AN ANCIENT CHINESE ART: FENG SHUI

Feng Shui is more than an ancient Chinese art of harnessing energies. It's about making conscious, deliberate choices for change. It's about taking control of your environment and adapting it to reflect who you'd like to be and what you'd like to achieve. When you eliminate clutter in your space, you are also clearing your mind for new direction. It's easier to arrange your priorities and you feel more at ease and in control. Pay special attention to which areas in your office tend to gather clutter and compare it to the Feng Shui areas of a room. You may be surprised to find the corresponding area of your life is exactly what needed clarification. Whenever possible, arrange your desk so it is facing the door at a diagonal. If you share an office with a co-worker, try to make sure you are facing the same direction, so as not to create any symbolic tension or conflict. According to Feng Shui, there are two primary areas of your office where you would focus to actualize a promotion. If you're facing into your office from the door, "wealth and prosperity" are represented in the far left corner. Adorn this corner with symbols of money. This corner of your desk is also ideal for thoughtfully chosen power symbols. Career is the middle of the front wall - the wall closest to you. Oftentimes the symbols that will work best for you are those that are personally appealing. If you strategically place an item in your office that makes you feel organized, efficient, powerful or simply relaxed, you are adorning your workplace with positive Feng Shui, and inviting prosperity into that space.
