13 Do’s and Taboos for the Feng Shui Office

Excerpted from Feng Shui Dos & Taboos,by Angi Ma Wong.
Being stuck in an office can be the pits, but learn about the 13 do’s and taboos of feng shui office design and you can feel like you’re working in nature.
- DO sit in the corner farthest from the entrance to the room to have a “command” position.
- DON”T sit in line with the door, as you will be in the path of negative energy.
- DO keep your back toward a corner or a wall for support. If a post protrudes from the corner or wall, correct it by covering it with a hanging plant’s draping foliage.
- DO sit with a tall building behind you to provide the support of a “mountain” if your back is to a window.
- DON”T face away from the door if you are conducting business from home. Business will symbolically come to you through the door, so don’t turn your back on it.
- DON”T arrange your workspace so that you look straight out into a corridor or see the stairs, storage rooms, closets, elevators, escalators, or toilets.
- DO put your computer in the North or West area of your office to enhance your creativity. Place the computer in the Southeast if you use it to generate income.
- DO place an aquarium or tabletop fountain in the East, North, or Southeast. A small aquarium with black or blue fish in the North area of your desk or office will activate your business and career success. Guppies or a single arrowana are ideal for an aquarium made of glass and metal.
- DO place a safe, which is usually constructed of metal, in either West or Northwest, which both represent the metal element. The safe symbolizes the prosperity and financial security of a business.
- DO have a good balance of yin and yang when decorating your workspace. Balance light and dark colors, soft and hard surfaces, and smooth and rough textures in your choice of window treatments, furniture, and flooring.
- DON”T have any mirrors in your office, as they can reflect negative energy from clients to other people in the room. You should always maintain control over the energy in your office.
- DO treat the files in your office with respect. They represent your past, present, and future business.
- DO keep the cords to your office equipment well hidden. This elimate clutter and allows for the free flow of chi.

But you can use Feng Shui to make yourself more comfortable in your cubicle and enhance your career success until you finally move into that corner office you desire.

actually I have question. I have read somewhere that if you put mirror in a position near your dining table that you can see your food in that mirror. That arrangement makes your home always full of food. I have tried that &it gave the positive effect.So I want to ask can we do the same thing for our jwellery locker or safe where we keep our money.

We're designing an office for 10, generally in open cubicles. Windows all face South and we should have good lightening when it's complete. What about colors for carpet, base boards, kitchenette flooring and countertops? Any recommendations?

Nina,
This is a piece of a advice from San Dan Yi;"Try to make these changes in a subtle fashion. Maybe, clean your workspace one week. Then move the desk, or purchase a clear quartz crystal the following week. A few days after you move your desk, add a strategically placed frog and money tree. The flow of Qi will become more vibrant, your co-workers will wonder what happened and you will notice a very positive change in regards to your desired goals."
I hope that this helps you!
