According to Feng Shui, a mirror and its location plays an important role in creating energy at home. In this case, the mirror not only reflects your state and mood, but also brings a special zest to the interior, making the surrounding space comfortable, cozy and harmonious. It can attract love, prosperity and good luck into the home, as well as eliminate negative energy.
The Chinese were sure that it was especially important that the full appearance of a person be reflected in the mirror, since the internal energy must be unified, because only in this way can you achieve your full creative and energetic potential. However, its effect on you and the surrounding space depends on where and how it is located.
Mirror in the toilet
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the toilet is considered the most unfavorable place in the house. This is where negative energy called Sha-Qi originates. So if the toilet is located next to the front door, then luck will always leak out of the apartment. A mirror hung on the outside of the toilet door symbolically “hides” it. It has the ability to magnify several times everything that is reflected in it. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully ensure that the mirror image contains what brings well-being and joy.
So if you place a mirror above the dining table, the amount of food and material wealth in your home will increase. It is important that the mirror does not reflect negative things, for example, dirty shoes or a trash can.
Best form
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, mirrors play a huge role in the process of home improvement. They are the ones who are able to control the movement of two energies: favorable (Qi) and negative (Sha), on which the health, well-being and relationships of everyone who lives under the same roof depend.
The mirror can have absolutely any shape: circle, oval, rectangle or square. But according to Chinese Feng Shui, the best form is considered to be those with rounded edges , thanks to which positive energy does not dissipate. And the frame edging the mirror will allow you to accumulate, multiply and fill any room with it as much as possible.
In addition, the house must certainly have at least one mirror in which the tallest member of the family is reflected in full height, and at the same time there is some space above his head, providing both physical and spiritual growth.
Bagua
The Bagua Mirror is a special feng shui symbol that has the most powerful power of reflection and neutralization of negative energy. It looks like a wooden octagon, in the center of which there is a reflective surface, surrounded by eight trigrams - the most ancient symbols of protection of absolutely all spheres of human life.
There are several types of such mirrors:
- precelestial (June), denoting a place in the house of the male owner;
- post-heavenly (Yang) – relating to the female mistress.
Bagua mirrors also differ in the shape of the lenses:
- concave – absorb negative energy;
- convex – reflect it;
- flat – have a neutral effect.
An important nuance is the location of such mirrors, since they can create a negative effect. For example, by hanging it towards a neighboring house, you can, as it were, redirect negative energy from your house to another.
It is necessary to place the Bagua mirror in such a way that it has a neutral reflection (nature or emptiness).
Mirror size
The teaching of Feng Shui states that the size of the mirror should be selected for a specific person. Do not forget that the viewer must be completely reflected in the mirror, and so that there is free space above the head (as a “growth reserve”). Avoid cutting off certain parts of the body in the reflection, as this can attract various types of diseases.
Recently, mirror tiles have become quite popular. However, Feng Shui does not recommend using it, since it itself “cuts” everyone who looks at it.
Preparatory stage
Before installing a mirror above the bathroom, it is important to understand all the intricacies of choosing the piece of furniture itself, as well as the features of its installation and surface preparation.
If you initially plan to install a large mirror mounted into the wall, then you must leave space for the product when laying the tiles. Accordingly, the mirror itself must be purchased in advance to determine the size of the recess. The surface allocated for the mirror panel must be perfectly level.
If the thickness of the tile together with the glue is large enough, then there is a risk of obtaining the effect of a recessed mirror. To avoid this effect, you need to attach special strips under the mirror that will allow you to adjust the installation level.
Mirror shape
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the shape of the mirror plays almost no role, because its main task is to “correct” and “reflect.” If we remember the origins, in ancient China the so-called Bagua mirror, which had an octagonal shape, was most often hung in houses. They were placed on a substrate marked with trigrams.
In itself, the Bagua mirror is an incredibly strong protective talisman that is able to direct negative currents towards its reflection, that is, in the direction where it is directed. Therefore, it is not recommended to hang it inside the house, because no matter how it is, the mirror will reflect what is included in it. However, in Feng Shui, a Ba Gua mirror is hung only as a protective measure against negative external influences.
By installing it on the outside of the house you will protect yourself from sharp roofs, corners, harmful street breath, and straight roads. But it is important to remember that everything reflected in the mirror is directed by its own energy, so check if the doors and windows of your neighbors are reflected in it. After all, in Feng Shui there is a rule that you can receive what is given in a multiply enhanced version.

In feng shui
mirrors have a special place.
After all, with the help of this object you can reflect, attract, visually increase or, conversely, reduce space. Feng Shui specialists work with mirrors
when it is necessary to redistribute the flow of positive energy, for example, in order to correct an undesirable layout of living spaces.
The surface of mirrors, according to Feng Shui, should be perfectly smooth, without engravings, inscriptions, scratches and other defects that distort the transmission of information. An incorrectly installed mirror can harm the inhabitants of the house.
You should be especially careful when handling Bagua mirrors, one of the most powerful Feng Shui talismans. Bagua mirrors are round in shape, framed by a ring of trigrams and can be flat, concave or convex. The purpose of such a mirror is to attract negative energy and hold it with the help of the forces of nature. Bagua mirrors come in early and late sky varieties. The latter is devoid of magical properties, but installed in such a way that the neighbors’ windows are reflected in it is considered an offensive gesture.
Feng Shui experts advise beginners who do not know how to properly handle the Bagua mirror
late sky, replace it with figures of a turtle or kirin (a deer with a dragon's head) - talismans that drive out evil spirits and negative energy.
There are also types of mirrors that bring only grief - these include those bought second-hand, as well as those accepted from relatives or friends. Both of them carry a very strong negative charge and do not bring good luck under any circumstances.
According to Feng Shui, positive Qi energy enters the house through the front door and is immediately attracted to the part of the house where there is running water. To prevent Qi from leaking into the bathroom, mirrors the size of which correspond to the size of the door are hung on the outside and inside of the door leading to the bathroom.
Attached to the outside of the bathtub or toilet, it will reflect the Qi energy, preventing it from escaping through the sewer pipes. Mirror placed inside the bathroom
room, will retain negative energy.
If the bathroom or toilet is located opposite the front door, it is strictly prohibited to equip these rooms with mirrors. This contradicts the basic rules of Feng Shui: do not install mirrors opposite the entrance to the home, so that the flows of beneficial energy entering through the front door are not reflected back.
But what if the bathroom is located opposite the front door
? Experts recommend hanging a small mirror on the door of the toilet or bathroom - inside and outside. One condition is that these mirrors must be located at the level of the belly of the head of the family.
Before you start arranging mirrors, you should familiarize yourself with the rules, according to which a mirror installed in the proper place will not only “smooth out” unwanted corners, but will also redirect the flow of Qi to those corners of the house where there is a lack of positive energy.
For example, if the kitchen is located opposite the front door, then most people visiting this house, upon crossing the threshold, will most likely go there. To ensure the presence of Qi in all rooms, a large and tall mirror is hung on the wall perpendicular to the front door. The mirror should reflect the corridor leading to other rooms.
The ideal option is when the hallway wall on which a large mirror
, forms a right angle with the wall where the main entrance to the home is located. In this case, the mirror will be able to multiply everything that is reflected in it.
As for the size of the mirror: each family member should be completely reflected in it, and there should be a small space above the head of the tallest member of the household, which symbolizes career growth and the opportunity to regularly replenish the family budget.
- When a mirror in the hallway
visually expands the room, positive Qi energy circulates freely throughout the house. Feng Shui experts also recommend, in order to create conditions more favorable for good energy, to hang mirrors on the walls of the hallway so that they do not reflect on each other.
- If you
hang another one in the It is important to remember: mirrors must be smooth and even, without decorative elements. It is better to avoid mirror tiles, which symbolize a cracked mirror.
- In the kitchen,
the presence of mirrors is permissible only in two places: where the dining table is reflected, and near the stove.
- If the living room
overlooks a picturesque, pleasing landscape, a mirror installed opposite the window will attract beauty into the house.
Using these simple rules for placing mirrors in the interior, do not forget about the main thing - they are able to reflect and symbolically double both good and bad. In addition, it is equally important to keep mirrors clean not only from the point of view of Feng Shui, but also from common sense.
- It’s quite difficult to arrange everything in the house according to Feng Shui, there are so many nuances. It's better to contact a specialist.
