In reality if
you work for a corporation or large organization you may not have any or many options
when it comes to the location or the setup of your office or office space?
However as
long as you have your own personal desk you can at least consider the way you
work at this desk.
Many office
layouts incorporate an open plan design with cubicles for individuals. This is not necessarily an auspicious option
as the first thing you will likely be confronted with is a block in front of
you where the partition separates you from your colleagues. The only thing you can do in this situation
is to place an auspicious poster or picture on the partition to inspire
you. It is preferable if it shows open
spaces and somewhere you would like to spend time to symbolically open up your
space.
Keep the bulk
of your work on the left hand side of you to ensure the Dragon is higher than
the Tiger which is on the right hand side.
This gives you the support of the mighty Dragon and invites the
protection of the Tiger rather than have it revert to its naturally aggressive
nature.
Two things to
ensure are that you can see anyone approaching your desk and you have the
support of a partition or a wall behind you.
Keep your desk
clear and tidy with a ‘bright hall’ or clear area in front to allow your
creativity to flow. This is especially
important if you are looking to progress in your chosen career.
Working from
home, or working in your own business gives you the ability to choose your own
space.
One important
suggestion is to have a solid wooden office door to enable you to separate your
working life from your home life. You
can also have a sign on the door with the name of your Company. This differentiates your office from the rest
of your home.
There is the
saying ‘don’t take your work home with you’ and this is as important (if not
more so) when you work from home as when you work in an external office
environment. The temptation can always
be to do ‘just one more thing’ and this can escalate preventing you from having
any time for yourself or your family.
Inviting symbolic auspicious images into your office to boost the positive Feng Shui of your
career.
Birds always
invite positive messages and displaying images of birds inside your office door
can help deflect any bad luck.
The mythical bird of the South, the Phoenix, is a symbol of new
opportunities
The Crane symbolises longevity
The Eagle symbolises
wealth
Even the lowly
Rooster, the Chinese astrological animal of the West, can play its part. This is particularly relevant if you work in
an external office or work from home for an external organization. By placing an image of the Rooster behind you
it will symbolically provide an effective antidote to office politics by
pecking away at the negative energies created.
