According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a mirror isthe most universal means for cleansing a room from negative energy. The Chinese also use it when they need to change some aspect of life. However, in order for the talisman to work, it must be placed correctly and you must learn how to use it correctly. A mirror is a very powerful tool that can work both for good and for harm. Today we will talk about these aspects of the Feng Shui philosophy. We will tell you how to use a talisman mirror correctly to achieve the desired effect.
Bagua Mirror
The main purpose of this tool isreflect and correct. Its shape is not so important, it does not play a special role. However, the Chinese themselves prefer an octagonal mirror - bagua. As a rule, the bagua mirror is placed in a special painted lining, around which trigrams are depicted. It can be placed both inside and outside the building. The Chinese use the talisman exclusively to protect their home from negative forms. It should be noted that the bagua mirror is credited with very powerful protective properties. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to point it at the windows and houses of your neighbors, otherwise you can cause them irreparable harm. Before you risk using the bagua mirror from the outside of your house, you must clearly make sure that it does not reflect your neighbors' door or the windows of the opposing building. Otherwise, the mirror must be removed immediately. It is impossible to bring positive energy into your life if it harms other people. One should always keep in mind a simple truth - we attract to ourselves exactly what we give, and in an increased form. If we give good, it will definitely come back to us, if we bring evil, life will put us in a situation where negative energy will go around like a boomerang.
Properties of mirrors
Mirrors serve as the most important indoorvarious purposes. In the teachings of Feng Shui, they have the ability to reflect, attract and redistribute Qi energy. They can also correct the shape of the room, visually increasing the reflection of the non-existent Bagua zone and expanding the space. The corrective properties of mirrors can be seen in the following example. The nature of Qi energy is such that it is attracted to water and moves after the water. Therefore, it is not recommended to keep the doors of the bathroom and toilet open, otherwise all the positive energy and luck literally go down the drain. There is no better remedy than a large mirror the size of the door, which is hung on both sides of the bathroom door. In the first case, the mirror does not let the negative energy of the bathroom and toilet into our home, and in the second, the mirror reflects the Qi energy, preventing it from leaving the house. However, in Russian conditions, a situation often occurs when the toilet is located directly opposite the front door or the door leading to another room. Remember, a mirror opposite the front door, especially if it is large, is contraindicated! It will simply reflect the Qi energy back to the street. In this case, the best option would be a small mirror hung on the outside and inside of the toilet door. Such a mirror should be at the level of the navel of the main member of your family. Feng Shui experts note the positive effect of this remedy. The rule applies to all doors in the house. A mirror opposite the door will reflect all the good that tries to penetrate the room. This technique should be used exclusively for protective purposes. Visually, a mirror helps to increase the space surrounding a person. This optical Feng Shui technique can only be used if you sincerely believe in its effect. Never use mirror tiles in your home - they symbolically cut into pieces everything that is reflected in it, including people. Thus, a person and his environment are “destroyed”. The optimal size of the mirror should be such that all family members are reflected in it entirely - from head to toe. It is even better if there is a little space above the head intended for potential growth.
The rules for placing mirrors in different parts of the house
Never place a mirror opposite windows ordoors, otherwise the beneficial energy of Qi will not linger in your home, it will be carried away back to the street as if by a draft. And along with it, the success and well-being of your family will fly away. It is not recommended to hang it in the bedroom either. If you simply need it, then try to do everything so that it in no way reflects the bed and the people sleeping on it. A mirror in the bedroom draws out a lot of energy and has a very negative effect on human health and relationships. You can significantly improve the atmosphere in the house by correctly placing a mirror in the hallway. A small and cramped hallway immediately works to limit the family's resources. A person should not, when opening the door, find himself in a nook where it is impossible to turn around. The hallway should be spacious and filled with light. In order to optically expand this space, you need the help of a mirror placed according to Feng Shui. It is best to place the talisman on the side of the door - on the left side. It is acceptable to use mirrors in the living room. If you are the lucky owner of a beautiful landscape outside your window, hang a mirror on the wall adjacent to the window so that the street is reflected in it at an angle. You should not hang a mirror opposite the stove. Otherwise, the hostess will experience extreme fatigue while cooking. The best option is to hang it opposite the table at which all family members gather. The mirror will double the amount of food and increase the wealth of your family. We have already talked about the fact that mirrors in Feng Shui philosophy are able to redistribute energy in space, directing its flow in the necessary direction. Example: your kitchen is located opposite the front door, and the corridor leading to the living rooms and the living room goes to the right. With this arrangement of rooms, hang a large mirror on the left wall adjacent to the front door so that the corridor leading to the living room is reflected in it. In this way, you can redirect the flow of Qi energy towards the living rooms.
Security, first of all
Each mirror is the bearer of a double of thata person who is constantly reflected in it. In fact, the mirror in which we regularly look is our double, our second self. A part of our soul involuntarily remains in it. For this reason, it is harmful to place this piece of furniture in the bedroom, especially opposite the bed. The soul of a person seems to leave him along with strength and health. A broken mirror also brings negative energy into the house, since the soul of a person flies into pieces along with it. However, trouble can be avoided here. Feng Shui offers one surefire way: carefully collect the fragments, rinse them thoroughly under running water and take them to the trash. Water washes away information about a person. Never try to glue a broken mirror and do not use a mirror with a crack, throw it away without pity. Mirrors should be regularly wiped and washed, since they collect various information from the surrounding space, including negative information. Negative information becomes a kind of battery that causes a sad mood, scandals and quarrels. Even if your mirror is placed according to all the rules of Feng Shui, but there is a layer of dust on it, it becomes a source of troubles and poisons the lives of all family members.
