What You Must Know About Feng Shui For Your Office Cubicle

By Alyssa Davis

While you may be well-versed in Feng Shui for your home, chances are good that you have given little thought to applying the principles of Feng Shui to your office cubicle. But after all, don’t you work in this tiny little corner of the world for hours on end each day? Most people spend more time at work than they do at home, so it is only natural that you should want to do everything that you can to bring good fortune and positive energy to your work environment. Let’s look at how the ancient principles of Feng Shui can be put to work for you and your cubicle.

De-Clutter

Clutter inhibits the movement of chi, or positive energy. The first step in bringing Feng Shui to your office cubicle is to de-clutter your cubicle. Give the entire cubicle a good cleaning in the process. Clean out your drawers, cabinets – everything. Clean your computer equipment with pressurized air and wipe down your desk and other office furniture. Get rid of anything that you no longer need or use in the cubicle. This gives you a good starting point, a clean slate for arranging your cubicle in a fashion that is more harmonious for the conduction of chi.

Placement of Furnishings

When possible, you should arrange your desk and your computer so that it faces the entrance to the cubicle. This places you in the position of power where you are welcoming good energy instead of blocking it with your back. This also eliminates the stress of having your back in a position that faces the door. If there is no way that you can arrange things differently, then you will need to hang a mirror on the wall that is opposite of your cubicle. This not only attracts positive chi, but it also gives you a view of who is entering your cubicle so that you are not startled.

“Windows” for Your Cubicle

Unfortunately, there are no windows in cubicles. But you can hang prints or photos of landscapes in your cubicle to create the illusion of a window. Choose landscapes that feature flowing water. This will help you to create a peaceful ambience, and although these “windows” aren’t the type through which positive chi can enter, they will still bring harmony and comfort to the space.

Living Things

No cubicle should be without green plants; they are useful for removing negative energy from the space. Choose plants like bamboo, which represents money, to help your career prosper. Position a bamboo plant near your cubicle’s entrance. Moving water is also a great way to overcome negative chi, and it is symbolic of abundance and prosperity. Bring a small water fountain into your work space to bring these things into your life and your work; you’ll also enjoy the calming sounds and relaxing vibe created by the fountain.

Inviting Wealth

The wealth area of your cubicle space is located in the upper left hand corner of the cubicle when you are standing at the cubicle’s entrance. Position a picture in this corner, or place your water fountain in the location. Anything that is located in this particular corner should represent wealth, so perhaps placing a shelf with business or wealth creation books in this spot is ideal.

Once the cubicle has been optimally laid out with Feng Shui in mind, you will begin to feel more comfortable in your work space, and your focus should increase. You may also feel an elevated sense of motivation, power, and efficiency.

Attracting Wealth With Feng Shui

By Tammy Morton

Most of the people, if not all, want to have wealth of wealth. We all need to be free from worries of not being able to buy the things we need or pay our bills. Some individuals want to have the freedom to buy anything they want without being worried about not having enough bucks for important things. Because we have many want and desires, we work very hard and look for more ways to increase our wealth.

There are numerous paths to increase wealth. One technique of attracting wealth is by following some Feng Shui beliefs. Feng Shui, or the art of object placement, uses various guidelines in designing or preparing a home or an office. They assert that following these methods will help you in attracting wealth. Here are some tips you can follow to draw in wealth using Feng Shui.

Clean Your Mess

The very first thing you have to do is to free your mind and your place with litter. This is also a practical thing to do when you wish to be able to think unreservedly without diversions. Chinese customs say that you get more Problems when you own a large amount of things. These possessions hinder you from attracting wealth. You have to have more space so that wealth can enter. You can do this by throwing out broken and superseded objects. Dispose of things that are of little use to you anymore.

Enrich Your Wealth Corner

According to Chinese teaching, the southeast corner of your office or home is your wealth corner. To draw in wealth, follow some Feng Shui beliefs when planning this area.

A hint of green draws wealth as the color green designates perseverance and patience. In other cultures, green also designate money. Placing some plants in this area is a smart idea. You can put bamboo or jade plants, which is also called as money plants. Plants represent your fiscal standing. Ensure that you look after your plants very well. Healthy plants are seen as abounding wealth. Also, avoid placing plants with pointed leaves and thorns. They’re seen as bad luck.

Light also performs a part in this area. Put light in your wealth corner. Too much light might not be good. Having a soft glow on your southeast corner is ideal.

Welcome Wealth

Making the entrance of your office or home more welcoming is also 1 technique of attracting wealth. Placing Bamboo plants on your entry way are regarded as a good luck in Chinese teachings. Bamboo plants in the entry way attract good things to come inside.

You may put some coins beneath your welcome mat. This designates that you welcome wealth inside your home or office.

Following Feng Shui helps you in enticing wealth. It does not bring you wealth instantly. To be solely dependent on these strategies is not right. Wealth does not come to a man who does not do anything. Be patient and word hard on all the things you do. Feng Shui helps you to reach what you need but you also need to help yourself.

Feng Shui and the Windows to Your Soul

By Candace Czarny, CFM, ASID, LEED AP, Subtle Energy Expert

Feng Shui and Your Windows

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and in Feng Shui, it’s thought that the windows are the opening where energy flows into the home. In order to improve the flow of energy in your home, make sure that you are using your windows to allow energy to flow freely in the spaces where you live, work, and play. Here are some Feng Shui tips you can use to start changing the energy of your home today.

Privacy Matters

While being open to outside energy is important, it’s equally important to keep others’ sha energy from flowing into your home. You will want to make sure you have coverings on your windows which will help to block out outside energy. Sheer drapes will allow you to let light in while also blocking out images or energies that are not favorable. Blinds can also work, but you do not want to completely block out the light as that can attract hard energy. There are cures for transmuting sha energy so that you can leave your window blinds open. Keep ready to find out how.

Prevent Energy Arrows

Sometimes, your home might be in the line of energy fire, so to speak. If you have corners or sharp items pointing at your windows, this can cause hard energy to flow into your home. In order to soften this energy, you will want to add plants or other items in the windows. These Feng Shui helpers will deflect and transform the energy into something more positive. Closing the drapes will also help as will hanging crystal balls in the windows to transmute hard energy (sha) into positive energy (chi) and prevent it from causing harm.

Make Your Space Larger

Using mirrors will help to make your space appear larger, always a good thing in Feng Shui. You can use mirrors to reflect the light from the windows to other areas of the home, especially when you can not change the current position of the windows or the skylights. This way, you can extend the energy of the light and the outside world into even the darkest corners of the rooms. Mirrors will also duplicate the positive chi energy that may be outside your home like a fountain, flowers or water and bring this chi energy into your home.

Open Up the Windows

Simply taking a few minutes each day to open the windows will allow fresh new energy to enter your home and to release stale old energy from the space. In doing this, you will be able to encourage energy already in your home to circulate more, allowing you to feel a surge of energy, right when you need it.

Also, remember to keep your windows clean to allow chi into your home.

No matter how good your home feels now, using Feng Shui will allow you to enhance the good energy. By simply looking to your windows for help, you can begin to change your life.

Using Feng Shui Mirrors the Proper Way

By James Brickman

Feng shui mirrors are a special object, which should be used with caution.

Let’s take a look at the properties of mirrors: they reflect, attract, create the illusion of an extended space, complement the space visually, and redistribute the Qi energy flow.

A mirror can be an excellent corrector, such as in a bathroom. The Qi energy is attracted to water, and moves with water. If you keep your bathroom door open, then good luck may be going down the drains. In this case, the best corrector is a large mirror (the size of the door) hung on the outside and inside of the door. On the outside, it will reflect the Chi and keep it from entering the bathroom and flowing out of your house. On the inside, it will not allow the negative energy to penetrate into the home from the bathroom.

If your bathroom door is opposite the entrance door, it’s best not to use a large mirror on the outside of the bathroom door – it will reflect the incoming Qi back to the street. Instead, hang a small round mirror on the inside of the bathroom door, and hang a wind chime on the outside. The chime will pick up the incoming Qi energy and scatter it through your home.

It is best not to use mirror tiles, as they “cut” the reflection. Good Feng shui mirrors should reflect a person completely, with a little space above the person’s head – it’s the personal growth potential.

Mirrors can help to direct the Qi energy in the desired direction. For example, if your kitchen is opposite the entrance door, you and your guests may be tempted to go to the kitchen and eat. This is not surprising, since the incoming Qi goes straight to the kitchen. If you hang a large mirror to reflect other rooms, the Qi will be redirected towards the rooms and you’ll eat less.

Feng shui mirrors in the bedroom are fine, as long as they don’t reflect a sleeping couple. If they do, the relationship may suffer from third party interference.

Mirrors in the kitchen are used in two ways. First, to reflect the dining table – this will double the prosperity of the family. Second, for the cook to see who enters the kitchen – this will make him/her feel safer.

Mirrors in the living room can help to enhance it. For instance, if you have a stunning landscape outside the window – hang a mirror on the opposite wall, and the beauty of the landscape will double.

The round Bagua Mirrors with rings of trigrams are very strong protectors, which attract negative objects and restrain them by the forces of nature. Bagua Mirrors are very potent and need to be used with caution. Instead, you can use friendly protective animals, such as turtles and unicorns (Chi Lin), which protect against negative spirits and people.

Let’s remember the rules for placing the feng shui mirrors: they should reflect a person in his/her entirety; a mirror opposite the bed can harm a relationship; let the mirrors reflect only nice things.

The Ancient Feng Shui Compass Lo Pan

By James Brickman

The name of the Chinese feng shui compass Lo Pan consists of two words – Lo (“all”) and Pan (“bowl”).

The Lo Pan compass reflects all of the earth’s circles and lines, and is used to obtain information about the landscape surrounding someone’s home and office, as well as to draw up detailed geomantic tables.

Lo Pan is made up of circles, the number of which can reach 36 in some cases. Each circle is used to study a particular aspect of feng shui. There are 3 types of Lo Pans: the San He School, San Yuan School and Zong He School (combined compass).

Any feng shui compass has a Heaven Pond circle with a sensitive hand in its center. The Heaven Pond is surrounded by the Early Heaven Bagua circle with protective properties. The rest are the circles with ancient feng shui formulas. All this is placed in a red square. The larger the compass, the more accurate the data is. The accuracy is very important if you use formulas where the difference of 1-2 degrees could change the whole feng shui.

Following are the requirements for a quality compass: The disk with formulas and the Heaven Pond should rotate smoothly. The crossing of the red threads must be directly above the needle. If you align the last disk to 0 degrees from one side of the thread, the opposite side of the thread should point to 180 degrees. If all of these requirements are met, then it’s a high-quality Lo Pan.

In feng shui, there are two main directions – the Form School and Compass School.

The Form School takes into account the landscape that surrounds a home, as a manifestation of four animals. A large black turtle (a mountain) is behind the building. A green dragon (mountains or tall trees) is on the left (if you stand with your back to the door). A white tiger (low trees) is on the right. A red phoenix (a stream or river) is in front of the house. The Form School for interior is based on comfort and security. For example, this school teaches us not to sit with our backs against a door, because we don’t see who is outside, which may pose a potential threat.

The Compass School is divided into two schools: the San He School (3 harmonies), and San Yuan School (3 periods). The San He School (3 harmonies – heaven, human and earth) believes that feng shui is always either good or bad. The San Yuan School (3 periods) takes into account the time and believes that feng shui of a home varies from period to period. The circles on the Lo Pan compasses of these two schools differ from each other, but both have a circle of “24 mountains”. Any feng shui compass divides each of the 8 directions (4 main and 4 intermediate) into three sectors, which make a total of 24 directions.

The Feng Shui practice often requires the use both compasses, so there is a combined Lo Pan that combines the formulas of both schools. Since it is impossible to accommodate all of the formulas on the same disk, they take only the most frequently used formulas.

Using Shape in Feng Shui Gardening

By Linda Binns

If you have taken the time to learn the basics of feng shui, you know that you need to incorporate all five elements of nature – fire, water, wood, metal, and earth – to achieve and restore balance within your living space. However, incorporating these elements in their natural states can prove a bit difficult, especially if you live in an apartment or other environment where others have a significant degree of control over what you place around your living area.

Instead of using the natural elements to balance your energy, try using the shapes associated with each element to help improve the balance in your home. Shapes can be powerful substitutes for the actual elements, if they are used in an appropriate manner. Here’s how you can represent each of the elements through shape:

Fire: This element is represented by cones, pyramids, and triangles. You can use stone or ceramic pagodas, which have pyramid-shaped tops, to represent fire in your yard. Also, you may be able to convince the owner of your apartment to let you plant small pine trees, which have conical shapes that will create a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

Water: If you can’t have fountains or ponds, consider using flowing shapes to represent water. Flags, banners, and mobiles will create the flowing shapes necessary to create water-like flowing energy. Also, you can use thing like hanging plants and wind chimes, which have downward-flowing shapes, to bring water into your environment. Water shapes will help increase the flow of positive, invigorating energy into your home space, and improve the relationships within your home.

Wood: Columns and striped objects represent wood. If you can’t use plants or trees to bring the stabilizing qualities of wood into your living space, try using striped pillows on your lawn furniture, or a bamboo fence, to create this energy. You will find that this is particularly useful for bringing balance and harmony for city living environments, where cars and motorcycles may vastly outnumber trees and shrubs.

Metal: Round, octagonal, and arched objects can bring the element of metal into your environment. Gazing balls and circular stepping stones are great for adding metal to an area of your yard. Arched trellises can also help to bring in this element to balance your home’s energy. You can use these shapes in areas where wood and earth elements are dominant to bring balance to your space.

Earth: Square and octagonal shapes can help you incorporate the element of earth into your surroundings. Square stepping stones, rectangular paving bricks, and flower boxes can all help you use shape to bring the earth element to your landscaping. This is particularly important if you live in a very urban environment where natural earth is not visible in great quantities.

As you can see, there are many representational ways you can use shape to help bring the balancing effects of the elements to your living space. Find what works for you and what is pleasing to you visually, and let that be your guide for creating a harmonious, balanced space for you and your family.

Feng Shui Decorating For Your Home

By Lynn Lee

Feng Shui, when translated directly “the wind and the water” is the art and science of arrangement. This ancient Chinese art, Feng Shui (pronounced ‘fung shway”) is the instruction of creating harmony and balance so that waves of ‘Chi’ – the good healthy energy will undulate over us and open the doors of luck and prosperity.

The Chinese believe that luck and prosperity and everything good in the world travels on waves of healthy energy. Most of us have the predicament of living in a home that has been arranged to block some or most of this energy from reaching us and our loved ones. By using feng shui decorating for your home, you will make it into a tuning fork that grabs this Chi and transforms it into harmony and good health for all living under the roof of that place.

The devil is really in the details. From how a potted plant is placed to the position in which you sleep in all affects how much or how little of this Chi you will experience. A house with bad feng shui, the Chinese believe, is a recipe for disaster – and this is why alot of Chinese people and other races who believe strongly in this, hire a feng shui master before they do anything to their household decor or furniture arrangement.

Now get the image of an old rickety man with beads and an unearthly beard out of your head. He doesn’t spring into kung fu at the tip of the hat.

He does that just on Tuesdays.

I’m just kidding. Professional geomancers are as modern as you and me and you would be surprised to find that some of them are not even Chinese in the first place. They have an understanding of Mother Nature and her compass and can sense whether or not a household is aligned with her enough for prosperity and luck to be a permanent fixture.

Do you notice an area of the house where people just seem to gravitate to? Ever held a party and people tell you that a certain room seems ‘uncomfortable’ for no obvious reason? This is probably bad feng shui at work.

Anything from the colour of your walls to how your bed is situated in your room can determine a restful night or a fitful one. The Chinese believe that the colour red and its various shades bring about luck and warmth to a house – this is evident when you notice that most Chinese brides like to don the bright maroons on their happy occasion.

It is also all about spaces. The Chinese believe that facing a door or entryway in whatever you do brings about luck and exposes you to greater Chi. Also having highly visible exits means that not only guests can find their way out easily, but money and energy as well.

Interesting isn’t it? Most of the time feng shui decorating can mean little cost and just a bit of rearrangement in the household or even the office. With the promise of wealth, prosperity and luck increasing in multiples, it would be prudent to just give it a try – the results could well surprise you.

Feng Shui Mirrors : What is the Bagua?

By Lynn Lee

Feng Shui practitioners often use Feng Shui mirrors to improve the Feng Shui of your house or your business. Feng Shui mirrors emit the Feng Shui energy of water. A function of Feng Shui mirrors is to draw the beneficial flow of energy (Qi) into the place it is positioned at.

Generally, the mirrors can be used to expand the space of an area, to reflect and deflect the Qi of an area. In this article, we will talk about these 3 areas of Feng Shui mirrors, as well as the commonly used Bagua Mirror.

As mention earlier, there are 3 main uses of Feng Shui mirrors, there are used to expand, reflect, and deflect the flow of Qi in an area. When used in the appropriate manner, the Feng Shui mirrors will improve the flow of Qi in that area. However, improper placement of Feng Shui mirrors will cause things to worsen.

Listed below is a brief explanation on the 3 types of uses of the Feng Shui mirrors.

Expansion

In this case, the use of a mirror is to create virtual space to adjust your focal view of an area. In the study of Feng Shui, the mirror provides us with a new in-depth view of ourselves as it opens up a virtual view on an otherwise plain surface. The mirror can also create a virtual view of an area, and can “expand” the space of the area.

In Feng Shui, a small space represents limitation. Small spaces will limit the flow of Qi in the area, eventually limiting our movement and advancement in life. Thereby, a mirror is often used to virtually expand a small space.

Reflection

When a Feng Shui mirror reflects an object, it does not only reflect the image of the object, but also the energy the object is emitting. Thereby, it doubles the effect of the energy the object is emitting. For example, if the mirror shows the reflection of a pile of unpaid bills, it will mean that in time to come, there will be more unpaid bills piling up, increasing your debts. On the other hand, if the reflection shows a reflection of a kitchen stove, it symbolizes that your wealth will be doubled as fire stoves symbolize wealth.

Deflection

Feng Shui mirrors can be used to deflect the negative energy (Sha Qi) away from your house or business. The mechanism behind this is that it will deflect the Sha Qi back to its source, preventing it from entering the house. Bagua mirrors are used to deflect Sha Qi.

If your intention is to deflect Sha Qi, the Bagua mirror should be placed outside your house. It is common to see people hanging a Bagua mirror outside their homes. Other than deflecting Sha Qi, the Bagua mirror also brings harmony and good fortune to the owner. For this purpose, you can place the Bagua mirror in your home, preferably in your living room.

With proper usage, Feng Shui mirrors can improve the flow of Qi, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life. Now that we know the uses of the Feng Shui and Bagua mirror, you can make use of these mirrors to ward off bad luck and improve the quality of your life.

The Best Feng Shui Colors For Home

By Lynn Lee

To decide the best Feng Shui colors for home, we have to examine several factors, as different colors will have different impacts. For this article, we will discuss the concept of the yin and yang energies and how it will affect your choice of Feng Shui colors.

Ying energy is said to be the passive energy. It brings about a dreamy effect on a person. Conversely, yang energy is considered to be the active energy, which is said to be able to bring about passion in your mind.

Ying colors are the colors that will induce relaxation and healing effects. It will give you a laid back feeling if your house is filled with Ying colors. However, if you are planning to do some office work and you do not want your children to be too laid back in their studies, the color scheme of your house should comprise of some yang colors to neutralize the effect of the “dreaminess”.

The following Ying colors have different attributes that you can consider to include in the decoration of your house.

Blue

The color blue has a smoothing and calming effect on your mind. It also has a healing effect on your mind and body, which is why this color is so significant in Feng Shui. The color blue also symbolizes peace and trust.

As blue is also the color of the sky and the sea, your imagination can easily take flight in a room filled with blue color. Thereby, it is best to have blue as the color of your bedroom, as it relaxes and calms your mind, allowing you to sleep peacefully.

Black

In Feng Shui, the color black represents money and income. Therefore, it is thought to bring about good fortune. Combining the use of black color with metal will be exceptionally good for your career. A simple advice is to use simple black metallic tools such as pens and mobile phone covers.

Purple

In Feng Shui, purple symbolize spiritual awareness. This color is often used for mental and physical healing as it has an awesome effect of healing. Hence, in order to maintain good health, you may want to include some purple objects in the decoration of your house.

White

This color is a sign of poise, confidence and purity. Many people paint their house white because it is very easy to match with other colors. Matching white color with silver and gold color will create a very laid back and calming atmosphere.

The Yang colors consist of the more intense color such as yellow, orange and red. These colors represent positive energy and provide you with the enthusiasm and the motivation to do something. The 2 colors listed below might be of some help to you.

Yellow

In Feng Shui, yellow is said to be an auspicious color. It represents warmth, cheerfulness and friendliness. If you feel that the atmosphere of your house is too laid back, you can use some yellow objects to nullify the effect of the laziness.

Orange

Orange is a color that provides intense Yang energy, so much so that it has the ability to boast your concentration. If you are always procrastinating in your work and are not able to keep your focus on your work, orange is the color that will spur you on.

Now that you know the different elements of the Ying and Yang colors, you can now decorate your house with the appropriate colors that will help you obtain your desired atmosphere. The main point you must take note of is that in order to find the best Feng Shui colors for home, you must first decide on what you want the atmosphere of the house to be, as well as the effects you want to obtain from these colors.

Feng Shui Money Frogs

By James Brickman

Money frogs are one of the most popular feng shui symbols. This charm can draw the material well-being into a home.

In Chinese culture, a toad also symbolizes immortality. Money plays an important role in our lives, so it is worth learning how to use this amulet to attract wealth.

The feng shui toad has three legs. Usually it will hold 1 or 3 coins in its mouth, which is a Chinese symbol of wealth. Sometimes the creature will have no coins in its mouth, but it will have a slit in it where you can insert a coin. These small money frogs can even be made from a bank note with your own two hands.

The toads can be purchased in feng shui talisman stores. These symbols are sold in an array of colors and materials. When choosing a talisman for yourself, keep in mind that the more the frog looks like a real one the better. As we mentioned above, the most important point is to make sure that it has three legs instead of two or four. The best symbol is the one made of yellow shiny metal that resembles gold, or that is indeed gold.

How to place this money symbol properly? This amulet can be placed in one of a few places in your home. One good location is the living room. In the living room, put it in the left corner diagonally to the door. This is the so-called “power corner”. It can also be put near the front door creating the impression that it’s jumping into your home. It can also be placed in a fountain with moving water in your favorite sector, which will also increase your money luck. The main point is to place the money frogs facing the inside of the house, and not the other way around.

It should not be placed in the bathroom, kitchen or bedroom. In the bedroom it will fall asleep, in the kitchen it’s going to get too hot, and in the bathroom it will soak in the calm Yin energy and relax instead of bringing good luck and money to you.

If you own a house with a backyard where toads live, treat them respectfully and kindly. According to an ancient Chinese belief, a frog family living in the backyard will bring prosperity. According to the Chinese, the toad was wicked and vengeful at first. But one day Buddha came, conquered it and committed it to help people. Ever since then, the creature is paying the price for the trouble that it used to cause, by spitting out gold coins for people.

Wherever you place the toad (the zone of money, health, love, etc.) it will activate that exact zone. The money frogs are just a symbol of wealth. If you do not believe in it, the mascot will not work. So, try to believe in this helpful little creature, and you will soon see positive changes in your finances. There are many more good improvements that you can do for yourself using feng shui.
