When communicating, people transmit only 7% of information through speech, and we read the rest from the non-verbal signals of the interlocutor - gestures, facial expressions, body movements. Svetlana Filatova, a psychologist, a specialist in reading such signals, combined scientific knowledge about the human body with the Chinese teachings about facial features and facial expressions. Now Svetlana is a recognized master of physiognomy and face reading. Only by looking at the interlocutor, she can describe not only his character, but also significant events in his life.
- Svetlana, as a psychologist - "minister of science", have you suddenly decided to start reading on faces?
- In the course of my work, I talked a lot with people, the more I noticed the patterns of similarity of characters and features of appearance, especially the face. With life experience such conclusions, I became more and more, and I began to study this, re-read Chinese authors and many others. Apparently, I had some kind of predisposition to this, as if I always intuitively understood that if the interlocutor has full lips, he probes me, as if he was scanning during a conversation.
- Physiognomy - is the face reading network more a science or a field of magic?
- Physiognomy is not recognized by science. This teaching is on the verge of extrasensory perception and several scientific disciplines: psychology, anthropology, anatomy. I would say that so far there is more magical knowledge than scientific knowledge, if only because the founders of physiognomy, the Chinese, are very categorical in their conclusions, conclusions and descriptions about facial features and their connection with character. And these conclusions cannot be explained in any way except by secret knowledge. That is, physiognomy works only with results, with ready-made conclusions, but it will not work to reveal the pattern, explain, disassemble into molecules. I myself sometimes do not believe in what I observe, and I consider it some kind of magic. here comes a client to me,I see a scar in her eyebrow area - which means that at the age of 30 she had a very serious decision in life or even a tragedy, and it turns out that at this age she divorced her husband. And there are very, very many such "coincidences", which means this is not a coincidence, but a pattern. But why is this happening? Nobody can explain.
- Svetlana, how do people react when they find out that you are an expert in reading faces? Were there ridicule and condemnation?
- Oh, they immediately start to fear that I will find out something about them. No one has ever condemned me for my hobby. There was no such thing. This, on the contrary, turns out to be in great demand. I am often called on television. They are asked to comment on the meetings of the heads of various political organizations. Because it is very informative, and when I realized this, I myself, frankly speaking, was scared: even put on a burqa - every person you meet can find out everything about you if they want to.
It's good that not everyone knows how to do this …
Promotional video:
- Yes, but intuitively, we still know how to calculate what a person has in his bosom, only to a lesser extent than sometimes we want. When I put a training video for my students, they say about 20 percent correctly about a person. This is true for everyone. In the course of evolution, humans have learned to understand what a person is by the way he speaks, waves his hands and moves his eyebrows. And in ancient China, a doctor had no right to touch a woman patient with his hands, therefore, over the centuries, the Chinese have developed a whole teaching of face reading, because their sensitivity to non-verbal signals is very high - on the verge of extrasensory perception.
Do you teach to read by faces?
- Yes. I have special educational groups.
Who comes to study with you?
- Most often these are realtors working with very expensive real estate. Their stakes are high - you can't lose a rare rich client, so sellers want to understand who the person is in front of him, what strategy to choose with him. On whom you can press, on whom you can not, who is compliant by nature, and who - only puts on a mask of "softness" and agrees with the seller for the sake of appearance.
Can all this be read on the face?
- Sure. Even if a person has changed some innate character traits, his natural qualities, those with which he was born are "written" on his face. And a good specialist can get to the bottom of the original trait of a person, and, using this or that strategy, "wake up", for example, the natural compliance of the interlocutor if he needs to achieve something from him.
- Is physiognomy related to astronomy and astrology? For example, all scorpions have similar noses … or does Mercury give “its” a special eye shape?
- Yes. There is. Planets, the influence of which was strong at the birth of a person, also affect his facial features. For example, Venus is responsible for lips. If she is strong in a person's natal chart, we have before us the owner of beautiful, full lips, and if Pluto was the main planet, the nose will be the brightest feature of the face. And its owner will be prone to mysticism, self-delusion, increased sensitivity. In addition, the elements that are embedded in us are reflected on our face. Not only Venus is responsible for the lip line, but also the Moon. True, people of the Moon will have a more blurred lip edge, and they love it differently than Venus's children. Venus is responsible for passionate love, bright, with pretensions, and People with the manifested Moon, who have more pronounced the element of water on their face, are adherents of soft, all-forgiving, motherly love. People have water - lips are full, their contours are blurred,facial features are soft, people of fire have pointed features, the earth will give the face a wide bone, a massive jaw, roundness, people of air have an elongated oval of the face, a short small nose.
- Svetlana, what does physiognomy say about the right choice of a partner …
- We are all suitable for people with opposite facial features: snub-nosed - people with straight noses, chubby - people with an oval face shape. We understand people with the same facial features as ours better, but you shouldn't create a marriage union with them, it will end in nothing anyway. Because the goal of any heterosexual relationship is personal development. The main thing is to choose a partner with facial features that you really like because of their differences from your appearance.
What is powerless physiognomy?
- The level of development cannot be read by the face. On the face you can read the qualities of character, what a person came into this world with, but how he used the gifts of nature - no. Therefore, you should not delude yourself that, having seen a person once, you can judge how smart he is.
What would you advise our readers as a face specialist?
- Smile more. Because the opposite effect also takes place. When we are happy, we smile, when we, for no reason, stretch the muscles of our face in a semblance of a smile, our hormonal system begins to release hormones of joy, the mood stabilizes, improves, and now we are already able to find solutions that we have not seen before. strength to act appears. Make it a rule to smile at first for 15-30 minutes every day, and then for an hour for no apparent reason - and your life will begin to change for the better!
