How To Feng Shui Your Office For Optimal Business SuccessDo corporation cutbacks or the small funds in small business have you working in a cramped office? According to feng shui, spending your work day in a crowded office isn’t good for business or personal productivity. If you’d like to give both a boost, try these tips and feng shui your office. Your Ideal Feng Shui Office If you could choose the most feng shui oriented office, you would want the following:
If you’re in a cubicle or if, right off the bat, you don’t have windows or a door; there are ways to feng shui your office space anyway. Try to implement as many of the following as you can, without too much crowding or cramping of your own personal style. Your Desk Move your desk to a position in which you are facing the door. This will keep business coming toward you. Try to put your desk in a corner if you can, facing outward. To avoid the flow of negative energy, however, don’t put yourself in the direct path of the door or have your immediate view fall upon closets, stairs, elevators, or escalators when you look up from your desk. If you can, have a wall behind your chair. This will give you the ‘support of a mountain’ as you do your work. If you have a window behind you, a tall building outside will give you the same feng shui effect as a wall. If there are any posts or irregular protrusions in the wall behind your chair, cover it with something alive, like a hanging plant. In fact, hanging plants are a great way to cover any protrusions, pipes, columns, or other awkward aesthetic features in your office. In this way, you fend off the negative energy they shoot at your desk. Now you are sitting in a power position! Increasing the Positive Flow of Chi This is really the main goal of utilizing feng shui in your office. Plants are a good start for keeping the good chi flowing and to combat the effects of negative energy. Make sure you keep an odd number of plants (as opposed to even). Fish are a good touch as well, and a fountain near the entrance will do wonders to bring in the positive energy to keep you motivated and your business coming in the door instead of going out.
