Feng Shui Finding Its Place in Offices
Proper setup brings harmony, proponents say.
Having problems getting that raise? Think you deserve that promotion? Is your girlfriend cramping your style?
It’s not your fault. Blame your workspace – that filthy, cluttered office cubicle that’s holding you back.
But you can change that; feng shui your office. With help from a professional consultant, you can bring harmony to your puny space and help all areas of your life. The feng shui experts believe it, and their clients seek help in all areas of life by altering spaces at home and work.
Feng Shui balances energy flow to any chosen space, incorporates power of positive thinking and converts a space into a comfortable environment.
- The process includes diving into your personal life, determining priorities, assessing energy flow and utilizing a feng shui expert to manipulate energy to benefit you.
- Here are some feng shui tips from the experts:
- Draw a line. Look at the entrance of your cubicle. Find the imaginary line between the domain that is public and what defines your workspace. There is the entrance or mouth of your work environment. All energy from everywhere else will enter through the mouth of your cubicle. Step inside your cubicle and face the entryway. Divide your space into nine equal squares, like a tic-tac-toe board with borders. Each square represents an area of your life. (Copies of this bagua are available for sale at Serendipity Books).
- Play some hopscotch. The front three squares closest to the entrance from left to right represent knowledge, career and helpful people. You will want to put items that correspond to those areas here. Books that keep you abreast in your field would go in the knowledge area. Degree earned, award, and business cards should be kept in the career square. Consider putting the telephone I the helpful people square.
- The middle three presents family, healthy, and creativity. Photographs of family can go in the first space. Leave health open and remove the clutter from that area. Put something you’ve created that you are proud of in the center right area.
- The back three areas farthest from the entrance represent abundance, reputation and relationships. Abundance is best represented by water. A fountain, fishbowl or a picture representing running water symbolizes prosperity.
- In the back middle, photographs of you receive awards or an object representing something you want to be known for should here. And photos of friends and people you work with can go in the back right corner area.
- Experts agree that you workplace, no matter how stressful you job is, should be a comfortable place for you.

Consecrated Chinese Money Drawing Coins
Chinese coins are essential ingredients in the practice of Feng Shui. It is the most potent symbol of wealth, especially when tied with red thread. They are rounded shape with a square hole in the center. The circle represents heaven while the square represents earth. When used by humans, they represent the cosmic trinity of luck of "Heaven-Earth-Man".There is the Yang side (with four Chinese characters according to reign of emperor) and the Yin side (2 characters) on every Chinese coins. The Yang side should always be used facing up. Feng Shui masters often focus only on Ching Dynasty coins compared to other dynasties because Ching was the most powerful dynasty in China, while other dynasties usually collapsed in less than a century. The Chinese coins, particularly of those of the Kang Hsi or Chien Long Emperors' reign are deemed most auspicious. Chinese coins are creation of old advisers of emperors (who are Grand Feng Shui wizards) and that is why chinese coins are powerful emblems of wealth, endless fortune and prosperity.
