POSITIONING OF THE MIRROR & ROLE OF VASTU;-
06 FACTS;-
1-Mirrors are the most powerful and at the same time considered as one of the best vastu defect remedy tool. This tool – the mirror – has the ability to attract unimagined fortunes, wealth and happiness, if used as per rules and regulations of vastu shastra.
2-However, if mirrors, in a home violate the rules and guidelines of vastu, then they become a magnet to misfortunes, poverty and unhappiness.
3-Mirror is an important Vastu element which is capable of affecting the positive and negative nature of energy of the place where the mirrors are placed.
4-Vastu Shastra identifies mirrors with capacity to stagnate energy. Therefore if it’s done correctly, the power of mirrors symbolically double our wealth, health and happiness; remember a wrong mirror placement can do a lot of harm.
5-Mirror positions could also ensure happy married life and positive interaction with children.
6-Mirrors are best placed in the living and dining areas. Anything your mirror reflects it will double. Mirror reflecting the food on dining table doubles the food which symbolizes abundance and wealth. DO THE MIRRORS MAGNIFY THE ENERGIES(positive& negative)?
In vastu shastra mirrors are believed to attract and repel positive energy but they suck up/enlarge all the negative energies also . Thus a mirror in a home or any business establishment has the capability of:-
03 FACTS;-
1. Doubling up the prosperity 2. Sending all the positive energies away3. Sucking up all the negative energies(depending upon how and where it’s used. )
1-Doubling Up Wealth;-
If a mirror is placed in front of a cash locker then it represents doubling up of cash. This attracts positive energy and ensures that the financial condition becomes better and better.
2- Keeping Positive Energies Away;-
If a mirror is placed in front of the main door or entrance of a home then it will reflect away all the positive energies that will otherwise enter your home. We must know that maximum amount of energy enters a home or office from the main entrance door; hence we must take necessary action and make the main door or entrance a vastu compliant one.
3-Sucking Up All Negative Energies;-
If a mirror is placed in front of something negative then as per beliefs and principles of vastu shastra, the mirror will suck all the negative energy from that “thing”and magnify it.
3-1-Mirrors have the ability to suck out souls. To avoid this happening mirrors were removed from a room where an ill or dying person lay because they were thought to be more vulnerable to the negative power of a mirror.
3-2-In relation to this, mirrors are believed by many to be portals to the spirit realm and even other dimensions.
When a person died in a room the mirrors had to be covered or turned to face the wall. Failure to do so would result in the deceased person's soul being lost.
3-3-Therefore while placing mirrors in our home or office we must make sure that all mirrors are located in compliance with vastu rules and guidelines so that our home or office attracts and doubles up only positive and progressive energy.
