Be Different: The Feng Shui Mirror

Tomas Labas

Stress comes from everyday living. Whether it be at work, home, or anywhere else, it is difficult to keep things in perspective. That is one reason why Feng Shui has become so popular among everyone looking to create balance in their life, even when they look at themselves. A Feng Shui mirror is not only for looking at yourself, but it is a new way to see yourself; here is why.

Introduction

The basics behind Feng Shui start with your working and/or living space. In order to put energy (or "chi") into your life to pursue your aspirations, you first have to rid yourself of the ailments in your living/working quarters. The literal meaning of Feng Shui is “wind and water” -- feng is the wind that carries chi throughout the space and shui is the water that swims beneath the earth-supporting chi, so it creates a free flow of chi in the environment.

The prime purpose of Feng Shui is to parallel your physical space with your personal goals. Thus, a person has to change the objects within their dwelling in order to keep their goals within sight. With a Feng Shui mirror, it won’t only help you see yourself; it will also help you see yourself without negativity. For instance, if you place the Feng Shui mirror in front of whatever is negative in your bedroom or other room, then it will reflect the object, and keep it away from you.

If you need to have a room for relaxation, place a mirror where the negative energy is keeping you from calm, such as a machine or other electronic device. When you need to have other elements or energy in your room, a Feng Shui mirror will help you bring in that chi. Place your Feng Shui mirror facing towards a window, where the element is and the reflection will bring the element’s chi into the room.

If you are willing to try something new to de-stress your life, considering the art of Feng Shui could help you. Although an ancient practice, it is believed to chase away the negative energy in a particular space and only stream in positive chi. Using a Feng Shui mirror is not just about positioning your mirror a particular way, it is a way to see yourself differently and in an optimistic light.
