How to position a mirror in feng shui?
In order to attract prosperity, happiness and prosperity into your life, you should adhere to the advice given by feng shui experts. Each item has its own special place, thanks to which the right energy will be in the house. Where should the mirror be located? The answer to this question is already waiting for you in our material.
A magical attribute or a decorative item?
Every house has a mirror, and we are so used to this object that we no longer attach much importance to it. In our modern time, many treat it only as a decorative item. We only use it to fix our hair, do make-up or just admire ourselves in a particular outfit. Previously, a mirror was considered not a simple object, but partly even a magical one. And they treated this subject with special trepidation and great caution.
Think of Christmas or other fortune-telling, in which you must have a mirror in the house. This amazing subject helps to see the future, helps to find answers to many difficult questions. In addition, at all times it was believed that this unusual decor element is able to store all information about its owner. That is why many categorically do not want to purchase antique mirrors or those that were inherited from their ancestors.
This mysterious item remembers all the events that took place in the house. And since events are not always joyful and positive, the mirror is able to store negative, and then emit it and thereby harm its new owner.
Whether a mirror can be considered a magical attribute or is it worth treating it only as a home decor item - it's up to you. But esotericists and feng shui experts still agree that this subject should be treated with great caution. After all, it, like any other object, has its own special energy.
Energy of mirrors
We are accustomed to the presence of mirrors in every apartment, in every house, and we don’t even think that they have a special energy. By the way, the energy of each item affects the general atmosphere in the house, and much depends on where exactly this or that item is located.
Feng Shui experts firmly believe that mirrors are special attributes that are capable of not only reflecting energy, but also attracting it. In addition, the energy of this object is capable of having both a negative and a positive effect on the atmosphere of the room where it is located. The energy of mirrors is sometimes so strong that it is even capable of redistributing energy flows in space and changing the general energy of a room. That is why this item can cause many troubles and misfortunes that occur in the house. On the other hand, it is thanks to the mirror that joyful events can begin to occur.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, all life energy, which can bring only the best things to our lives, enters the home through the front door. Therefore, if a mirror is located opposite the door, then the energy will be reflected and leave the house.
Where to locate?
So, as you already understood, mirrors should not be placed in front of the front door, as this will have a very negative effect on the energy of the house and will directly affect all the events taking place in it. So where is it better to place a feng shui mirror so that it attracts prosperity, happiness, joy and prosperity to the house?
The most convenient place for a mirror is in the hallway. After all, it is so convenient when, before leaving for work or for a walk, you can once again look at your reflection and make sure that everything is in order with your clothes and hair. In addition, thanks to the large mirror, you can visually increase the space if the hallway is too small. In Feng Shui, you can hang it in any place convenient for you, but not in front of the front door.
As for the mirror itself, it is best to choose a large one so that the person is fully reflected in it. It is quite possible that the corridor itself or the doors of other rooms are reflected in it.
Perhaps not so often you can find a mirror in the kitchen. But nevertheless, feng shui experts strongly recommend getting such an item in the kitchen, especially if the kitchen in the house is combined with the dining room. The fact is that it is feng shui cuisine that is a symbol of material well-being and prosperity. The best place for a mirror is on the wall opposite the dining table. Each time you set the table, put different dishes on it, you will see the reflection of the entire table. This means that your wealth, well-being and abundance will increase.
You cannot hang this item in the kitchen in front of a gas stove or work table. If you cook in front of the mirror, then the hostess in life will have too much trouble, fuss and even problems.
The living room is a great place to decorate its interior with a large mirror in a beautiful and expensive frame. As a rule, the living room is exactly the room that unites all family members. It is in it that all evenings, holidays are held and dear guests are met. This means that the room has a spiritual, warm and positive energy. If you hang a mirror in this room correctly, then joy, tranquility and happiness will not only be preserved in the house, but will also increase. Ideally, you can hang the mirror so that a picture with a beautiful and calm plot is reflected in it. Or arrange it so that a beautiful vase on a shelf is reflected, or a houseplant.
In the event that a beautiful view of the park or forest opens from the living room window, then you can hang the mirror in such a way that the beautiful landscape is reflected in it. Before hanging this decor item on this or that wall of the room, see what exactly will be reflected in it.
After all, a mirror is such an object that is capable of reflecting and multiplying what is reflected in it. That is why it is very important that these are objects that carry positive energy.
Hanging an object such as a mirror in a bedroom should be done with great care. In general, feng shui experts agree that it would be better if he was not in the bedroom at all. It is very bad when such an object hangs in front of the bed, and as a result, the sleeping person is reflected in it. This can negatively affect the relationship between spouses and health in general. Also, don't place it over the head of your bed.
Therefore, if there is an urgent need for a mirror in the bedroom, then you need to hang it in such a way that the bed does not reflect in it in any way. The ideal option for such a room is a comfortable and compact dressing table that can be closed at night, thereby protecting yourself from the negative effects of the mirror.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a bathroom is the very room in which any energy, including positive energy, disappears. Having a mirror in the bathroom is very convenient and practical. The main thing is to hang it correctly. For example, you can hang it on the inside of a door. It is very important, however, that the bathroom door is always closed. You can also hang a mirror over the sink, but don't hang it in front of the bathtub.
In the event that you have a combined bathroom, then the mirror should not hang in front of the toilet, this is very bad. In a separate toilet, it is also better to refuse such items.
Helpful hints
If you correctly hang this popular decor item in a particular room, then you can easily attract positive energy into your home and into your life, attracting good luck and prosperity. Finally, we have some helpful tips that will definitely help you choose the right place for your mirror in your home.
- If you decide to place this item in front of the window, then you need to be as careful as possible. Above, we said that this can be done if a beautiful landscape is reflected in the mirror. But if from the window you can see another house, factory, vacant lot or just the sky, then it is better to abandon this idea and place the mirror in another part of the room, for example, at the entrance.
- In no case should mirrors be placed opposite each other. Thus, you will create a mirrored corridor, and this can have a very negative effect not only on the general atmosphere of the home, but also on the health of all members of your family.
- As you already know, only those objects that are capable of carrying positive energy should be reflected in this object. It is impossible for something negative to be reflected in the mirror. For example, a piece of a wall with a crack, a mess, peeled wallpaper, a torn curtain, etc. Remember that any negative mirror can double or even triple, and in order to neutralize it, you need not only to hang the object correctly, but also to maintain order near him. It is also very important to regularly keep the mirror itself clean. If it becomes covered with spots and dust, then all this will negatively affect the general atmosphere in the house. In such a house, frequent conflicts, problems and illnesses can arise. Therefore, you should not be lazy and often clean the mirrors, thereby ridding your home of negativity.
- Candles have a very good effect on the energy in the house. Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, then you can install a couple of candles next to the mirror so that they are reflected in it. But you should not install various feng shui talismans in front of or next to the mirrors.
- When choosing a mirror, pay attention to those options that have a frame.Thanks to the frame, positive energy will be better concentrated in it. As for the shape of the object itself, it is better to give preference to options with rounded edges. That is, it must be round or oval. If you like square options, then choose those whose frame does not have sharp corners.
- In the event that a crack, chip or large scratch appears on the mirror, then such an object must be urgently disposed of. Before taking it to the trash heap, you need to rinse the mirror or its fragments with running water, thereby washing off all information about yourself and your family members, and then, after putting it in a bag, throw it away.
