- Feng Shui Mirrors: What
is the Bagua?
by Lynn Lee
Feng Shui practitioners often use
Feng Shui mirrors to improve the Feng Shui of your house or your
business. Feng Shui mirrors emit the Feng Shui energy of water.
A function of Feng Shui mirrors is to draw the beneficial flow
of energy (Qi) into the place it is positioned at.
Generally, the mirrors can be used to expand the space of an
area, to reflect and deflect the Qi of an area. In this article,
we will talk about these 3 areas of Feng Shui mirrors, as well
as the commonly used Bagua Mirror.
As mention earlier, there are 3 main uses of Feng Shui mirrors,
there are used to expand, reflect, and deflect the flow of Qi
in an area. When used in the appropriate manner, the Feng Shui
mirrors will improve the flow of Qi in that area. However, improper
placement of Feng Shui mirrors will cause things to worsen. |

Listed below is a brief explanation
on the 3 types of uses of the Feng Shui mirrors.
Expansion
In this case, the use of a mirror is to create virtual space
to adjust your focal view of an area. In the study of Feng Shui,
the mirror provides us with a new in-depth view of ourselves
as it opens up a virtual view on an otherwise plain surface.
The mirror can also create a virtual view of an area, and can
“expand” the space of the area.
In Feng Shui, a small space represents limitation. Small spaces
will limit the flow of Qi in the area, eventually limiting our
movement and advancement in life. Thereby, a mirror is often
used to virtually expand a small space.
Reflection
When a Feng Shui mirror reflects an object, it does not only
reflect the image of the object, but also the energy the object
is emitting. Thereby, it doubles the effect of the energy the
object is emitting. For example, if the mirror shows the reflection
of a pile of unpaid bills, it will mean that in time to come,
there will be more unpaid bills piling up, increasing your debts.
On the other hand, if the reflection shows a reflection of a
kitchen stove, it symbolizes that your wealth will be doubled
as fire stoves symbolize wealth.
Deflection
Feng Shui mirrors can be used to deflect the negative energy
(Sha Qi) away from your house or business. The mechanism behind
this is that it will deflect the Sha Qi back to its source, preventing
it from entering the house. Bagua mirrors are used to deflect
Sha Qi.
If your intention is to deflect Sha Qi, the Bagua mirror should
be placed outside your house. It is common to see people hanging
a Bagua mirror outside their homes. Other than deflecting Sha
Qi, the Bagua mirror also brings harmony and good fortune to
the owner. For this purpose, you can place the Bagua mirror in
your home, preferably in your living room.
With proper usage, Feng Shui mirrors can improve the flow of
Qi, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life. Now that
we know the uses of the Feng Shui and Bagua mirror, you can make
use of these mirrors to ward off bad luck and improve the quality
of your life. |
