Nightly Rituals: Covering Mirrors
Transition: Initially skeptical, I found myself intrigued one evening as conversation turned to the practice of covering mirrors at night.
Cultural and Superstitious Roots
In many traditions, mirrors symbolize more than physical appearances; they reflect souls, leading to the belief that covering them safeguards one’s spirit during sleep. This practice is especially prevalent during mourning periods, signifying respect for the deceased and maintaining focus on internal grieving processes.
Feng Shui and Energy Balance
Transition: Beyond cultural beliefs, Feng Shui principles also influence this ritual.
In Feng Shui, mirrors hold significant energy-doubling properties. Covering them at night helps maintain harmony and tranquility in the bedroom environment, conducive to restful sleep.
