Feng Shui mirrors: location rules

The best places for mirrors in the house according to Feng Shui

a mirror on the eastern wall is responsible for health and peace in your home,
the mirror on the south-eastern wall is responsible for money, abundance, prosperity,
the mirror on the north wall is responsible for your career and life path.
Never hang a mirror on the western wall - according to Feng Shui, this is where the souls of the dead can be located.
Also avoid south-facing mirrors.

In our country, it is not customary to have two entrances - the front and the “back” and this, according to representatives of some Feng Shui schools, leads to stagnation of energy in the house.

It is recommended to create such a “door” using a large mirror, hanging it where it could be. You will immediately feel the changed atmosphere.

According to Feng Shui, the mirror in the hallway or corridor should not be opposite the front door.

The fact is that the mirror in the hallway contains the main amount of useful energy, which is necessary for good feng shui in the home, and, therefore, for the successful living of the residents.

If the mirror is opposite the door, then this energy, returning to the beginning of its reflective surface, goes through the open door and does not spread throughout the house. This can lead to fatigue, quarrels, and troubles because the house is energetically weakened.

A mirror opposite the front door will reflect good luck and lead to unfavorable turns in your career or worsen your fate.

As a rule, a mirror should not be located at the end of the corridor, because this can lead to disappointment in work and other troubles. In addition, you will be more likely to make mistakes and go on a long journey in this case.

What a mirror should be like according to Feng Shui - in the hallway and not only

Opt for large wall mirrors instead of mirrored tiles, which break up reflections. A holistic image is always more harmonious.
According to most schools, it is better to buy an oval or round mirror and definitely larger. It should reflect a person in full growth and, naturally, without cloudiness or distortion. If not the whole person is reflected in the mirror, according to the Chinese, this can cause headaches - literally and figuratively. The reason, according to Feng Shui masters, is that partial, disturbed reflection also destroys a person's personal energy, which affects his self-esteem and his health.
A good Feng Shui mirror - one that reflects the person looking at it at full height and even a little space above his/her head (this is potential for growth in all directions).
A round mirror with a gilded frame that reflects a lot of light is a good choice for the well-being of your home.

Mirror in the hall, living room, dining room according to Feng Shui

There are several Feng Shui options for placing a mirror in these rooms. Don't forget also what we wrote about the best places in the house for mirrors.

If a mirror in the hall, living room, dining room is positioned so that it reflects the window, this will bring positive energy into the house, which dissipates into the room. But remember that this rule only works for you if the view from the window is beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
In addition, it would be good if the mirror in the hall reflected paintings and objects that are a symbol of prosperity and well-being - seascapes, fountains, figurines... of storks. However, you should not “point” the mirror at a closet whose shelves are filled with small objects, which, as a rule, are arranged chaotically and without meaning.

If the windows of the hall, living room, dining room look out onto a courtyard cluttered with cars, “look” at the walls of neighboring houses or onto a busy street, then it is better not to place a mirror opposite this, so that negative energy does not multiply and is not reflected from the street into your house.
Do not chase fashion and do not hang a mirror between cabinets - be it in the living room, hallway or lobby. The fact is that a person who looks in such a mirror will feel betrayed and limited by circumstances.

The mirror should not be in the kitchen, which is a place of fire; Otherwise, there will be more fire in the kitchen due to the reflection of the mirror, which will easily cause fire or other accidents, increasing your irritability.

From a Feng Shui point of view, the toilet is the most unfavorable room in a house or apartment in terms of energy. Negative energy is born in it, and positive energy flows out.

If your toilet is located next to the front door through which the energies of success enter the house, then they will immediately “leak” from your house (you, without knowing it, will “flush them down the toilet”). On the other hand, if you hang a mirror on the outside of the toilet door (which should always be closed), then the room itself will symbolically “disappear” and good energy will remain in the house.

Needless to say, a mirror in a toilet is an excessive thing and especially should not be placed in such a way that it reflects the toilet and the people sitting on it.

A mirror in the bathroom (even if it is combined with a toilet) is a necessary thing, but it should not be too big or too small. In a small bathroom, you need to hang a larger mirror to visually enlarge the space.

It is best to hang a mirror above the sink and it must be solid and reflect your entire head.

Mirror in the toilet: why you can’t hang it

As mentioned earlier, the bathroom has high energy, so its arrangement should be treated very carefully and carefully. According to experts, the high energy of the room is due to the fact that a person here washes away some of his sins, which can negatively affect a person.

First of all, this danger is associated with mirrors that people unknowingly place in the toilet. Since ancient times, this item has been considered one of the most powerful in terms of preserving, controlling and enhancing energy, which is why many Chinese refuse to have a large number of mirrors in the house.

Moreover, when such a powerful source of energy is used in a place where this energy should be suppressed, this is the worst option for the spiritual component of a person. If a mirror is installed in the toilet room, the negative energy that is washed off from a person will linger here, which is why the owner may experience health problems, or he will be haunted by failures and serious problems - both at home and at work.

Feng Shui rules for the toilet, bathroom: paintings and flowers

The microclimate of the bathroom, high humidity - all this is ideal for some plants, so placing them in such rooms can and should be done.
In this case, the plants will purify the air and improve the energy in the room.
If you want to please yourself with fresh flowers in the bathroom, give preference to those that love a lot of moisture and do not need sunlight, since most often in such a room there is either none or very little of it.

Plants in the bathroom

Flowers in the toilet, according to Feng Shui, monsteras, dracaenas, various exotic and tropical plants will fit perfectly into the bathroom and toilet, which will be ideally suited to the microclimate created in such rooms.
As for paintings, they are not only possible, but even necessary to be hung in the bathroom and toilet area. However, it is important to understand that for a small room one painting will be enough, for a large room - two.
Feng Shui paintings in a toilet with a marine theme, depicting ships, seas, oceans, glaciers, sea animals, etc., as well as all paintings in blue, green, light blue, and gray colors are perfect.

Marine style in the bathroom

Also limit yourself to using red, yellow, orange, sand, and burgundy shades to decorate your bathroom and toilet.

What to do if the mirror in the toilet already weighs

If such a situation occurs, you need to correct it immediately, based on the tips described. If the toilet layout places a toilet near the front door, then you should completely abandon any mirror surface.

If the room has an elongated shape and the toilet is located opposite the front door, then it can be covered with a special curtain and additional lighting can be installed there. It is also important to remember that the curtain is always closed, as well as the front door and the toilet lid. This will be the most ideal option according to Feng Shui.

You should also not allow pipes and other plumbing fixtures to be reflected in the room. A mirror, when used correctly, should only reflect bare walls - this is the safest and most effective way of placement.

Conclusion

In general, mirrors in the home, according to Feng Shui, double and enhance what they reflect. Therefore, they need to be hung in such a way that they look only at what brings joy and prosperity. Never hang a mirror so that it reflects a trash can or dirty shoes.

For example, if you want your refrigerator to always be stocked with food, make sure the mirror reflects the list of products you want to buy.
In the nursery, the children's favorite toys and things should be reflected in the mirror.
In the hall is what you love and what brings you joy, what you consider a symbol of your well-being and good luck.
Remember that the cleanliness of the mirror is also important. Clean it often for reasons other than beauty. It is believed that mirrors have the ability to preserve and accumulate negative emotions and return them back.
If you want to attract good luck, choose mirrors in wooden, metal and generally beautiful frames. If you want to attract money into your home, you must have at least one mirror with a gold-painted frame.

The main requirements for a toilet according to the Feng Shui method

By following the basic Feng Shui recommendations for organizing the internal space and toilet interior, you can receive mental satisfaction. To do this, you need to remember the basic criteria that will help maintain the well-being of your home:

the toilet must be kept exceptionally clean;
The toilet lid must be kept down at all times. Otherwise, positive energy will go into an open reservoir. Even a constantly flowing stream of water symbolizes the leakage of well-being, as well as additional financial expenses;
The presence of ventilation or a transom will allow you to neutralize black energy in the toilet using Feng Shui. Natural air circulation in a small room will enhance Yin energy and activate Yang, which promotes wealth and success;
the presence of a mirror opposite the toilet according to Feng Shui helps to reflect the flow of energy, and also visually hides this room;
Having a painting of a rising sun or a red lantern over a doorway activates positive Yang energy.

By separating the toilet area according to Feng Shui, you can significantly protect your life from the influence of otherworldly forces and evil envious people. If for technical reasons it is impossible to separate the restroom from the bathroom, you should match the color of the doors to the color of the toilet. Thus, the color scheme of the external walls is combined, and the bathroom is visually hidden.

Toilet placement according to feng shui

If you strictly follow the laws of Feng Shui, then the toilet should be located in a favorable place.

Poor toilet location

Please pay attention to the following:

According to Feng Shui philosophy, a toilet opposite the entrance (entrance door) is one of the worst planning decisions. If this is your case, then you will be haunted by constant failures;
If the toilet is located opposite the bed, then this is the most dangerous location, because in a dream a person is most vulnerable to the harmful energy that circulates in the toilet;
If the toilet is located opposite the living room, then the atmosphere in this room will always be tense and nervous.

From here we conclude that the toilet doors need to be veiled, made almost invisible, you can hang a mirror on the outside of the toilet door. Most importantly, do not forget that the doors to the toilet should always be kept tightly closed!

Pay special attention to how your bed is positioned. The head of the bed should not be adjacent to the wall of the toilet. Under no circumstances should the bed be placed above or below the toilet, for example on a floor above or below. Therefore, if you live in a multi-story building, then when placing your bed, try to find out what is located behind the wall, above or below your neighbors. If there is a toilet there, then you are guaranteed a leak of beneficial energy and an active influx of negative energy.

If you have an aquarium in your apartment, then you need to remove it from the toilet as far as possible. The aquarium is intended to symbolize well-being, but if it is installed near the toilet, where water is constantly going down the drain, its power will invisibly and constantly flow out of your house into the sewer.

It’s very bad if you put a trash can or a broom in the corner of the toilet! The problem is that the trash can represents the abyss, which will increase its harmful effects while in the toilet. If the toilet is located in the wealth zone, then this is simply a disaster. If you do not have the opportunity to remove the toilet from this zone, then the only way to neutralize the harmful effects of the toilet on the wealth zone is to hang a mirror on the door of your toilet; it will reflect the flow of harmful energy and make the toilet invisible.

Follow these easy-to-follow tips, arrange your toilet correctly, and Feng Shui will help you find harmony, happiness and prosperity.

There are many people among us who are adherents of the Taoist practice of symbolic exploration of space, in simple words - the practice of Feng Shui. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that many people, when arranging their homes, try to do it according to the rules of Feng Shui.

Today we invite you to understand the rules of Feng Shui for the toilet, bathroom and toilet. The correct location of the bathroom and toilet in the house is very important, since both rooms have enormous energy, which can have both negative and positive effects on residents.

What to hang above the front door according to Feng Shui

Horseshoe

One of the most ancient protective symbols of the house are horseshoes. They are also favorable Feng Shui talismans, because horseshoes have ideal shapes for holding qi. The Indian Vastu Shastra system, which is close in spirit to Feng Shui, considers horseshoes to be one of the strongest protective talismans, and they also attract good luck.

Despite the fact that horseshoes are not traditional Feng Shui talismans, they will undoubtedly be an excellent amulet for entrance doors.

The music of wind

In some houses, wind chimes are hung in doorways, in the belief that they attract qi and scare away evil spirits.

However, this is a big mistake, especially if the wind chime is made of metal. It, similar to a mirror located in Feng Shui opposite the door, will reflect the energy flows back.

Bell

According to the teachings of Feng Shui, to create protection in the house, you should hang a simple metal bell above the door.

In this case, the wind chime can be moved away from the front door, approximately in the center of the hallway, where it will help in the redistribution of chi energy in the living quarters, especially when the toilet is located opposite the front door.

It’s good to hang bright, pleasing compositions (paintings, photos) opposite the entrance to the house. These could be images with bouquets of flowers or a large decorative fan.

In cases where there are columns, sewer pipes, sharp corners of walls or a bathroom (toilet) opposite the doors, it is worth separating them from the door with bamboo or beaded curtains with bright patterns on them. These attributes will help more qi flows enter the house and spread to other living areas of the house.

Russian signs

Since ancient times in Rus', a mirror was used as a magical object and many rituals were not performed without it. And now it is believed that the product is capable of collecting, accumulating, releasing or reflecting energy.

An explanation can be found in folk signs

why you can’t place mirrors opposite the entrance doors:

positive energy will leave the home;
people living in a house or apartment will begin to become exhausted both morally and physically, which can result in various diseases
;
the owner of the house, leaving to go about his business, will feel an acute reluctance to return to his abode;
Uninvited guests will appear in the house more and more often;
material well-being will begin to deteriorate
;
guests, entering the house, are able to leave their energy in the mirror, which can be negative, which will ultimately affect the household;
If luck, entering a home, notices its reflection in the mirror, it will go in search of another refuge, believing that everything is fine in this house without it. Plus, she may be drawn into the looking glass, which is fraught with negative consequences
for the residents.

These signs relate not only to one entrance door; it is not recommended to place a mirror opposite the interior openings. Whether or not to hang a mirror opposite the front entrance depends only on the owner of the house. If a person is superstitious or a follower of the teachings of Feng Shui, then he will definitely not like such an idea.

You can always find a way out of any situation. As a last resort, the mirror can be hung on the side of the entrance doors

. This will maintain positive energy and all household members will be happy.

Let's look at this topic piece by piece.

Most of the qi that is in the house entered the room through the front door. Thanks to the harmonious layout, the energy calms down at the entrance or in the stairwell and flows smoothly throughout the apartments.

If there is little energy in the apartment, then all your rearrangements and design will not matter. In such a space, people will feel quickly tired. After all, qi simply does not enter the house.

Let's tell the banal truth. The mirror is used in the interior, not only to make a mess before leaving your home. But also for visual expansion of dark and narrow rooms.

But as soon as we get close to Feng Shui, we encounter misconceptions.
