Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 17, 2002 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2002 Dear Sissie,In the Traditional Feng Shui practise of the use of mirrors:-1. If one seek consultation especially from say Western Traditional School of Feng Shui especially the majority of such schools in US or Canada, in my opinion, I believe, these practitioners would normally say that Ba Gua mirror or even mirrors are "hocus pocus."2. Therefore, I am aware that such schools say coming from the West, do not believe in the use of Ba Gua mirror(s). Even if the practitioners are Chinese (race). 3. But the distinction here is that although they are Chinese in origin, because of their cultural association i.e. they were born entirely or most of them in the West, they would not face the same circumstances as Chinese born in cultures strongly attached to `Religion'.4. For example, in Singapore, it is a common standard, as early as in the 40s and every subsequent decade or two; ba gua mirrors have been used in many locations: frontage of main doors of homes / offices / business.5. It is my belief that the first major association is with the concept of the use of such ba gua mirrors especially those with either the twin door gods added to it or the face of a keiloon or cat with a sword in it's mouth.6. Therefore, it's association with `protection' or to ward of evil is one of the major reasons for it's use.7. I speculate that later on, since it is commonly used to ward of evil, `why' not use it to deflect sha qi or absorb it i.e. with either concave or convex mirror in it.(For more details or pictures of the type and use of the various type of Feng Shui mirror, you can either do a search for it or go to the conference " Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures).Where, I had recently purchase the different types and added descriptions on their use.8. One key `academic' reason for the use of the Ba Gua (configuration) based on the First Heaven Sequence [ reference url: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm ] is that it symbolises the family unit.And as we know, a close knit family unit is symbolically a powerful tool.9. Again, if you approach any Western Feng Shui practitioner, they will entirely say " rubbish ". I am not here to argue on this. And, there is never a correct answer. Or no one can be absolutely right or wrong.10. Based on the above reasoning, it is in my opinion, a better option that you do not use a simple mirror but instead use the Ba Gua trigram based on the First Heaven Sequence Ba gua. 11. An alternative, is to place two potted plants on each side of the main door. If done, there is no need for a Ba Gua mirror.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 4/17/2002 12:52:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:I am having same problem with treefacing my front door, I placed a 3 by3inch mirror above door, to reflect,will this work, read conflicting info indifferent Feng Shui books one says finethe other says harmful..please help, andthank you for your advice...Sissie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
