Feng Shui simply means "wind and water". It is the ancient art of placement and has been practiced in China for over 7,000 years. Feng Shui is about understanding the secrets of how energy moves in our surroundings and how the style of our buildings and interiors affects us at a subtle level. Its purpose is to align the energies where we live and work in a balanced and harmonious way, thus creating a more healthy and positive environment.

There are many design consultants who use the principles of Feng Shui. Most, if not all, would be aware of the role mirrors can play in achieving a positive working environment. Some comments below:

"Mirrors are considered to be the ‘aspirin’ of Feng Shui. They draw in the positive energy, expand an area, reflect and strengthen an image, or allow energy to penetrate into closed spaces."

"Mirrors are used to activate, enhance and circulate Chi [life energy]. Uses include deflecting negative energy, and enlarging small, dark areas. They provide protection, re-route Chi, and amplify existing light."

"For a workspace that faces away from the entrance, adjust the desk or table to increase your view of the door or opening. If that's not possible, add a mirror to the wall or use a desk, or computer-mounted convex mirror, to give you a view of the entrance when you glance up from your work. A wall mirror will also open the workspace visually and reflect the motions in the space, adding a sense of energy."
