Feng shui mirror rules – for wealth, prosperity and well-being

Get savvy about the feng shui mirror rules to reap the benefits in your home!

Feng shui mirror rules can seem a little tricky. The ancient Chinese art promises rich benefits to quality of life when following its precepts, but those on the subject of mirrors can sometimes seem harder to understand than other guidance.

This is particularly the case in bedroom feng shui with careful placement an essential if you are to have bedroom mirrors (and some practitioners cautioning against it entirely, an issue we’ll return to).

Here, we examine the feng shui mirror rules that can help bring wealth and prosperity and promote well-being.

Feng Shui Mirror Rules

Feng shui meaning encompasses the idea that human life is connected to the environment. It comes from the Taoist belief in chi, which is the life force present in everything. In feng shui arranging objects and choosing decor has the aim of balancing opposing but complementary yin and yang elements to improve the flow of positive chi, and ward off negative chi.

Why are mirrors important? ‘Mirrors are a powerful tool in feng shui as they are said to double or increase whatever they “see”, but they do need to be used with care,’ says interiors therapy and feng shui expert Suzanne Roynon.

Feng Shui Mirror Rules For The Bedroom

Following feng shui mirror rules for the bedroom can help promote a peaceful night’s sleep and the well-being this brings.

Whether you should have a mirror in your bedroom is disputed in feng shui with some practitioners advising that they shouldn’t be hung in the room. But if you do want a mirror in there (and most of us do), then there are ways to hang one without causing problems according to feng shui.

‘Mirrors in the bedroom should never reflect a bed for two reasons; they invite the energy of a third (and fourth!) person into the relationship and also drain the energy of a sleeper. Position any mirrors so they are angled away from the bed or too high for the occupants to see themselves while sitting or lying in bed,’ says Suzanne Roynon.

Be sure to follow the guidance on feng shui bedroom layout and feng shui bed placement, too, as well as on feng shui bedroom colors for a restful and revitalizing room.
