Mirrors: The ‘Aspirin’ Of Vastu

Have you ever found yourself waking up in the morning only to feel discomfort in your knees or chest? It can be quite unsettling. Take a moment to think about the layout of your room. Specifically, consider whether the edges of the mirror in your space intersect with your body in any way. This simple observation might reveal the source of your pain.

By paying attention to your surroundings, you may uncover factors contributing to your discomfort, leading to a better understanding of your physical well-being.

Bed position

A bed that faces a mirror is thought to lead to poor sleep quality, restless nights, and an increased likelihood of experiencing bad dreams. The mirror may look good around your bed, but it can bring sick energy into the bedroom if placed incorrectly.

According to Vastu principles, it is highly recommended to position mirrors in a thoughtful manner to boost the flow of positive energy throughout your space. By relocating the mirror to a different area within the room, you can foster a more balanced and harmonious atmosphere. This adjustment can significantly contribute to creating a restful environment that promotes better sleep and overall well-being.

Dining area

It is considered a beneficial practice to position a mirror in such a way that it reflects a dining table. This arrangement is thought to symbolize the doubling of food, which in turn represents an abundance of wealth and prosperity in the home.

However, it is essential to consult with a Vastu expert to ensure that the mirror’s direction and shape align with Vastu principles before making any permanent installations. This step can enhance the positive energy in your space.

Near entrance

Placing a mirror opposite the entrance violates Vastu principles. Positive energy entering your home through the main door gets reflected back out if it hits a mirror. It’s as if the mirror is saying, “We don’t need you here, farewell.” This setup prevents beneficial energy from flowing into your living space. Consequently, one may experience a lack of beneficial opportunities entering their life.

A narrow passage or hallway can significantly restrict the energy flow within that space. This constriction can also impact your own energy levels, potentially leading to health issues. In particular, your lungs may suffer, as the limited passageway in your home mirrors the constricted airways in your body.

When air cannot flow freely, it can lead to discomfort and breathing difficulties. To alleviate this issue, consider widening a narrow entry or hallway by placing mirrors on one or both sides. Mirrors can create an illusion of space, enhancing the flow of energy and promoting a healthier environment.
