Convex Bagua Mirror MDF Medium

The Convex Bagua Mirror MDF Medium 12.8 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 medium mirror measures 12.8 × 12.8 cm (0.8 cm thick, about 82 g) — a universal size: it is clearly visible above the door of a flat or house and does not look bulky on a window.

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 Medium 12.8 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.
