<p>Dear Madam, Sir,</p>
<p>On behalf of Master Olga García I would like to invite you to participate in a Face Reading seminar on June 1st and 2nd in Barcelona. She will give an intensive seminar providing you with Face Reading skills you can apply in your day-to-day life. More about Master Olga on <a href="http://www.fengshuiartcenter.com">www.fengshuiartcenter.com</a>.</p>
<p>Learn to use the art of Face Reading (physiognomy) for insight into your personality. Learn to understand yourself, your loved ones and the people you are dealing with better. Knowing how to read a face provides insights into hidden personality, past history, current situation and future development.</p>
<p>Face Reading derived from China millennia ago and the Chinese know the face to be a reflection of the inner spirit. Face Reading:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is a systematic study of      face features.</li>
<li>It reveals personality and      can predict the future.</li>
<li>It can disclose the best and      worst moments as well as the strengths and weaknesses.</li>
</ul>
<p>This seminar will teach you about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Balance between the      spiritual and material.</li>
<li>Private and public life.</li>
<li>The 3 zones.</li>
<li>The 5 elements and the 5      basic face forms.</li>
<li>10 Face shapes, elements of      the 10 face shapes.</li>
<li>The personality of the 10      face shapes.</li>
<li>The 3 stages of life.</li>
<li>The 12 rooms, what every      space represents.</li>
<li>The yin and yang faces,      their shapes.</li>
<li>The 6 face features and      their meaning.</li>
<li>THEORY AND PRACTICAL      EXERCICES.</li>
</ul>

		<description><![CDATA[The influence of mountains on settlements of humans is well known in China. The embrace, size and shape are to be reckoned with. Its power is better put to good use, requiring the knowledge of a Feng Shui master to find a suitable block of land. In the old days Feng Shui masters would travel the country extensively in search of the best place to construct a palace, temple or city and its remnants can still be found today as they have survived the test of time. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Water is one of the most precious commodities for humans and without healthy clean water one cannot survive. The presence of water where Qi is collected can bring prosperity. Oceans, rivers, lakes, canals, ponds and pools all have a bigger or smaller impact. Using water beneficially requires knowledge of where to position an object in relation to water or where to put water in relation to the object. A Feng Shui consultant can be of assistance in locating the right spot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The colour of China’s flag is red. Red communism. It’s also a symbol for good luck. My hair is red. In Chinese weddings red is used to chase away bad luck and to bring happiness and joy to the couple. It represents the fire element, the South direction, the phoenix, it’s full yang, expansive and associated with summer. In Feng Shui it’s an old custom to pay for a Feng Shui audit by putting an amount, the customer thinks the consult has been worth, into the little red envelope. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Royal furniture demonstrates the wealth of the emperor. Plain interiors show country living. Luxurious lush decorations indicate today’s rich. The basics: bed, table, chair remain the same for all. Getting by with what one has and dreaming about materialistic upgrades is on many a mind. Happiness is defined by cherishing what one has, for wanting more can leave one dissatisfied. Freedom comes from within.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kids. Children. Little ones. Children are small and cute. Dressed colourful. Well behaved. Playing. At school. Curious. Toddlers don’t wear diapers; special pants regulate the drain of human waste. Kids are addicted to their phone, playing with autumn leaves or getting cuddled by daddy and in awe of aliens. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The use of Feng Shui knowledge in designing buildings is common practise in Asia. Originating in China the Feng Shui philosophy can be traced back thousands of years. Royal palaces, temples and villages have based the construction of the complexes on Feng Shui principles taking into account ideal orientation, position and size of Ming Tang and highlighting the importance of host buildings over guests. Historic (style) objects exist next to their modern counterpart.]]></description>
