In Feng Shui, your relationship to your home and the objects in your home is vital in creating a nurturing and supportive environment. And your relationship with your environment is determined, in a large part, by how and where you place the items you have. Positioning relates to how much time you spend in a given space, and how you feel about the space you are in. The three most important areas in your home with relation to positioning are:
  • position of the front door
  • placement of your bed,
  • placement of your desk
When evaluating the front door, pay special attention to the condition the door is in. Can you open the door fully? Is the entrance area well maintained? Clean? Well lit? Is the door easy to open? The front door is the key; the opening to all life has to offer. Its appearance and functionality are paramount in importance. How are your furnishings positioned? Arrange your bed or desk with a wall behind you so you face into the room or office. Your position should provide a full view of the room and the door into the room. When your view is expansive, so are your opportunities! To determine placement of a bed or desk, picture yourself standing in the doorway, facing into the room. You will be standing in the middle of the entry wall or off to the left or right of center. In an office, position your desk so you are facing into the room supported by a solid wall behind you. It’s best if you are not in alignment with the door itself, but slightly off to one side or the other. Placement of the bed holds the key to successful rest, rejuvenation, and restoration as well as symbolic representation of a solid foundation in life. The optimal placement for the master bedroom is in either the Abundance or Relationship areas of the home as these corners are the ‘power’ corners of the home.

Calculating Your Feng Shui Ming Gua

The direction in which a person sleeps or does other prolonged activities is very important. Each person has his or her own energy, which in Feng-Shui is called a number of “Gua”, also known as your “Ming Gua”. It is easily calculated. Based on that number, people are further separated into two types: “eastern” and “western” (but this has nothing to do with hemispheres of the planet). Each person also has four favorable and four adverse directions. You can do the simplest calculations by yourself.

6 Steps to a Clutter-free Computer and a More Productive You

According to the National Association of Professional Organizations, research shows a direct correlation between productivity and clutter. When clutter and chaos are on the rise, profits and productivity decline. While the mantra of the day may be "go paperless" that doesn't mean your computer should take over your life, become electronic clutter and take control of your time while you become less efficient, effective and productive. A clutter-free desktop reduces stress and frustration while increasing concentration and creative thinking.
