Office

 

Since offices to me are focused around career, wealth and creativity I tend to look for things that will align the room with that purpose.

Home Office - Career

Your home office should emphasize beauty and elegance. Upgrade ugly metal file cabinets to sleek, elegant wooden models. A polished wooden desk with elegant lines is preferable to a boxlike table. Keeping fresh flowers on your desk will attract beautiful work assignments. Substitute harsh overhead lights for table and floor lamps, but be sure to keep a lighting source within arm's reach of your desk. A comfortable work chair is a must; find one that is upholstered in a fabric that is pleasing to the eye and touch. The walls of your office should be painted or papered in a warm, soft color like pink, coral, or peach. Even if you work alone in your home office, keep two extra chairs here. Pretty soon, you'll attract a job opportunity that celebrates your interpersonal skills. Banish any unsightly clutter to storage bins and file drawers. The more pleasant your home office is, the better your work prospects will be.
 

Use office feng shui if you're working from home to maintain a professional approach to your business.
  1. Separate your office from living areas to keep your business and personal lives separate.
  2. Take a short walk before entering your office to work each day and another one at the end of your working day. This separates the business and personal aspects of your life.
  3. Place your desk on the corner diagonally opposite to the doorway or face your desk facing east.  Also remember that you shouldn't have your back to the door.
     

  4. An important aspect of office feng shui is to keep your work space tidy to allow a free flow of energy throughout the room.

 

  1. Differentiate between clutter and storage. Stored items don't have to be catalogued and labeled but they should be stacked neatly in a cupboard or in binders so as not to impede energy flow.

  2. To have great success in your area of business, place a dragon on the right side of your desk, facing toward a window or door. The dragon is a powerful metaphor that stimulates courage and inspiration, and guides the subconscious to effectively chase after success.

  3. Place hanging crystals in sun-lit windows. This is a beautiful way to activate 'chi' and for lifting spirits.


 YOUR WEALTH AREA IN OFFICE FENG SHUI

Using the first bagua placement system, stand in the doorway to your office and locate your wealth area in the upper left hand corner of the room.

Here are some traditional feng shui aids you can use to enhance your wealth area:
  1. Place a picture of a lake, waterfall or any other water scene on one of the walls in your wealth corner. Water represents energy flow.
  2. Use an aquarium or small fountain if you prefer.
  3. Place a green, smooth-leafed plant (e.g., a jade plant) on a shelf in this corner. You can substitute an artificial plant if you tend to neglect live ones. The allusion to growing wealth is obvious.
  4. Place other symbols of wealth in the corner. They can include:
     
    • red eggs symbolizing wealth creation
    • a red envelope containing several coins
    • a crystal on a red ribbon near the window
    • three Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon
    • a pearl or anything spherical (to curb unbridled ambition)
    • a wheel or bell representing power
    • a symbol or picture of red fish symbolizing wealth
    • a lotus flower symbolizing great achievements from humble beginnings
    • In addition, you can place a decorative jar of water near the entrance to your office.
     
  5. Make sure all items in your feng shui wealth areas pertain to wealth. In term of office feng shui, they might include a bookshelf with all your business or wealth creation books, your business computer, your diplomas and business awards.
  6. Add any inspirational pictures, quotes, affirmations, etc. to your area, in other words, anything that moves you to take action.
  7. Use the bagua to determine the wealth area of your desk, your bookshelves and so on. Then place additional symbols there as well.
  8. If fame is a component of your drive to success, you can add some additional items to the fame area of your office:
     
    • any item that's red (representing fire)
    • any item made of wood
    • a conch shell representing a prosperous voyage
    • a wheel or bell representing power
    • a phoenix, rooster or peacock symbolizing good fortune
     
If you want to incorporate the second system of bagua placement, you can add some fame symbols to your south wall and place a plant and a photograph of water to the second wealth area located in the left hand corner of the south wall.
