Those who trust Feng Shui, who try to harmonize environments based on the flow of vital energy (cha), when they decorate their home, often have doubts about mirrors. This is because there are many myths and taboos around these objects, especially if used in the room or at the entrance of the house.
However, the architects Belisa Mitsuse (Bel) and Estefânia Gamez (Tef), the members of Btliê Arquitura and the specialists of the Chinese millennium technique, explain that there is no reason not to use them. “For the lineage we follow, which is the Feng Shui of Tibetan Buddhism, there is no contraindication. The important thing is to understand the function that this mirror will perform and guarantees that it reflects a complete and clear image”, explains Belisa.
Experts also explain that mirrors can have several advantages, such as visually expanding spaces, correct energy blocks and even act as a therapeutic tool, provided that it is positioned correctly and chosen with care.
“It can be used to” complete “the missing areas of the plant, expand narrow passages, attract more light or reflect important elements of the house, such as the stove”, Belisa detail.

Mirrors: myths and care
It is said that Feng Shui prohibits mirrors in the rooms. Not entirely, according to professionals, but you have to take care. The main one is that the mirror must reflect the entire body of the person, or at least on top of the head.
“If the image is cut, the brain records this distortion. Seeing yourself without a head or with the fragmented image can generate insecurity, discouragement or feeling of loss of control,” he explains.
In addition, the architect recommends avoiding low quality mirrors. “The very subtle or that deform the reflection transmit unconscious messages that there is something wrong in the reflected image”, warns Estefânia.
In addition, another recommendation is to avoid models with geometric divisions that fragment the reflection. “When the person sees himself” in pieces “, this affects the car -testimone and can have an impact on his emotional balance,” he adds.
When the use is correct, the mirror can be very useful. It can also strengthen the sense of command in the environment. For Feng Shui, the command position is the one that allows a wide view of space and those that enter or outside the room.
But be careful! Only real mirrors should appear in Feng Shui. “Tanned glasses, mirrored films or the surfaces that distort the image do not produce the desired energy effect. The brain must be” deceived “with the real depth of the mirror”, explains Estefânia.

- First of all, avoid the mirrors that cut the person’s head or body

- Do not use fragmented mirrors or with cut frames
