Feng Shui Bedroom Mirror Placement
Is it bad Feng Shui to have a mirror in the bedroom? In Feng Shui, a mirror facing the bed is considered bad. This is because it depletes your energy. When you are sleeping, your body is repairing and healing itself. It is in need of energy at this time and so if depleted of energy, your body will be adversely affected.
This doesn’t mean that mirrors are bad feng shui. Mirrors are very important in feng shui and are used for several different reasons. Mirrors are a powerful source of altering energy. They have been called the aspirin of feng shui; with proper placement, they can dramatically shift the flow of Chi, or feng shui energy.
If you have a mirror facing the bed, you can remedy it in two ways:
1) Remove the mirror and place it somewhere else. This is easy–just find some new spot for the mirror.
2) Cover the mirror with a cloth or curtain. Covering the mirror prevents it from interfering with energy as it cannot reflect it. Use thicker curtains for better results.
Feng Shui Bedroom Layout Tips
* Never keep water in the bedroom. Water produces too many emotions and it also depicts lack of passion. Avoid keeping a fountain or aquarium in your bedroom.
* Check the positioning of the door and windows–Chi tends to flow between the door and any of the windows. Never place your bed in this line as it lacks chi.
* Place the bed as far away as possible from the front door.
* Never sleep on the bed with the window near the back of your head. Instead, sleep with a solid wall behind your head.
* Avoid placing your bed under a beam in the ceiling.
* Place a low night stand or a low table to the right of the bed. This symbolizes your readiness to spring into action when the need arises.
* Try not to place any electronic items, including televisions, electric alarm clocks, in your bedroom. In case you can’t help this, then cover them during the night, while you are asleep.
* If you share your bed with someone, then place the bed equidistant from the walls on both the sides.
* Colors are very important in driving chi towards you and your space. Select the colors of bedsheets, decorative pieces, curtains and bedroom wall colors carefully, after considering every aspect.
* Keep the area near your bed clean.
* A bedroom mirror reflecting the bed can bring serious problems. Place the mirror in a way so that you can see the reflection of the front door in it.
