Workplace Feng Shui Tips
July 17, 2010 Online Promotion No CommentsAre you feeling stressed at work? Is one getting too much to bear? Many people have turned to Feng Shui of late, in solving their workplace pressures. This ancient Chinese art form has been used for generations amongst the Chinese people, to help with normal day-to-day problems by simply redirecting "Chi" - an invisible form of nature's energy that resides in every living thing (including us).
There are two different types of energies with regards to Chi. There is the positive as well as negative energy that flows through us and around us. The key to peace of mind and happiness is balance. When the energies go out of whack, we suffer the consequences and the side effects and come in the form of stress or unhappiness.
You can start using Feng Shui as well in your office environment to help you focus, relax and also relieve in work related stress.
Here are several quick tips for you to apply to your workplace surroundings, to achieve a positive aura immediately. It is easy to do and best of all it's free. You will find that by just changing a few small things on your desk, you can achieve huge overall changes in your mood as well as perhaps even your health.
Placing a small plant on your desk is a great way to energize your immediate workspace. Fresh flowers are also a lovely way to brighten up. Bamboo and money trees a top picks for Feng Shui. If you place a plant in a red pot of the East side of your desk, you will help to encourage good health and positive energy, whilst placing the pot towards the southeast will attract more wealth into your life.
Sometimes it can be hard to control the atmosphere around you when you share your workspace with your colleagues. This is particularly true in part workspaces and cubicle situations. High pressure work environments only make this worse. Listening to music can help you tune out, whenever you're having a bad day at work. The music will help you relax as well as alleviate the outside forces of negativity. Listening to calming music or repeated loops of sound clips through earphones can help you escape into your own little world. Choose tunes such as sounds of oceans, or wind chimes clinking with the gentle breeze. Some people even prefer to listen to gentle classical music, as this will help to stimulate the mind as well as drown out unwanted influences.
You can create a sense of ambience as well if you have your own office space that is enclosed. Scented candles can be an excellent addition, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for you to work in. Just remember to never leave the candle burning unattended and keep it away from paper as well as other flammable objects.
A better alternative that will create the same effect, is to use an electric oil burner with your choice of scent. Scents such as lavender are a great pick me up, and so is Neroli or any orange/lemon scented oils. The Neroli can be wonderful for calming a tired mind and is ideal for repelling negativity as well as burning out of the brain. Hopefully, these Feng Shui will be useful to you in creating the ultimate and most relaxing workplace environment.
