Who uses Mien Shiang?
We all do, all the time. For instance&#8230;

when you changed seats because the well-groomed man next to you had narrow, mean eyes,
when you chose the employer with the easy smile over the other who had a tight, thin mouth,

As we age our face changes. We get wrinkles and lines, dark spots and shadings. And though we tend to resent them, these signs of experience are good because they are recording our chronological passages of life. They are visual proof that we have been feeling the [...]]]></description>

In Mien Shiang, the face is divided into three sections, or zones. Each zone has a defining characteristic of mental, practical, or emotional, as well as a Taoist association of Heaven, Human or Earth:

Zone 1, the top part of the face, is the Mental Zone.

 From LA Tribe, June 2001
What&#8217;s in a Face? You&#8217;ve probably never heard of Mien Shiang before, but chances are you&#8217;ve used it without knowing it. If you&#8217;ve ever trusted someone because they had a kind face, or heeded your mother&#8217;s warning about a stranger with &#8220;eyes too close together,&#8221; then you&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the original purposes for a Mien Shiang Institute eNewsletter was to answer questions that come up with regularity from a wide spectrum of students, clients and friends. A familiar question popped up last week while I was in Belize with my beautiful new ‘sisters’ of the Belizean Grove.

 Natural Health Magazine, January 2004
Is the State of Your Health — and Your Inner Self — Written all Over Your Face?
