Cure For Ick

Feng Shui Part 3: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...

Have you been having fun with our easy Feng shui exercises? 

There are so many important and effective ways in which you can use Feng shui in your home or business.  The study of Feng shui is a lifelong endeavor.  Many books and videos are available to teach you some of the major principals of Feng shui .  Check Oconee County Library  for books or articles on the subject to get off to a good start on your studies.

I have another easy exercise for you to try.

Mirrors are an incredibly effective tool in Feng shu i.  Not only do mirrors serve us functionally in our homes, they can make us aware that our thoughts and actions are reflected back to us by others.  Also,  mirrors placed in our surroundings absorb or reflect positive and negative energy.

Because of their versatility when placed in specific areas, mirrors can “cure” issues within your home that you might have felt like were bothering you, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on the problem. 

Here’s a good example.  Our home is over 100-years-old and originally had no indoor bathroom.  Previous owners closed off one end of the traditional breeze way hall --a long hall with a door at both ends for air circulation-- and made a bathroom at one end.  This means when you come in the front door at the end of the hall you are looking directly at...(horrors)…THE TOILET!  Ick. 

When I had a local Feng shui master, Dr. Weicherng Pan, come out and evaluate our home, he noticed the toilet issue immediately and told me to shut the door and hang a mirror on or near the door.   In his heavy Thai accent he said, “All your good fortune going down de toilet!”  We laughed together at his animated description, but you had better believe I took his advice!  Dr. Pan has since passed away but he gave many Oconee residents valuable Feng shui advice over the years.

Here are some other things you should know about the power of mirrors in curing what ails your home:
