How To Feng Shui A Business
Every company desires success and there are numerous methods to achieve it. But have you considered the benefits of incorporating Feng Shui?
While the ‘how’ is important, first we need to talk about your ‘why…’
By incorporating Feng Shui into your business practices, you can promote the flow of positive energy or “Qi” and ultimately increase productivity.
A thriving business is one with an efficient, harmonious and well-organized workspace. That’s where Feng Shui comes in, it provides guidance on how to create a successful business environment.
By implementing Feng Shui, you not only strengthen your business but also inspire your team!
Feng Shui harnesses the existing energy and directs it towards supporting the continued success of your company. This results in growth and improvement.
Feng Shui has been used in businesses for many years. Companies of all sizes, including large corporations and small businesses, have incorporated its principles into their surroundings.
Even well-known companies like British Airways, Coca-Cola, Ford, Hilton, and McDonald’s have utilized Feng Shui in their offices.
These businesses are highly successful, proving that the ancient practices of Feng Shui still have a significant impact on modern, forward-thinking companies.
9 Tips To Feng Shui Your Business
1. Boost productivity with command position of desks:
In Feng Shui, the placement of desks in a business is important for the overall energy and productivity of the space. The CEO’s desk, in particular, should be placed in the “commanding position.”
This means that the desk should be facing the door, but not directly in line with it. This positioning allows the CEO to have a clear view of the office, possibly the front door, and be in a position of power and control.
2. Align staff roles and locations of work:
Feng Shui also emphasizes the importance of aligning staff roles with their physical work locations.
For example, employees who handle financial matters should be placed in the wealth and money area of the office, with access to energy that boosts their clear and precise energy so they don’t make mistakes.
The creative and marketing teams can benefit from being located in the creative and inspirational areas, and sometimes including energy that will encourage innovative thinking with a competitive edge.
This alignment can promote better performance and productivity from employees and improve your bottom line significantly.
3. Identify and enhance the wealth Qi:
In Feng Shui, there is a concept of Qi (‘Chi’ / energy) that flows through a space. By identifying the wealth Qi in the Feng Shui map of your business, you can enhance and circulate it to attract more wealth and financial success.
This can (sometimes) be enhanced through the use of Feng Shui cures, such as placing money plants, peace lily, lucky bamboo, crystals or water features in specific areas of the office.
Ultimately though, it is about ensuring the wealth Qi has access to the space, is free flowing and not hindered by any negative features.
4. Mitigate negative Feng Shui areas:
Just as there are beneficial areas in Feng Shui, there are also areas that could potentially bring negative energy and impact the success of your business.
These areas include sharp corners, cluttered spaces, and stagnant, dark zones.
By identifying these negative areas and implementing Feng Shui cures, such as using mirrors or plants, you can mitigate any potential issues and create a more harmonious energy in the office.
5. Place water features strategically:
Water is an important element in Feng Shui, as it most often represents wealth and abundance. However, the placement of water features in your business should be done carefully.
When placed correctly, water features can activate wealth and prosperity, but if placed incorrectly, they can cause financial problems.
It is imperative we consult to determine the best placement for water features in your business.
6. Use interior design to create a harmonious flow:
Feng Shui also emphasizes the importance of a harmonious flow of energy in a space.
This can be achieved through the use of specific interior design elements, such as using natural light, incorporating plants and nature-inspired decor, and having a clear path for clients to move through the space.
A harmonious flow can create a pleasant atmosphere for both employees and clients, promoting positive energy and relationships.
7. Bright lighting for positive Qi:
In Feng Shui, light is seen as a symbol of positive energy. Bright and well-lit spaces are believed to attract positive Qi and promote a sense of vitality and motivation in a business environment.
Make sure to incorporate appropriate lighting in your office design to encourage positive and vibrant energy.
8. Use a suitable colour palette:
Colours have a strong influence on our emotions and moods, and Feng Shui takes this into consideration when designing a business space.
Depending on the type of business, certain colours may be more beneficial than others.
For example, blue is associated with trust and communication, making it a good choice for a law firm or a consultancy business. Green is associated with creativity and pioneering new ways, making it beneficial for a competitive design agency.
9. Optimize main door/entrance placement:
The main door / entrance of a business is an important aspect of Feng Shui, as it is where energy enters and circulates throughout the space.
It is essential to have a clear and inviting entrance, free of clutter and obstacles. This is not only beneficial for Feng Shui, it’s about creating an inviting and welcoming entrance for your loyal clients.
The placement of the door should also be considered carefully, as it should not be directly aligned with another door or a window. This can create a rush of energy that can disrupt the flow of Qi in the business.
Ideally the main entrance must be aligned specifically to your type of business, and have access to wealth Qi.
Do You Love Your Business?
Or more to the point, do you understand the importance of Feng Shui love in your business?
No, don’t dismiss it yet. It’s not just a home decor trend or some spiritual belief. Feng Shui has been used by successful businesses for centuries for its practical and strategic benefits.
At its core, Feng Shui is about creating harmony and balance in your environment. And in the business world, that means maximizing the flow of positive energy to support your success.
Think about it, a well-designed and organized office space can increase productivity and efficiency. A cluttered and chaotic space, on the other hand, can lead to stress and affect decision-making.
Feng Shui helps you tap into the energy of your location. Just like how the placement of furniture and objects affects the flow of energy in a space, the location of your business can also have an impact.
By understanding the energy of your surroundings, you can make informed decisions on which direction to expand, where to place your entrance, or where to hold important meetings.
But perhaps the most significant advantage of using Feng Shui in your business is the ability to align your intention and actions with the energy of success. As the saying goes;
Your thoughts create your reality
By intentionally setting up your space to reflect your goals and success, you are sending a powerful message to the Universe that you are ready to receive abundance.
So don’t underestimate the power of Feng Shui in business. It may just be the missing piece to your success puzzle. Embrace its principles and see how it can help you achieve your goals and take your business to new heights.
