Office Feng Shui

Using A Bagua To Rethink Your Space

Placing Your Desk

Whether you have the luxury of having your office in a big room with lots of windows or in a tiny cubby in your attic, the location of your desk is especially critical. Important things to remember:

· Never sit with your back to the door. Feng shui consultants believe that this can lead to insecurity in business. Yikes!

· Try not to put your desk or office in your bedroom. Leave work at work. Let your bedroom be a place of rest (and other fun stuff!).

· Don’t face looking directly out of a window. You’ll become distracted too easily.

· The optimal place for your desk is in a corner so that you have control over the rest of the room.

What’s A Bagua?

A bagua is an eight-sided diagram that serves as a feng shui map. It can be used to help you find the most favorable placement for furniture, paintings, plants, and other objects that you intend to include in your new space.

The Everything Feng Shui Book, by Katina Z Jones, provides a simple and easy-to-use bagua that can help you position your belongings in places that will not only look beautiful, but can also help to draw new business and improve client relations.
