Love Your Face. Love Yourself.
February 10, 2012
In the latest issue of O Magazine, Oprah shares:
“I believe that each of us has an essence, a quality at the very core of our being that makes us who we are. It’s what guides our thoughts, our feelings, our tastes. It’s what sets us apart from everyone else. And I believe that finding ways to express that essence is one of the greatest joys in life.”
What if I could share with you a way that you can pinpoint this “essence” — yours and that of the special people in your life?
What if you could understand someone deeply simply by looking at their face?
If you are intrigued, then you’re reading the right post! In fact, I was intrigued about a year ago when I met Jean Haner, author of The Wisdom of Your Face and The Wisdom of Your Child’s Face. You see as a mother I always longed to confirm what I thought I knew about my children that no teacher could come to understand. As early as pre-k our children are already being labeled and treated a certain way–many times in ways that drown their curiosity, joy, and intelligence. Their true nature–what they are excited to share with the world– can be interpreted as something bad that must be hidden or fixed.
Jean opened my eyes to an incredible science that validates who we are to are very core and helps us to understand our strengths, struggles, and purpose in our lifetime. I’m thrilled to both have her as a mentor and to be her student.
The Wisdom of Your Face speaks to an ancient branch of Chinese medicine which teaches that we were born with a unique blueprint that is ours alone, and that this inner architecture is reflected in our outer design–the features of our face. This science provides us with an incredible tool. With this tool we can breathe easier, look in the mirror and say, “I’m so proud to be me….I love my face!!”
The link above to Jean’s website provides A LOT of research and information that you’ll love to read to learn more. Jean also offers workshops all over the country.
I’m happy to be interning with Jean in her practitioner program. As part of this process I will be conducting both mini-readings and in-depth case studies.
During a full-length consultation (60-90 minutes) you also may bring photos of a loved one or colleague to be read as well, as time allows.
Note: Children can be “read” but the consultation will be with the parent(s) using photos.
If you would like to learn more about these readings, or if you’d like to recommend someone who may be interested, please complete the form below and/or forward along this post. I’m seeking 10 case study participants between now and September.
I can share with you that this knowledge and practice has allowed me to better understand myself, others who I interact with everyday, and appreciate what we all have to offer the world and each other.
I’m looking forward to sharing more with you along the way and to hearing from you soon.
Honoring you and your inner architecture,
Monique
