My clients are always hearing me say “You can Feng Shui everything!” Well, today it’s your precious computer’s turn! It’s very important to give your computer some regular energetic tune-ups, not only because its performance affects our energy and mood (ever have a crash?!) but because it’s also a wealth generator for most businesses and entrepreneurs. When your computer runs quickly, easily and joyfully, so do you and your work!
Here are some quick tips to get—and keep!—the chi moving in a positive way:
1. In Feng Shui, “Helpful People” and “Benefactors” are treasured! Have a computer expert in maintenance and repair and treat them with utmost kindness and respect.
2. Clear stagnant chi by deleting unwanted and unused files, programs and emails and make room (physically and metaphorically) for wonderful new opportunities, customers and clients. Tidy the cords beneath your desk. Keep your screen clean because just like windows in a building, it helps you have the clarity to ‘see’ more clearly where you’re going in your work.
3. Just like the Feng Shui protection cures for our homes and businesses, don’t forget to put some in place for your computer: anti-virus programs, firewalls and so on. Remember to back-up your work and keep it in a safe place—your files are your wealth generators, just like a water feature or an aquarium would be in your wealth corner. Visualize foo dogs or dragons guarding your computer.
4. Use uplifting and meaningful Feng Shui imagery for your screen-savers to enhance your dreams and goals such as waterfalls, deities, oceans, honeymoon with your spouse, dream home and so on. And don’t forget to use passwords that attract successful and prosperous energy!
5. Hang a 40mm or 50mm clear faceted Swarovski crystal sphere on 9” increments of heavy red embroidery thread from the ceiling (use a cup hook) over your computer or networking stations and visualize problem-free and easily moving chi around your work station.
6. Tap into “Heaven Luck” and note when the planet Mercury goes into retrograde each year as it’s usually a very difficult time for clear and direct communications. Then you can take extra care to do extra emails and calls so things go smoothly for you.
