The Earliest Uses of Mirrors for Feng Shui

Most folks appreciate the fact that Feng Shui is a science of balancing the five elements namely water, fire, wood, earth and metal. When brought together, these elements can either enhance or annihilate one another. For instance, wood enhances fire but water can kill fire. Hence, these elements should completely be in harmony with each other for the true meaning of Feng Shui.

In the early times, the mirrors were commonly used in Feng Shui to bring in the metal element. For example a room which had more of earth (like the earthy hues or live plants) could be balanced by introducing the metal in a convenient way.

Hence the introduction of mirrors in Feng Shui helped in negating the excess of the earth element and could make the room look brighter and sunnier- as all know sun and earth really complement each other.

Use of mirrors in Modern Feng Shui

Nevertheless, these days there is a world of difference between the use of mirrors in the early ages and the modern day. The difference is that the modern day mirrors are normally not made of metal anymore, instead are made of modified plastic and chemicals. They just act like a “placebo” or just fake substitutes for the metal element.

So, the question arises, how do we use mirrors in the modern day Feng Shui? Simply put, mirrors are reflectors of light which in turn creates positive energy and warmth. They also help in lighting up the dark corners and reducing the cavern like appearance of the corners which do not get enough light. Mirrors also make the room look bigger than it really is.

Mirrors are also used in Feng Shui as ornamental objects; the real Feng Shui says that the art is not used for anything spiritual, but only the aesthetic value. Therefore, mirrors are nothing but beautiful, decorative props which can make a room look warmer and cozier in the cold winter nights by reflecting the glow of candles or the fire place. One should not think of mirrors as metal elements anymore.

Finally, in case you are using mirrors for Feng Shui, then please understand that you will need to include a separate metal element; however you can still use them in a dimly lit room where some light is needed or dark corners which need some light.
