Better yet, ask yourself about the purpose of the room and be guided by that purpose according to the objects that you want placed and displayed there. Not so much perhaps from the point of view alone of aesthetics but on purpose, what it represents and the pleasant feelings and mood that particular object evokes. Because Feng shui is a skill earned over the years of fastidious study, what you should be looking in a Feng shui consultant is honesty and humility. As with everything else, the more a person knows about things, the more humble and better that person becomes knowing full well that there are myriad of mysteries that are still beyond grasps and many things that are to be improved and subtleties to be employed. To think that a good Feng shui life and guidance should start from a Feng shui consultant may to say the least, be taken with caution. This is where Feng shui life could start and draw its greatest effect. The Feng shui consultant that is about to lead you into the life of Feng shui should be above reproach and you could easily know this by the successes that have been accomplished before. To argue then that mirrors are Feng shui cures will have no firm foundation in Feng shui. Another issue that is advocated is that a mirror, no matter how thick it is never does not contain nor can it hold energy. Its main use is only to bounce a light. As this is a property of a mirror that is not controversial, let us hold this then a source by which a mirror could be used as an important aid in the practice of Feng shui. The practice then was to hand over the knowledge by word of mouth, from master to the student. Even with that, the practice of Feng shui continued and improved. One thing that it owes to is that Feng shui is intuitive in nature and is practical. While it has often been dismissed as superstition, a bull and a crap, by those who are against it, its longevity could be traced to the benefits of all those who applied its principles. Libraries are also best suited for this spot as well as stacks of books and objects that represent wisdom and knowledge. You can place objects here that are earth based. Symbols for renewal, rebirth, health and healing best displayed in the eastern portion of the house. This is also the best spot for furniture that encourages family gathering and reunions and pep talks.
