Speech Topics

Face Reading/Diagnosis – Faces convey a primal language we all know but forget to use.  More specific than body language, the expressions, markings and features of the face give amazing insight into the personality and character of yourself and others. Learning to recognize the messages that faces convey can become an invaluable tool that enhances all personal and business communications.  The face is also a map of life experience and a blueprint for the body’s function.  The areas of the face correspond to the organs of the body and give access to signs of Jing, Qi, Shen and the functioning of the Wei Qi.  From the facial markings and features, you can assess signs of illness and discover the underlying psychological and emotional issues affecting health.  Understanding the secrets of the facial map and the extraordinary meridians of the face leads to a comprehension of the secret and ancient Taoist inner alchemical practices, resulting in the possibility of rejuvenation and longevity

The Golden Path – The most ancient symbol of “Tao,” often translated as “the way,” shows a face running on a road. This implies that it is necessary to find out who you are, or find your original face and then discover what you are meant to do.  Then, you can make great strides in life by contributing something unique to the world. Finding your Golden Path brings out your talents and abilities and gives you a life of meaning and purpose through a process of uncovering clues from your past and formulating a plan for the future. It is about finding your soul and showing it to the world.   It is the epitomy of the human spirit put into action - enhancing health and happiness and leading to fulfillment.

5 Element Living - The ancient theory divides the energies of the world into vibrational families.  Everyone contains all five elements in varying degrees of strength and deficiency, allowing them to relate to the world through personal filters. Career, love, home and work environments, food preferences, communication styles, sexuality, favorite colors, fashion, even fun are all affected by a person’s elemental makeup.  Understanding the five element profile of your face, body type, personality, nutrition, relationships, lifestyle, work style and the Feng Shui of both personal and work environments helps you get your life in balance and allows for acceptance and comprehension of yourself and others.
