Feng Shui, a classic Chinese philosophy of design, is something between an art and a science. It brings balance, blessings, and abundance to a space through harmonious placement and use of appropriate design elements.
Creating balance and harmony is the essential purpose of Feng Shui. If your environment is in balance, you will feel comfortable and welcome there. That’s the important thing — how your environment makes you feel. Feng Shui principles show that when any element in a design is out of balance — too much of one element and not enough of another (see Figure 1-1), or the elements are in conflict with each other — then you feel out of balance. Without balance you don’t have harmony. In other words, you’ve got the Feng Shui blues. But don’t worry. We have the cure for you.
Feng Shui emphasizes our basic interconnection with nature. At its core, it’s about living in harmony with our environment. When we are in harmony with our environment we are happier and more productive! That’s why you should Feng Shui your workspace.
Feng Shui affects your material success, your health (physical, mental and emotional), and your relationships with others. It does all this even if you pay no attention to where your desk is positioned. If your desk is in the right spot, more power (literally) to you. If it’s in the wrong spot, look out: Even if you don’t pay attention negative energy can leave you feeling ungrounded and less than powerful. Of course this affects your productivity and wealth!
Applying Feng Shui’s principles to your workspace doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. And the rewards are well worth any time and energy you spend.
