This is what you think about what thing in your lifea woman considers the most necessary? Most of us can hardly imagine our lives without a mirror. As Mayakovsky would say, a woman and a mirror are twin sisters! In addition, various legends and signs have always been associated with mirrors. No fairy tale or mystical story can do without a mirror. So in the Eastern philosophical teaching of Feng Shui, the mirror is given an important role. And, as you know, Feng Shui is a teaching about the rules of harmonizing your own living space. Well, who among us does not want to live in a harmonious environment? That is why many try to adhere to the rules of Feng Shui, arranging their home and choosing interior items. A mirror is no exception, especially if it is in the bedroom, the place where a person spends a third of his life. So what is the attitude of Feng Shui to mirrors? What is their role in our lives? Is there a place for a mirror in the bedroom, and if so, what exactly? Let's try to figure it out.
Magic mirrors on feng shui
Let's first figure out what role in lifepeople are assigned to mirrors by Feng Shui masters? In general, Feng Shui favors mirrors and welcomes their presence in the house. However, with a number of reservations. The main property of a mirror is to reflect. So you need to make this magical object reflect the flows of negative and positive energy in such a way that it will only benefit the inhabitants of the house. Therefore, Feng Shui has developed a number of rules according to which a mirror should have a positive effect on the house and its residents. It is believed that every house must have a mirror large enough for a person to be fully reflected in it. According to the followers of Feng Shui, the reflection of individual parts of the body does not give a person the opportunity to evaluate himself as a whole. And it is difficult to disagree with this. After all, in fact, others perceive our image in full growth, and not just the face, legs or torso. Therefore, a full-length mirror reflection allows a person not only to see himself as others see him, but also to generate and reflect his unified inner strength. It is especially important that the mirror reflection leaves free space above the crown of a person's head. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, this provides opportunities for spiritual, financial and career growth. As for other reflections in mirrors, these should only be pleasing to the eye objects and images that initially carry positive energy. And it is even better to buy Feng Shui talismans and place or hang them opposite the mirror. Then the power of the talismans will be multiplied by their mirror reflection. As for the location of the mirror in the house, Feng Shui allows its presence in any room in the house, but not in the bedroom. Feng Shui masters impose the strictest taboo on the mirror in the bedroom. And there are clear explanations for this.
The ban on the mirror in the bedroom
As you already understood, the main magicthe ability of a mirror to reflect and multiply the power of the reflected. So, if a mirror in the kitchen reflects the table at which family meals take place, this will increase the family's wealth. A mirror hanging in the bathroom gives a person the opportunity to see his reflection in the morning and restore harmony between the physical and spiritual principles. It would seem that this rule should also apply to the bedroom. But no! The fact is that in this room a person spends most of his time in a state of sleep. And at this time, as the Chinese teaching of Feng Shui claims, a person gets rid of unfavorable Qi energy. Reflected by mirrors, this energy doubles, which leads to very undesirable consequences. An excess of Qi energy can provoke quarrels between people who sleep in this room. At first, such an effect will begin to manifest itself in minor disagreements and misunderstandings, and eventually it can result in real hatred. Therefore, a mirror in the marital bedroom is considered a kind of catalyst for family quarrels and discord. If the mirror is in a bedroom where only one person lives, the unfavorable Qi energy will gradually undermine the mental balance of this person. In addition, bad energy, amplified by a mirror reflection, can make a person vulnerable to illnesses and disrupt the harmony between the physical and spiritual principles. There is another reason for the ban on a mirror in the bedroom. Reflecting in a mirror, a couple ceases to be a couple. Thus, people break the tandem, multiplied in the mirror reflection, and seem to give each other the green light for adultery. That is, they seem to program themselves for the appearance in their own lives of other participants in their love union. Nevertheless, a strict taboo according to Feng Shui and established secular traditions can easily come to a compromise. That is, the ban of the ancient teaching can be easily circumvented: place a mirror in the bedroom, but avoid negative consequences. How to do it?
Mirror in the bedroom
It was not us who came up with the idea that any rule has its ownexceptions. And if you really want something, but it is not allowed, then you can still. And so it is here. If you absolutely must have a mirror in your bedroom, but you are afraid to break the laws of Feng Shui, then just find a compromise. The main thing you need to start from in solving this problem is that a mirror reflects and multiplies the negative energy emanating from a sleeping person. And the key word here is “sleeping”! That is, you just need to place the mirror so that sleeping people are not reflected in it! That is, you can put a mirror on a dressing table, hang it on a wardrobe door or even on the wall, but with one condition. The bed and the person (people) in it should not be visible in the mirror under any circumstances. Or let's say it differently. While in bed, you should not see your reflection in the mirror. And if you are a follower of the teachings of Feng Shui, then you will have to give up, first of all, a mirrored ceiling in the bedroom. The second taboo is mirrored cabinet doors. However, if the cabinet is positioned so that the bed is not reflected in it, then feel free to equip it with mirrored doors. Another option for neutralizing the mirror's ability to reflect and multiply bad energy is to simply curtain it or fence it off from the bed at night. In fact, this has a rational grain not only from the point of view of Feng Shui, but also from modern science. Psychotherapists believe that a mirror glass flickering in the darkness of the night can cause stress in a person who suddenly wakes up. You know that at night, even without a mirror, you can see anything, and in a mirror reflection, nightmares generally appear, causing shock and numbness. It is from this point of view that mirrors are contraindicated in a child's bedroom. But, as we have already said, the ban applies only to those mirrors in which sleeping people are reflected. So, having the opportunity to place a mirror so that it is not visible from the bed, do not refuse this traditional piece of furniture for the bedroom. After all, everyone knows another very valuable property of a mirror - to visually expand a room. By the way, this technique is welcomed not only in interior design, but also in the teaching of Feng Shui itself.
Helpful Tips
