Sometime in 1999, some friends of mine Feng shui-ed my office. I concentrated most of the energy in the “wealth sector” and tripled my income in one year. Since then, I’m a convert, albeit a sloppy one.
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement. Each space is broken into a grid with nine sectors:
Wealth – Fame – Love
Family – Health -Children
Wisdom – Career – Helpful People
The trick is to move your stuff around to enhance the flow of energy in the sectors where you want it to concentrate.
It works better if you keep the place neat and tidy – not one of my better skills. Still I’m a convert based on past results.
In the office we just moved from, the wealth sector was inaccessible. In this office I’ve plunked myself down in the middle of it. It’s too early to tell if it is working, although so far the signs are all positive.
For a good book on the subject, I recommend MOVE YOUR STUFF, CHANGE YOUR LIFE by Karen Rauch Carter. It’s easy and fun to read. In the meantime, move your desk into the wealth sector and see what happens.
