The Feng Shui Office
Excerpted from Feng Shui Dos & Taboos,by Angi Ma Wong.
Here are 13 tips for the do's and taboos of feng shui office design,
with more available in Feng Shui Dos & Taboos (see below).
- DO sit in the corner farthest from the entrace to the room to
have a "command" position.
- DON"T sit in line with the door, as you will be in the
path of negative energy.
- DO keep your back toward a corner or a wall for support. If
a post protrudes from the corner or wall, correct it by covering
it with a hanging plant's draping foliage.
- DO sit with a tall building behind you to provide the support
of a "mountain" if your back is to a window.
- DON"T face away from the door if you are conducting business
from home. Business will symbolically come to you through the
door, so don't turn your back on it.
- DON"T arrange your workspace so that you look straight
out into a corridor or see the stairs, storage rooms, closets,
elevators, escalators, or toilets.
- DO put your computer in the North or West area of your office
to enhance your creativity. Place the computer in the Southeast
if you use it to generate income.
- DO place an aquarium or tabletop fountain in the East, North,
or Southeast. A small aquarium with black or blue fish in the
North area of your desk or office will activate your business
and career success. Guppies or a single arrowana are ideal for
an aquarium made of glass and metal.
- DO place a safe, which is usually constructed of metal, in
either West or Northwest, which both represent the metal element.
The safe symbolizes the prosperity and financial security of a
business.
- DO have a good balance of yin and yang when decorating your
workspace. Balance light and dark colors, soft and hard surfaces,
and smooth and rough textures in your choice of window treatments,
furniture, and flooring.
- DON"T have any mirrors in your office, as they can reflect
negative energy from clients to other people in the room. You
should always maintain control over the energy in your office.
- DO treat the files in your office with respect. They represent
your past, present, and future business.
- DO keep the cords to your office equipment well hidden. This
elimate clutter and allows for the free flow of chi.
