Do you know what should not be behind an office seat? If there are things that should not be behind an office seat, it will affect your feng shui and luck. So let's take a look at what should not be behind an office seat.
Why Should You Avoid Sitting with Your Back to the Door
If the desk is placed close to the door, and a person sits with their back to the door, this is the first basic point to avoid when placing the desk. The door is the entrance through which people pass, the mouth of the office, and the place where energy (both positive and negative) enters. If a person sits with their back to the door, they have no support behind them, and their back is exposed to the chaotic energy from people coming and going. Over time, people sitting in this position may constantly feel a subconscious sense of tension, as if someone is watching them, leading to confusion, decision-making errors, and an inability to focus on tasks, always feeling restless. This can even result in kidney problems, back pain, encountering troublemakers or getting into disputes at work.
This situation in feng shui is called "Cold Wind Blowing the Back." The solution is to adjust the desk's position to a spot where you are not sitting with your back to the door. However, for junior staff, it might be difficult to change the desk position since the placement often depends on work requirements. In such cases, you can choose a chair with a high backrest, which provides support and blocks the chaotic energy from affecting you.
Why Shouldn't You Sit by the Window Near a Walkway
The window is an entry point for air, bringing in both positive and negative energies. However, a window facing a walkway will also bring in the chaotic energy from people passing by, along with sounds like footsteps, noise, and other disturbances. Placing a desk under such a window is equivalent to putting your desk under some form of negative energy. If you need to discuss company secrets, you naturally worry about others looking over your shoulder. Working at a desk near the window makes it hard to concentrate.
The solution is to place the desk as far away from the window as possible, ideally so that people walking by cannot see the documents on the desk. At the same time, use curtains regularly to cover the window, avoiding the disturbance caused by moving people outside the window.
Why Shouldn't There Be a Window Behind the Seat
Many high-end offices have bright floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of the surrounding buildings and a sense of superiority. Some people like to place their desks parallel to the window, setting their seats between the desk and the floor-to-ceiling window, using the window as a "mountain" behind them. This arrangement is also incorrect. Having a window behind you is just as bad as having a door behind you. A window is an entry point for light, and the theory is similar to the avoidance of having a door behind you.
Solution: First, adjust the desk position; second, choose a chair with a high backrest.
