Mirrors in the interior of the bedroom
Not everyone can stand the constant vision of their reflection. This fact is very distracting and makes us constantly think about our appearance, about the perception of ourselves by other people. Such meditations will not allow you to focus on something important and productive to rest.
All this leads to a certain conclusion: it is desirable to make the location and abundance of mirrors in the bedroom one that will allow a person staying in it during the rest period not to see his reflection constantly.
In other words, the place for sleeping should not be between the mirrors. Also, the mirror surface should not be located behind the head of the bed and at the feet of the sleeper. Still experts assert, that the mirror above a bed in a bedroom, also will be superfluous. The funny situation is that mirrors are an essential part of the bedroom design, but at the same time it is quite difficult to find the right and convenient location.
Mirror in the bedroom by Feng Shui
The doctrine of feng shui recommends: a mirror (located in any room), which includes the reflection of any negative, must be discarded. Hanging it in another place, and even more so in the bedroom, the situation will not improve. Finding such a mirror in the rest room, can completely deprive sleep. In the opinion of experts, a mirror that is not in accordance with the rules can become an energy vampire.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the mirror is designed for a special, important role. The idea of the role is to properly and logically distribute the energy flows. Therefore, there are strict rules for determining the location and appearance of such an important piece of furniture:
- the absence of sharp angles - the shape should be rounded,
- it must be of a size that would allow itself to be seen in it in full growth,
- a small mirror should display the entire head as a whole,
- the mirror surface should not reflect the sleeper,
- in the mirror, the door (entrance to the bedroom) and the bed must not be reflected at the same time.
In China, it is believed that the most ideal form for a mirror is an octahedron. It, without fail, should be placed on a stand. The main function entrusted to it is protection. It should be on the outside of the house, but in no case inside the living room. It will protect from external negative phenomena.
The shape of the reflecting surface, permissible in the house, must necessarily be round or round. The shape without the presence of sharp corners, will give peace and tranquility. A mirror of this particular form is perfect for balancing energy.
Mirrors in the form of a triangle, a square, a rectangle form an excessively large energy. Being in the bedroom, they will excite the mind and prevent a calm sleep.
If you consider the popular beliefs, you can recommend to refuse:
- from the option of installing the mirror in such a way that it reflects the matrimonial bed,
- from the installation of the mirror opposite the entrance door - the display will prevent the entry into the room of beneficial energy,
- from the installation in the bedroom more than two mirrors.
