8 Feng Shui Tips For Your Workplace

Workplaces provide the perfect opportunity to practice Feng Shui Principles. Here are 8 Feng Shui Tips for your workplace Feng Shui Your Workplacethat will help you create an environment that promotes happiness and success in your job, and, ultimately, your life.

1. Clean and De-Clutter

Clutter is the number one thing that impedes the flow of positive energy and thus personal fulfillment. Those piles of papers and other junk on your desk create stagnant energy and may cause you to feel blocked. A Feng Shui inspired workplace that is neat, clean, and organized will lead to better eficiency and a clear mind.

2. Lighten and Brighten

If you are feeling isolated or depressed at work, the problem may be stemming from a lack of light. As you sit in a gloomy environment, you will attract thoughts and expressions of negativity. Open the curtains or shades if there are any, add task lighting, and use lighter and brighter colors in your work space. Wall sconces will bounce light off the walls and ceiling and will uplift the energy of your workplace.

3. Create a Vision Board

Your workplace is an ideal place to have a vision board. It will help you manifest your goals and aspirations every time you glance up from your work. Fill it with pictures and symbols that uplift you. At the same time, remove anything in your workplace that reminds you of unsuccessful projects or of people who do not support you.

4. Add a Plant

Plants are used in Feng Shui to increase and lift energy, and adding a plant to your workplace is a quick way to remove stagnant energy. Place one in a corner where energy needs to circulate, or put one next to your computer for instant rejuvenation.

5. Add a Water Feature

Water symbolizes money, which is why you see fountains in many places where Feng Shui practitioners want to stimulate finances. Having a small water fountain in your workplace is an excellent Feng Shui tip that will help you keep your wealth circulating. Always have the water flowing toward you because you want money to be flowing toward you. Aquariums with their bubbling water are also auspicious features to have in a workplace.

6. Use Symbols To Represent Your Goals

Artwork, inspirational sayings, and symbols of success are powerful tools to help you manifest your goals. Display these in your workplace to help you keep moving forward.

7. Display Your Awards

Awards, recognitions, diplomas: these are all things that tell the world how uniquely wonderful you are. When you are working, you should feel good about yourself, so keep those reminders in plain sight. Certificates, a note from a thankful client, and articles that have been written about you are also considered good Feng Shui when displayed prominantly as the energy they create will attract more of these things.

8. Place Your Desk in the Best Position

The best location for your desk is diagonally opposite the door with your back to a solid wall to support you. Facing a window as you work is a wonderful way to stimulate your mind as long as the view is pleasing and not distracting. However, if you sit with your back to a window, all your creativity and money-making ability will flow right out the window. Do not sit directly facing the door either as you will be bombarded by too much incoming energy rushing toward you causing stress and agitation. A desk that faces a wall is also considered bad Feng Shui because the wall blocks you and also leaves you vulnerable to people coming up behind you.

Whatever your passion is, it requires harmony and efficiency in order to succeed. Creating a beautiful workplace with these Feng Shui tips in mind will lead to opportunities and make your goals more accessible. Jayme Barrett, best-selling author of Feng Shui Your Life, writes in her book:

"Creating momentum and motivation is the key to your success...and an inspiring workplace."
