Mirrors, Windchimes and Crystals- What!?!?!?!? - by: Jane Kifer

When some people hear we are becoming Feng Shui masters, they say," Isn't that about a bunch of mirrors and stuff?" - Uh, sort of? and not really? In honor of sticking with what I have learned and know as opposed to trying to share the breadth of what I have No idea about! One thing I have learned is, your bed should essentially have eyesight of the door, if it does not, hanging a mirror on the opposite wall so that you can see the door from your bed is a great choice to make! Oval is better in this case than corners) And if your back is to the front door when you are at the stove, hanging a little wind chime above your head is a good choice. Now WHY?! is a great question. Traditionally for safety, you need to see the door for your safety, if someone is entering . In terms of your bed, for obvious reasons, but in terms of the stove- If the door opened and your back was to it and you didn't see or hear someone entering, all that wind that flies in when the door is opened will blow the fire bigger and splatter the oil you are cooking in your face. So when the door is opened and the wind blows through, the chime will ring a little to warn you and allow you to be aware for your safety. That is the 18,000 year old thinking. So essentially these adjustments of the chime and mirror, are to make you less vulnerable and put you in a more commanding and secure positioning for your welfare.
