Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness! I'm Dr. Paula Apro, and today, I'm excited to delve deeper into the transformative power of Feng Shui within our workspaces. Recently, I decided to apply Feng Shui principles to my own office by strategically placing objects and rearranging furniture to align with my personal auspicious directions. This resulted in surprising synchronicities and new opportunities.
Last week, I talked very generally about changes you can make in the important areas of your home to create a more positive energy flow. But I do want to mention that I am using a system created by Marie Diamond that takes into account your own personal Energy Number. This number is calculated according to your birthdate and gender. She provides this information for free via her Marie Diamond app.
Using this app, I determined my Energy Number, which also determined my personal auspicious directions. Each of us has particular directions in which we are the strongest and other directions in which we are the weakest. Our goal is to activate our strong directions for the greatest possible positive impact, while avoiding positioning ourselves or particular objects in the weak directions.
With this information (and app) in hand, I entered into my office and, using the compass included in the app, I was able to easily determine which wall was facing my best Wisdom direction, which wall was facing my best Success direction, which wall was facing my best Health direction, and which one was facing my best Relationship direction. It's important to place the proper objects, colors, shapes, patterns, etc., around the room following the advice of Feng Shui.
For starters, it recommended placing books in your field, awards, and certifications on my North-facing wall to activate Wisdom. As luck would have it, this is already where I had my degree displayed and many of my favorite books and tools stored. I was off to a great start, and I felt that this aspect of my life was pretty strong.
Next, it was on to my Success direction. Here I needed some help. The most important thing to tackle in your office is the direction you are facing when you sit at your desk. It would be best to face your Success direction, and it would be absolutely terrible to face the direction directly opposite your Success direction. If you have your back to your Success direction, you are essentially "turning your back" on new opportunities.
And speaking of that, things get even more complicated here because not only do you need to worry about your Success direction, but you also have to be concerned about the doorway to your office. You do not want your back facing the doorway for the same reason you don't want your back facing your Success direction. You want to be facing and open to new energy flowing in, new opportunities flowing in, and income flowing in.
This was the biggest change I had to make in my office. I completely rearranged the furniture to move my desk to a different wall. Now my back is no longer facing the entry way, and my computer is placed so that I'm directly facing my Success direction. This happens to be my first podcast that was recorded facing my Success direction, so let's see what happens . . . I am very relieved and hopeful about this one single change.
Dealing with these two variables can obviously be tricky depending on your doorway and your personal Success direction. It may not always be possible to set your space up ideally, but there are some other tricks to employ to improve your energy... and I went ahead and added those as well!
For instance, one suggestion was to place an object that implies or represents success in the Success direction. I placed a copy of my book in my precise Success direction, so I'm now waiting to be added to the NY Times best-seller list. 😁
Another piece of advice was to place an orchid (even a fake one) in the Success direction. I happened to find one in Home Depot without even looking for it . . . I guess you can say that it found me . . . and it perfectly fit into the corner of my office that exactly matches my Success direction.
Another little recommendation to boost success was placing fish in your Success direction. I just happen to have lots of silly little rock fish that I've made over the years, so I placed them in the corner too. Why not? Oh, and one other quick little tip, you shouldn't place your garbage can in either your success or wisdom directions.
Ok, two directions down and two more to go. The Health direction in my office was another super easy one for me, given that my entire office is related to health and wellness. Every book on the shelves is health-related, most of them textbooks. Oh, here's a super interesting thing I learned . . .
My personal Health direction is East, and the book I was reading specifically explained that I would have a preference for Eastern Medicine. That really grabbed my attention because it was so true. My entire practice is built upon Eastern healing arts. But not only that ...
Remember how I just explained the importance of your desk placement in your office? If you are facing the direction that opposes your success direction, it's going to make you very weak and produce the exact opposite result - instead of success, you will manifest failure.
Well, now let's think about this in terms of health. My Health direction is East, as in Eastern Medicine (which makes me strong and brings me better health), and my opposing direction is West, AKA Western medicine (which makes me weak and sick, figuratively and sometimes literally). I just found that very amusing.
Change your Energy - Change your Life!
There wasn't much I needed to do to activate my Health direction in my office. I already had lots of health-related books, many crystals, and various healing tools on display, but I did place one jade crystal tree in the very corner of the room, closest to due East.
And last but not least, I needed to address the Relationship direction of my office. Here is where you would want to focus on business relationships. If this were the bedroom, you would focus on romantic relationships. If it were your living roo,m you would focus on your family and friends.
I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to address this. I don't have a boss or coworkers that I needed to strengthen any relationships with. I'm sort of a lone wolf. I could have placed photos of some of my best clients in this direction, but that just seemed strange. I was a bit stumped.
But here is where the story gets a little crazy. After all this rearranging, decluttering, and cleaning up, I was trying to make sure everything was organized and had a place (other than being piled on the floor.) One such thing that was kicking around my office floor was an empty box that my new favorite healing gadget came in. I promise that I will share what that gadget is soon.
Anyway, I needed to get this box off the floor, and I decided to place it neatly into a binder holder. I'll share a photo in the show notes. It wasn't until after something crazy happened that I realized that I had placed this box from this particular company on the South wall of my office, which in my case is my Relationship direction. Here's what happened.
Literally within a couple of days of me placing that empty box from this particular company on my Relationship wall, I got a Facebook request from the founder of that company! Now, yes, I had recently connected with him via LinkedIn and even had a conversation with him, but I was sure surprised (and delighted) to get a Facebook friend request. Facebook seems much more like a friendly "relationship" than an impersonal business LinkedIn connection.
But the story gets even better. After that Facebook connection, we chatted and he put me in touch with the company's CEO. I already had one meeting to discuss the potential of my being involved with the company, and a second meeting is scheduled. I have no idea where this may lead, but holy cow, I'm still marveling at the seeming coincidence. Was it just a coincidence that I placed this company's logo in the Relationship direction of my office just days before this connection was made? Are there really any coincidences?
Two weeks ago, I got a $2000 credit after cleaning out our breezeway and mudroom, and last week, I'm talking to the CEO of a company that I'm very interested in working with. Yes, maybe both of these things are just crazy coincidences, but I'm going to choose to believe that I made positive changes to how the energy is flowing inside my house.
I still have more work to do. The next room I need to tackle is the master bedroom, and that one will be a doozy. Truth be told, I'm not sure how to fix the big problems I have going on in there. Stay tuned for more details on that.
Now it's time for you to take a look at your office. Is there some decluttering that you can do? Is your desk situated so that your back is facing new opportunities and income flow? How about finding out what your personal directions are and making some small changes that can bring you big results? Why not give it a try?
Unfortunately, I can't help you rearrange your house to improve the energy flow, but I can help you rearrange the energy in your body.
