Feng Shui For Fame And Reputation

Ever wonder what people are talking about when they mention a feng shui map, a bagua chart or a bagua map? They’re all talking about the same thing, really. A bagua chart is simply a map you use to determine where the key areas of your home are from a feng shui perspective. These areas are: the Wealth & Prosperity; Fame & Reputation; Relationships (Love); Family; Health; Children & Creativity; Self-Cultivation & Knowledge; Career; and Helpful People & Travel.

You’ll note that there are nine areas of the map. This is often represented as an octagon with health in the middle, but for simplicty’s sake, imagine it as a square, divided into 9 equal squares with health in the middle. Read More…

Feng Shui Tips For Career Growth

One of the most important factors to consider is the spatial position of your desk. Some positions are best avoided, or need to be improved if there’s no way to move the desk.

According to feng shui for career, sitting with your back to the entrance door is best avoided, as it may allow your colleagues to work around you for promotion. If there is no other option, put a mirror on your table to see those behind you.

Sitting with your back to the window is also a disadvantage, as it may make you feel “unsafe”. For gaining a sense of safety, consider placing a large object at the window, such as a plant or bookshelves.

It’s best not to have your desk crammed into a corner or squeezed between cabinets. Try to move it so that you can access your desk from the front and back. In Feng Shui, an open space symbolizes prospects.

Try not to sit facing a colleague either, as it may cause your energy to start dissipating. Read More…

When we moved her bed to the location that was in optimum alignment with what she intended, from the Ancestors to the Future Quadrant of her bedroom, it happened to be in front of a window. It was now in an alcove, beautifully framed by the window treatments, and truly honored her relationship desires. Both partners felt the change and are now on their way to a deeper commitment. So, don’t let windows get in your way of your true intentions, just make sure to draw the curtains at night. Read More…
