Guide to Using Feng Shui in Business

Choosing An Office Space

Some key points in choosing an office space are:

1. Choose an office building with a wealth-attracting fountain inside or outside its entrance.

2. Choose an office that does not face the elevator doors or is not right next to the elevator or stairway. This will help to avoid being the prime target of negative energy, and will help to keep prosperity in.

3. It is best to avoid an office building with reflective windows. Wealth and prosperity have a hard time entering a reflective building.

4. Stay away from offices positioned on top of the parking garage. The movement of the cars coming and going causes instability in the business.

5. Choose an office building with a large foyer, as this gathers good energy and buffers against negative energy.

Do It Yourself

Although nothing can take the place of a good Feng Shui professional, there are some things you can do to for yourself to make the best use of your current business space.

1. Position your desk in the “place of power,” which is the area farthest back from the door and facing the inside of the room. Be sure the desk is not directly in front of the door.

2. Have a good chair with high back and arms to support your back and on each side.

3. On the wall behind your chair hang art that represents a strong mountain (we call this the tortoise that gives stability). Some people like to put a good picture of their bank in that position. Personally, I like the idea of a picture of Fort Knox.

4. Be sure that you have something taller on your left than on your right. This gives you a good “dragon” for wisdom, and “tiger” for self-control.

5. Keep the area in front of you as open as possible and hang beautiful art on that wall. This gives you your “red bird” which is a powerful and prosperous future.

6. Make sure that all your plants are healthy and well fed and watered with proper light. The healthy wood energy brings growth and stability.

7. Keep as much open space as possible in your office so that the chi can move through and not stagnate.

8. Have your furniture be the appropriate size for your space; not too large or too small.

9. If you are forced to sit with your back to the door at any time, place a mirror in front of you so that you can see your door.

10. Soften or round out any sharp corners pointing at you.

The preceding recommendations are a few that can be implemented safely from the Landform School of Feng Shui (or the “space” part of Time-Space), which is one part of the Feng Shui picture. Another part of the picture is the Compass School that includes the direction and “time” part of Time-Space School. This is the more analytic aspect of Feng Shui that involves calculation and logic.
