How do I go about arranging my desk at work ?

Hi there,
I have two desks in different locations, how do I go about arranging my desks to give me good productivity and harmony at work.
I also want to introduce a plant to my desk to add some green.
I would appreciate any advice on this.
Regards,

Dear Andy,

I see that you’re new to the forum, and I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you!

Based on some of the most basic Feng Shui ideas, you can arrange your desk using three main Feng Shui concepts:

A. Shapes and Form School:
1. Try to place one side of your desk against a pillar or wall to give you a sense of support.
2. It’s best if there isn’t a walkway directly behind your desk. Ideally, you should have a solid wall behind you for stronger support.
3. Avoid sitting directly under a column or beam.
4. Try to avoid “poison arrows,” such as sharp corners or edges pointing directly at you.
5. Your desk should not be easily visible from the doorway or directly facing the door.
6. It’s also better if your desk is not next to a toilet or directly facing one.

These are some of the general things to keep in mind.

B. East/West Group Persons or Eight House Theory:
Once you’ve taken care of the Shapes and Form School guidelines, then you can consider facing one of your favorable directions while seated.

Do remember that the Shapes and Form School is more important than point B. Don’t rearrange your desk to face a good direction if it means creating an “island” position or putting yourself in a poor sitting spot, such as having your back facing the room’s door.

C. Yin and Yang Concept:
You can place a small plant on your desk to make the space a bit more Yang, since a growing plant represents life and activity.

Because this is an office environment, it’s generally better to make it more Yang—brighter and more energetic. Check that your desk lighting is bright enough for your work. If it isn’t, you might want to use an anglepoise or table lamp.

Try not to have water features, such as an aquarium, in the room, as they create a more Yin environment and may affect your mind slightly, including your ability to concentrate.

What I’ve shared above doesn’t include more detailed Feng Shui analysis, such as using the Flying Star Theory, and so on.

Warmest regards,
Cecil
