Feng Shui Tips for Your Office

There are several factors that can affect productivity in the office. However, by applying the right Feng Shui cures, you can ensure positive energy flow and improve productivity. This will help in drawing in new opportunities and bring success in your endevours. It can also raise your company’s profits. By applying the correct Feng Shui principles, you can improve the balance between you and your co-workers and the overall atmosphere in the office.

Here are some tips to get you started in the right direction:

- Keep the premises neat and well organized: Your office premises should be well arranged and organized efficiently. Based on Feng Shui, unwanted clutter stimulates an energy that is negative which must be minimized. All things that are extraneous must be removed.

Clearing physical clutter frees the mental as well as the emotional burden that a person may carry. Clearing clutter often manifests in a lighter happier mood among the workers, giving them a more cheerful and optimistic attitude.

- Positioning the desk: Your desk should be placed in a position that gives your control. A desk position that is commanding means a power position, and business success will be more forthcoming. This “power position” is a place where a person can have a direct view of the door without being directly in front of it. A desk that is positioned in the back meridian of the room with a clear view of the door is optimal.

- Shape of the desks: This affects the mood as well as productivity level of whoever sits at the desk. Curves and soft edges of a desk encourage creativity. Desks which are shaped like a kidney are designed in the form of human body and this gives an individual the subliminal feeling of internal alignment.

- Place plants in your office: The use of plants in an office space allows individuals to remain in connection with the world of nature. The color green spurs creativity as well as new ideas.

Plants increase the flow of chi, or energy. In addition, green plants act as filtering system that reduces toxins as well as circulating the air that often becomes stagnant.

- Ensure optimal lighting conditions: The finest light in the office is natural daylight. Place your desk near the window but not in line with a glare. Fluorescent lights can cause exhaustion and eyestrain. Replace them with full spectrum lighting and warm desk lights.
