Mirror Placement Feng Shui: Practical Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls and Curing

Mirrors in feng shui have the functions of reflecting, amplifying, and transferring energy. Ancient people believed mirrors could "reflect demons" and "attract qi," therefore playing an important role in feng shui.

Mirrors can reflect directly incoming sha energy like road conflicts and sharp corners—this is the positive function of mirrors.

But mirrors can also reflect positive energy, causing good energy to dissipate—this is why improperly placed mirrors cause wealth leakage.

Taboo 1: Mirror facing door. Mirror directly facing main door will reflect incoming good luck outward, causing wealth leakage. Cure: cover mirror with cloth or move mirror position.

Taboo 2: Mirror facing bed. Bedroom mirror facing bed disturbs sleep, causing insomnia and nightmares, even affecting marital relationship. Cure: move mirror or cover with cloth.

Taboo 3: Mirror facing stove. Mirror facing stove forms "fire-water conflict" pattern, affecting family health, especially cardiovascular problems. Cure: move stove or mirror position.

Living room mirrors are suitable for side walls, can introduce light and expand space perception. Placed at wealth position can enhance fortune, but must not reflect main door.

Living room mirrors should not be too large—too large mirrors reflect too much energy, making people feel uneasy.

Suitable living room mirror positions: side wall, beside window, opposite staircase. Unsuitable positions: above sofa, TV wall directly facing door.

Bedroom mirrors require the most attention. In principle, bedrooms should have no mirrors facing the bed.

If wardrobe has mirror, should choose sliding door wardrobe with mirror fixed to wardrobe side, not facing bed.

If bedroom already has immovable mirror, can cover with cloth and pull down during sleep.

Bathroom mirrors have relatively lower requirements, because bathrooms are inherently cleaning areas. But there are still some considerations.

Bathroom mirrors should not directly face toilet, because toilet is an excretory organ and facing mirror psychologically makes people uncomfortable.

Bathroom mirrors should be kept clean—blurry mirrors block energy circulation, unfavorable for expelling dirty energy.

Mirrors can be used to cure road conflict sha. If main door faces a straight road or sharp-cornered building, can place mirror inside to reflect these sha energies.

Mirrors used for sha-curing should be convex mirrors—concave mirrors gather sha rather than reflect.

Can also hang Ba Gua mirror or mountain-sea display outside door, but must avoid facing neighbor's door to prevent disputes.
