Feng Shui in the office is perhaps one of the most natural ways to stay sane during a busy work week.  Feng Shui attracts positive energy, making it a good way to help stay relaxed and stress free.  If you work in an office environment you know how hard it can be to relax at work.  This is where Feng Shui can come in to help you stay focused and feel better.  If you have a very small space, you may think it is impossible to Feng Shui your office space.  However, no matter what the size of your space is you can make an impact through Feng Shui.

There are some things that can be done in an office of any size.  For example, most people can control which direction their furniture faces in their office space.  It is good Feng Shui to have the chair you use be backed by a wall or corner.  This symbolizes support, not only for the back but also for ideas.  Also, no matter the size of your office, you should place your computer in the Northern or Western most area of your space.  This will enhance creativity, making work more productive and affluent.

As with all other Feng Shui spaces, it is important to remove all clutter from the space.  Offices are notorious for becoming filled with clutter, so this is an easy place to start for anyone.  Removing clutter will enhance the ability for positive Chi to flow through the office.  Computer and electronic cords should be out of sight and well organized.  Keep your files organized and clutter free as a form of respect.  Files are symbolic of your past, present, and even future business.

To increase the positive energy in your office space, introduce the Feng Shui element of water into the space.  If you have room for an aquarium, place one in the North or East area of the office.  This could be a standing aquarium or even a small desk top fish bowl.  If you do not want the commitment of keeping a pet, you can still bring the element in.  You can also use a fountain, either free standing or tabletop, and it will have the same affect.

Most of us work hard to bring wealth and prosperity into our lives.  Having a metal element in your office space can help bring both of these to you.  A great way to bring in the Feng Shui element of metal is by having a small safe in your office.  This is not only great for Feng Shui, it is also a smart way to protect your belongings.  Placing the safe in the West or Northwest area of your office space will protect your finances, while also bringing more income to you.
