Product Description A complete, illustrated guide to the ancient tradition of reading the face to gain insight into health, personality, relationships, and career • Details how to read the profile, front face, features, and musculature of the face to reveal temperament, personality traits, health predispositions, and mental state • Explores the history and development of face morphology from its origins in Israel and Egypt more than 4,500 years ago to its modern use in French medical schools • Examines the Foursquare diagram, developed by French occultist Papus, for highly accurate and detailed facial readings The face is a unique reflection of our genetic, inherited inclinations as well as the effects that life, nature, and relationships have had upon us. By looking at a person’s face, you can gain valuable insight into their personality, health, and how they navigate in the world. In this illustrated guide, Jennifer Lamonica reveals the sacred tradition of face morphology, an esoteric system that has been passed quietly from rabbi to student as an unbroken oral tradition for more than 4,500 years. She explores the history and development of this ancient art from its origins in Israel and Egypt to its use as the major diagnostic system in Europe until the Enlightenment and its current applications in French medical schools. Sharing the techniques of master face readers, the author details how to read the angles of the profile, as well as palm color and nose shape, to determine a person’s temperament, providing health and career insight into each of the four temperaments, including nutritional needs, digestive issues, sleep patterns, health predispositions, and ideal occupational paths. Exploring the Foursquare diagram, developed by French occultist Papus, for highly accurate and detailed facial readings, she explains how to read the front face in combination with planetary shapes, which reveal a person’s character; the major facial features, such as eyebrows, which reveal personal inclinations; and the musculature of the face, including expressions, which reveals a person’s current mental state. Providing case studies, she examines how to apply face morphology in relationships and in parenting. Exploring the meaning of each facial variation, while also honoring the intuitive impression received at first glance, Lamonica reveals how the ancient science of face reading allows you to compassionately help your loved ones, students, or clients, as well as overcome personal obstacles and better know yourself. Review “Lamonica’s comprehensive work on morphology stands as a premier reference on the Western art and science of face reading. Her depth of study, fine skills of observation, and capacity to absorb, synthesize, and apply a vast amount of information shine forth throughout. The book speaks to clinicians across many fields of health as well as to the general public who hunger to know themselves. It is a book that will leave all richer for having read it.” ― Rachel Epstein, L.Ac., director of the American Institute for Mental Imagery “Jennifer Lamonica reveals the special messages of facial morphology that allow clinicians to better understand the stated and hidden needs of the patient before them. She brings to life the teachings of Dr. Gerald Epstein. I took his facial morphology class and am able to use what I learned to more easily ascertain a patient’s inner dynamics and the way these dynamics may intersect with their health. As an adolescent and young adult medicine specialist, I know this special text brings the gift of understanding to the next generation of healers.” ― Doris Pastore, M.D., professor of pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Hospital, “In the field of holistic practice, harmony among the body-mindspirit is the key to health and wellness. Identification of individual constitution, temperament, and other characteristics is important for the establishment of a therapeutic st
