When you can learn to balance the energy in your work environment, your own energy will be in harmony. When that happens, all of the things you want in life will be on their way to you–it’s a simple case of cause and effect, the law of attraction in action.

No matter where you work, you can be sure that the energy flow has to be optimum if you want your business to have success. The science of Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of creating harmony and attracting luck by working with the environment, by adapting the principles of Feng Shui a lot can be achieved in terms of work, career and business which also ensure a happier workplace.

In the recent years, Feng Shui has become quite popular in interior decorating to ensure a home is filled with happiness, prosperity, good luck and love. But homes are not the only place that benefit from the principles of Feng Shui—businesses do as well.

The art and science of Feng Shui is all about the environment around us and that includes workplaces and the methods to balance nature’s energies. A few basic realignments, and tweaking can help improve relationships between associates and even enhance the career prospects of the entire team.  It is said that when the energy is in harmony, the occupants in the building feel good. That’s when it starts to naturally draw people and opportunities bringing in renewed vigor and energy for all that one wants to achieve.

The environment is so important that it even indirectly determines the type of relationships, finances, career opportunities that space would attract, affecting the overall quality of life and efficiency of the occupants and team members in a business place.

By balancing your office for supportive energy and aligning your personal design tastes with the type of work you do, you have the formula for improved focus, productivity and more success. Creating balance eliminates many of the energy drainers in your workplace and reduces stress. 

As mentioned by many Feng Shui practitioners, the most important golden rule to usher in good Feng Shui is to ensure that the space is clutter-free.  If you energize certain areas of your office which has clutter, indirectly the clutter is the one which gets energized and empowers it. Apart from clutter, light and fresh air are essential to lift the spirits of the occupants and make them feel more enthusiastic. A well-lit room brightens moods and spirits. Whenever possible, let it be natural light. Keep windows uncovered; if you must have some privacy or shade, opt for sheer window treatments.

Keep your office lobby and working desk area well lit at all times because light brings the yang energy that causes good fortune to grow and accumulate.

Conceal any cables and electrical wiring as this helps to reduce mess and also helps to release channels of positive energy.

Paint office walls with colours that provide supportive energy for the work being done. Avoid the hard, stress-oriented energy created by white walls. Use colours to distress the space.
