EASY MIRROR RITUALS
to remove obstacles, bring happiness, attract wealth
by Lillian Too
The potency of MIRRORS in creating powerful good fortune auras and auric fields has been a well guarded dimension of feng shui practice for a very long time - perhaps a couple of thousand years - and even the Masters who know how to activate good fortune using mirror rituals admit they have only limited knowledge of their use. I have been investigating the use of mirrors in Spiritual and Divination practice for several years now, and I started experimenting with mirrors after I was fortunate enough to come across a treatise on the advice given to Princess Wen Cheng by her father the Tang Emperor just before she set out on her journey West to marry the King of Tibet, Songsten Gampo.

Tese mirrors were made of a brass or copper alloy with one side polished to a high gloss that one could see one’s image reflected on the surface.

And when the mirror is held up to reflect any kind of light, like magic it would create a glowing image or pattern on the wall. Usually this image would be a magnified image of the image etched at the back of the mirror. Tis would very often be the image of Buddha and then those watching would meditate on the giant image reflected on the wall. It is said that doing meditation like this would bring the meditator all his heart desired... Westerners have since traced this phenomenon to the time of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC to 27 AD) and
