Feng Shui Tips For Placing Your Desk



Here are some quick Feng Shui Tips for placing your desk in an auspicious position.

 
The most ideal locations to situate a home office, in order of best to last are the North (the Career Sector), the Southwest (the Wealth sector), the Northeast (Skills and Talents sector) or the South (the fame and recognition sector.)

 
Always sit with a solid wall behind your back. Wall represent emotional and financial support. A back with no wall is not supported by life. Never sit with a window behind you as it makes your back a point of vulnerability for negative chi.

 
Position your desk to have a clear view of the door. If this isn’t possible, hang a small mirror so you can easily view the door’s reflection.

 
Don’t put a shelf over your desk. This symbolizes things that will “hang over your head” and monkeys on your back. The sharp corners of shelves can be harsh shar chi.  If you do have a shelf over your head hang chimes from it and don’t overload it with heavy objects as the shelf can symbolize burdens.
