In 2010, Give Your Face Credit

A recent session reminded me how important Face Reading is when you’re going through a growth spurt of evolution. And evolution is exactly what all of us are going through in this new decade, evolution at a faster frequency than in decades and centuries past.

Gladys was worried about her new wrinkles. We were sitting in session, doing a Soul’s Journey Reading. Mostly we compared her face and aura on The Big Wedding Day vs. now, some 30 years later.

And, of course, we were using my system of Face Reading Secrets(R), which you can learn most easily from my how-to book The Power of Face Reading.

Face Reading Discovery #1: Symmetry can increase over time

Gladys went from extreme asymmetry to symmetry. Often we hear that faces ”always” grow more asymmetrical ”with age.” Comparing the left side to the right one, supposedly, the face becomes weirder and weirder, older and more pathetic, worse in every possible way.

Actually, that doesn’t necessarily happen. Skilled face readers don’t just assume. We look. We check out the physical face data, and then interpret it with a system like Face Reading Secrets.

• The left side of your face, or anyone’s, is about what you are like in your personal life.
• The right side carries information about what you’re like at work, or with strangers.

The degree of symmetry, in itself, isn’t good or bad. Reading Gladys’ face, it turned out to be a good thing that her face changed in the direction of more symmetry.

And don’t blame Gladys for being vain. It isn’t unusual at all that a perfectly normal person would obsess over wrinkles. Without Face Reading, she or he would miss the really excellent news about how a face changes. 

Face Reading Discovery #2: Jaw changes 

When young and perky, Glady’s jaw was very narrow on the left side. The challenge with that was that she found confrontations with other people hard.

On the right side, her jaw was moderately wide. Meaning? Outside family life, Gladys was more resourceful when handling conflict.

When 50 years old, and still perky, Gladys’ jaw width matched up. The narrower jaw had grown wider, reaching the same size as the one on her right.

She could relate to the meaning: More resourceful and, frankly, less of a wimp at handling conflicts in her personal relationships. 

Face Reading Discovery #3: No roaming charges on this nose

Unlike a cell phone, faces don’t have roaming charges. Which turned out to be good for Gladys and the natural migration of her nose.

Earlier, her nose was strongly angled over to the left side of her face. Did she feel pressured, back in the day to do the kind of work her parents wanted? Exactly. That’s why she became a lawyer, like them, even though really she cringed at the work.

Now Gladys’s nose has grown straighter left-to-right. Firmly in place, at the center of her face, she’s still a lawyer, but has made peace with the work. She does it for her sake now, not to please anyone else in her family.

Did Gladys find that meaningful physical change meshed with her growth as a person? Definitely.

Face Reading Discovery #4: Eyes that bounced 

Eye angles can change as the result of emotional trauma. In Gladys’s youth, both eyes were angled slightly upwards.

A photo of her right after the divorce showed her eyes angling downward. Gladys was gaining compassion, the byproduct of enduring great suffering.

Years after that divorce, Gladys’ eye angles have bounced back up. At least if you can call it a “bounce” when the outer corners of an eye move upward by a distance of less than one inch.

The meaning? Gladys gets to keep that hard-won compassion. But she is also happier now, even spontaneously optimistic about her life.

And, yes, she could relate.

Face Reading Discovery #5: About those dreaded wrinkles 

Forehead wrinkles scare people, some people anyway. Gladys was worried about three new lines, each one perpendicular to her eyebrows, reaching up to her third eye.

Maybe the rumors have reached you: All forehead lines are “worry lines.” At least that’s what the cosmetic surgeons say. As in, “Poor dear, you’re just so beautifully and generously concerned about other people, and that is why your forehead has developed those hideous lines.”

Ha! Each line means something, as does every single face change. (See Wrinkles Are God’s Makeup: How You Can Find Meaning in Your Evolving Face .)

And these particular lines simply meant that Gladys had worked super-hard spiritually. She had pushed herself, wheedled herself, whispered to herself, “Be kind. Find the best way to make your present situation work. Use your spiritual resources to find strength from within yourself.”

I call lines like these “The Mark of Devotion.” Gladys had come by them honestly. And was she ever relieved to hear about their significance.

In our next blog post, we’ll continue with Face Reading perspective that you can bring into the New Year. Meanwhile, any questions or comments? Don’t just face read your mouth. Use it, and your typing fingers, to communicate.
