Magic Ratio in the Office


The Magic Ratio of Feng Shui is exactly the same as the Golden Ratio; the Golden Rectangle or the Golden Mean.
 
Historically in the West it has been incorporated into the design of buildings such as the Parthenon in Athens, the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Pyramid in Egypt. 

In Feng Shui terms all of these structures are Yin (still) Energy as they were built as either temples (in the case of the Parthenon) or burial chambers (The Taj Mahal and the Great Pyramid.)
  
However, as they are also a link with the heavens, by conforming to the 1:1.618 rectangle they were auspicious for their purpose and their external appearance is an attraction for millions of visitors each year.
 
This is borne out by the fascination that these structures have held for many generations past and will no doubt remain so for many generations to come.

Yang Feng Shui is concerned with the living, breathing world; with life and activity, with light and sound and with shapes and colour.
 
It is for this reason that using the Magic Ratio to create an auspicious and harmonious home will, by extension, create a happy home.

It is for this reason that using the Magic Ratio to create a productive and  flourishing business space will, by extension, create a profitable business, complete with happy and dedicated staff.

When you have your own office building, Hotel or even Restaurant, the first thing your clients will see is the foyer area or entrance.  In Feng Shui terms this section should be inviting and welcoming.  Ensure it is well lit, clean, clear and tidy creating a feeling of positive expectation for the visitor.  This is an area that will benefit from having each of the Five Elements present.

It is important however to remember scale, so if the space is small the décor and fittings should be chosen with care to maximise the dimensions without compromising on the attraction of positive energy.

Enhancing this area by utilising the Magic Ratio of 1:1.618 will invite positive Chi to enter and gather harmoniously before flowing through the rest of the building in a gentle and meandering way.

The staff in this area will be positively influenced by the effects of the Magic Ratio and they will greet your visitors and guests in a welcoming way making them instantly feel comfortable and important.

Flooring can be laid to demarcate the space and colour on the walls can mirror this. Place a seating area within the Magic Ratio in proportion to the size of the foyer to create unity.

When renovating or updating your office space, Hotel or Restaurant, aim to create auspicious spaces according to the Magic Ratio.  Not only will this attract success in your business endeavours, the benefits of creating these inviting areas will also ensure your employees are happier, work better and are more committed to supporting the business and its positive growth.
  
It will create a harmonious and productive working environment and invite endless opportunities.

To the fulfillment of your dreams
