Mirrors
are incredibly valuable in Vastu and even in Feng Shui, as they can be utilized in a
variety of ways to meet a variety of needs. However, it's important to note
that not all mirrors are equally effective, and using one of the wrong shapes
or directions could potentially do more harm than good. In Vastu Shastra they are also known as Asprin.
Having a mirror facing the
bed is commonly believed to have negative effects on one's energy levels and
sleep quality. The reflection of oneself in the mirror can be distracting and
may disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of the bedroom. According to Vastu, it is advised
to place mirrors strategically to enhance positive energy flow, rather than
directly facing the bed. By rearranging the mirror to a different location in
the room, you can create a more harmonious environment conducive to restful
sleep.
The mirror may look good around your bed, but it can bring sick energy into the bedroom if placed incorrectly. Make sure that it does not reflect your bed while sleeping.
A mirror has the ability to reflect and amplify various forms of energy, which can disturb the calmness required in the bedroom for a restful sleep. This can lead to insufficient sleep at night and difficulty waking up in the morning.
It is a good idea to place a mirror
reflecting a dining table. It is believed that the doubling of food on the
dining table symbolizes the abundance of wealth. Do check with a Vastu expert for directions and shape before fixing mirrors.
It is not advisable to have
a mirror that reflects the entrance of the exterior. This could result in
energy that enters the space being propelled outward. Consequently, one may
experience a lack of beneficial opportunities entering their life.
Mirrors can be employed to redirect something unfavorable. By positioning the mirror to face the source of the negative energy within your surroundings, it will bounce back the energy and prevent it from having a detrimental effect on you. Thus, if you have an object or shape that causes disharmony, you can balance it out by placing the mirror in the right direction.
A
narrow passage or hallway constricts the energy of that space. This can have a
constricting effect on your own energy affecting your health. The lungs
especially might be affected, as the constricted passageway in your home is
analogous to the constricted airways in your body. Widen a narrow entry or hall
with mirrors on one or both sides.
Other uses
Mirrors can be used to
create an illusion of space. When there is a constriction in a particular area
of a room, a mirror can be used to add depth to the wall that is causing the
issue.
If you have a low ceiling, a mirror can be used to create a visual representation of the crushing sensation. To achieve this, the mirror should be set so that it faces the ceiling, making the reflection visible.
Amazing
things happen when you use a mirror that effectively pulls in the outdoors and warmth
from the sun. If your windows open to a beautiful outdoor view or exquisite
garden, bring those views inside by placing a mirror on the wall opposite the
windows. The mirror will reflect the outdoor views bringing them inside and
making the landscape an integral part of the premises.
Mirror corrections
According to Vastu, mirrors should be avoided on
the southern and western walls. Special mirror
pyramids are available to be placed in
the four corners of the mirror in order to correct the energy.
