I have heard Feng Shui is good, so i would like to have some ideas i can use in my own space at the office any suggest for it? it is small is not a single room for me…

Hi, the area you work is a great place to start with Feng Shui.
There are many different levels of analysis or schools of Feng Shui which will help to personalize the space for your building and location however some generic principles can be used without knowing the building or office feng shui chart.
These are:

1. Clutter-remove stuff that is not used anymore or is not related to the main tasks that you perform at your desk. e.g. old paperwork/books, cables, boxes etc. Go through all the things and ask yourself if it will help you with the job at hand. Most people like to have a small reminder of their family or friends at their desk such as photos, however don’t let this take over the desk. I have seen many corporate employee desks where they looked more like a toy pen for kids (stuffed toys etc) rather than an office. Balance is paramount in Feng Shui, the aim is to create a balance which enhances a good flow of energy around us.
With clutter, it is ok to have a cluttered desk while you are working there, if that is how you work, however always tidy it away at the end of the day before leaving. This will ensure that when you start the new day, you start fresh and positive.

2. Having your back against a wall is very positive also. When you have your back to an open space it is harder to concentrate as there may be people coming up behind you which is distracting.

3. For ensuring good health and happiness, may I suggest a shiny metallic round object of gold or silver. This could be a ball (it doesn’t have to be made of metal, but it needs to have a shiny metallic surface) or a cup, place it at the top right of your desk. The metal element is a very powerful element for good health.

4.Water is also an important element of success however to have a fountain on or near your desk may not always be possible. Correct placement of water is also important and it would need proper analysis via a compass reading of the office etc. One thing you can do though is you could hang a picture of water up that you can view, make sure it is a beautiful waterscape with smooth, unrushed water flow and has a lot of blue colour.

5. Another positive thing is to face your positive direction according to your year of birth calculation. This is called your gua or kua number. Many sites have this calculator….mine will have it added in the next couple of weeks. This will give you 4 positive and 4 negative directions. Try to ensure though that you have your back against the wall too.

6. Balance of yin and yang. This requres you to look at the balance of your environment. Ensure you have a good balance of light, not too bright, not too dark. Smell; make sure the room or area is pleasant and not too overpowering. Colour is hard to advise on generally as I look at individual charts for properties, each on is different, however one thing is to ensure a balance of colour, again not to bright, not too dark.
Sound is another, ensure a balance there also. Soft playing music that you like if it doesn’t distract you is also a nice addition.

Anyway hope this helps, all the best,
