FENG SHUI is used to balance the energies in your home and environment, but these theories can also be applied to everything around you and on your person, including your face! From the shape of your face, to the relationship between your facial features, to the attributes of each individual feature, balance is very important. If your face is balanced, then your whole life is more balanced and it is easier for you to experience good luck. A balanced face creates a better first impression, thus increasing your chances of finding a good job, doing well in your career, and establishing satisfying, stable relationships.
When determining balance, the face is first divided into thirds horizontally. The first third is the forehead to the eyebrows, which represents the childhood through young adult years. The eyebrows through the tip of the nose is the middle third, representing the young adult through middle-age years; and the upper lip to the chin is the last third, representing the senior years. By examining the specifics within each third, a master can tell something about the energies a person contains and give a general impression of what each of these age groupings will bring. Ideally, the three sections are of equal proportion - balanced. If one of them is bigger or smaller than the other, there is imbalance.
Balance as it pertains to the main features is also relevant. Different eye shapes, lip shapes, nose shapes and so on all correspond to one of each of the 5 elements: wood, water, metal, fire, and earth. If from your birth chart it is determined that you lack wood, and your eyes are a shape that is more of the wood element, then that helps to balance your personal energy. If you should need another element for balance, you can enhance the shape of your eyes, eyebrows, or nose so that it embodies the elemental quality you need.
One of the simpler ways to adjust the feng shui of your appearance is with your hair. You have multiple options of choosing a hairstyle or hair color. Since each hair type, shape, and color corresponds to one of the 5 elements, make sure that the style and color you choose are compatible with your birth date and help to balance your energy. You can also balance the energy of your facial appearance by wearing a hat or hair accessories in the colors or shapes of the different elements. Earrings are a simple way to balance the energy of the features by adding a color or type of metal or stone that is compatible to you.
Applying make up and other face altering techniques is another way to bring balance to an unbalanced face. This includes cosmetics, powders, massage, facials, laser techniques, nutrition, surgery and so on. Particularly in the case of cosmetic surgery or laser technology, be sure to check out that the procedure you decide to do alters your face in a compatible, positive way according to your birth chart, and that the doctor or technician is highly skilled and can produce natural looking results.
Of utmost importance is whether your face and features are shining. In this case, I do not mean the physical shininess of oily or sweaty skin; I am referring to the glow that positive energy gives off - your aura - which is a reflection of the energy inside of you. Pink, blue and golden auras are a reflection of positive, balanced energy in a person. Because similar frequencies are attracted to each other, if your aura is shining bright, then shining, positive people come to you and bring you happiness and wealth, so keep shining!
The best way to keep your aura bright is to cultivate your internal energy with appropriate exercise, meditation, nutrition, and good feng shui. Consistent practice of these methods will bring the glow of well-being from the inside to the outside.
