Convex Bagua Mirror MDF Large

The Convex Bagua Mirror MDF Large 15.2 cm is a traditional Feng Shui protective amulet: a flat octagonal MDF panel with a yellow edge, a round convex mirror in the centre and the eight trigrams around it on a red and black field.

The large mirror measures 15.2 × 15.2 cm (0.8 cm thick, about 120 g) and can be seen from afar, so it is chosen for the facade of a house, above the entrance to an office or shop, and when the source of unfavourable energy is large or far away.

Bagua mirror made of MDF

The base of the mirror is made of MDF, a dense wood-fibre board. This mirror is thinner and lighter than models in a raised frame, so it is easy to hang on a door, window frame or wall on a small nail or hook, using the metal ring at the top.

The panel shows the eight Bagua trigrams — three solid or broken lines that represent the basic forces of nature in the Book of Changes (I Ching). Together with the convex mirror they form a classic Feng Shui protective symbol at an affordable price.

Why a convex Bagua mirror

Feng Shui distinguishes convex, concave and flat Bagua mirrors. The convex mirror is considered the gentlest and safest: it does not send negativity back but disperses it to the sides. It is hung to protect the home from so-called "poison arrows" (sha qi) — unfavourable energy which, according to Feng Shui, is created by:

sharp corners of neighbouring buildings pointing at the home;
a straight road or street running directly at the house;
posts, pylons and lone trees opposite the entrance;
roofs and spires "looking" at the windows;
unfavourable buildings opposite — hospitals, cemeteries, landfills.

How to hang a Bagua mirror correctly

The Bagua mirror is a powerful amulet, so it is used with care:

hang the mirror outside — above the front door or on a window, mirror side facing out;
point it at the source of unfavourable energy;
do not hang the mirror inside the home facing into a room;
do not aim the mirror directly at your neighbours' doors and windows.

Care

Wipe the mirror with a soft dry cloth or a glass wipe and avoid abrasive cleaners. If the mirror hangs outdoors, check the fixing from time to time.

A Bagua mirror as a gift

The Convex Bagua Mirror MDF Large 15.2 cm is a useful gift for a housewarming, a move to a new home or the opening of a shop or office. It is given as a wish for protection, peace and well-being.
