The Ten Major Feng Shui Hazards in the Office and Their Solutions
1、The Method to Eliminate the Door Impact Hazard
It refers to a situation where a door directly faces the workstation from the front, side, or back. The feng shui consequences mainly include being easily slandered by others, falling into traps set by others, leading to minor conflicts and serious legal issues, and large loopholes in management or finances.
The general method to eliminate this hazard is to place a Chinese character "一" (meaning "one") in an appropriate position on the workstation. This forms a "闩" (a latch) for the door, and for the person working at the desk, it represents the first priority in their career.
2、The Method to Eliminate the Lack of Support Hazard
This hazard mainly has two forms: one is when the back of the workstation directly faces a window; the other is when the back of the workstation faces a corridor or activity area. If there is a solid wall behind, but there are other workstations between the workstation and the wall, it is considered as having support. The feng shui consequences are that it is difficult to find a benefactor, easy to encounter villains, hard work, and high pressure.
The general solution is to adjust the direction of the desk or use a high-backed chair.
3、The Method to Eliminate the Light Hazard
It refers to a situation where the light source is not in front of or in the left front of the workstation, but rather behind the workstation, meaning that when a person sits at the desk, the display shows their shadow.
4、The Method to Eliminate the Wall-Facing Hazard
It means that the workstation is facing a wall. Generally speaking, if the distance from the desk to the front solid wall is greater than the distance to the back solid wall, it is considered a wall-facing hazard, and the more significant the difference, the stronger the negative energy. The feng shui consequences are that the development of the career is hindered, and mistakes may occur due to short-sightedness.
The general solution is to make an appropriate adjustment to the direction or position of the desk.
5、The Method to Eliminate the Heart-Piercing Hazard
If the main entrance faces a corridor or passage, it resembles a sharp sword piercing the heart, which is called the "Heart-Piercing Sword." If the depth of the office is less than the length of the corridor, the problem is the most severe.
The solution is to install a screen inside to change the direction of the entrance and reduce the impact.
6、The Method to Eliminate the Wall Knife Hazard
It refers to a situation where the workstation is directly facing the corner of a wall or column. The feng shui consequences are that it is easy to encounter villains, verbal disputes, and even accidents, and when good things are about to happen, they are often interfered with by others.
The general method to eliminate this hazard is to round off the corners of the wall or column, or to place flowers or decorations between the desk and the corners to block them.
7、The Method to Eliminate the Partition Angle Hazard
Standing at the office entrance, the front half is a wall, and the other half is open space, like a straight knife cutting through, which is known as the "Partition Angle Hazard." The office entrance feels as if it is being split in two, causing an imbalance in the energy flow, which is extremely bad for health and wealth.
8、The Method to Eliminate the Overhead Pressure Hazard
It refers to a situation where the workstation is directly under a horizontal beam or pipe. The feng shui consequences are fatigue, lack of energy, frequent troubles, confusion, heavy mental burdens, heavy workload, strict bosses, or being given trouble.
The general method to eliminate this hazard is to slightly move the desk away from the direct line of the beam or pipe, or to install a ceiling to cover the beam or pipe.
9、The Method to Eliminate the Air Conditioner Hazard
It refers to a situation where the workstation is directly in the path of an air conditioner's airflow, including the central air conditioning vent blowing down directly, or the side vent of a cabinet-type air conditioner blowing directly. The feng shui consequences are encountering villains, being mocked by others, fluctuating career success, obstacles, indecisiveness, low efficiency, and adverse effects on health.
The general solution is to adjust the air vent to blow sideways, avoiding direct exposure to the workstation.
10、The Method to Eliminate the Sharp Corner Hazard
It mainly has two forms: one is when the corner of a desk directly faces another workstation, and the other is when the corner of equipment or facilities in the office area, such as file cabinets, directly faces the workstation. The feng shui consequences are serious encounters with villains, uncooperative colleagues, internal competition, poor cooperation, internal friction, and serious impacts on work efficiency and performance.
The general solution is to place a crystal ball at the location directly facing the sharp corner. Since the sharp corner belongs to metal in the five elements, water can be used to neutralize it, so a crystal ball is used for this purpose.
It refers to a situation where a door directly faces the workstation from the front, side, or back.
