Enhancing Your Business With Feng Shui

Most of us want our businesses to be "powerhouses", where there is a great deal of energy, activity and production, in perfectly manageable doses. Even in the "quieter" healing professions, a steady flow of energized clients is desired. Achieving this takes a variety of efforts on many different levels--professional training, advertising, networking, accounting, etc. Yet many of us overlook the very real impact that our actual physical work space can have on our goals.

Beyond the common sense basics, like having a clear and organized desk space, well-kept records and files, and up-to-date equipment, there are numerous spatial remedies and enhancements that Feng Shui offers for business success. Looking at your workplace through "Feng Shui eyes" will show you exactly where to apply a change to achieve more success in your business.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese art which uses the balanced placement of everyday objects to harmonize both our inner and outer environments. Furniture placement, specific objects and decorations, colors, textures and room energetics are all scrutinized and balanced. For example, in a business or home office, Feng Shui will suggest you place your desk in the "power position" in the room. This position will have your chair facing the door or entry opening, with a solid wall directly behind you. Windows should be at your sides rather than directly behind you if possible, but curtains or a blocking plant can provide a solid wall feeling if needed.

When situated this way, you will feel protected at your back and ready to encounter safely anything that is coming your way. The effect this has on your energy, and even on your health, is much greater than one would expect--our primitive "fight or flight" readiness response is calmed and we gain energy.

Feng Shui works in a similar manner to address the location of your business, the approach and entryway(s), retail or service situations, the actual layout of merchandise, and all other aspects that promote sales. Feng Shui also looks at enhancing the well-being of the employees--making sure that their comfort in the workspace translates into increased productivity and generally raised energy levels for the entire business.

Whether you want to increase your client flow, change your customer base, increase your efficiency at work, bring overdue projects to completion, or any other business goal--applied Feng Shui techniques can assist you with uncanny accuracy.

Feng Shui uses the map of the "Bagua" to identify eight areas in a space which best holds specific energies such as Career, Wealth, Helpful People, Creativity, etc. Careful enhancements of these areas will allow more Ch'i, or life force, to flow through those areas of your life. For example, placing an abundantly healthy green plant in the Health area of an office will have an immediate positive effect, as will the colors red, blue and purple when placed in the Wealth area. A skilled Feng Shui practitioner will be able to discover your main business concerns and suggest physical changes to create an environmental affirmation of your specific goals.

Usually the initial simple remedies of Feng Shui prove so successful that business owners continue with the larger improvements as their profits and positive life changes increase. As both a practical science and an intuitive art, Feng Shui can transform your work environment into the place where all of your true talents can blossom and prosper.
