Use Compass arrange your Furniture and plan Decor, allow Chi flowing in your Office

Your furniture arrangement should allow the chi to flow as smoothly as possible. Always place your furniture and decorative objects in simple, balanced configurations. It is best to position your furniture parallel to the walls. If your room is very large, however, you can position some pieces of furniture diagonally in the corners to create a feeling of roundness.

Avoid creating obstacles by putting too much furniture in a room or by using furniture that is too large for the space. Also, avoid arranging your furniture in ways that interfere with, or complicate, normal routines. Use common sense.

It is always best to leave the center of your work space or room open and free from obstruction. Leaving the center of the room open allows the chi to circulate and helps relieve stress. If your work space or room is too small for the center to remain open, arrange the space so that there still is one open area. You can do this by leaving one wall or a significant part of a wall bare. If you have three walls filled with shelves, pictures, and other objects, and one wall empty, the empty wall will serve as a resting place for your eyes and will refresh your mental energy.

The Desk

Depending on the function of your office, your furniture may include a desk, a table for your computer, a drawing board or table, bookcases, shelves, file cabinets, chairs and/or a couch, and works of art. The most important piece of furniture in your office is your desk, or your computer table or drawing board. The position of your desk is thus the first thing to consider. Try to avoid placing it in any of the following positions:

• Avoid placing the desk so that when sitting at it you directly face the doorway. If you have no alternative, put large plants behind you.
• Avoid placing the desk so that the doorway is directly behind your back. If you have no alternative, put up a mirror that allows you to see the doorway from where you sit. The mirror does not have to be large_; think of it as a rearview mirror in a car.
• Avoid placing the desk so that the doorway is directly to your side. If you have no alternative, cut a Talisman 1 from, mount it on a white mat, and frame it with white or silver. Hang it on the wall opposite the doorway.
• Avoid placing the desk so that you sit with your back to a window. If you have no alternative, cover the window area behind you with blinds or plants.
• Avoid placing the desk flat against a window so that when sitting there you face directly out the window, unless the window looks to the north and no one can look in at you.
• Avoid placing the desk flat against a mirror so that when sitting there you directly face your reflection.

• Avoid placing the desk where you feel cramped.
• It is always good to sit with your back to a wall so that you look into the room. However, if you are working at a computer table or drawing board, or if the room is very small, you might prefer to sit with your table or desk against a wall. If you sit facing a wall, it is best to sit where you can see the doorway out of the corner of your eye.

If you share an office with one or two other people, follow the preceding guidelines for placement of their desks. Keep the following rules in mind. Avoid placing any desk with the doorway directly behind or directly in front of it. Try to avoid placing any desk with a window directly behind it. Avoid placing a desk directly against a window. It is fine to place a desk with the window to its side, however.

If two people are face-to-face in a room, one sitting with his back to the doorway or window and the other with her back to the wall, the one with her back to the wall will be in the more powerful position.

In an office where there are several desks, it is permissible to place one of the desks with the doorway to its side. Do not, however, place the desks so that they squarely face each other from opposite sides of the room. When people are forced to look directly at each other, the atmosphere always becomes discordant.

The Compass Orientation of your Desk

If your office space offers you more than one possibility for placement of your desk, try to place it so that the compass direction of one of your lucky stars, or a compass direction in harmony with your birth star, is to your back when you sit at the desk. For example, if you have 8 Earth Star as one of your lucky stars, position your desk so that you would sit with the northeast to your back. If your birth star is 7 Metal Star, position your desk so that you would sit with the west, southwest, northwest, north, or northeast to your back.

Considering the spatial limitations of a cubicle, your main concern should be to avoid having the entrance to the cubicle behind you when you are sitting at your desk.

Arrangement of Secondary Furniture and Art of Objects

In considering your file cabinets, shelves, bookcases, chairs and/or couch, and works of art, try to be as orderly and simple as possible. The furniture should be arranged so that your room feels balanced. It should be easy for you to move around, and all information should be easily accessible from your desk. Avoid cluttering the room and blocking the doorway and windows. It is best if bookcases and shelves are uniform in height. Do not hang your pictures and photos in a haphazard or zigzag way. It is best to keep the tops of your pictures in an even horizontal line. If you hang pictures one under the other, keep them centered, larger and smaller pictures should be arranged in well-balanced configurations. The more logically and simply you arrange your office, the more organized your work will be.
