“How should I use a mirror in Feng Shui?”

Great question!

Have you noticed how much your surroundings affect you? Most people don’t know how important it is to use the the energy of their surroundings in their home and office. I just returned from visiting a friend who had purchased a beautiful, new mirror. By using mirrors you can take advantage of the good energy in your home and increase your prosperity.

We hung my friend’s new mirror above her dining room table. Mirrors are great to hang over your dining room able because the dining room table represents abundance and a mirror doubles the energy that is there. That is true only as long as your dining room table has something beautiful on, such a flowers, fruit, or a beautiful centerpiece. You wouldn’t want to double a bunch of clutter; that would bring in lack and confusion.

DON’T use a mirror directly across from your bed. That is, if you are looking for love or want to keep the one you have to yourself. If you are single, the mirror will show you already with a partner as it doubles your energy.  If you are a couple, it will appear as extra partners, which I’m sure you aren’t asking the universe to bring into your life. If you have closet door mirrors across from you bed, you can simply cover the mirror by hanging easy-to-pull drapes over them and closing them at night.

A mirror that reflects the bed might look nice, but it’s a common Feng Shui mistake!

When you hang a mirror make sure that your head is not cut off when you look in it. If it is, then the mirror is hanging too low…and if you can’t see your body at all, then it is too high.

Mirrors create a good flow of energy in a hall way also. They create flow and direct the energy down the hallway into another room. They can also effectively direct energy on stair.

Have fun checking out the mirrors in your house to see whether they are bringing in good energy.
