eyebrows and spend an entire afternoon sitting on Dam Square Amsterdam looking at nothing but thousands of livers. Next time I would choose some other feature and after a while it all came together. Read on to find what may well become one of your most exciting adventures in life and never be bored ag ain when you are around people.

Body functions

Circulation Nervous system Digestion

Shown is a face devided into three sections, upper, middle and lower. The upper section points to the nervous system. Any feature here indicates a nervous system condition. The middle section covers the circulatory system. Any feature here indicates a circulatory system condition. The lower section points to the digestive system. Any feature here indicates a digestive system condition.

All faces are different and even your own face will change over time, depending on your life style, food intake, exercise program. Diagnosis can be done for past, present and future conditions. Looking at the above image, your diagnosis will be different for a person with wrinkles in the upper region of the face, from wrinkles in the middle or lower region of the face. For example, to change any acne in the lower region of the face, would ask the person to mind food intake and chew more often on each bite. This condition may then change fairly quick. However, for reason that the upper region of our face governs the nervous system, any acne found in this region shows a pe rson that may suffer from fear. This fear must be interpret as more chronic and stemming from deeper causes. Here, changing diet alone will be not sufficient, as the person probably needs a therapist. If you imagine a perfect face, look for any indicati on, like spots, scars, colors, wrinkles, texture and so forth. Anything found in any region corresponds to a particular condition in the organs or body functions associated with that region.

Ancestors

We can also devide the face into vertical regions, to find parents and grandparents.

Father Grandmother Grandfather

Parents are found by deviding the face in two vertical regions. The right side of your face points to your mothers influence. The left side of your face shows your fathers influence. Look for symmetry in the facial features. Symmetry shows strong parents with harmonious marriage. Concentrate on eyebrows, ears and eyes. A left eye that is wider, points to a condition stemming from the father. It is possible to trace back history seven generations in your face.

Organs

You will be able to find the entire body in your face: organs and systems. Once you know where the several organs and systems are, it is fairly straightfo rward. Left Lung is in the left side of the face, right Lung is in the right side of the face. Looking at the Lung region, a problem in the upper Lung shows in the upper region. Some conditions, however, may not show by concentrating on one organ only. Diabetes, for example, is a condition shown by Kidney, Bladder and Liver combined.

Bladder Intestines Liver Spleen Kidneys Lungs Bronchi Reproductive organs Stomach Reproductive organs Kidneys Heart Duodenum Intestines

Ears Should start at eye level and end at nose level. Should be close to the head, not too far off. Should have big earlobes for long life, not grown to the skin. Ears are associated with the Kidneys, who govern prenatal Qi and libido. Ears show prenatal Qi, vision, duration of life and resistance against destiny. Eyebrows Should be long and well defined, not chaotic, not shortened at the end. Eyebrows show prenatal Qi, duration of life and resistance against destiny. Nose Should be well formed and straight. Devided in upper, middle and lower section, nose shows embyonic period. Upper section: first 3 months of pregnancy, lower is last phase of pregnancy. Sudden change in form shows mother changed her diet during pregnancy. Jaw Shows basic constitution. Broad is yang and disciplined, narrow is yin. Broad shows physical hard working - type, narrow shows more spiritual type. Ability to materialize life dream, discipline and endurence. Chin Shows basic constitution. Broad is yang and disciplined, narrow is yin. Ability to materialize life dream, discipline and endurence. Protruded wide - chin shows person who is very determined. Broad and prortruded especially with dimple shows demanding libido.

One day, a Feng Shui colleague of mine who travels a lot throughout Asia to look for merchandise, told me he visited a Maleisia based Feng Shui master for a reading. The master told him that he had a columnar shaped item in the Southeast of his house that he should place elsewhere. This was done, just looking at his facial features. A year prior to the reading my friend had bought such an item in India, but decided to keep it for himself in the Southeast of his house. A Feng Shui master will be able to find clutter in your house, or do divination by looking at your face. A Nine Star Ki master will be able to do divination by projecting the Luo Shu on you face and a Four Pillars of Destiny master may look for clues to find your time of birth.

Luo Shu The Luo Shu can be projected on your face. Any feature shown in the left eyebrow may point to events in 4 Wood years or months. It may indicate events to happen when your Number occupies the 4 Wood House. Some Feng Shui masters may even use facial diagnose. A feature in the left eyebrow region may point to the Southeast sector of your house.

Bronchi Heart Reproductive organs Intestines Duodenum Intestines

Reproductive organs

Bronchi Distinguish between Lungs and Bronchi. Well defined Bronchi show vitality. A person may show lack of discipline through other features for example a small chin -, but this may be well compensated for by vitality, persistence, endurance shown through this region. Heart Tip of nose shows heart condition and should not be off-color or be swollen. Reproductive organs The entire region shown, indicates condition of reproductive organs. Look for any feature, like horizontal or vertical lines, spots, coloring, birth marks. Intestines One other region to indicate Intestinal condition. The more accentuated, swollen, the more tired the person. Duodenum Ulster often shown in this region, oftentimes swollen. Intestines Lower lip showing condition of Intestines. Both upper lip (Stomach) and lower lip should not be too thick. Thick lips indicate tiredness, laziness, lack of resistance, non-productivity. Reproductive organs This region can be swollen and indicates problems in the sex organs, prostrate with males. Protruded chin indicates a willfull person, but also indicates strong sex desire, especially with dimple. When you see a dimple in this region the person is focussed on sex.

Reproductive system Can you imagine the nose and eyes to be indicative for the female organs? Any problem in the left ovary, will show in the left eye. The circled regions just below the Kidney region - show our behind and womens breasts. Look what happens here when a person smiles The same indications can be used for male organs.

Eyebrows Here is an example of shortened eyebrows, indicating constitution problems. It may be an indication for weak health, parents having died prematurely and a shortened life. This has been a wide spread feature, along with loss of earlobes. San Pa Ku San pa ku in Japanese means three white. It points to a condition where the eyes are tilted either slightly upward, showing the eyeballs below the iris, or slightly downward, showing the eyeballs above the iris. There are two basic forms: Yang San pa ku, eyeballs inclined downward. Sign of psychopaths, heavy criminals, terrorists. Yang San pa ku imposed disaster onto others. Yin San pa ku, eyeballs inclined upward. Person is likely to attract disaster and die young. By the time you start seeing this in the morning, someone either replaced your mirror or you should really go see your physician.
