Feng Shui @ Work

Feng Shui is the Chinese art of placing different objects like furniture, lighting, mirror, art etc. at home or workplace in a particular manner or style. Based on intuition and common sense, it helps to create harmony, balance and positive energy in the environment surrounding you.

Here are a few points that will help you to organise your workplace and let the positive energy flow your way...

• Always sit facing the door If you sit with your back to the door, it is deemed to be a sign of betrayal. In this position your lady-luck is believed to have deserted you.
  
• Find the power spot in your office The best location for your desk is the far corner diagonal to the entrance. This is the power spot in any office and is most auspicious.

• Sit with your back to the wall A solid wall behind you gives you sense of support. Else you tend to lose the support of your bosses.

• Leave love symbols at home Auspicious symbols like the mou tan flower (or mountain peony) and mandarin ducks are excellent for home, but can cause problems in the workplace. So do not display these romantic energisers at work.

• Do not sit facing a pillar Never have a pillar directly in front of you. This blocks your progress at work. If possible re-orientate your desk so that the pillar is behind you.
  
• Simulate a bright hall If you sit facing a wall, decorate it with prints showing either a wide-opened field or a water scene. This simulates an auspicious "bright hall" and taps the feng shui luck of symbolic water.

• Hang diplomas, awards and certificates to your left side If you do this you will go from strength to strength. Do not place these symbols of your achievements near toilets or where they will be hit by a sharp wall edge.

• Choose your briefcase with care Black is auspicious. According to feng shui, black represents income and money, and when black is combined with metal, the symbolism created is far more auspicious and harmonious. So look for metallic clasps and do choose black.

• Beware of doors in a straight line If there are three doors in a straight line, keep the central door closed at all times.

• Invite prosperity with chinese coins Paste three Chinese coins - yang side up and tied with auspicious red thread - to business books, fax machines, and any other desired place to embellish business luck.

• Place images of water in front of you Never place pictures of water (in any form - rivers, waterfalls, lakes) behind you. If placed behind such a picture signifies missed opportunities.

• Don't let your files block you Never allow files to pile up directly in front of you. Besides showing that you are inefficient and lazy, it blocks opportunities. If at all your desk top is usually stacked with files, place them on either side and leave the centre free
