Mirrored Fortunes: Optimizing positive energy flow with Vastu Mirror Placement
Author : Deepthi Lunia and Dr. Nischay N Gowda
Abstract
Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian system of design, emphasizes the influence of spatial arrangements on energy flow (chi) within a home. Mirrors, with their reflective properties, are believed to play a significant role in Vastu. This research paper explores Vastu principles for mirror placement in residential spaces. It examines the recommended zones for positive energy amplification (North, North-West, East) and the zones to avoid due to potential disharmony (South, South-East, South-West). Additionally, the paper addresses the importance of avoiding mirror placement opposite the main entrance and using undamaged mirrors. By understanding these Vastu guidelines, homeowners can leverage mirrors to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing, and potentially more harmonious living environment. The paper acknowledges the lack of scientific validation for Vastu and suggests avenues for future research, including studies on the psychological impact of mirror placement within specific Vastu zones.
