Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 62 Reflection Sha (Residential Exposure to Direct Reflection from Opposite Building's Glass Curtain Wall)

Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui insights highlight that when a glass curtain wall, mirrored decoration, or smooth metal surface of an opposite building reflects sunlight directly into one's residence, creating intense glare, it is known as "Reflection Sha" or "Light Sha." This strong reflected light is a form of "light pollution" that can disrupt the indoor qi field and stimulate the visual and nervous systems. If the reflection directly hits core areas like the bedroom headboard or living room sofa, the impact will be even more severe. (Analysis from Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui column.)

Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan notes the main impacts include: Health Aspect — Restlessness, absent-mindedness, prone to insomnia and irritability, impaired vision, and can lead to neurasthenia in the long term. Strong reflections also increase the likelihood of accidents involving bloodshed. Emotional Aspect — Short temper, significant mood swings, increased family disputes, and disharmony within the household. Wealth Aspect — Unstable financial fortune, prone to sudden financial losses, and wealth qi being scattered by the glare.

Installing thick, opaque curtains on the inside of the affected window and keeping them closed daily is the most direct and effective way to block reflected light. This is a key recommendation from Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan. (One of Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's common home feng shui remedies.)

A bagua mirror (facing outwards), a convex mirror, or a calabash can be hung outside the window to reflect and absorb the light sha. Master Chan often advises these traditional cures. (One of Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's common home feng shui remedies.)

Placing tall, leafy broad-leaved plants on the windowsill allows their leaves to scatter and weaken the reflection, while also purifying the air and softening the qi field. This is a natural and aesthetically pleasing solution for home feng shui. (One of Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's common home feng shui remedies.)
