Let’s get down to business. The business of enhancing your office to attract more wealth, that is. I’m starting here because that is naturally what everyone wants to know about.
We all want more money, right? Well, you can use feng shui to attract more abundance into your life. A few things that you need to keep in mind are:
Are you in the right mindset?
A large part of what makes feng shui so powerful is our intentions. If we intend to attract wealth, then we need to be diligent about also intending to “feel” wealthy and abundant. If you are feeling low-down or desperate, those feelings are the energy that you will be putting out. Lack mentality, or our fears creeping in will hinder this process. Feeling abundant is about feeling content where you currently are, and focusing on gratitude for what you currently have. And it can also be about “feeling” like you already have what you seek. Visualization helps with this.
Are you clear about what you want?
Sometimes we want more money because we think it will solve another problem. I encourage you to get deep down to the root of your “wanting” and see what you really want. Remember, money can’t buy love, confidence, or even security, though sometimes it seems like it could. Other areas of the bagua may need attention as well.
Are you in control of your life?In an earlier post, I described the importance of placing your desk in the command position. Click http://day2dayfengshui.blogspot.com/2010/04/want-to-feel-more-in-control-of-your.html for a recap. Making sure your desk is placed correctly in the room, according to feng shui principles, is a crucial thing you need to do to set yourself up for success. If you desk is placed in a vulnerable or awkward position, your efforts at enhancing wealth will be at a disadvantage.

Office Feng Shui - Making Feng Shui Work for Your Work Life
By Jessica Hoelzel
Now that you’ve had the chance to dream, let’s put some of those exciting ideas into action. What’s the best way to set action in motion? To plan! You don’t have to create a spreadsheet or anything (although if you want to no one’s going to shame your for it!) but at least put some form to your ideas, so you can have a logical sequence to how to bring your dreams for you space to life.
I recommend placing the feng shui bagua, or “map” over your space before you launch in, so that you have an idea of what you will need for what area. For example, once you locate the Wealth or Career areas, you can choose colors and decorative accents appropriately, knowing the special elements and colors that support them. It will be especially helpful so you can discover if there are any missing pieces of the bagua, and correct for them.
Click https://www.fengshuishopper.com/product_cat_list.php?cid=28 for some books that show that bagua and discuss the details of it.
Here are some things to sketch out in your plan:
1. Are you doing it yourself or hiring professionals?
Feng Shui Consultant
Interior Designer
Painter
Handyperson
Cabinet Maker
Professional Organizer
2. What is your timeline?
3. Do you need to (get to!) go shopping?
Storage containers
Decorative accents
Feng Shui cures
(Jot some notes about ideas you have, of what you think you might want and need.)
Stay tuned – more to come on specific ways to enhance different areas of the bagua.

Office Feng Shui - Making Feng Shui Work for Your Work Life
By Jessica Hoelzel
You can apply feng shui in large and small ways, to enhance your work space and work life. You can do it all at once, or a little here and there as you have the time.
Before you dive in, though, you need to clear out all that clutter! The energy of clutter is distracting and draining. And you’ll need a fresh, clean slate to work from. Click http://day2dayfengshui.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html for my earlier blog post with good tips and tricks.
Next, you’ll need to reflect upon, and get clear about what you need and want from your space:
What do you want your space to look like?
How do you want it to feel?
How do you want it to nurture you?
In which areas do you need support?
Spend some time dreaming about your ideal space. Take some notes. Cut out some pictures of magazines. Put together some ideas and just let them brew. Click http://www.hgtv.com/designers-portfolio/home-offices/index.html for some lovely inspiration.
Whether you have a corner office suite, a cube or a tiny nook in the kitchen, you can enhance it and make it work for you. Click http://www.askthebuilder.com/341_Maximize_Small_Home_Office_Space.shtml for great small office solutions.
Ultimately, your office should be a place that calls to you, a place that you feel comfortable and confident in, and a place where you can thrive. Happy Dreaming!
