How To Use Mirrors In Your Feng Shui Home

Mirrors help redirect chi and keep it moving. They are ideal in rooms that are dark, because they reflect the available light and chi back into the room. In small or narrow rooms, large mirrors give the impression that the room is wider than it actually is. Hang the mirrors on the longer walls, to create the impression that the proportions of the room are closer to a square. Mirrors are associated with water chi. Avoid positioning mirrors so that they are directly opposite a door or window, as they will reflect the chi back out of your home again. Two mirrors opposite each other risk chi bouncing back and forth, creating a more frantic atmosphere. Keep mirrors in your bedroom to a minimum. For maximum effect use mirrors in dark narrow rooms. Convex mirrors are round, fish-eye ones that help disperse chi energy. Use them where your stairs lead straight to your front door, or in a long corridor. As you can see, using mirrors correctly creates a faster, more exciting, spacious, active environment. It doesn't matter much what kind of mirror is being used - the most important thing to bear in mind is this: Never use a mirror in a very dark room or anywhere the Sun never shines onto. Such places are called "yin" locations and having a mirror there will speed up and enhance the accumulation of the "yin" energies which will give rise to many "ghosty" experiences.
