I love this article’s somewhat exasperated tone when discussing feng shui and mirrors. Basically what it is saying is that people who try to use mirrors don’t actually understand the theory behind the whole thing. Here’s my favourite quote: “Let me first start out with saying that 168 Feng Shui Advisors recommends the use of mirrors as a bathroom tool to comb your hair by. Beyond that, mirrors only serve a visual or artistic effect… Have you ever tried to reflect heat with a mirror, or perhaps x-rays? Mirrors only reflect light, a narrow area of the energetic spectrum. Chi, defined as “life energy”, flows around and through each of us, is not diverted by a four inch, eight edged mirror.”
As in- hello! Duh! Get with the Chi program, people!
