"One of the best and strongest ways to raise the chi in a home is to simply use mirrors. Obviously, there are all different shapes and sizes of mirrors that you can use. In this part of Jason and Michelle's apartment, I want to be able to show how we're going to bring the outside into their home. What I'm going to do is just place a mirror here, and it's going to reflect a window that is on the opposite wall. So from a certain perspective you'll be able to see the trees, and the plants, and the life force that's outside is being brought into the room. That's relevant to them because they wanted to work on wealth, and increasing their wealth, and plants obviously represent growth and abundance. Having this one mirror here might look a little strange, so you might want to get a bigger mirror or a different shape, or you could pull in another mirror and make it a collection. So depending on how you arrange them or how many you have, or what shapes they are, it can make an art piece on its own just by having a collection of mirrors. Jason and Michelle already have a very large mirror in their apartment, and it?s set up beautifully in their home. What this mirror does is expand the space. Your eye is looking further than the wall because of the mirror, so in our perception level it is increasing the space, and making it look bigger. If it were an even smaller apartment, it would raise the chi to an even greater level because creating space and openness gives more room for the energy to move around. That's another great use of a mirror, and how to raise the chi in your home."
