Mirror at dining room

[Christina Ang]

Hi Cecil,
I heard one of my friend was saying that according to feng shui, if we =want to create good luck & ample food, we will have to double up a =mirror to reflect on the dining table & put some fruits accessories on =the table either it's real or dummies. The mirror would actually =reflect on the table & make double image.
For my house, just behind my dining table, there is a window. And just =opposite the dining table (a distance) there is a wall. Can I put my =mirror on that piece of wall to reflect on the table and if the mirror =reflect the dining table, it also reflect the window.
Pls. advise is it alright to do it that way.
Thanks.
Christina

Dear Sor Lan,
1. What you had mentioned is a popular practise by the Cantonese dialect group.
This popularity is based on the belief as what you had mentioned; that a mirror used in the hope that it can reflect `double' the luck.
2. We can (on a less scientific level) base it on feelings.
However, if one uses more scientific methods such as The Flying Star Fen g Shui, where one uses it to determine if a sector is auspicious or not. If it is inauspicious, then, it is strongly felt that one should not place a mirror at that sector or we may inadvertenly bounce back twice the bad luck.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee
