In Feng Shui, under what circumstances are mirrors used?
In Feng Shui, mirrors are used to ward off evil spirits and should face the direction of evil spirits; facing the bed cannot ward off evil spirits. Mirrors, especially large mirrors, face the bed. When you get up at night, you will be drowsy and the lights are dim. Seeing you or the furnishings in the mirror can easily create illusions and frighten people. Therefore, the mirror should not face the bed. The bedside should not be facing the mirror. The mirror is used to block evil spirits and reflect the evil spirits coming straight back. Therefore, the mirror should not be facing the bed. When the bedside is facing the mirror, you will often be startled by your own reflection. Some people have many mirrors in the room and often feel like ghosts. In fact, this is just an illusion caused by the shaking mirror shadow. It is not advisable to install a mirror at the head of the bed, because it is taboo to face the head of the bed, which will often seriously affect sleep and tranquility, leading to heart palpitations, insomnia, mental confusion, and even illness. It is not advisable to place too many mirrors in the bedroom. It is ideal to install a mirror on the door inside the wardrobe. In this way, the mirror cannot be seen at ordinary times, but when you want to get dressed or dress up, you can open the door and there will be a mirror. Mirrors were used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits. Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Ancient mirrors are like ancient swords. If there are gods, they can ward off evil spirits and disobey evil spirits. It is advisable for ordinary people to hang large mirrors in their homes to ward off evil spirits." The "gods" here can be used as "qi" and " Information" understood. In ancient times, mirrors were hung in many buildings, which were actually "feng shui mirrors". For example, in the Forbidden City, there is a huge crystal mirror in the Qianqing Palace; in the "Yangxinzhai" where Yongzheng read and rested, there was a wooden screen wall at the back door with a mirror hanging on it. These mirrors have little effect on reflecting scenery and are mainly used as "feng shui mirrors". When installing a mirror indoors, pay attention to its location and avoid facing the bed or table. If a mirror faces the table or bed, part of the owner's energy will be reflected, affecting health. Especially at night when the yang energy is weak, people are most afraid of facing the mirror against the bed. Knowing this truth, the mirror on the dressing table in the house, the mirror on the wardrobe, or even the mirror hanging on the wall should not face the writing desk or bed. If you really can't place it, you can leave it alone at ordinary times and hang it when writing or sleeping. Thick curtains will be more auspicious if a Bagua diagram or talisman pattern is pasted on it. Just keep a dressing mirror and a mirror for washing in the bathroom. There is no need to make it sparkly. It is indeed not good to have a mirror facing the front door (although there is no scientific basis--!) At the same time, it is easy to scare yourself when you get up at night, hehe. The specific method will be discovered by the author himself. My suggestion is to remove it if you can. If you really can’t remove it, hang something up to cover it. Also, can we make a sliding window-style design that opens when in use and closes when not in use?
