Transforming Trauma to Illuminate Your Destiny

All humans experience trauma during their lifetime. Through observation of facial markings and colors, the age and effect of the trauma becomes evident, and the interpretation of these signs allows one to understand the impact of trauma on the body, mind, and soul. The face also displays markings that indicate a person’s talents and abilities; their Ming (destiny). CT Holman shares how he utilizes Lillian Pearl Bridges’ powerful face reading lineage to clearly identify these indicators, guide a person through their trauma, and illuminate their destiny.

CT Holman is an international speaker who authored two textbooks, Treating Emotional Trauma with Chinese Medicine and Shamanism in Chinese Medicine. With over 20 years practicing Chinese medicine, he operates a busy general family practice in Salem, Oregon. He trained and taught with Lillian Pearl Bridges for several years and currently maintains the position as the Director of Development for the Lotus Institute of Lillian Bridges.

Daoist Design using the Five Elements and Face Reading

Daoist Design (Feng Shui as taught by Lillian Bridges) is Daoist magic. Using the Five Elements and Face Reading I help clients balance deficient elements and maximize dominant elements to bring increased harmony and health to them in their homes and businesses.

I studied with Lillian Bridges starting in 1994 and have been certified in Face Reading and Feng Shui for over 25 years. In 2012 Lillian and I developed the curriculum for the Master Face Reading Certification Program and Daoist Design program.  I served as an instructor and the Executive Director of The Lotus Institute until 2022. I am a founding member of the Face Reading Institute and Eastern Arts (FRIEA).  Currently I am teaching classes about the Five Elements, The Golden Path with Deirdre Courtney, and Aesthetic Feng Shui with Harrington Essentials and FRIEA. In my work, teachings, and face readings, I inspire people to understand the story their face tells, recognize their talents and abilities, and encourage them to manifest those gifts.

Freeing blocked emotions for Rejuvenation, Yang Sheng and living your Ming 

The “Emotional Map” frees blocked emotions, encourages health and longevity (Yang Sheng) and guides you to your destiny(Ming).  The wrinkles on the face result from the way emotions are expressed and can give you clues to what holds you back from your Ming.  Yang Sheng is about understanding what we need to nourish and support ourselves to help release blocked emotions.

Face Reading as a Coaching Tool

As an acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese medicine, I use facial reading as a diagnostic tool in my daily clinical work. Beside that I also have a large client group that comes to me for coaching sessions without receiving the acupuncture treatment. This customer group often has a feeling of being lost in life. Either they feel that life is at a standstill or they are faced with difficult choices that they want support with, in order to be able to see the situation more clearly and overcome the struggles.

Eva-Marie Janelo has been working on health and rehabilitation since 1994. She is a practitioner of Chinese medicine, certified Master Face Reader and a laser acupuncture expert. Eva-Marie is living with her wife Ina and their cat Shinto in Stockholm, Sweden where she works at her private clinic Neosoma, treating both humans and animals.

 
When Eva-Marie met Lillian for the first time in 2006, she did not understand the impact their meeting would have on her continued life. The knowledge Lillian imparted affected her deeply and from that day on she began to look at herself with completely new eyes. Lillian showed her all the beauty within herself that she had not been able to see before. She also made her understand that there is a potential within all of us, which is just waiting to blossom when we are ready for it. Lillian showed her that no dreams are impossible for us to achieve. But it is up to us to decide whether we should dare to capture the opportunities that exist within us.

Face Reading in Art Galleries, and for early signs of Alzheimer’s

Face Reading in Art Galleries, and for early signs of Alzheimer’s With such a wealth of wisdom and practical advice from Lillian, it is hard to pick a small representative subject, a mere fragment of what she has given me. I have chosen two apparently unrelated subjects, but you will see how they are related.
The first is the joy of going round a gallery and reading the faces of people who lived 300, 600 or even 1000 years ago. As you look at these people, who seem almost to be living, you get a much richer idea of the life lived at that time.

The second subject is Alzheimer’s disease, which often starts at the age of 60. If a person cannot make use of this momentous transition, they risk blocking their Jing. If this blockage combines with a need to obliterate the memory of a traumatic event, then Jing does not reach the brain and there is a high risk of Alzheimer’s. Some of these portraits painted many hundreds of years ago clearly show early signs of Alzheimer’’s.

Face Reading a Gateway to the Soul for Healing

The ancient Daoist face reading is an alchemical tool for transformation and healing which can still be used in the modern days of today. Through the emotional map, reflected in the lines and wrinkles of your face, you will find the gateway that opens up into the level of the soul. Where that deep connection can take place which will lead to soul healing and an in deep transformation for your client. You will be guided by your intuition as a practitioner
working from a Shen to Shen connected. This profound heart connection between patient and practitioner inside a sacred space will make face reading a very powerful instrument for transformational healing, more than you could ever imagine. As then the Shen can come forward again to shine from within, lighting up both one’s destiny, life purpose and rightful potential when Soul healing taking place. It will be my greatest pleasure to share the beautiful teachings and wisdom that I have learned from dearest Lillian with you at this event of celebrating Lillian’s life and legacy.

Lillian Bridges Online Tribute Day, September 11th 2022

My connection with Lillian was primarily through music. We organised concerts during Chinese medicine congresses in which we and others performed, showcasing the wealth of talent amongst the teachers and practitioners with minimal rehearsal and maximum enthusiasm. From Rothenburg in Germany to Slettestrand in Denmark, from London to Vancouver, we shared our passion for music. Blessed with her beautiful, clear voice and a natural performer’s charisma, Lillian sang jazz standards, Summertime, Over the Rainbow, All of Me, always lighting up the stage and touching hearts. For this event I will say a few words about this side of Lillian, show a video tribute and sing a song in her memory.
