In Feng Shui, your desk is the financial foundation of your business, so it’s a very important purchase for the financial success of your business. Don’t cut corners!
- Purchase a brand new one so you don’t inherit negative predecessor chi
- Buy the best you can afford
- Make sure it’s sturdy (solid wood or metal is best), not wobbly and not made of glass (which can lead to distracted chi and an unstable financial foundation for your business)
- For wood desks, a lighter shade is better
- The size of desk needs to be big enough to expand your horizons and support your big ideas
- It’s best to have a full modesty panels in the front and on the sides of the desk to help contain your energy—the longer the better
- Don’t downsize your desk, always upgrade if possible (unless, of course, it’s too big for the space you’re moving to)
- If your desk is too small, it will limit your ideas and contribute to a loss of focus, ideas and details
- If you have small desk and you face the wall, it can lead to being closed minded, a lack of creativity or your base of knowledge not large enough
- A round shape is perfect for creative projects and meetings
- A square or rectangular shape is best for accomplishing tasks, working on details and doing financial work
- You must have a main desk to return to each day if you work from a mobile office (such as a laptop at Starbucks)
- Have spaciousness beneath your desk for foot space
- Personally, I don’t like L-shaped desks as I feel they have a cutting chi coming in from the sides
Can you feel how fragile this dek is? Great chair, however (see more below on those)!
This desk is a fabulous Feng Shui desk for making money and accomplishing tasks--wood, solid, full panels and beautiful!
A beautiful wood but NOT good to sit with back exposed (more on this in the Commanding Position post coming soon!) and facing shelves (cutting chi into your head as well as a feeling of it all coming crashing down on you).
This desk is a great contemporary find with some chi containment and again, a feeling of solidity and expansion.
In Feng Shui, your desk chair gives you support and security—so sit like a Queen or CEO in your chair!
- It should be newly purchased so you don’t inherit negative predecessor chi
- Make sure it’s solid-backed (no gap between back and bottom of chair)
- Have arms
- Make sure it goes up at least to your shoulders but you may prefer to have your head supported, as well
Poor Feng Shui desk chair--back too low and chi leaking out back.
Stronger back for support.
This one, like a throne! Full support, great protection!
Dear business owners--please give yourself the desk and chair you need to support your successful and prosperous office! My clients LOVE it when they make the changes--let me know how you get on!
