Now, what about when you do commence work again? To bring even more positive energy into your work life, give your workplace a little spruce-up on your first day back. Here are a few ways that can help create good feng shui in your office:
2. Arrange the items on your desk in a harmonious way
Have you heard your parents or relatives talk about green dragons and white tigers? They’re probably talking about one of the most ancient principles of feng shui, known in Mandarin as “青龙白虎.” Two of the four symbolic celestial animals in feng shui, the Green Dragon and White Tiger form a guide for how you should organise any space to bring harmony to the energy around you. The Green Dragon is believed to be situated on your left, while the White Tiger is on your right. In feng shui, the Green Dragon should be stronger or more dominant than the White Tiger to bring about a fortuitous balance. So if you have lots of papers, pens, books and more on your desk, keep more of them on your left side and stack them up higher there than your items on your right.
