Dear Cheryl, cheryl ludwig wrote: My best directions for my desk to face are SW and NE. The way my office is situated, for me to move my desk, it would sit diagonally. However, I thought that anything situated like that would not be good feng shui. What is the best possible thing to do in a situation like this? Thank you in advance. It is nice to get everything suitable to your personal feng shui. However, sometimes due to constraints this might not be possible. Especially, for office sitting directionis limited unless you own a room to yourself. Often, most people do not have much choice or flexibility in such changes. From what you mentioned, the current position woul…

White desks may have become popular because of the artistic look they create in every room, but we must not forget their true purpose, and how they help every individual, who uses them, to achieve better performance in every way. They are usually used as desks for office use, student desks and for computers as well. They contribute to success in day-to-day activities plus they create an artistic look in every home. As a perfect desk for office workers, it needs to have spaces to organize papers. You don't want a messy table with files placed everywhere, do you? You want it to be as organized as possible so as to ease your work load. It should have enough dividers for your…

Dear Jo Ellen, Grateful if you can elaborate further. Thanks. Cecil

Dear anon, Usually, it would be good for an employer to install low height partitions at your workspace (if possible). You have not mentioned whether your work space is an open desk or already have a low height partition. If you already have low height partition, this is fairly acceptable in an office environment where one's desk is directly facing the office door. And no further needed. It is good also that your table is possible, moved slightly instead of direclty facing the office door. In an office environment, we have to understand that often staff cannot control the situation. For info, only: see attachment. Some companies use this type of workstations x 4 o…

Dear Anon, In your case, frankly, I would advise you to take up option 2. As you have correctly mentioned, Option 1, especially with the railway line running diagonally behind the office is unfavourable. Option 3 - does not have back support and also not good if one cannot see the door. Overall, do give priority to Shapes and Form Feng Shui - which is Option 2. This is more important than facing your favourable direction. Thus, it is strongly recommended to go for Option 2. You can still consider option 1, but make sure that it is screened out e.g. using blinds. What one cannot see, will no longer remain a threat. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheryl, cheryl ludwig wrote: I am attempting to feng shui my office. The main door to the office building faces west. The entry door to my office is in the SE. Which one do I use as my main door when trying to calculate the main door in order to feng shui? If you plan to do the feng shui for the entire building, then you take the main door to the office building facing west. However, since you are doing the feng shui for your own office location only, then you should take the entry door to your office which is South-East. Hope that helps.

Hi Anon, Nntp Guest wrote: My boss upon seeking their master's advice, put a 6ft tall plant outside my room. According to my colleague, this is to prevent the person in that room (i.e. now its me) to leave the company. This means that I am stuck with this company whether I like it or not. And I have been feeling uncomfortable since the plant was placed outside my room. Is there a way to counter this and make me feel better working in that room? As you are only an employee in the office, it is difficult for you to put or suggest removal of the plant. So probably only thing you can do is attempt to add Metal to balance the plant. One suggest would be to have a 6 coins wit…

Dear Desmond, One must always realise that Feng Shui is not a miracle cure for all sorts of problems. Feng Shui main goal is to attempt to create a nice environment that everyone will feel comfortable in it. Once you feel comfortable with the environment thing should go much better for you. In terms of an Office Environment, there are a lot more factors which is beyond Feng Shui. Such as Boss and Employee relationship. There is no amount of Feng Shui that can change the attitude of a boss to an employee. This is more towards Human Luck or Human to Human relationship or even Employee to Employee relationship. I mean if you do your job well, and the boss still picks on …

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, ideally, one should not use a large cactus to neutralize the sha qi. 2. A large (indoor) plant would be a better alternative. It can also be an artificial plant. Also, on a "commonsense" approach, it would not be ideal to place a large cactus plant in a shopping complex or office as someone may accidently brush against it or their bags etc..

Dear Miriam, In my earlier e-mail, I mentioned that this may not be a `luxury' for many of us. For example, when we do a survey or an audit for a company; if it is a reasonably large business that may occupy an entire floor or many floors; a professional geomancer looks at: 1. Since the entire floor is empty; the best location can be chosen for say the CEO and his/her deputies anywhere on a floor. This selection takes into account factors like Flying Star of the entire floor or a 360 degree analysis of the entire floor. And the same goes for crucial areas such as Reception, Marketing/Sales, R and D, Board room, Finance/Accounts, etc... The purpose is to try to fit variou…

Work place that is assigned to me is obviously a "CUBICLE WORK SPACE", where i do not have the freedom of organising my furniture or my sitting position or anything.

From Enemy,Jealousy,Backbiters and Office Politics. Before giving you details about my sitting position, I would like to add, I love Bamboo Sticks in small g…

Dear Jason, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Monday, June 28, 1999 2:07 PM Subject: Office FengShui If you only have a partition, then you cannot really apply the Flying Star, as it is too small an area for a house/office evaluation type. You can make use of the Eight House instead to face and work in your best direction. The only way you can do it is to use the entrance to the entire office, then take the subsector which you partition resides in. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, 1. A lot of people face difficulties when their desk is in front of a window with a beautiful sea view behind them. Choosing a low or back cabinet, if possible, is usually the best solution. 2. Another option is to position the desk in a way that allows for proper support, like against a wall, while facing a more favorable direction. 3. It's better to sit in this setup rather than having your back against a door or other less fortunate locations. 4. In these situations, one might have to consider other factors like luck, especially the Feng Shui of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil +++ In Summary When setting up a de…

Dear Master Lee I would like to seek your advice for my partner's behalf. His now has a new office room but the layout does not look favourable. The 1 side of room with glass wall, 2 sides of the room with windows has beams and columns/pillars. If the 45 degree from the room door is wealth position, then the wealth position has a big rectangular column and there is beams on top. I would like to know which is more feasible in my proposed Plan A or Plan B. Appreciate your advise. For Plan A, my considerations are: 1) Big beam over the head, 2) back is window 3） odd column For Plan B, my considerations are: 2) Big beam over the head, 2)…

This reminds me (remotely) of another "incident" of the time, I went to Mcdonald's HQ (previously) at their HQ @ 2nd level King Albert's... Search for "mcdonalds" in the forum search function at the top left corner of this forum frame or Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=26725&new= Although the subject matter "Flyover" is the same; their was because of the flyover that was built and curved (sliced) towards their HQ.... Frankly, without any photos or visual images, very difficult to see how bad it is. As it is, it sound real bad. From a Feng Shui point of view; besides looking at the Flying Star numbers; the other key ar…
