Mirrors are your extra-eyes to examine whether everything is OK with your home energy.

People usually think that mirrors only reflect their appearance and nothing more. But what if I tell you that mirrors have other secret functions — functions you rarely take into account?

While writing this post I did a little research on the art of Feng Shui, and accordingly all my considerations below are based on this theory. Feng Shui is a Chinese lifestyle practice that supposes every single item has its proper place. In other words, the right thing in the right place may bring spiritual harmony and positive energy into your life.

So when designing your home interior, consider the following dos and don’ts.

Place the home mirror in Eastern, Southeastern or Northern direction.

• East — improves your health and family

• Southeast – stands for wealth

• North –enhances your career development

South is the direction of fire, and since a mirror contains the element water, you should never put them in the same place.

Hang a mirror on a slanted wall. If there is a slanted wall in your home, then hang the mirror on it. Why? A slanted wall is the symbol of limitations and restrictions. It seems like an obstacle in the way of your progress. So hanging a mirror on such a wall will show one thing – that you ignore those obstacles and move on! It will look much more impressive if, for example, a beautiful landscape reflects in it. It will create a positive expression of dreams and high ideals. Besides, the slanted wall will never seem that slanted.

Always choose large mirrors which will reflect your entire body. Some space should also be left above your head — it is the space of progress. Never use mirrors that divide your body, as it is also cutting the main field of your energy — your aura.

Avoid hanging mirrors in your bathroom and bedroom. While sleeping or taking a bath, we release stress and negative energy that can reflect in the mirror and return to us again. So if you have mirrors in these two places, at least cover them while sleeping or taking a bath. Besides, if you have a mirror in your bedroom you can always have a sleeping problem, so make sure that your mirror never reflects your bed. It is said that while sleeping our soul leaves the body and it can be lost in the mirror if it comes across one.

Don’t put two mirrors on opposite sides of walls, because the energy between them can turn into chaos and it will directly affect your mood and home atmosphere. Everyone who enters your home, including you, will have a headache and feel weakness.

Let the mirror double your wealth! If the mirror reflects you reaching for food on the table, jewelry or money, you’ll have more. Be attentive so that these objects and the entrance door do not reflect in the same mirror. It shows that your wealth enters and goes out of your home.

So remember that a mirror, though very often considered a simple object, is nothing but a source of energy that influences your mood, success and your whole life!
