On average people spend 8 or more hours a day at work, behind a desk or working in a specific area. Feng Shui is a great tool to get the best of every day situations: learn how to position your desk or chair to optimize your work options.

These are a few steps that can help you to improve the flow of Chi and prevent adverse influences in your working space:

Feng Shui Tips in the office: To improve intellect, rational thinking and new ideas for your work projects, boost the Chi of the South West side of your office or desk. Open the window or a door on the South West, place a small plant with yellow flowers over your desk with brown pebbles on the top and display a small red or orange crystal or paper-weight; this will encourage stability and better work relationships at work.

• De-Clutter is a must. Forget all the “just in case I’ll need it” items and have only what you really use every day.
• Follow ergonomic rules and have a chair and desk appropriate to your size.
• Proportions are important; a big desk or too much furniture in a small area makes a person feel constricted and can limit the results of their efforts.
• The chair is a very important piece of furniture that gives you comfort and security; always have a chair with a back; if not, always keep your back close to a solid wall or partition.
• If your back is towards a window, make sure that the back of the chair is tall and strong, this is especially so for people in managing positions.
