Mirror in the bedroom: signs and rules for feng shui
There are many beliefs about the location of mirrors in the bedroom. Many of them have been passed down since ancient times, and some have appeared relatively recently. The mirror is often viewed as an object with mystical properties.
Why shouldn't the mirror be placed in front of the bed?
Beliefs say that the wrong position of the mirror can harm the person who is sleeping. That is why many people think: is it good or bad to have it in the bedroom, and how to properly hang or put a mirror so that it is comfortable to sleep in the room, and most importantly, without any negative consequences. Similar signs are common among different peoples. To understand where they came from, to get some kind of explanation and answers to the questions that arise, you need to study in more detail the versions of their appearance.
In many cultures around the world, mirrors are treated with extreme caution. The Slavs, for example, consider them a portal to the other world, in England these beliefs refer only to broken mirrors, in Japan they are generally prohibited in the bedroom. According to Chinese culture, in a dream, a person is cleansed of the negative accumulated during the day, and the mirror surface will not allow him to leave the room - and will return everything back.
Signs by which it is undesirable to install a mirror in the bedroom:
- it, like a vampire, can absorb the energy of a sleeping person, as a result, in the morning, a person has poor health and irritability;
- the soul that has gone to sleep will “get lost” in the mirror and will not be able to return;
- evil spirits can enter the house through the mirror surface;
- the reflective surface will not allow the negative to be cleaned.
Psychologists believe that the reflection in the mirror opposite the bed prevents a person from falling asleep, as there is a feeling that someone is in the bedroom and is watching him. Where the child sleeps, in general, it is better to refuse them.
If whole mirrors are endowed with such properties, then there are also many beliefs and signs about damaged and broken ones. Do not use mirror surfaces that have even minimal damage.... Such a coating is already distorting, and to see oneself reflected in such an appearance means to harm oneself.
It is forbidden to glue the broken mirror... It is better to collect all the fragments, wash them under running water, thus flushing information about yourself from the mirror, and then throw them away.
Feng Shui placement rules
The mirror, as an indispensable element of the interior, serves as a decoration for the house and visually makes the space wider. Nevertheless, experts in feng shui, as well as psychologists, express their opinions and warnings about the location of mirrors in the bedroom. It will be more appropriate in a room where a person takes care of himself.... Such a room can be a bathroom, dressing room or hallway, but not a bedroom, since the reflection of a sleeping person is undesirable.
If someone still wants to have a mirror in the bedroom, then Feng Shui experts advise placing the reflective surface of the mirror so that the bed is not reflected in it.
Recommendations from Chinese culture on how to properly hang or position an item in the bedroom:
- on the side wall of the bedroom, just not opposite the bed;
- in the corner, on the dressing table;
- close the mirror in the closet by hanging it on the inside of the door;
- if a reflective surface is placed at the head of the bed, this also will not cause any negative;
- the mirror in the bedroom should be round or oval.
There are both tips for the location of mirrors in the bedroom and prohibitions. Reflective surfaces, according to feng shui, cannot be installed in front of a window or so that the front door is reflected in them.... This arrangement prevents the flow of positive energy into the room.
And one more important tip: you cannot have more than two mirrors in the bedroom. They are able to accumulate negative energy, and in order to get rid of it, you need to wash them more often with running water.
What should be reflected?
Indoor mirrors harmonize and expand the area. Feng Shui has a positive attitude towards the placement of reflective elements in the room, but claims that it is highly undesirable and dangerous in the bedroom. For those who consider it a necessary element of the interior of a bedroom, Chinese culture advises to follow a number of rules that will help avoid negative impact on the people who are there.
So what should be reflected in the mirror surface so that the sleeping person does not feel discomfort during sleep, and after waking up he feels rested, full of strength and energy? To solve this issue, Feng Shui recommends using objects that are able to attract positive energy into the room, harmonize the atmosphere and fill the space with positive.
Items that can be reflected in the mirror:
- composition of fresh flowers;
- paintings with a calm, beautiful plot;
- talismans, as well as amulets charged for good luck, goodness, love, health, prosperity;
- photographs depicting happy fragments of life;
- beautiful figurines;
- aquarium.
In addition, every time passing by the mirror, the owner of the bedroom should smile at his reflection. This will increase the positiveness of the room and enhance the energy.
Choosing a shape and size
Mirrors come in all shapes, uses, and sizes. Choosing such an item in the house, the owners choose it according to their taste and in accordance with the interior of the room. Every culture treats this differently.
For example, according to the rules of feng shui, this object should not have corners, that is, it must be round or oval in shape. There is one more statement - the mirror must necessarily border the frame... It is this way of design that will help maintain harmony between space and personality, will be conducive to achieving a balance of moral and material, increasing strength and strengthening the spirit. Feng Shui also advises to ensure that the mirror is always clean, then the energy emitted by it will always be clean and positive.
Decorating your room, as well as making its space conducive to sleeping and spending time, is not difficult if you take the laws of feng shui as a guide. Observing them, you will provide the sleeping room with harmony, fill it with the most positive emotions.
Many the peoples of the world in their beliefs forbid quarreling in front of a reflective surface or cryingbecause mirrors absorb everything that happens, accumulate, and then return all this negative to the owner. As a result, you can have nightmares, and be in a depressed mood during the day.
The mirror needs to be bought new so that it has no history.... There is no guarantee that an expensive antique purchase has accumulated only positive emotions. There are stories of killer mirrors that led to the death of their owners, and they died under strange circumstances.
