Placement depends on what way your front door opens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So, my suggestion is, as your door opens place it on the facing wall, allowing the positive energy from the outside to reflect off the mirror and bounce around the house.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As well as the rules of Fung Shui, in a lot of cultures having a mirror in this position is considered back luck and taboo.<\/p>\n<p>There are also design issues with choosing the place a mirror in front of your bed.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting an object as large as a bed can &#8216;draw the room inward,&#8217; making it appear smaller and more cramped.<\/p>\n<p>John Cutts, founder of Me and My Glass, explained: &#8216;From a design point of view, your mirror shouldn\u2019t really face your bed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you\u2019re a bit of a messy person the mirror is only going to amplify your unmade bed along with any other clutter you may have on there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The reflection of a big bed can also make your room appear smaller. To maximise the use of a mirror in the bedroom and help the space to look bigger, you\u2019ll want to make sure the mirror is reflecting natural light.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT IS FENG SHUI?<\/h3>\n<p>Based on the teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, feng shui (meaning wind and water) is dubbed &#8216;acupuncture for the home&#8217; because it benefits your health through opening up channels in your environment where energy can flow.<\/p>\n<p><span>How does it work?<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A feng shui consultant analyses your home or workplace and advises how &#8216;chi&#8217; or energy can circulate through your home more freely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If your apartment or office is small and compact, he might introduce the impression of space through hanging mirrors &#8211; where &#8216;chi&#8217; can bounce off the glass and circulate the room.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, a practitioner might install potted plants into a room. According to Raymond Catchpole, chair of the Feng Shui Society, money plants are particularly helpful in unblocking energy because it absorbs harmful ions in our environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2019\/04\/12\/15\/12197742-0-image-a-1_1555080275923.jpg\" height=\"330\" width=\"586\"><\/p>\n<p>Based on the teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, feng shui (meaning wind and water) is dubbed &#8216;acupuncture for the home&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The air we breathe is made up of two different types of electrically charged particles called ions &#8211; negative ions and positive ions,&#8217; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, the negative ions are better for us than the positive ones because oxygen consists of negative ions and nitrogen of positive ones.<\/p>\n<p>There needs to be a correct balance of positive and negative ions in the air to keep us healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the negative ions become depleted in any way we will be breathing in less oxygen.
