Drink Plenty of Fluids, Put up a Mirror and Call me in the Morning

Have you ever heard of Feng shui aspirin? That’s what Feng shui practitioners often call a mirror. Mirrors can be very useful as Feng Shui remedies in many different situations.

In Feng Shui philosophy, the mirror serves three purposes: expansion, reflection and deflection. It’s great to know that our wide selection of unique and decorative mirrors can help with all three.

Expansion

Place a mirror on a wall and a sort of magical vista opens up. We look into the mirror and see beyond the immediate plane and enter a virtual reflective space. This literally relaxes our eyes and relieves stress. Symbolically, the mirror expands our mental vision and lets us perceive ourselves and our lives in a new way.

According to Feng Shui, smaller spaces mean limitations. We are not free to expand into more abundant, fuller lives. That’s why, mirrors are often used as a remedy for small spaces- they visually and metaphysically expand that space and remove restrictions.

Small entrances in your home can signify that you are having a hard time making your way in the world. Expand a small foyer or entrance by using a decorative mirror, like our Shiva Mirror. Let’s say that your entrance forces you to make a sharp turn to the left. This can block progress in your career or other areas. The solution? Place an eye-catching, contemporary mirror like the Burst Mirror on the blocking wall (the wall that makes you turn) and you create a virtual window that lets you “see through the wall.”

Open up narrow passageways by placing a mirror on one or both opposing walls. This makes the space feel wider. In Feng Shui narrow passageways constrict energy and correspond to the lungs and restricted airways.

Reflection

Along with creating virtual windows through walls, mirrors can draw certain objects in (reflect) or push things away (deflect). Use mirrors to add positive energy to your space or reverse any negative chi there might be.

When you place a mirror up on a wall, always pay attention to what it is reflecting back to you. The Feng Shui belief is that a mirror basically doubles whatever it is reflecting. If you’ve got a beautiful Vishnu mirror on the wall across from a messy desk filled with unpaid bills, you’re symbolically doubling the mess and debt! Let’s say you have a mirror that reflects a framed family vacation photo. In this photo everyone is relaxed and having a blast. That means that metaphorically, the mirror has to double your family’s relaxation and happiness.

Here’s a Feng Shui tip: the stove symbolizes prosperity. Hang a mirror above the kitchen stove and reflect or double the number of burners. You just doubled your prosperity!

Deflection

Mirrors can also deflect or bounce back negative energy. The rule of thumb for attracting or repelling energy is this: if you intend to attract positive energy, place your mirror inside the home. To deflect bad or sha chi, a mirror is hung on the exterior of your home. (If you live in an apartment, hang a mirror inside a window, with the reflective surface facing out.)

When using Feng Shui aspirin, it’s important to keep in mind that it is your intention which determines success. Say you decide to place a classic Brahma mirror in your hallway to expand the space. If you intend to truly experience that expansion, you will!
