Feng Shui for an office means a harmoniously organized workplace. It is advisable to sit with your back to a blank wall so that it is convenient to communicate with colleagues and clients entering the office. You can hang a picture of your favorite image on the wall. This will allow you to feel support coming from the rear.
If, due to insurmountable circumstances, you are forced to sit with your back to the front door, then you can fence yourself off with a closet or screen, and if there is a window behind you, place a plant on the windowsill. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, a wide range of plants can be used in the office workplace, but the most common are Dieffenbachia, Croton and Chinese rose.
When you are at the table, sharp corners should not be pointed at you. Such objects, like a poisonous arrow, send you negative Sha Chi energy. This energy constantly interferes with your work, provokes various diseases and unfounded accusations directed at you.
Your desk should not be between closely spaced cabinets or in a corner of the office. Leave a clear path to your workplace. It will symbolize your perspective.
Even in a limited space, it will not be difficult to organize Feng Shui of the workplace. If you are forced to work in a cramped cubicle or there is a partition close to you, then you should expand your visual perspective. To do this, you need to hang a reproduction on the wall depicting the surface of the sea, a flowering field, etc.
OFFICE ENERGY. HOW TO CHOOSE AN OFFICE
Choosing office space is very important for business development . When choosing premises, you should pay attention to the history of the office , the companies that were located there previously, and find out the reason for the office change. If, say, the premises or building that you want to purchase (rent) changed hands many times from one owner to another, and few of them were able to survive in the current economy, then there is a high probability that the same fate awaits you. The appearance of an office does not always indicate its success or failure, for example, a large number of successful companies today started their activities in garages and small rooms, and this suggests that even a small, not particularly presentable office can carry positive energy.
It is good to take an office from an owner who is selling it because business is going so well that he has to “expand” or move the company to a more prestigious location. also be good to rent an office in which the company does not quickly linger due to the constant increase in staff; an increase in staff always requires an increase in expenses, and where expenses are higher, income will be twice as large.
Remember, the energy of an office very much depends on the energy of its owner’s home and vice versa.
Particularly important when choosing an office is the external environment . Keep in mind that being near a building with windows, front door, etc. These factors are very important. For example, if there is a cemetery or landfill next door to an office building, it is unlikely that you will be successful in this place.
The office building should not be located at a T , X , Y , V -shaped intersection, and its facade should not look at the corner of the building opposite.
When choosing office space, follow these recommendations :
Do not set up an office in a building with mirrored windows , since the energy that promotes success and wealth will be reflected and repelled from such a building.
Avoid offices in buildings that have a triangular shape. Pyramid buildings accumulate negative energy, especially in the upper floors.
Don't locate your office above your garage . Active traffic in the garage will undermine financial flows and business stability.
It is unfavorable to open an office in buildings where the area of the lower floors is less than the area of the upper ones. This can cause troubles in financial matters and harsh management of employees.
Don't locate your office at the end of a long corridor.
Buildings where elevators are located directly opposite the front door are very unfavorable.
Do not take an office next to the elevator (especially opposite it) or the main staircase, otherwise all the money will “slip through your fingers.”
It is desirable that the office have a spacious hallway or foyer.
the facade should not look at the corner of the house facing opposite.
Simplicity or complicated names?
How to name a beauty salon to attract success through customer interest? To make the name of a style studio sound winning, you should think through all the details, including the complexity of its structure. There are two options here. In the first case, the name is commercially justified, it sounds short and clear, for example, “Charm”, “Style”, “Tenderness”, “Charm” and so on. Names reflect the image of the establishment and give it a certain flavor. The definitions “clearly describe the status of the structure, which in one context plays the role of a huge plus, because all the most ingenious things are simple, but in another it draws a bold minus, since society, as a rule, gets lost in a multitude of monotonous names. Nevertheless, simplicity compared to extreme complexity and intricacy looks advantageous, it is captivating.
However, on the streets of various cities you can often find beauty salons with names such as “Light Light”, “He, the Master and Margarita”, “Something Else” and so on. The pretentiousness of such names only reduces their advertising ability, because they are very difficult to perceive by society, which often leads to a decrease in the image of the establishment, and therefore in profits.
HOW TO SET UP AN OFFICE FOR CLIENTS
The office must have the correct shape. If the shape of the room is incorrect, “correct” it with the help of a number of indoor plants, screens, and mirrors. The correct shape should have a geometrically correct shape - rectangle, square, round or octagonal. Correct form promotes financial well-being and health.
The office should be well lit , but not overheated by the midday sun. Plants are in the office Their presence symbolizes growth and development; for greatest benefit, place them in the southeast direction . In the southeast and north, increase the income of an enterprise .
If a company specializes in customer service , you should pay attention to the entrance and make it attractive. Opposite the entrance to the office (inside or outside) it is good to place a small fountain.
SIGN DESIGN FOR LUCK AND MONEY
A sign is an important element of a company’s activities . According to Feng Shui, a sign should be clear and harmonious in size, proportions and colors. the size of the sign be made with a length that is an even number and a width that is an odd number. The best sizes:
The color of the sign is no less significant. Its color must contain either three or 5 different colors.
The number 3 symbolizes growth, and 5 - completeness, completeness.
The sign must be: attractive, pleasing to the eye, have a harmonious proportional shape and in no case triangular; do not block a window or any other opening; not be made from soft wood; be proportional to the size of the building; be securely fastened.
OFFICE INTERIOR
According to Feng Shui, the workplace is of paramount importance; it must have the correct location. It is undesirable to sit with your back to the door, window or colleagues. There should be something solid behind your back, and if there is a wall, place a picture of a mountain on it to provide support. If you find yourself sitting with your back to the door, place a closet, a screen between you, and if you are facing the window, then plants on the windowsill.
How to arrange the desktops of colleagues (employees) in the office . It is not recommended to sit directly opposite the door and facing the wall. In the first case, to correct the situation, use a symbolic barrier from plants, and in the second, hang a picture with a pleasant landscape on the wall in front of you. Colleagues' desks should not be pointed directly at each other, as this can arouse subconscious hostility. In general, all workplaces should be positioned so that those sitting can see those entering the room.
Tables are preferably wooden, light colors. Light colors impart reliability and contain the potential for growth and development, while dark colors slow down the reaction and dull attention. Desk size that attracts money luck: length - 152 cm, width - 89 cm, height - 84 cm.
It’s good to put a figurine or images of dragons and turtles on your desktop . To fulfill your career plans in the eastern or northeastern part, it is worth placing a crystal made from natural quartz. Moreover, it is desirable that the crystal is illuminated for at least three hours a day.
The chair must have armrests and a high back. It symbolizes support, stability and confidence. Chairs that do not completely cover your back do not bring good luck. The ideal chair height is 190cm.
The workplace should always be in perfect order. Any clutter or papers that are rarely used accumulate stagnant energy, so they should be put away in folders.
the wires from your computer and other office equipment into one bundle so that they do not create erratic energy flows.
Workplace lighting should be bright enough, but not so blinding. Try to avoid angular table lamps and give preference to lamps with curved legs. The overhead light source should not be directly above your head. Make sure that the corners of other furniture do not look at your desktop; if this cannot be avoided, cover the corners with flowers.
Office windows that open inward are detrimental to career advancement.
Feng Shui Enterprises
Name
We should start with the name, since this is a kind of business card of the enterprise and Feng Shui attaches quite a lot of importance to this point. The fact is that the name of an enterprise is a kind of beacon that indicates the direction of energy flows. If mistakes are made at this stage, the enterprise simply does not realize its potential. That is, the interior decoration is built ideally, the entrance is also conducive to receiving clients, but there are simply none or very few of them.
The reason for this is that the name indicated on the sign or in a special place allocated for this purpose was chosen incorrectly. First of all, as experts note, it is necessary to think logically and not chase what you think is a beautiful word.
The name of the enterprise should reflect the essence of its activities.
You cannot call a company that produces something a travel agency and vice versa. The semantic dissonance that arises in this case creates a favorable atmosphere for attracting negative energy.
No one likes to be misled, and this is exactly what happens when a person, subconsciously expecting one thing, stumbles upon something completely different. The result of this substitution is negative emotions that settle inside your enterprise. That is why choose your name carefully and make sure that it is related to the activities that occur in your company.
The next point that needs to be mentioned is the increasing sonority in the name of the company. The most voiced syllable should be at the end of the word, and not at the beginning. Fading words and phrases never remain in the minds of clients for long, and if they do get there, it becomes almost impossible to remember them a little later.
Another point is brevity. Everyone knows the saying about this quality and talent. The same rules apply here too. Long names, even for large companies, are reduced to an abbreviation. A meaningful word is much easier to remember and usually has a much more pronounced emotional connotation. Such a word leaves a mark in the memory as bright and memorable as a blow from a whip. This is why many global brands use very short names.
Short, clear and with the right meaning - such a name will become a truly valuable decoration for your entrance and the entire enterprise as a whole.
In addition, it will provide you with a fairly large flow of both energy and clients. This finely constructed balance ensures that the name of your company will be the first to emerge in a person’s mind when he needs one or another service provided by your company.
Entrance
The next stage is entry. Here the elaboration is somewhat simpler, but it is also necessary.
To begin with, you need to decide how many clients you are going to encounter; the style and size of the doors depends on this. Of course, every entrepreneur wants to have many clients, but here it should be understood that the number of clients also depends on the company’s activities. You cannot compare the customer flow in a store and in a large construction company. This leads to a fairly logical rule.
If your activity is connected with a huge client base, for example, a store or beauty salon, then the entrance should be as open and wide as possible. This seems to indicate that your enterprise will easily accommodate a large number of people.
Ideally, if the entrance is equipped with stained glass windows and is made of glass, this will ensure maximum influx of favorable energy.
In the case of individual work with each client, it is necessary to enter in a fairly discreet manner. In addition, if we are talking about activities related to working with very wealthy clients, then the entrance doors should carry a feeling of security and inaccessibility. For Qi flows, overcoming them will not be a problem, but clients will feel calm and trust you with their funds.
Internal structure
This is the most difficult point, since the variability here is quite high and requires an individual approach. However, there are a number of general rules and we will talk about them below.
The first thing to note is that Feng Shui does not tolerate sharp corners. As you remember, energy flows are somewhat similar to the flow of a river and any sharp or protruding edges simply cut them and introduce an imbalance in the circulation process.
It is especially important to use rounded shapes in rooms that are closest to the entrance, since it is from here that flows spread throughout all other rooms.
It would be ideal to make a rounded, smooth tabletop for the counter where the reception desk is located. This will put clients in a favorable mood and allow for a harmonious flow of flows.
It is also best to place moving water in the customer reception area. It represents the influx of clients and material resources. It is important to note that the water should circulate and not flow away, since only in this case will it have a beneficial effect.
An aquarium with fish will also have a good effect on the state of affairs in your business.
It is only necessary to make a reservation that it must be clean, like the water in it, and the fish must be healthy. Otherwise, the presence of such an aquarium will lead to stagnation in business and “illness” of the enterprise itself.
Experts do not allow the presence of columns indoors. They, like sharp corners, break the flow of Qi, which negatively affects the activity of the enterprise.
The abundance of mirrors should not create endless corridors. This happens when two reflective surfaces are located opposite each other. What for us is an optical illusion for energy becomes a kind of trap; once here, the flow simply disappears without passing further. This is especially negative in cases where such a corridor is created in an area close to the entrance.
The more green plants there are indoors, the better. They are a kind of absorbent means that absorb all the negativity. In business, negative moments occur quite often, so the use of plants is simply necessary.
Do not give up various Feng Shui accessories. Various figurines and objects noticeably increase the flow of positive energy and form a kind of protection for the room. In addition, there are a large number of all kinds of figures and figurines that increase financial well-being; it is best to place them in the office of the management, then they will influence the company, and not any individual employee.
