A Few Precautions

MIRRORS
Mirrors are among the most useful remedies, but they must be used in the proper
location for mirrors. Never use square mirror tiles that adhere to walls – they break
up images and are considered unhealthy. Never hang a PaKua mirror inside your
home. It must be on the outside of a window or door to deflect poison arrows.
Keep them away from your bed and out of your bedroom altogether, if possible.
Keep them in good repair – if they are old, they may need to be re-silvered so that
the reflected image doesn’t show the mirror’s flaws. Never have mirrors hung to
where they are too low and cut your head off or you cannot see your head.

DRIED FLOWERS
Dried flowers and arrangements are very unhealthy to have in your environment.
They are dead, and consequently have that meaning wherever they are placed. Use
fresh flowers (but keep the water fresh and dispose of when they start to wilt) or
silk flowers instead. Scented potpourri is dried flowers and should not be used in
the home.

WATER
Water can be very beneficial, but it can also be detrimental if it is placed in the
wrong area. Be sure to follow the tips in this book.
Any dripping water from faucets, drains, roofs, etc., will drain your resources.
Water problems should be fixed immediately, as they are very detrimental to your
financial health.

LIGHT
Burned-out light bulbs should always be replaced immediately, as they are very
detrimental to healthy ch’i. It is a good idea to keep replacement bulbs on hand so
that you are never “without light”!
Our ancestors had a natural feeling for the principles of feng shui,
when you consider the following sayings:
“Cleanliness is next to godliness”
“A stitch in time saves nine”
“Waste not, want not”
