Vastu: How Mirrors Influence Money And Health Status

Are you planning to buy a home? If it is an under-construction property, then getting it customised according to your wishes is easier. But, what if it is a ready-to- move-in apartment? It is not easy, but small changes to your ready-to-move-in apartment (where chances of customisation are minimal) can bring in lots of positive energy to the house.

A mirror is a very small object, but it plays an important role in bringing positive energy to your house. It has a significant Vastu component, which is capable of affecting positive as well as negative energy. Traditionally, a mirror is used as looking glass, but few know about an effect it can have on positive and negative energy.  Vastu Shastra classifies mirrors that have the capacity to stagnate and deteriorate energy. So, to lead a comfortable and peaceful life, it is important to place mirrors in appropriate positions and directions.

Applying simple changes in mirror placement could increase wealth in your house. Following are few Vastu tips regarding mirror positions.
