Numerous Asians believe Feng Shui is necessary in order to conduct proper business and business management.

Many people have developed themselves into entrepreneurs and having their office established in their home. This is a cost effective way to start out since there is less overhead.On the other hand, some people that work from home discover themselves somewhat perplexed since it can be tricky for them to split their home business from their personal life and they do not have a lot of interaction with other people. However, having a home based business outweighs the problems and frustrations that people face working at a 9 to 5 job.
If you want to attract wealth and abundance for your home based business using Feng Shui, here are some ways to incorporate it:
You should always sit with a solid wall behind your back. Avoid sitting with a window behind you.
You should not face wall while you are at your desk.
In order for Chi or energy to flow with harmony, put the tables and chairs in a strategic format.
Have air-purifying plants in your home office. This will help bring you with a fresh quality of air and it will also increase the amount of oxygen generated in that area.
Other than air-purifying plants, refrain from having any plants that have sharp edges, such as cactus.
The entry door to your home office should be free of obstacle. If there is obstruction, such as a table behind the door, the Chi (energy) will not work correctly.
In order to improve the presence of Chi, a a great idea is to install a hanging crystal in your home office.
Your home office should be a good distance from your bedroom.
Your home office should be about productivity. The colors of your home office should reflect that.
The copy machine should not be near the main entrance. The heat from the copy machine can cause to Chi not to flow correctly.
If there is an empty vase near the main entry door, the Chi will find its way into the empty vase. This will be a detriment to the environment.
If you have clients that come to see you, try placing a fish tank. This will help you get better results and probably more clients, which in turn, means more money.
In order to get Chi working properly, install a small indoor fountain in your corner. This method will also help you health wise.
Keep your desks and surrounding areas clutter free. To help with this, the Chinese do not use paper trays. The concept is starting to make its way in the United States.
Pay attention to the kind of light that you are using in your home office. You should use both natural and artificial lighting. You will not be able to function properly if you do not have enough natural light. You should also think about getting other type of lights, such as full-spectrum lights. These lights are similar to the natural light spectrum and they have been branded as healthier to use.
There are different areas of your home office that need to be nurtured with Feng Shui. In the North area, the Water Element is used as well as Metal. In your home office, it's fine to have images with black or white frames. The South area uses Fire for energy. You should refrain from having blue mirrors, or images of water that represent this color. The Southeast area is for images that represent prosperity and abundance. The Wood Element is used here. With this, you should refrain from Fire and Metal images.
Using these Feng Shui principles will help your business to thrive and grow in prosperity and abundance.
