Dark & Light
Wind and Water = Harmony and Balance
Although Feng Shui is a thousand year old practice, today the Feng Shui practice has several interpretations when you search the internet. At the basis of the concept there is a focus on the placement of items in your space that encourage or block the flow of energy in your space. Some practices include a focus on specific items like statues and stationary, representation of the five elements with color and materials, and the spirit of animals. My preferred definition is that it is a method to harness the harmony of the energy in the environment to improve human life.
Feng Shui Placement
- Your desk should be in a commanding position and not under a beam or drop down ceiling.
- Try to place your desk front of tall furniture like bookcases for support behind you.
- Use natural light as much as possible. Face the window if possible.
- Make sure your desk faces the door and out of the flow of traffic.
- Manage and maintain your clutter.
- Add positive scents.
- Add stationary, calligraphy pens.
- Use natural elements, like wood and stone.
- Add animal sculptures with positive associations. ie. Dragons = Power, Wealth and Abundance, Horses = Success, Wealth, Speed, Strength and Nobility. Others include money grog, turtles, lions, roosters, winged lions, ducks
