Face Reading
Earlier this year, I agreed to be a guinea pig for a Taoist face reading class at Henry's TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) school in Culver City. It was a fun experience and the instructor, Patrician McCarthy, is a remarkable woman. The experience impressed me enough to sign up for her class when she ran it this spring and I plan to follow it through to its conclusion in another three semesters.
The intro class was a lot of fun. Five sessions, three hours each, touching on all the basics of facial structure and how it corresponds to life events, medical states, and predisposition. It's crazy to think that seemingly unrelated things would be reflected on the face, but they are. We do it all the time unconsciously. The woman at the other table is sensual because of her lips. That man has a determined set in his jaw. This sunken-cheeked grandmother doesn't appear to have the will to live...
It goes on, but I won't say more unless you talk to me in person. It's fascinating in a sometimes hokey kind of way, but it's fascinating nonetheless.
