Active work space

The basis of Feng Shui is to ensure you are surrounded with things which not only inspire and motivate you but generate a positive vibe and harmony. Be it a home or work environment, creating the right feel, and in synchronicity with the nature’s forces is of great importance.

Aligning the interiors and the furnishing alone ensures excellent Feng Shui when tuned with the compass directions and one can achieve a lot through these methods and proper alignments.

When we adapt the oriental science for designing new homes or a office, the primary concern is to get the space to be in tune with the occupants. In a office set up, it does get tricky as it has to keep in mind many different individuals to be working from there. The location of the office is not normally something over which we have control but its internal layout can make a great difference to the way people feel and behave.

Changes as simple as re-aligning the furniture, painting or moving in healthy plants are at times more than enough. Negativity breeds Negativity so forward planning and planning work programmes holistically, rather than a day-to-day basis will reduce stress.

One of the most important areas of the home or office is the entrance and the main door as this is the place where most energy enters and we tend to churn the energy by walking in and out through these doors — be it home or office.

Improving work relationships is one of the most sought after need of the time. As we all know how the boss rules our worklife and job promotions, using simple Feng Shui tips you can improve relationships with your bosses and colleagues.

Business premises are active, busy sites and the energies to be encouraged are very Yang. Any empty spaces within the building or immediately around it, like empty offices, warehouses and derelict ruins would have to be considered as ‘pools of decay’ and protected against.
