Mirrors symbolize water and increase the space element. They reflect, deflect, expand, invert,reverse, absorb, and even dissipate subtle energies.

They are placed at strategic locations to achieve a desired result in life .

Ideally, mirrors should go on the north and east walls of your home or office to expand the life supporting energy coming from those directions. Mirrors can keep the energy flowing on walls.

Be careful where you place mirrors, since placing them incorrectly will create distorted and conflicting patterns of energy that disturb the harmony in your home. Be sure to de-clutter your space first, since mirrors magnify clutter. continue

Understanding

Fengshui

Feng Shui is the Chinese art of creating harmonious environment inside a building structure. ‘Feng’ pronounced as ‘Foong’ means wind and ‘Shui ‘pronounced ‘Shway’ means water.

Feng Shui claims that every human comes under the influence of three types of luck namely

1. Heaven luck: luck you are born with that is the influence of stars and planets on your destiny or retribution or reward you receive for the deeds of your past life. This type of luck is very difficult to change
2. Earth luck: luck you draw from the places you live and work in. this part of the trinity of luck is the easiest to correct and can be totally turned in your favour.
3. Mankind luck: luck you draw by really working hard with devotion and dedication that is your karma. This is a general assumption that each person would do his best.

With Feng Shui it is possible to improve and enhance ‘Earth Luck’ and ‘Mankind Luck’ to a great proportion so that shortcomings of’ Heaven Luck’ is compensated and an individual can enjoy a happy and prosperous life

In Feng Shui Earth and Heaven are important factors in creation. Heaven is male and Earth is female. The Interaction between them creates wind and water. Wind (Feng) and Water (Shui) create CHI the bio force of universal life force.

Yin and Yang

Heaven is referred as Yang and earth is referred as Yin.

yang and yin

As seen in the picture above the Yin and Yang merge into each other depicting that there is no absolute male or female energy. Yin follows Yang and Yang follows Yin in uniform nature. Their interaction creates CHI – the life force.

To understand feng shui it is important to understand CHI is a universal life force. It is a form of energy that can be equated Tao of physics or Prana of Hindus or Bio Plasma /Bio-force of the west. Chi is a energy form that engulfs the universe, it creates, sustains and destroys . It is chi that makes life possible everything we do from birth till death, every activity we perform metal or physical is because of Chi.

Chi has two aspects positive and negative and it changes form from one into another compare it to fire that generates heat energy in positive form it comforts us but in negative form it destroys us.

Chi is created with interaction of yin and yang.

Depending on the balance between yin and yang the Chi can be positive

The Good Chi

• North – Nourishing Chi
• South- Vigorous Chi
• East – Stimulating Chi
• West- Warming Chi
• North East- Flourishing Chi
• South East- Expansive Chi
• North West- Creative Chi
• South West – Soothing Chi

If yin and yang are out of balance the Chi becomes destructive

The Bad Chi

• North – depleting
• South- lifeless
• East – listless
• West- unpredictable
• North East- Stagnant
• South East- destructive
• North West- Strained Relations
• South West – Restless

Feng Shui is concerned in creating environment inside a building structure where maximum Good Chi is generated and Bad Chi is difused  so the occupants live a life of happiness and prosperity.

Water is helpful when things have been stuck for a while (think of ice melting), and for improving communication. It is also associated with cash flow and opportunities. Wood energy is associated with new beginnings,and it can help you make smooth progress in the projects you undertake.Fire creates heat and action, and is the energy to use when you want to increase passion and intensity in any area of your life. Earth energy is good when things are chaotic and you need more stability, or if your are dealing with issues of commitment, nurturing, or receptivity.

Each element is associated with specific shapes and colors:

Metal—white, gold, silver, grey; round and oval shapes, arches
