Year of the Pig Forecast by Lillian Pearl Bridges
Sarah Fields and I (Chris Jacobs) have both studied the face reading techniques of the amazing Lillian Bridges. Her teaching style is that of a storyteller. Decoding to face can tell us some much about what a person has been through in their lives. I highly recommend checking her work out. Each year Lillian Bridges releases a prediction for the coming Chinese New Year. These predictions are based on Chinese 5 element theory. We have been blown away by her incredible accuracy. Each year is a different element and when combined with the energy of the animal we can expect certain outcomes. 2018 was year of the Earth Dog. The first year the energy is contracting after 4 years of expansion. 2019 the year of the Earth Pig means we will be eating good and maybe getting a little bit less done. Be easy on yourself this year. Rest, Recharge and Nourish yourself.
