Next time you see marketing or a social media post that turns up your FOMO, makes you feel “old,” and wonder if you need whatever an influencer is using/having/selling... please hit pause.
Now, let me introduce you to a concept called your Original Face — one of the most important concepts in ancient Taoism*. Your Original Face is not about how snatched your jawline is, how smooth or wrinkled your skin may be, nor is it about how your face looked when you were 18.
Your Original Face is probably the most important component of your beauty that you did not know about. You own 100% of your Original Face so you do not need to buy a product or procedure to have it. In other words, it is within you.
Your Original Face is bigger and deeper than your literal face. It is the energy, the spirit, the essence of who you are. We call this Jing in Chinese medicine. You were born with it so you own 100% of your Jing. It resides in your body and your health, wellness, beauty all grow from your Jing. In Chinese medicine, Jing is the most precious treasure.
Renowned face reader, Lillian Bridges describes it like “the sum total of all the ancestral gifts combined with Ling or Cosmic Qi, and is the precursor to the inherent spirit that resides within the body.” When you know your Original Face, “it allows you to follow your life’s purpose....your Golden Path.”
Ok, so next time you “feel old” I want you to start thinking about the power of your Original Face — your cosmic gifts, your heart’s fulfillment, your virtues. If you don’t know these things, let’s start
the process of connecting you to You. Knowing yourself is the first step toward embracing your Original Face.
