Best Feng Shui for Your Desk
Adapted from The Feng Shui Companion, by George Birdsall (Inner Traditions, 1997).
The placement and layout of your desk is critical to the energy flow of your office. A few simple but crucial rules can help you to function more effectively–and less stressfully–at work.
Read this simple but powerful advice for your work desk here:
In an office layout, it is important to be able to see the door of your office so that you are not “stabbed in the back” with “arrows” or “daggers” of chi. This is one of the more common-sense applications of feng shui. If your back is exposed, and people approach you from behind when you are concentrating, then you may suddenly become “frightened”–which can make you feel ungrounded and disjointed.
If your back is facing the door and you can’t move your desk, the cure is a bright object, such as a crystal, small makeup-mirror, or mirror-framed picture.
And did you know that your desk has different baguas just like your house or room? This means that, as you face your desk, the far left corner is the prosperity section. This might be a good place for a thriving potted plant, a gold object, or a wind chime.

add your comment »Im a receptionist. My desk is the first thing you see when you walk into our lobby. Im wondering what would be the best way to mention and get an approval to rearrange my area in the lobby. Considering I work for the Chinese perhaps they would understand Feng Shui better than most. But how do I mention redecorating without over stepping my position boundaries?

Does the plant, object etc need to be placed on the desk or to the left of it?

where my 'desk' / kitchen table sets (yes I use the kitchen table cause I don't have room for a desk in my apt.) my front door is to my left and I have a hanging plant outside the door and a wooden chine, plus I have a brass, not gold elefent (sp?) that hangs from the chain lock with the trunk up and facing the door (I heard that it has to be up and facing the door for the wealth to stay in your home, down means your loosing money) SO I sort of have all these things but no prosperity is coming in. Could it be because two of these things are outside the door and one is inside?
