The traditional Bagua mirror is an crucial part of Feng Shui decor and design. This authentic Chinese Bagua mirror features the traditional 8 sided trigram frame, and the concave reflective surface to reverse negative energy. Made of shiny metal rather than glass, the Bagua mirror is tough enough to weather the elements without breaking.

The Bagua mirror is always used on the outside of your home or office, unless you are in an apartment where you can not access the outside walls of the building. In that case, you would hang the bagua mirror in the window facing out.

Placement of the mirror depends on which Feng Shui cure is needed. If you place it on the out side of your door, you deflect Sha Chi (negative energy) trying to enter. If a neighboring building has a corner pointing at yours building, that is considered a “poison arrow” that brings Sha Chi. The cure is then to put a Bagua mirror on the outside wall of your building where the poison arrow would hit, to deflect the Sha Chi. If you live at a T junction, or other type on intersection, you may need to hang a Bagua mirror on a tree trunk or external wall to deflect the Sha Chi from the road.

This Bagua mirror is so affordable, you can buy as many as you need to cure your Feng Shui problems.

They make great gifts as well!

Feng Shui or Fengshui is the ancient Chinese art of home and office decor. Today people from all over the universe are discovering the benefits of this Asian wisdom. The system used to create a pleasant and peaceful home, and a productive prosperous work environment, is one that understands the flow and balance of energy in a given space. This energy is called Chi, and is considered vital for health on every level: physical, mental, spiritual, and economical.

To achieve a balance of energies from the five elements, water, wood, fire, planet earth, and metal, one must have them each proportionally represented in a room.

To be sure that Chi flows at the right pace and in best pathways, without stagnating or overwhelming any particular place in a room or home, refer to the above mentioned article.

With a little bit of knowledge, you can improve the well being of occupants in any space using the Feng Shui principles. Not only does it work to improve your health, it also improves your relationships and makes your decor more beautiful.

The frameless mirror with beveled edges is a great decor concept. The beveled edges give it a finished and framed look, without adding a frame that may not match your decor scheme. Leaving the mirror frameless means that no mater what color pallet your room decor employs, this mirror will always match it. The reflected light will give the mirror's edges the color of the adjacent wall or decor items. Ingenious!

This mirror is 24 inches by 36 inches, and comes with the hooks bonded to the back of the mirror. This means that there won't be any hardware visible when you hang it. All hardware is included.

The mirror is of a good size and shape to facilitate grooming, and to check your self before leaving the home. For this reason, it would be equally fitting in either your bathroom, dressing room, or entrance hallway. Additionally, the mirror will help to make a small space feel bigger, and a dark room feel brighter.

This room can be used to reflect the top of your stove in the kitchen, doubling your prosperity according to Feng Shui principles. The mirror would also be well placed if it (by way of a window) reflected a mature and healthy tree growing in your yard. If the tree has round green broad leaves, that is even better. Reflecting that image may increase your prosperity, and your families growth.
