The Changing Face – The Fundamentals of Face Reading and Facial Diagnosis with Lillian Pearl Bridges

Date: 9am – 5pm, Saturday and Sunday February 7-8, 2015

Location: Marina Grande Social Room, 2650 Lake Shore Drive, Riviera Beach, Florida 33404

Author of “Facial Reading in Chinese Medicine” and popular teacher and speaker. Also featured on Dr. Oz and other TV shows.

Faces change over time, and wrinkles are not inevitable; they are specific signs as are rings of a tree. They record our life histories and feelings on the face. Some are signs of health, and are a blueprint of the functioning of the internal organs. Faces show personality traits, illness, emotions, and potential.

This two-day workshop will teach participants how to read the Facial Maps. They will come to understand what those wrinkles really mean, why they are there, and then how to clear some of them. They will be taught the fundamentals of Facial Diagnosis and will be given the ability to recognize markings and colors that are signs of health and illness. They will also be given the meanings of the shapes and sizes of features that reveal personality.

Reading faces is a great tool for health and business professionals of all kinds. It enhances interpersonal communication, and the understanding of others. Diagnosing from the face will give practitioners important health information that tests can validate. This entertaining and informative workshop will change the way you look at faces forever!

Two of his popular textbooks, The Practice of Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion and Integration of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine: Theory and Practice, have been translated into English.

What You Will Learn

Mr. Ikeda will spend the first day reviewing the foundation of Meridian Therapy and how it is used within Traditional Japanese Medicine. During this seminar you will learn the signs and symptoms as well as the diagnostic methods used to determine treatment methods for the different types of Lung Deficiency Syndrome. The practical sessions demonstrate Mr. Ikeda’s graceful, yet powerful, needling technique.
