The following story was volunteered by one of our clients and tells a
tale of Feng Shui at work in her home town. Perhaps next time you visit
the shops, you'll see what Feng Shui is doing for their business!
Here's a little
story that happened in my town that I thought you might find interesting...
In a busy part of our town
there is a lovely Chinese Restaurant that has been run by the same family
for many years. It is directly opposite a slightly tatty pub that used
to be our local. The restaurant is well run, clean and has reliably
good food. For a long time the family kept applying to the Local Council
for a licence to operate a take-away service but were constantly turned
down. They tried to sell take-aways anyway, without a licence, and were
told of course to stop. After a few years of this the Restaurant owners
opened up a small Chinese store next door to their restaurant instead,
selling all varieties of food, lanterns and ornaments.
One day I went into the store
to buy a few things, and happened to notice lots of Bagua
mirrors hanging up in the window, as well as an assortment of Feng Shui 'ornaments'.
I started talking to the owner who explained that he did not know
anything about Feng Shui; he sold the mirrors because it was traditional
for such stores to sell them in his native Hong Kong. He had hung
them up in the window in all innocence, decorating the window.
A typical bagua
mirror - it's used to divert negative energy away from
one's property
Whilst passing the properties
over the months I noticed that, some time after opening the shop,
the owner was finally successful in his take-away licence application.
A while again after that we heard that the pub across the road,
which had been steadily deteriorating for some time, had been declared Bankrupt!
The pub is now under new ownership and has been completely refurbished
at some considerable cost. The restaurant and shop are still there
and open for business, bagua
mirrors too. I am waiting to see what
happens next...
