The ancient science of orienting buildings and positioning them upon the workings of mysterious earth forces is what Feng shui is all about. The earth is criss crossed with energy lines that are affected by virtually all geographical and topographical phenomena. This means that we are affected by our environment and we, in turn, modify our environment by what we do within it.
In Feng shui, there are two primary natural forms that must be respected and utilised - water and mountains. In the analogy of the Tao, water carries the yang active principle and mountains carry the passive or yin principle.
When adapting Feng shui for office designing, care should be taken to ensure that the Entrance and foyer is well maintained. Avoid waste bins at entrance and keep it clutter free. Displaying positive images encourage the staff as they arrive and leave each day. Fresh paint work and clean flooring create an air of efficiency and, together with positive images on the walls, suggest to employees that they are valued.
Cramped working areas lead to cramped minds. Mirrors in such areas create an illusion of space. Staff rooms are where employees meet to discuss work and air grievances and the Feng shui of these rooms is important if staff is to be positive.
Finally, Board rooms are places where important decisions and strategies are planned. So the Feng shui of this room is to be well balanced to attain perfect harmony. Boardroom tables are best if they are oval, round tables are useful in brainstorming sessions of the management team.
