There are three types of bagua mirrors pictured above: Concave, Convex and Glass. Concave and Convex bagua mirrors should only be used outside of your home, while glass bagua shaped mirrors may be used inside your home.
Let's start with the glass bagua shaped mirrors. These may be placed on the outside of bathroom doors that are located in the front
entry, adjacent to the kitchen, in the center of the home or even bathroom doors within bedrooms. This mirror will keep the bathroom energy from draining the life/chi out of your opportunities (front door), your food (kitchen) or your sleep (bedrooms). Here's one I like: Small Octagonal Mirror
(5"×5")
Concave mirrors bow in and essentially absorb negative energy that is directed at your home. If a bagua mirror is needed outside the home, I
always recommend using a concave mirror rather than a convex mirror. Here are a couple I like: 4" Wood Bagua Mirror and Yellow Wood Bagua Mirror
Convex mirrors bow out (think of the blind spot mirrors you sometimes see on car side mirrors). These do give a wider perspective or view. However, when you place them outside your home you are deflecting (or bouncing) the energy back, which can be problematic if you have neighbors nearby as it may negatively impact them. This is why I recommend only using CONCAVE bagua mirrors outside the home!
There are specific issues which concave mirrors may remedy, yet only two of those I will share with you here (because anything else really requires feng shui expert advice).
- The first use of a concave mirror would be if there is a radio, electric or cell phone tower very near your home. These electrical towers can cause significant health issues (mental, emotional and physical). To absorb this harmful energy, you would place the CONCAVE bagua mirror outside your home facing the offending tower.
- The second use of a concave mirror is to remedy the offending 5 Yellow Earth Star (part of Flying Stars Feng Shui). This star moves every year. It is the most unlucky of all the stars and may cause sickness, obstacles, bankruptcy, or catastrophes. This year the 5 star is in the WEST so if your home faces WEST, I would recommend placing a CONCAVE Bagua mirror above your front door until early February 2025 (when the star will
fly to a new location). You also want to avoid construction and building improvements here lest projects be delayed, or hidden issues being uncovered or things simply not going smoothly.
Again, there are rare circumstances where I will recommend placing a CONVEX bagua mirror so if you're thinking about doing this, I encourage you to
consult with me.
