The magical power of mirrors according to Feng Shui

The Chinese attach particular importance to mirrors. It must be said that the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire, having learned in ancient times the power of energy that nature gives, were able to put together their knowledge into a coherent system, giving it the name Feng Shui. As legends tell, this happened back in the 21st-20th century BC, in the Chinese province of Kwailin during the reign of the Chinese dynasty and the emperors of the Xia dynasty.

In those distant times, only emperors could have mirrors, and they endowed their owners with unprecedented power, making them conductors between two Worlds.

“In order to change something, you need to turn to the mirror for help” - this is what the Chinese sages say.

In accordance with the laws of Feng Shui, the Chinese believe that a mirror can double the power of things reflected in it, attract missing energy into the home or reflect unwanted energy. And they used this power of mirrors in all cases of life.

In Hong Kong, for example, “mirror wars” even took place. After all, if you direct a mirror towards a neighbor, it can cause energetic destruction to him, but if you put a larger “reflecting” mirror opposite the “destroying” mirror, then you can return the negative energy back, and even increasing the power of its energetic destruction.

Things got to the point where the government had to ban such symbolic “mirror wars.” But even today on many doors in Hong Kong you can see the Bagua mirror - a sort of all-powerful remedy for destructive energies..

The teaching of Feng Shui sees in a mirror such a serious attribute that can change both the home itself and the fate of its inhabitants, which gives completely accurate recommendations on where and how to install: according to Feng Shui, a mirror is a magnet that can attract positive, and negative energy.

Feng Shui about mirrors in our home

A mirror has long become a common and necessary item in our homes. We hang it in the hallway and bathroom, living room and kitchen. Sometimes we don't even notice them . But, according to Feng Shui, they can play a very important role in our lives.

. The degree of influence it has on us and our family members depends on how the mirror is located, what shape or size it has, whether it will bring benefit or, on the contrary, become a source of trouble.

Mirrors, according to the Chinese, have the ability to absolutely amazingly correct the space around us and attract the necessary energy.

The size of the mirror is very important in Feng Shui

.
An apartment or house must certainly have at least one large mirror of full human height. Such a reflection, according to Feng Shui experts, is very important, showing the entirety of not only the reflection itself, but also concentrating the energy potential of the reflected one .
In no case should the upper part of the mirror cut off part of the reflection’s head; on the contrary, a free area should be reflected above the head for further “growth”. All mirrors in the house must be framed so that energy does not go into space aimlessly. Mirrors must be constantly cleaned and dust must not be allowed to settle on them.

You also need to pay attention to what exactly will be reflected in the mirror - there is no point in multiplying what is unimportant. In order for the vital energy of Qi to bring prosperity to the house, only everything that pleases the eye should be reflected in the mirror.

According to Feng Shui, the vital energy Qi loves to move smoothly around the entire house in a circle; it should not encounter any obstacles. Therefore, mirrors must be positioned so that they help this movement.

It is very good if the mirror is located on the outside of the door to the toilet or - then it will not allow the Chi energy to go uselessly down the drain

Dining room and mirrors according to Feng Shui

The dining room is also included in the scope of Feng Shui. The Qi energy must be able to move within this room without restrictions. If the dining room and living room are combined in one room, then it must be zoned so that the living room area is separated from the dining room area. Various lattice partitions and mirrors can help with this.

Feng Shui welcomes the presence of a mirror in the dining room. It is believed that thanks to them a favorable atmosphere is created in the dining room, vital energy Qi flows freely. The dining room should create the impression of spaciousness and comfortable lighting. And thanks to mirrors, you can improve these favorable qualities of the room.

Mirrors in the dining room create a feeling of increased space and enhance the illumination of the room.

It may seem unusual to us, but the Chinese generally advise hanging mirrors in the dining room in such a way that the mirror reflects the table at which meals are being held. According to Feng Shui, this doubles the amount of food on the table, which means you will not be tormented by hunger. The reflection of a set table should lure wealth into the family.

According to Feng Shui, a woman who periodically sees herself in the mirror while eating will eat half as much food and this will help her become slim.

We must always remember that mirrors in the house are not only its decoration, but also a source of well-being. Therefore, never keep a cracked or broken mirror at home. By caring for the mirrors in our home, we can attract and retain the life-giving force of Qi energy in it.

Did you know that an ordinary mirror placed in any position in your home can help you or, on the contrary, harm you, that is why the Feng Shui mirror is placed with special care exactly how, you will find out by reading this article to the end and learn do it right.

Feng Shui mirror

To begin with, it should be noted that any dressing table, mirror or mirror is in fact a special and mysterious object, and not just part of the interior of your home or an auxiliary element of a hygienic nature. After all, you must agree that it has a large number of different properties such as:

First, reflection; - secondly, attraction; - thirdly, recreating the missing space; - fourthly, creating the illusion of large space; - fifthly, it is capable of redistributing Qi flows.

As you can see, this item has many mysterious and even mysterious sides, thanks to which you, as well as with the help of the power of positive thinking, can significantly improve your life and set it up for positivity and well-being, you just have to learn how to properly place a mirror in your home.

Feng Shui mirror placement

As we noted earlier, describing all the properties of this extraordinary item, it can visually expand any space, complement it and change the shape of any room, but to achieve all this, interior designers rarely turn to feng fui. If the mirror is placed according to Feng Shui, then in this case it may serve as a corrective tool. For example, Qi energy always moves towards the water and then flows away with it, so if you often have a bathroom or toilet open, all the luck simply flows along with the water into the sewer, so that this does not happen, it’s good to make a mirror door, like from the outside and from the inside of the bathroom. In this case, you will not only be able to prevent the leakage of Qi from your home, but also not allow negative energy from the bathtub and toilet into your home.

It is believed that a well-arranged hallway according to Feng Shui does not have a mirror hanging opposite the front door, since this object will simply reflect the Qi entering from the outside and return it to the street. In order to correctly redistribute positive energy in space and direct the flow of Qi in the right direction, it is necessary, taking into account all the nuances of the location of your home, to correctly place the mirror. For example, in your apartment the kitchen is located immediately opposite the front door, and to the right of the entrance there is a corridor that leads to the rooms. Most likely, with this arrangement, all the guests immediately go to the kitchen, and do not follow, as you would like, to the living room. The same thing happens with Chi energy; upon entering the house, it goes to the first convenient room, not wanting to meander around the apartment. To change its trajectory, you should make a mirror of the part of the wall on the left, which is perpendicular to the wall with the entrance, so that the corridor leading deeper into the home is reflected in it. This way you will be able to redirect the necessary energy towards all rooms.

As for the bedroom, here this object should in no case be located opposite the bed and not reflect sleeping people. It is believed that if it reflects a sleeping married couple, then soon outside sexual partners will begin to interfere in their relationship.

To ensure that there is always wealth in your home, and even double it, you should hang a larger mirror in the kitchen or dining room so that the table with food is fully reflected in it.

The presence of this object in the living room is also available, it is especially good if it hangs on the wall adjacent to the window and reflects the street landscape in it. But you should not resort to such a technique if a not very beautiful picture opens from your window, in this case you risk attracting negativity into the house; it would be better if such a mirror reflects a bookcase, on the shelf of which there are many interesting books, including books about positive thinking.

Feng Shui mirror shape and size

It is not recommended to use mirror tiles in the interior, because they cut through any reflections of people and rooms and thereby violate the integrity. It is best that the mirrors are larger and can reflect a person at full height, and they should be placed in such a way that in the reflections above people there is still a little space above the head, this is necessary for the so-called potential growth. If the heads or lower parts of the body are not completely visible in the reflections, then all this can lead to illness.

In Feng Shui, there is a special Bagu mirror, which is a powerful protective tool; such a thing is a straight, concave or convex surface surrounded by a special ring of early sky trigrams. The essence of this remedy is that Baku attracts any negative objects and securely holds them using the forces of nature. Favorable animals such as Kirina or a turtle also have similar properties; in addition, they are able to protect the house from various kinds of negativity, spirits, and so on.

To summarize all that has been said, we can highlight several basic rules that will help you correctly place such important and necessary items as mirrors in the interior of any room.

1. You must always remember that you cannot hang mirrors opposite the entrance doors and windows.

2. The mirror should be of such a size that the most important member of your family can be fully reflected in it.

3. It is unacceptable to place a dressing table, mirrored dressing tables, mirrors opposite the bed, and it is also undesirable to make a mirrored ceiling in the bedroom so that there are no reflections of a sleeping couple anywhere.

5. It is required to place mirror surfaces only in such a way that they reflect pleasant, beautiful and positive things, just like the positive video “Laughter lifts your spirits.”

6. The bagu mirror should be placed so that it is not directed at neighbors or positive places.

A mirror is one of the most mysterious objects. Knowing how to place mirrors in your apartment, you can create the necessary optical illusions

to attract attention, expand the space, fill the room with the maximum amount of light.
Mirror surfaces are the first assistants in matters of “enlarging” a room
. Even a small hallway will seem larger if you hang a wide mirror on the side of the front door. The surface of a wardrobe door is also suitable for this purpose. You will learn about other special capabilities of mirrors very soon.

How to place mirrors in your apartment to make the most of the potential hidden in these mysterious objects? Our ancestors used them not only to look at their reflection before leaving home, but also as part of various rituals. The history of the appearance and production of the first mirrors is an interesting event

Unfavorable places

The incorrect location of mirror surfaces in the home can not only disrupt the energy balance and harmony, but also lead to more serious consequences in the form of poor health, financial instability and deterioration of family relationships.

Often people do not even realize that most of their problems are related precisely to the incorrect placement of mirror surfaces in the house. And no matter how hard they try, they will not be resolved until the mirror takes the most optimal place.

Having discovered that it is in the forbidden zone, you should immediately rehang it, after wiping it well.

Across from the window

Since windows are another “entrance” for positive Qi energy into the house , mirrors cannot be placed opposite them. The reason for this is the “reincarnation” of the mirror surface into an obstacle that reflects Qi outward, preventing it from entering the home. While the negative attracts as if with a magnet, intensively spreading throughout all other rooms.

Almost all surfaces in the house that can reflect something have similar properties.

Feng Shui recommends minimizing the use of such interior elements or carefully monitoring their placement and what they “mirror.”

On the toilet door

As you know, it is permissible to place a mirror on the toilet door, but only if it is small and does not reflect the toilet. In other cases (in particular, when the reflective surface is located opposite the toilet), all the positive energy will go straight into the sewer, taking with it well-being and prosperity. But all the “negativity” will come out.

Facing another mirror surface

An endless mirror corridor, created by reflecting one surface in another, is the most powerful “devourer” of positive energy, leaving not a drop of it in the house. Moreover, such “formations” in a home can cause panic attacks, depression and other mental disorders in its inhabitants. That is why it is strictly unacceptable to place even small sections of mirrors opposite each other .

Opposite the bed

The mirror surface in which a sleeping person is reflected is a powerful conductor of various energies, against which he is defenseless. Therefore, you should not risk violating the mystery of sleep with any energetic influence. Moreover, if a mirror reflects a married couple, it acts as a “third party” in their relationship, causing betrayal, quarrels, discord and can lead to separation, no matter how strong the marriage is.

If it is impossible to remove the reflective surface from the sleeping area, it is worth covering it with a thick cloth at night, covering the entire area.

In front of the front door

Mirror surfaces opposite the front door prevent positive Qi from entering the home. When she encounters an obstacle, she bounces off it and instantly leaves the house. While the unnecessary Sha freely penetrates inside, spreading throughout all the rooms and filling the space.

Some historical facts

The first surfaces of platinum and gold polished to a shine were found by archaeologists - back in the Bronze Age, people used them as mini-mirrors. A more modern version is associated with the monk John Peckham, who learned to coat glass with a layer of tin. His invention was worse than modern mirrors in apartment interiors, because the concave elements distorted the reflection

Flat mirrors are an invention of the 16th century. The crystal purity and transparency of the mirror sheet was so beautiful that even the Queen of France bought 119 mirrors for her office! One of them is now kept in the Louvre as the most expensive in the world, because its frame is covered with precious stones, and the glass itself is decorated with onyx and agate. royally beautiful frames in a modern apartment design with mirrors

, decorated with gilding or carvings.

Various mirroring functions

How to place mirrors in an apartment is a secondary question. First you need to determine what function these items will perform in your home. Many people, on a subconscious level, consider mirror surfaces to be peculiar holes in the wall that illusorily expand the space

, resembling doors and windows.

The first function of mirror objects in an apartment is to reflect the appearance of its inhabitants, so that they can appreciate it by looking at themselves from the outside. Young people use this function with pleasure, because without a mirror in the apartment it would be extremely difficult to take a full-length photo of yourself. The second function concerns the relationship of its surface to the water element. This connection is used when choosing the location of mirrors according to Feng Shui

in the apartment.

Where is the best place to install mirrors?

Before placing mirrors in the apartment, you need to determine for what purpose and in what room you have chosen them. Usually one large mirror in a one-room apartment is enough. Its height must be at least a meter. If you decorate a room with it, the size of the mirror canvas may vary both up and down.

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, you need to install a mirror in your apartment in those areas where the energy expansion of the space

.
This could be a place with excellent energy or a housing plot that lacks space. Experts in this field suggest where and how to hang a mirror. Here are some tips

Place it opposite the dining table so that your family meals are reflected in the mirror surface. This technique will increase the wealth in the house
- there will always be an abundance of delicious food;
Make sure that the location of the mirror in the apartment coincides with the location of other positive objects and things that have good energy. It’s good if paintings, figurines, vases and other similar objects are reflected in it;
You need to place mirrors in the apartment at a level that will be above your head. If there are taller people in your family, use their height as a guide. By constantly bending over to see your reflection, you will only see yourself in an unattractive way. In addition, there has been a connection between this position of the mirror and an increase in headaches.

As you can see, the location of mirror objects

plays a bigger role than their shape, so try to take these recommendations into account and place mirrors in your apartment for the benefit of yourself and the energy of your home.

Types of mirror facades and methods of attaching mirrors to the cabinet

When purchasing a mirrored wardrobe for your bedroom, pay attention to the design of the facade. The doors can be:

Whole. The mirror is mounted on top of the main monolithic door plate. Double-layer construction is thicker and heavier than usual;
Slotted. The reflector is inserted into a special shaped slot in the sash. The door remains single-layer. Weight does not change significantly;
Prefabricated. The facade is constructed from figured parts of various shapes. They are connected to each other using thin profiles. These can be elements of mirrors with different textures (colored, tinted, patterned) or their combination with the main material. Maybe in one or two layers. Rollers should be selected based on the total weight;
Framework. The entire sash along the contour is crimped with metal profiles, ensuring rigidity. It has a decorative appearance and a long service life. The door is resistant to deflections and deformations. Using profiles made of plastic or aluminum will reduce weight.

It is important how the mirrors are secured:

Double sided tape. A dubious option and the heavy mirror sheet will soon fall off;
Liquid silicone. The door is degreased. Silicone is deposited along the amalgam in vertical strips with small increments. Then you press everything against the bar and under a medium load for a day. The strength is high, but over time it can slide down. Can be combined with double-sided tape;
Liquid nails and construction adhesives. It's better not to use it. They ruin the amalgam. The surface will turn black. If absolutely necessary, select special compositions for glass;
Bottom stops. These tabs are screwed to the front door, and a mirror is placed on them. “Ear” type canopies are mounted on top. A very reliable method, but there will be a small gap between the door and the glass. This thickens the door;
Mounting pendants. The reflector will have to be drilled. Feather or arrow-shaped drills for ceramics (glass) are suitable. A hole with a radius of up to 6 mm is quite enough. It is important to clearly mark the location of the canopies, which are attached to the screws screwed into the sash. The most reliable way. But if the calculation is poor, the pendants can be visible. However, this is a problem with most types of fasteners (corners, glass holders).

Where should you not place reflective surfaces?

Our favorite mirror reflects not only our beauty. It can harm your health

, take away prosperity if you neglect the tips described in Feng Shui.
Firstly, do not keep cracked or broken mirrors in your house, because they can store negative energy and bring it into your life. Secondly, remember where and how to hang a mirror
:

To have a good rest, do not place a dressing table or other mirrored objects opposite the place where you sleep - this will cause unnecessary psychological stress
;
According to feng shui experts, the reflection of a sleeping couple will lead to the fading of feelings. In general, it is better to refrain from even the desire to buy a mirrored wardrobe for the bedroom if you plan to place it opposite the bed;
Hanging any mirror opposite the entrance to the apartment is wrong. It is believed that the reflection of the entrance doors makes you leave the house with all the benefits that you have. On the contrary, favorable Qi energy needs to be preserved and accumulated inside your home, making sure that only the “right” things
. The same applies to the display of windows - try to prevent them from getting caught in the reflections in the trellis;
To make the housewife less tired in the kitchen, do not place even small mirrors in front of her. Experts also advise not to use mirror tiles in the interior, so as not to “break” your happiness into pieces,
Don't install mirrors in corners or too close to the floor, and avoid having your image cut into pieces.

Successful shapes of mirrors

In Feng Shui, the mirror plays an important role in home decoration. Harmony in the family, health and well-being of residents are achieved through positive flows of Qi. They must be powerful and penetrate every point and room of the home.

If all the conditions for energy circulation are met, any troubles, misfortunes and lack of money will bypass the house, and illnesses and health problems can be forgotten. An atmosphere of calm and harmony will reign in the apartment.

The choice of shape is unlimited. The item may have a square, oval or rectangular configuration. However, round-shaped models without sharp corners are more preferable, since they are able to accumulate the maximum amount of positive energy.

The oval plane reflects Qi, but does not allow it to dissipate. Streams circulate along a round surface, accumulating their force. The presence of a frame on the mirror is welcome, since the border will act as a barrier that will allow any energy to be sealed inside the surface.

A good option is a piece of furniture in the shape of the Sun. Such an item will help a room of even a large area to be saturated with Qi energy.

Mirror tour of the rooms of the house

In the hallway you will definitely want to evaluate your appearance, so install a beautiful large mirror

close to the exit from the house. It should be at least half your height in height.

For the kitchen, mirror surfaces do not carry a functional load, so here you can completely do without them. You won't fix your hair or apply makeup while cooking. As an exception, you can create a small reflective area on the wall in the dining area, and other mirror techniques can be used in the kitchen only to increase space.

In the toilet and bathroom, as in rooms related to the water element, mirrored objects will always be appropriate. You need to place mirrors in the apartment so that you like your reflection, but do not bother you. It all depends on the character of the person and his attitude towards himself. It is better to buy special products for the bathroom

, which relate more to the plumbing section than to decor. Such mirrors will resist moisture well due to the protective layer on the glass. Choose models with light green or green on the back, but not with purple on the back.

In the living room and bedroom it is better to do without the effect of space reflection

. If in the bedroom you want to be able to see your reflection in order to perform cosmetic procedures, make sure that the bed is not visible in the mirror. This item has the ability to absorb the energy of a sleeping person.

How to place mirrors in an apartment - according to the teachings of Feng Shui or according to your own feelings - is an individual decision. The main thing is that you feel that when you come to the house, you want to be in it, and that everything is good and safe in the family. Try to do everything to increase this comfort

A mirror is a very important part in the interior of an apartment and its location is very important not only on a practical level, but also on an energetic level. By hanging a mirror incorrectly, you can attract illness and trouble into your home, worsen your health and well-being, so before deciding where to place the mirror, you need to learn a few important rules.

If you hang a mirror opposite the window, then favorable energy will leave the apartment through it; it can take your well-being and success with it. Also, do not hang mirrors opposite the front door. All favorable, vital energy that will try to enter the house will be immediately reflected and returned back. And when you leave, all the energy that provides comfort and a good atmosphere in the apartment will leave with you. The owners will feel tired and unwell all the time. In addition, this can attract strangers, unwanted guests to your apartment, because when entering the apartment you see your reflection in the mirror out of the corner of your eye and subconsciously associate this with the presence of a stranger in the apartment.

You can hang a mirror on the side of the front door or on an adjacent wall. The hallway symbolizes the resources and wealth of the family. The larger it is, the greater the resources, so if the hallway is small, then it is better to hang a large mirror that will visually enlarge its space. It is also very good if other rooms are reflected in the hallway mirror. This helps positive energy go there.

Do not hang mirrors in the bedroom, at the head of the bed, and under no circumstances use mirrored ceilings in this room. People should not be able to see themselves sitting or lying in bed. When you sleep, you get rid of all the negativity accumulated during the day, and a reflective surface can interfere with this. Also, if the mirror reflects people sleeping on the bed, this can ruin their personal relationships. If you absolutely cannot refuse a mirror in the bedroom, then hang it in a place where the bed will not be in its field of vision.

There is no need to hang a mirror opposite the stove: in this case, the housewife will be twice as tired. But you can hang a large mirror next to the dining table so that it reflects everything that is on it. This way you see all your food in double quantity, and this will increase your wealth.

The mirror should not reflect things that carry negative energy - garbage, some kind of rubbish, dirty shoes. The mirror reflects it and redirects it throughout the space of the room.

Keep your mirrors clean. They have the ability to collect negative information, so it needs to be washed off more often.

If you happen to break a mirror, don't worry. Wash the fragments with cold water, thus washing away all information about the people ever reflected in it, and everything will be fine.

In everyday life, a mirror is a common household item for most people. In magic it is considered a portal to other worlds, and in feng shui this element of the interior is an accumulator of subtle energies. What the mirror 'sees'

", then it absorbs into itself.

Sometimes this is fraught with negative consequences. It is believed that you cannot swear, be sad or cry in front of a mirror, otherwise everything that is reflected in it will be returned back with interest.

A mirror in a luxurious frame can become a real interior decoration

The best places for mirrors

Following the rules of Feng Shui, mirrors can be hung in the following places:

The bedroom is not the best place to place a mirror. However, you can hang it in such a way that it does not reflect the reflection of sleeping people, because this may have a negative impact on their health. It is also forbidden for the intimate moments of a married couple’s life to be reflected in the mirror, because this can affect personal relationships and lead to discord.

Mirror in the bedroom

The hallway is one of the best places in the house where you should definitely place a mirror. However, it must be placed correctly in interior design. It is through the hallway that positive energy enters the house, and with it the well-being and well-being of the family. Therefore, the mirror needs to be hung in such a way that it visually increases the area of the room, but it should not be hung so that the front door is reflected in it. Otherwise, all the positivity entering the apartment from the outside will go into the mirror and dissolve in it without a trace or be reflected and leave the room.

Large mirror in the hallway

Kitchen. In the dining room or kitchen, it is best to hang a mirror so that it reflects the dining table where the whole family gathers. This simple rule will help to increase the wealth of home owners many times over. But it is not recommended to hang a mirror in front of the kitchen stove under any circumstances, because this will make the housewife more tired during the cooking process.

Mirror in the dining room

Bathroom. Two small round mirrors should be hung on the entrance door to the bathroom - one outside and the other inside the bathroom. It is believed that such placement of mirrors can prevent the neutralization of positive Qi energy, which can escape with water into the toilet and bathtub.
Living room. In the hall or living room, it is best to place a mirror in such a way that it reflects beautiful decorative elements - paintings, vases with flowers, beautiful figurines or family amulets. In this case, the power of the mirror will double the positive energy of beautiful things and bring prosperity to the house.

Beautiful things should be reflected in the mirror

Mirror shape

Feng Shui experts say that the shape of the mirror does not matter at all. That is, you can use round, oval, rectangular or square mirrors.

Round mirrors not only look harmonious in the interior, but also double the positive energy

There are also mirrors in the shape of a triangle or a drop. Depending on the style of the interior, they can also be used, but it is still better to choose mirrors with slightly rounded edges. If you bought a mirror, but its shape doesn’t suit you in any way, you can decorate the frame yourself using various materials.

You can make a decorative frame for a mirror with your own hands

At the same time, you should refrain from using angular, irregularly shaped mirrors with sharp corners in the form of spikes or a sharp break in lines in interior design. It is believed that this form of mirror can bring an atmosphere of irritation, anger and aggression into the room.

The Bagua mirror, framed by a wide octagonal frame with esoteric trigrams printed on it, has extremely strong positive energy. It is the Bagua mirror that can protect a person’s home from evil spirits and the influence of evil spirits.

The Bagua Mirror has strong energy

However, such a mirror must be hung on the outside of the door in such a way that it does not reflect neighboring doors or windows. Therefore, the Bagua mirror can only be hung on the doors of a detached country house, but it is absolutely not suitable for city apartments located on a standard staircase.

According to feng shui

Before we talk about the correct placement of mirrors, we should talk about their impact on space and people and how to avoid the negative impact of reflective surfaces. What you need to know about mirrors?

A clean mirror
is the key to the health and success of the residents of the house. Try to monitor the condition of the mirror, because your face is reflected in it every day. If the reflection is sullied and blurred, it can negatively affect the aura.
Mirrors with chips
have no place in the house. Why do mirrors break? There is an opinion that when the information field of a mirror is overcrowded, its surface cracks. Of course, most often it cannot burst on its own. If the mirror is touched, dropped, or something is thrown at it and a crack appears, then this is not an accident. The mirror has absorbed so much energy that it begins to go beyond its boundaries, which is why such situations occur. If you break a mirror, you need to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
You should not keep old mirrors in the house
. They “saw” a lot of events and absorbed a lot of emotions. It is not advisable to be around them all the time. If you don’t want to part with a family heirloom, then it is recommended to hang it with black, white or green fabric. Better yet, change the frame of that antique piece, this will keep the negative energy inside the mirror.
Always look in the mirror in a good mood
, then it will give the same positive emotions that you give it.
You should not use mirror tiles
or large mirrors consisting of several particles in the interior of your home. Such a piece of furniture is equivalent to a broken mirror.
It’s good if there is a large mirror in the house that completely reflects the tallest member of the family
. Mirrors that are too small cut and weaken a person’s energy.

How to protect yourself from negativity?

If you believe in the signs associated with mirrors and do not want to bring trouble to your home, strictly adhere to the following rules:

take care of the correct placement of mirrors in the house;
choose a strong mount;
Carefully take care of this decorative element: promptly wipe off dust and make sure that the frame remains in good condition.

What to do if the mirror is cracked? Simply throwing it in the trash is not enough. Pre-rinse it with clean water to wash away the energy in your home. Better yet, bury the cracked mirror where no one can find it.

How to hang it correctly

The correct placement of mirrors in the apartment will help achieve harmony in the space and attract positive energy.

Before talking about the rules for arranging mirrors, you must remember that a mirror cannot be hung opposite another mirror. If they are located opposite each other, then a mirror corridor will be created in the space. This threatens to stop the movement of energy in the house.

Hallway

It is better to hang a mirror in the hallway on the side of the door.

You cannot place it opposite the entrance - it will send all the energy coming from outside back.

It is also not recommended to hang it on the front door itself. If it hangs on the side of the door, it performs a very important function - it visually expands the space. This is a big plus for small hallways. The house begins with the front door, and if next to it it is dark, uncomfortable and cramped, then the space of the entire house will be absorbed by such an atmosphere.

Bedroom and living room

In the bedroom and living room you cannot place a mirror opposite the doorways

and windows. It’s bad if the window is reflected in the mirror. In this case, it attracts the energy of the street into the apartment. In living rooms, as a rule, there are wardrobes or walls, the doors of which usually contain mirrors. Their presence in such places is highly undesirable.
