I'm new at this so bear with me. What is the significance of mirrors in different rooms of the house. I wish to bring prosperity into my boyfriends home. Someone said to hang a mirror in the kitchen. Is this true???

Dear Yvonne,
Feng Shui is a holistic approach. The two major schools of Feng Shui are used to look at a home.
The two major Schools are:
1. Shapes and Form
2. Compass Schools: The Eight House Theory
The Flying Star Theory
You have to ask yourself this question " I want to install many mirrors because I geniunely liked them or is it because I have heard that `mirrors' are beneificial ".
If it is `hearsay' information that mirrors are good for Feng Shui to bring Prosperity, then, it may not be the case.
The cause for concern is `over-eating'. Even in Feng Shui, we should not try to add more than necessary.
Logically speaking, a mirror serves a purpose i.e. to look at our image. Or if you have one side of the wall, and you need to `create' space or an illusion of it (in relation to interior decor) usually would be fine.
It is not a good idea to place mirrors just to gain `prosperity'.
I have mentioned that, Feng Shui is a holistic approach. It is no point, looking or concentrating on one aspect.. hoping and hoping... for a miracle to occur once we place a mirror at point X (if there are problem areas that need more urgent fixing).
Thus, a holistic approach to Feng Shui is:
1. Do not "over-eat" or "over-indulge" in enhancers such as placing too many mirrors.
2. One is not going to have a "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui just because, of placing a mirror at a wall.
3. It would not to adviseable to hang a mirror in the kitchen although some FS practitoners had advised on this - as it does not serve any purpose.
Regards,
Cecil
