Using Feng Shui Mirrors the Proper Way

By James Brickman

Feng shui mirrors are a special object, which should be used with caution.

Let’s take a look at the properties of mirrors: they reflect, attract, create the illusion of an extended space, complement the space visually, and redistribute the Qi energy flow.

A mirror can be an excellent corrector, such as in a bathroom. The Qi energy is attracted to water, and moves with water. If you keep your bathroom door open, then good luck may be going down the drains. In this case, the best corrector is a large mirror (the size of the door) hung on the outside and inside of the door. On the outside, it will reflect the Chi and keep it from entering the bathroom and flowing out of your house. On the inside, it will not allow the negative energy to penetrate into the home from the bathroom.

If your bathroom door is opposite the entrance door, it’s best not to use a large mirror on the outside of the bathroom door – it will reflect the incoming Qi back to the street. Instead, hang a small round mirror on the inside of the bathroom door, and hang a wind chime on the outside. The chime will pick up the incoming Qi energy and scatter it through your home.

It is best not to use mirror tiles, as they “cut” the reflection. Good Feng shui mirrors should reflect a person completely, with a little space above the person’s head – it’s the personal growth potential.

Mirrors can help to direct the Qi energy in the desired direction. For example, if your kitchen is opposite the entrance door, you and your guests may be tempted to go to the kitchen and eat. This is not surprising, since the incoming Qi goes straight to the kitchen. If you hang a large mirror to reflect other rooms, the Qi will be redirected towards the rooms and you’ll eat less.

Feng shui mirrors in the bedroom are fine, as long as they don’t reflect a sleeping couple. If they do, the relationship may suffer from third party interference.

Mirrors in the kitchen are used in two ways. First, to reflect the dining table – this will double the prosperity of the family. Second, for the cook to see who enters the kitchen – this will make him/her feel safer.

Mirrors in the living room can help to enhance it. For instance, if you have a stunning landscape outside the window – hang a mirror on the opposite wall, and the beauty of the landscape will double.

The round Bagua Mirrors with rings of trigrams are very strong protectors, which attract negative objects and restrain them by the forces of nature. Bagua Mirrors are very potent and need to be used with caution. Instead, you can use friendly protective animals, such as turtles and unicorns (Chi Lin), which protect against negative spirits and people.

Let’s remember the rules for placing the feng shui mirrors: they should reflect a person in his/her entirety; a mirror opposite the bed can harm a relationship; let the mirrors reflect only nice things.

Feng Shui – The Curative Powers

Leave a reply

By Amy F. Goodmann

Feng Shui offers a myriad of cures when it comes to the evils found at home or in our travels throughout the globe. The cures can be within our spaces or they can be without – that is external in nature and origin. Regardless everyone likes a cure to their ills, their problems and concerns. Everyone likes to be positively reinforced and receive positive reinforcement – whether from friends, family or co-workers on the job.

In the world and travels of Feng Shui there are two broad types of solutions. The first is called Rushi or Rooshi and deals broadly of places, events and things in our direct world and contacts. The other is those problems that are of the physical domains. For example installing a windows in a wall casing in a windowless wall , would be on a physical level and would fall into the Feng Shui category of “Out of this World” or “Chushi” often referred to as Choosi.

Throughout the millennia and centuries many types of Feng Shui observed “cures” were developed, assembled and grew into a large respected collection of veritable cures. The powers and persuasions of these cures have come to be greatly respected and appreciated over time. Their powers and roles in healing and dealing with problems – be it of family, friends of basically most people ,places and things are becoming ever more appreciated..

Chushi cures – whether they are in the form and forms of mirrors, crystals, flutes, fish tanks and others are among this vast proven collection of Feng Shui – in the Chushi areas and domains. These can and are well being regarded as “psychological cures” because the subtle adjustments that Chushi Feng Shui cures offer the most intrinsic as well as subtle and sublime adjustments. While apparently, on the surface it may appear to have little initial or lasting effects on your environment, these will greatly spread, distribute and even shower their effects on our very perceptions.

It occurs, more than commonplace, and more than often that a full rushi, that solutions may not be practical or even economical or thrifty. A Chushi solution will be utilized instead. Your problems and concerns may be facilitated , dealt with and eventfully overcome through a combination or combinations of both rushi (into this world) and chushi (out of this very world) solutions. If one tack or approach does not work – then try the other. However it’s often not one viewpoint or approach but rather a combination of the two that brings the matter and matters to a reasonable as well as fair fitting end and conclusion satisfactory to the initial person and indeed to all parties involved in the problem, problems or debacle.

If there is one ongoing point and viewpoint – or viewpoint to adhere to, emphasize and appreciate it is to remember that to maximize the power and powers of a cushi or cushi cures. Pay great and the greatest attention to any spaces and the spaces themselves where you use and utilize them the most. For example it can be said and noted that clutter around wind chimes or a reflective mirror or mirror like surface will not allow the power and great powers of Feng Shui – be they Chushi or Rushi to express themselves and exert themselves to their greatest positive potentials and helpful effects to you, your family, friends and co-workers.

Feng Shui Mirrors : What is the Bagua?

Leave a reply

By Lynn Lee

Feng Shui practitioners often use Feng Shui mirrors to improve the Feng Shui of your house or your business. Feng Shui mirrors emit the Feng Shui energy of water. A function of Feng Shui mirrors is to draw the beneficial flow of energy (Qi) into the place it is positioned at.

Generally, the mirrors can be used to expand the space of an area, to reflect and deflect the Qi of an area. In this article, we will talk about these 3 areas of Feng Shui mirrors, as well as the commonly used Bagua Mirror.

As mention earlier, there are 3 main uses of Feng Shui mirrors, there are used to expand, reflect, and deflect the flow of Qi in an area. When used in the appropriate manner, the Feng Shui mirrors will improve the flow of Qi in that area. However, improper placement of Feng Shui mirrors will cause things to worsen.

Listed below is a brief explanation on the 3 types of uses of the Feng Shui mirrors.

Expansion

In this case, the use of a mirror is to create virtual space to adjust your focal view of an area. In the study of Feng Shui, the mirror provides us with a new in-depth view of ourselves as it opens up a virtual view on an otherwise plain surface. The mirror can also create a virtual view of an area, and can “expand” the space of the area.

In Feng Shui, a small space represents limitation. Small spaces will limit the flow of Qi in the area, eventually limiting our movement and advancement in life. Thereby, a mirror is often used to virtually expand a small space.

Reflection

When a Feng Shui mirror reflects an object, it does not only reflect the image of the object, but also the energy the object is emitting. Thereby, it doubles the effect of the energy the object is emitting. For example, if the mirror shows the reflection of a pile of unpaid bills, it will mean that in time to come, there will be more unpaid bills piling up, increasing your debts. On the other hand, if the reflection shows a reflection of a kitchen stove, it symbolizes that your wealth will be doubled as fire stoves symbolize wealth.

Deflection

Feng Shui mirrors can be used to deflect the negative energy (Sha Qi) away from your house or business. The mechanism behind this is that it will deflect the Sha Qi back to its source, preventing it from entering the house. Bagua mirrors are used to deflect Sha Qi.

If your intention is to deflect Sha Qi, the Bagua mirror should be placed outside your house. It is common to see people hanging a Bagua mirror outside their homes. Other than deflecting Sha Qi, the Bagua mirror also brings harmony and good fortune to the owner. For this purpose, you can place the Bagua mirror in your home, preferably in your living room.

With proper usage, Feng Shui mirrors can improve the flow of Qi, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life. Now that we know the uses of the Feng Shui and Bagua mirror, you can make use of these mirrors to ward off bad luck and improve the quality of your life.
