Work, career, office - this is a significant part of our lives: we spend at least one third of the day at the workplace. The well-being and accessibility of other pleasures of life depends on the success of our activities. Besides the fact that work brings money, it should bring pleasure, and not vice versa; career passions should not deprive us of health and good mood. And this is a worthy argument in favor of making the time-consuming pastime as pleasant and useful as possible. Not the last role in this matter is played by the "organization of the workspace." At least that is what Feng Shui philosophy says, and in the East they know a lot about the “nature of things”!

Life-giving flows of qi

What to do, space also needs to be organized! And if you correctly arrange all the components of the workflow, then luck and success, according to the assurances of ancient transcripts, will fall upon you with the whole burden of their good deeds. In the face of such prospects, it seems already possible to strain up and rearrange all your daddies and vases so that the benevolent energy of qi circulates correctly. However, when we get to specific actions, it turns out that our Russian spaces are very poorly suited for life-giving energy flows: small rooms, not always originally adapted for offices, an abundance of sharp corners and a faceless design can ruin any sensible idea, even such a clearly constructed one as a fan shui.

Nevertheless, you will avoid many troubles if you manage to settle down correctly: for example, avoiding places under the ceiling beam or bookshelf - so that nothing will “crush”, and also moving away from all kinds of postings - cords - cables (outflow of money).

Zone issue

For things to go uphill, you need to place a workplace in the zone of career and success. This zone can only be identified with a compass in hand, since it is located in the north and southeast. The task is complicated by the fact that it is desirable to sit at the table, looking in this direction. Such a fortress, it must be said, is far from every office, let alone an apartment, can withstand. But it’s better, according to Feng Shui masters, to sit looking in a different direction than with your back to the door. However, the "back to door" position is unacceptable for Feng Shui in any case - it is called the "knife in the back" and it is believed that an employee sitting with his back to the door can be substituted, betrayed, "survive" from the team.

It’s best if there is a wall behind your back.   It guarantees you support, unlike, for example, a window - a window behind your back also adversely affects your career: in this case, all your energy “flies away”.

If your workplace is in the corner, it’s better to place the table diagonally in the corner: this way you “neutralize” the action of both windows and doors.

Those who are near

should not be directly opposite you. Our offices like to arrange tables so that the employees are opposite each other. Thus, you find yourself in a position where your views are constantly crossed with a colleague, and this leads to a subconscious confrontation. And if the one sitting opposite you is also your boss, promotion certainly can not be expected.

  It is best to have a superior management behind you, even if its location is located in several rooms.

The presence of significant figures behind the back provides a strong rear and symbolizes support from influential people.

It's all about size

The size of the table is also of no small importance: it determines the current status and signals about promising opportunities. Feng Shui advises senior executives to purchase a table at least one and a half meters in length and a meter in width. Smaller sizes seem to underestimate your status, while larger ones hint at unfounded claims. Leaders have a lower rank and the table should be correspondingly smaller.

The only exception is the secretaries, they can afford to have any table, as they sit all the time “head over heels” in papers.

Within reach

should be everything that may be needed in the process. Excess items are best removed in cabinets with tight-fitting doors. It does not hurt to clean up your workplace. The clutter of space deprives a person of clarity of thought and creative creativity. Ruthlessly part with unnecessary papers, pieces of paper and paper, according to the philosophy of Feng Shui, they provoke a stagnation in business. And all that is needed, store in bright folders (preferably red or blue) or in drawers on the table.

In the right corner   it’s nice to arrange a green houseplant that will take on all the negative energy coming from other parts of the room. BUT in the far left corner   You can put a table lamp or a shiny metal object - to attract financial success.

When a Chinese entrepreneur thinks about where to start his own business, he first of all pays attention to the feng shui of the workplace and wants to learn more about its history. Although we also strive to ensure that our office is located in the most advantageous and favorable place (which is quite natural), this is especially important for the Chinese.

Sometimes it’s important that the store or office is located in a busy area where there is lively trade. The cleanliness and well-groomed streets also play an important role, however, a thorough examination takes into account not only these external factors, but also the history of the place and business prospects.

A good example of the successful use of Feng Shui in the business are Café McDonald's. The buildings in which they are located fit perfectly into the environment, and on the other hand, they themselves are visible from afar. Having entered inside, the visitor first of all will see a counter and cash desk. He will only have to pay the money and start eating.

If the store has moved many times from one owner to another, or only a few companies have succeeded in achieving success in this office building, then you should think again and look for another offer. On the other hand, the owner can sell the premises, because his business is so successful that even in spite of the convenient office space, he has to open a larger or prestigious office. Such an offer can be very favorable, and, from the point of view of customers, some positive qualities of the previous owner will inevitably make them treat the new owner with more sympathy - at least at first.

Main and administrative offices should always be located in the dominant parts of the company and at the same time so that employees and customers can easily reach them. Everyone will feel the benefit from the fact that the entire enterprise will be felt as one, and the different departments will work harmoniously towards the main common goal.

All these are just fragments of the overall picture that should be drawn up. However, the feng shui specialist goes even further. He avoids opening a new business in the neighborhood of a place closely related to death - for example, near a cemetery or funeral home. He makes sure that the environment is favorable not only to business development, but also to the health of employees. He evaluates the external and internal aspects, the arrangement of the four celestial animals, the harmony of the five elements and the favorable directions in the same way as he does for his home. Feng Shui business venture depends on Feng Shui home of its owner, and vice versa.

The geographical location of the building is of great importance, and those external factors that affect private homes and apartments, in the same way affect the offices. For example, an office building should not stand at a T-shaped or U-shaped crossroads, as this creates a powerful channel for flows sha qi.

The U-shaped configuration is especially dangerous because the traffic is combined with the "secret arrow". In addition, the facade of the office building should not look at the corner of the building opposite. Energy sha qicreated by "secret arrows" can be rejected in various ways, including mirrors, symbols, crystals, bells and the like.

In the trading floor, it will be wise to orient the interior elements obliquely from the entrance: instead of being located along the walls, shelves and display cases will stand at different angles diagonally. This is also useful because it encourages visitors to roam the trading floor, in contrast to the rectangular configuration, where angles can become problematic areas of stagnation.

Mirrors, bells and other wall decorations to some extent reflect the harmful effects sha qi   and improve the circulation of energy in the room. A comfortable and attractive environment can be created using temporary partitions and gratings with ornamental plants; You can even install a small fountain in the center of the hallway or lobby. All this serves as a natural barrier to an ordinary sight, which opens further and most often represents an elevator hall or stairs and corridors.

Summing up the assessment of the location of office buildings and premises, we can list several general recommendations that should be considered when choosing an office or retail outlet.

• Do not set up an office in a building with mirrored windows. The beneficial energy that contributes to business success is difficult to penetrate into such a building.
• Avoid offices in pyramidal buildings. Triangular shapes hold negative energy and limit the flow of positive energy. This is especially true for the upper floors, where the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises decreases and the walls move.
• If the office is located indoors above the garage, it is unfavorable for work. Active movement below undermines the stability of the business.
• You should not have an office in a building where the area of \u200b\u200bthe upper floors exceeds the area of \u200b\u200bthe lower. This predicts financial troubles or the tough dominance of superiors over employees.
• The office should not be located in the room, which is located at the end of a long corridor.
• Buildings where elevators are located directly opposite the main entrance are unfavorable for offices.
• Do not place your office next to the elevator or stairs that you frequently use. Wealth will flow through your fingers.
• If the office is located opposite the elevator, during working hours a flow of destructive energy is directed at it.
• It is good when the office has a spacious entrance hall, which serves as a buffer for negative energy from the outside.
• A small fountain opposite the office entrance (inside or outside) creates auspicious feng shui.
• Retail outlets are best placed in buildings with balconies and verandas.
• The room in which retail trade is carried out should not have huge display cases that start from the floor level. When a point of sale is too open, profits begin to flow out of it. Large display cases need to be covered with curtains, allowing you to adjust the level of lighting and attention from the outside.
• Awnings are favorable for retailers as they provide protection against negative energy.

And in order to give your activity greater efficiency, you need to properly organize your workplace. In Feng Shui, the Chinese system of harmonious construction of space, the arrangement of a place intended for work or study, very much attention is paid. The creation of favorable interiors, the activation of the corresponding energies by the methods of this science allow the entrepreneur to become a millionaire, and the student a solid excellent student. So in the economic miracles demonstrated by the countries of the East: Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and China itself, where feng shui is part of the national culture, there is actually nothing inexplicable. Fortunately, the Chinese do not have the exclusive right to use Feng Shui, so that we can derive quite tangible benefits by listening to the advice born from a thousand-year observation of the world.

In Feng Shui, the Chinese system of harmonious organization of space, the arrangement of a place intended for work, very much attention is paid. The art of Feng Shui helps to meaningfully place emphasis in your life to achieve the desired success in the business sphere through the application of various techniques in your daily life. One such technique is the use of influences. ba gua. In accordance with the practice of feng shui. any space, in particular an office, can be divided into several sectors relative to the location of the main entrance of the office. Each sector has its own purpose and carries a certain information load, depending on what is located in it. The figure shows the distribution of sectors of an office consisting of one room.

The main entrance is always on the side of this square.

The distribution of furnishings among the various sectors of the premises, as well as the mutual arrangement of the workplaces of team members, significantly affect the progress of the whole team towards achieving the set goal. Particular attention must be paid to the location of the manager’s workplace - the success of the entire project depends on his location. It is very favorable to place the leader’s table in the zone of wealth or career, while the rest of the employees should not be placed opposite him: sooner or later this will cause a confrontation between the team and its leader, which ultimately will negatively affect the results.

If you work at home, you should not work in the same room where you sleep.

A workplace that meets all the requirements of Feng Shui is the key to success, a successful career, an excellent education and well-being. Moreover, for the arrangement of the office in the office or at home, practically the same rules apply. However, at home, you need to pay attention to the maximum removal of the workspace from the rest and sleep areas (of course, as far as the conditions of your home allow), since they require different energies: active, Yang forces are needed for work, and for relaxation, on the contrary, calm , yin. This aspect is especially important when it comes to the child. Without a doubt that our bedrooms and offices should be in different rooms, for some reason we refuse this to children, believing that they can perfectly manage with one room for sleeping, and for games, and for study. Unfortunately, often we do not have the opportunity to do otherwise. In this case, it’s worth trying to distinguish between different purpose spaces inside one room with the help of lighting (intense in the work area and muffled in the rest area) or the same decorative grilles with climbing or ampelous plants. Use color solutions (bright, warm colors stimulate activity, while cold colors soothe) or use other, objective possibilities (room geometry, furniture, that is, for example, to fence off a place for a bookcase).

Care should be taken to exclude the possibility of negative effects from sharp corners and ceiling beams.

The main principles of creating a favorable atmosphere for work are stability, safety and security (stability implies the presence of a permanent, carefully thought-out workplace, which is designed to balance the shapes and colors of the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth and metal). For example, the interior a classic English study requires a brownish-red color, rectangular-squat furniture, on the one hand, and an abundance of de-sandy surfaces, on the other, which leads to a conflict of earth and wood energies. To restore the productive cycle, you need to add the energy of metal and water standing between the ground and the tree, it can be a carpet in white and blue tones, metal lamps or decorative elements, an aquarium, for example. By the way, an aquarium with fish will not hurt in any office, since the energy of moving water is believed to increase well-being, especially if you place an aquarium in a corner.

Never sit with your back to a door or window. Remember that your back must be well protected. When equipping your workplace, try to sit with your back to the wall or to something solid, stable. If there is a window or open space behind, this will indicate a lack of support. When you try to sit down so that you feel support from behind, you will feel that it is easier for you to concentrate on your work and less distract external circumstances.

Safety in the work area, as well as in any other part of the house, means the absence of aggressive elements aimed at the person. Most often, there are sharp corners of walls and furniture, overhanging ceiling beams, as well as massive vertical blinds, in the open state resembling sharpened blades. If these problems cannot be dealt with radically, then you can try to camouflage poisonous objects using furniture, screens, plants or special Feng Shui products. It is important to remember that some massive aggressive construction located opposite your window can also strike, in which case you need to close the window with a curtain that would transmit light enough, but would impair visibility.

Before your eyes should be open space. With regard to security, it is based on the principle of four animals, which Feng Shui experts are guided by when choosing a place for home. Four animals are the Turtle (a large, stable object) at the back, the Tiger and the Dragon (slightly smaller stretched barriers) to the right and left, and the Phoenix (open space) in front.

Do not place your table directly on the line between the door and the window. Also, do not allow the cabinet door to be in front of the toilet or stairs.

Based on this rule, one can come up with the main warning of Feng Shui: never sit with your back to the window, much less to the door. The back is the most vulnerable spot of a person. Without an eye on the back of our heads, we cannot know what is happening behind us, and therefore we cannot confidently and calmly, with maximum concentration, go about our business. Therefore, try to arrange the desktop in such a way that the back is protected by a wall, a cabinet (only not with open shelves) or some other object. It is desirable that the shape of the chair - with a high back and armrests - correspond to the principle of four animals. In addition, a mountain landscape hanging from behind can provide protection at a subconscious level, provided that there is no water on it.

However, quite often it happens that it is not possible to comply with this principle. In this case, you should try to switch your attention, concentrating it on something pleasant, beautiful, bright, causing you positive emotions. It can be a plant, an aquarium, a picture, and so on, the choice of the subject is up to you.

Cabinets with open shelves and any other aggressive furniture should also be avoided.

Now about the boss’s office: he must be respectable. Stir it best in the north-western sector of the office - the sector of the owner. Behind the leader’s back there must certainly be a wall that provides support and support. It is unacceptable to sit with your back to the window. The style decision of the cabinet can be the most varied, and best of all, when it corresponds to the attitude of its owner. The only thing that can be recommended regarding style is to remember that aggression breeds aggression. Try to refrain from posting images of aggressive animals or other objects that cause an aggressive feeling in your office. They will attract into your life situations and people with whom you will have to enter into a more or less serious struggle. And the last thing the manager wants to wish is to remember the symbols of his wealth and also place them in his office. The most accessible of them are banknotes. Put one or more silver coins on your writing instrument. Put a few coins or notes of any denomination in each drawer of your desktop and cabinet. To the place will be souvenirs depicting monetary symbols, or other symbols of wealth. Remind yourself that you are rich and that money will remember you.

In order for your efforts to work or study not to be in vain, in addition to a stable and safe position, your workplace needs fruitful energy. In order to ensure the positive qualities of the energy entering the office, its door should in no case be opposite the toilet, the entrance to another room or stairs. It is good if the door is located in the center or on the left side of the cabinet wall (when looking from the outside), since these points correspond to aspects of career and knowledge. And the cabinet itself is preferable to organize in the front of the house or on the first floor, if there are several, so the largest amount of energy will flow into it.

Influences ba gua To assess the desktop space: Family, Career and New Directions zones are located on the side where you are sitting. To attract success in business, it is favorable to have on the desktop any objects in black or blue. In the Wealth zone, it is very successful to have a small metal box with several coins. In this case, you will always be at the "financial peak". And to maintain calm in family and personal life, it is favorable to have photographs of relatives and friends in the Family zone. Try to avoid blockage from folders and documents on the table, otherwise your business life will be nervous and disorganized.

The direction of the desktop (it is determined by the direction your face is facing when you are sitting at it) is as important for successful work as the direction of the bed during sleep. It can be precisely calculated by a specialist, however, the northeast is generally considered favorable for children. The table itself should be large enough and stable, even if it is intended for the child, as otherwise its owner may lose confidence.

The correct position corresponds to the place of “honored guest” in the living room, when a person sitting on a chair or in an armchair can look around the whole room, see what is happening around and follow the entrance and exit. Another possibility is to place the table diagonally in the corner of the room with a view of the door. If there are two desks in the office, then the diagonal configuration is ideal. It gives both employees an advantageous position in relation to the door and to each other - that is, they are not forced to constantly exchange views, which creates confrontation. In addition to the above, this arrangement of tables resembles the shape of an octagon ba gua.

If for any reason (especially in the office where there is only one table) it is impossible to arrange the person to sit facing the door, hang a mirror on the wall in front of the table, preferably to the right of the person sitting. At least that way he will see who enters the room.

An open-plan office can sometimes occupy an entire floor of a building and contain 20-30 work desks. In such cases, it is unreasonable to unify the space of an office space; Screens and partitions are used to create walkways and small “cabinet” zones. However, in each fenced area, the desktop should occupy the most advantageous position. The advantage of an open plan is the use of hanging pots with creeping and climbing plants, paintings and mirrors at strategic points, as well as the ability to quickly change the passage / corridor pattern.

You should not purchase antique furniture if you are not sure about its past. In general, it is desirable that the furniture that you use to create a workplace is new. Antique furniture may well store bad, even destructive energy, so if you do not know its origin, it is better not to risk it. However, this, as well as the recommendation to avoid too gloomy furniture with aggressive geometry, applies to any, not only working interiors.

Make sure that the table is always in order, do not forget that work should be a pleasure. The clutter and trash on the desktop will result in confusion in business, so make sure that crumpled papers, broken pencils, food debris and other extraneous things do not lie on it. Put a dragon figure on its left edge, and in front of it is a crystal, and these two powerful Feng Shui symbols (together with everything that we have already done) will definitely bring you success.

Most office buildings have two main elements: the offices themselves, or rooms where employees work, and the corridors connecting them. Many modern office buildings are being built according to an open plan, but in most cases we are still dealing with the usual structure of rooms and corridors.

The basic principles and suggestions regarding corridors in a residential building apply in the same way here. In general, it should be remembered that too many doors in one corridor are confusing, and the doors themselves should be arranged at regular intervals and not look at each other, since in the long run this causes subconscious antagonism and a sense of hostility.

Where it is not possible to achieve an ideal door arrangement, you can use mirrors and decorative plants to mitigate the negative effects. In addition, the interior of the corridor can be improved with wall lamps and cladding materials.

Since the office is intended for active work, the beginning should prevail here yang. In particular, the possible effects of energy should be considered. yin   from neighboring vacant buildings or places that are traditionally associated with excess yin. The color scheme of the rooms should be neutral in color, since the level of energy from active people, not to mention computers, printers, copiers, telephones and so on, automatically leads to a predominance yang. However, bright, vibrant areas in the form of pictures, photographs, and other small objects provide useful stimulation.

Remember that if the office building has a relaxation room or a special area where employees can meet for a relaxed conversation, a more relaxed atmosphere should be maintained there. Workloads often lead to stress, so it’s useful to have a “safe haven” where a person can relax and gather his thoughts.

Let's talk a little about the shape of office furniture and the color scheme. The black desk slows down the reaction and dulls the attention, while the wooden tables of lighter colors create a feeling of reliability and contain growth potential. The size of the table should be convenient enough: not too large so that the employee does not have to reach for the papers, but not too small so that he does not feel left out. A square or rectangular table symbolizes the support of the Earth element. A round or semicircular table is best for those who are engaged in creative work.

Reflecting surfaces or mirrors in the immediate vicinity of the table are unfavorable from the point of view of Feng Shui, as they "double" the amount of work that needs to be done. An exception may be the case when you are forced to sit with your back to the door or window, then it is recommended that you place a mirror opposite you.

High stacks of folders and documents also have a depressing effect on the physical qi. Keep the number of papers to a minimum and leave only that which is directly related to the current work.

When using your phone, make sure that the cord does not cross the work area and that you can sit right during a call. If you bend over or sit with the handset pressed to your shoulder, your spine will bend and move qi   turns out to be blocked. For those who have to talk a lot on the phone, this is of great importance.

Avoid light sources located directly above your head; in fact, any objects hanging or bulging over the workplace should be avoided. If you cannot move the light source, you can slightly change the position of the table. Shelves above the table have a similar effect and should be located on the side or behind the back.

The color of office chairs can be used to stimulate or support the personal element of the person who uses them. People, in whose character the main element is Metal, can choose a brown chair for support or white for concentration. Those with Water as their main element can choose a blue chair to improve the quality of communication or black to strengthen their position. Green chairs will strengthen the collaboration between Tree and Tree; red chairs will make Fire people more energetic; Earth's people will feel comfortable supported by brown, but can greatly benefit from the dynamism of reddish hues.

In the office you can use all methods of stimulating energy. qi. Think about the colors and symbols of the elements, crystals and plants. If tensions arise between work colleagues, stimulate the southwestern areas of the office. The energization of the northwestern zones encourages team thinking and strengthens the leadership qualities of managers; these areas are well suited for chairing workshops and conferences. The lack of creativity can be partially offset by the activation of the western sector, and those who seek fame and recognition should turn to the south. The southeast - the sector of material well-being - always needs careful attention, no matter what business you do.

Feng shui for beginners

Everyone who is familiar with the teachings of Feng Shui knows that using the techniques and practices of this Chinese art helps to improve not only the atmosphere in the home and personal life, but also in working relationships. Not for nothing that many successful businessmen pay attention to the favorable location of the office itself in accordance with the rules of Feng Shui, and also create the right internal environment. Therefore, if you want to succeed in business, listen to the tips that are more than three thousand years old.

Feng Shui office location: bfavorable and unfavorable aspects

Many, thinking about starting their own business, want the office to be located in the center of the city or in a busy area, where a large number of people are constantly located. In any case, if you open an office in the center or in a quiet area, you need to pay attention to the situation around the room you choose. Important factors are cleanliness and order on the street. Well, if you are comfortable in the chosen place, you may intuitively feel that this is your office.

The location of the office premises near the garbage deposits, dilapidated old buildings, prisons, cemeteries, morgues, funeral homes is unfavorable - the influence of stagnant qi qi energy will be very strong, which can negatively affect not only the performance and conduct of the business, but also your and your health employees.

In addition, the nearby power lines and “secret arrows” directed towards the office from other buildings have a negative effect - in this case, the aggressive energy of the sha chi will lead to the destruction and suppression of the positive energy of the chi qi. By the way, “secret arrows” can come not only from buildings and structures, but also from roads that run alongside. So, you should not choose an office located in the building at the T-shaped and V-shaped intersections. The most successful location of an office near such a road junction is when the road “bends around” the building or runs parallel to the building. But make sure that the office is not at the junction of the T-junction, when a powerful stream of energy, rushing along the road, "crashes" into the building, causing invisible energy damage.

Pay attention also to the history and reputation of the building. It is favorable when all the owners, as well as the tenants of the office flourished, then you have a great chance of success. In the opposite case, if the affairs of the former owners and tenants did not go, went sluggishly or ended in bankruptcy or other unpleasant consequences, it is best to abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bplacing your workplace there.

It is not favorable when your office or office is at the end of a narrow and long corridor. Similarly, sha chi energy is generated when it travels through a long bottleneck. Music of the wind or bells placed above the door, as well as the design of the corridor with the help of mirrors and (or) flowers placed in a checkerboard pattern, will help protect yourself from such energy. In this case, the qi energy will not be so rapid.

The location of the office opposite elevators, escalators, stairs is also unfavorable - such an arrangement helps to distract positive energy from you.

The main aspects of the interior design of the office

An office is a place where people work, therefore it is very important to maintain working capacity at the proper level. It is important to consider that in working rooms there is a constant movement of energy, which means that the advantage is committed towards yang. And it is right. Male, mobile energy stimulates the workflow, however, everything should be in moderation and balance must also be able to.

Colors for office design should be used in those that are convenient and comfortable to work with. If the walls and ceiling are decorated in light colors, then add dark colors to the interior. Conversely, when designing an office in dark shades, use light-colored furniture. In any case, it will be useful to use individual elements of bright colors. Thus, you will create a favorable atmosphere in the office.

Create a corner or lounge in the office where you or your subordinates could relax, gather their thoughts, have a bite to eat. By doing this, you can also maintain a balance between Yin and Yang energies. This room is best designed in soothing colors, avoiding flashy shades and details.

Try not to sit under the ceiling beams and avoid the "secret arrows" pointing at you. If this cannot be done, then a bamboo flute or wind music suspended from the ceiling will help protect you from the effects of ceiling beams. Negative energy from the "secret arrows" will help to neutralize a large plant in a pot located in the path of such an arrow.

The person sitting at the table should see the door, everyone who comes in and out of the office, and also be able to look around the entire office. And this is no coincidence, because if you have free space behind your back and there is a chance that someone can come from behind, then you will feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. Do not place the desktop directly opposite the door - it is best to place it diagonally in the corner with a view of the door. Similarly, try not to put the desktop in front of the window. An unfavorable situation is when you are sitting face or with your back to the window. But here the question is solved easier: you can put a living flower in a pot on the windowsill or hang a window.

In general, it is very useful to consider the office space from the point of view of the location of the zones in accordance with the octagon ba-gua. For example, portraits or images of influential people can be hung in the northwestern sector, and a safe can be placed in the southeastern sector or money can be counted.

About how it should be feng Shui office color,   the atmosphere, the interior, how to equip the workplace and much, much more we will tell you in this article, which, we hope, will help you create favorable conditions for positive energy flows and improve your position at work.

Feng Shui office: photosand description

It is necessary to begin to properly equip an office according to Feng Shui directly from the entrance to the room, because it is through the front door that energy flows into the building and in order to bring them to the desired premises, it is necessary to create an appropriate atmosphere. So, if a long dark corridor leads to the cabinets, first of all, it must be illuminated with bright lamps, better than ceiling ones, and pictures with a dynamic plot should be hung on the walls - a sailing ship, a flying plane, a racing car are best suited for this. Moreover, the paintings should hang on the wall so that the objects depicted on them move in the direction of the entrance to the offices, but in no case not in the opposite, so the positive energy will be redirected and leave the room, not reaching the desired goal.

Having reached the necessary premises, there is a chance of leakage of positive energy flows through the windows, so that this does not happen, it is necessary to create the so-called obstacles in the form of shutters, screens or indoor plants. By the way, the most popular plants for office feng shui -it is a Chinese rose, croton, dieffenbachia.

Tall racks, cabinets, whatnots and other large pieces of furniture cannot be placed near a door or near windows; corners of a blank wall are ideal for them. If there is a soft part or a small sofa in the office, it is better to place it so that everyone sitting can clearly see the door and the one who enters it.

The best option in the arrangement of furniture is to place it in the form of an octagon in accordance with the shape of a classic grid. This will help to create in the office a kind of magical protection against evil spirits that can take over the space of your office, and also facilitate communication between all the employees or guests present.

Of course, the main object of any office is a desk, its choice and location should be taken very seriously, because it is one of the main elements that attract luck, success and prosperity to its owner. The optimal width should be eighty centimeters, and the length - one hundred twenty. If you need authority and you want your opinion to be unconditionally taken into account, choose a bigger table, for example, eighty-five wide and one hundred and fifty centimeters long. It is desirable that the countertop was made of natural wood or at least of fiberboard, it is unacceptable to install plastic and glass tables at work. It is also important that the desktop has a blank back wall, and people standing opposite you cannot see your legs when you are sitting in your place.

As for the location of the office desk, it should be chosen after having previously determined all feng Shui zones in the office.So, if you are the head of any of the enterprise’s divisions or are its owner, create your workplace in the north-western corner of the office or office, this is where the “owner sector” is located - this will help you professionally, fairly and profitably manage all subordinates.

Head's office: Feng Shui design rules

Cabinet Location

The Feng Shui executive’s office is best located on the very top floor, as the height symbolizes career growth, but the immediate proximity of this room to the elevator or stairs should be avoided if possible. It is believed that a Feng Shui office does not bring goodness and wealth to its owner if there are places nearby where strangers constantly rise and descend.
