Sitting Position in Office

[Wendy Pang]

Knowing to get support from the company, you should sit with wall behind your back. I am currently sitting back facing windows, which I have read in most of the feng shui book is not recommendable. But I could not shift my table, as my office is very small. The entrance to my office is at the right top corner. I am facing a glass wall in front of me. Please advise what should I do in order to get more business and get support from everyone.

Dear Wendy,
1. In my opinion, for an office environment - it is common to find certain offices or sitting positions with a glass wall behind it.
2. Where possible, in such situations, have a back personal "side-table" along the glass panel. This is symbolic of a mountain effect. And makes the ratio of nearly 33.3 percent or more - with shelves and the upper half glass panels. It would thus qualify as a mountain support in such a situation.
3. Usually, many offices will try to maximise document space with such side or back shelving.
4. If the above is not possible, then curtain blinds either horizontal type or vertical type is still acceptable as a symbolic screen.
5. In many instances, due to fire safety regulations, if specific windows are e.g. marked with a RED triangle symbol, this means that that panel of glass is meant for rescue attempts in the event of e.g. a fire. And it is against regulation to block these.
6. In my opinion, the greatest threat from a window are `poison arrows' or angled building pointing into the office window area.
Alternatively, if one's office windows use poor tinting (sun-x) then any reflection from neighbouring buildings are considered as Sha Qi. As reflections or mirror like external finishing of other buildings is considered Sha Qi.
Here, use the concept: if it cannot be seen; it no longer becomes a threat. Thus using blinds would be effective.
Overall, a building takes its Feng Shui luck on a macro level i.e. the entire site and building. And relatively less on individual units.
Unless these individual units have bad Feng Shui themselves. For example, good building designs have toilets are are out of the building or away from entrance etc...
For example: Good building design is like the DBS Tower 1 building, Singapore. Where the toilets are located at a sector together with the pantry. And it is never near any entrance or office area. Other good designs include some shopping centre e.g. Junction 8, Bishan Sinagpore. And even Sim Lim Square.
Bad examples of office complex is the Fortune Centre building. Where the toilets does not the toilet area sharing at least one external wall. Here, some of the units are facing (even if they are hidden) from view, the toilet area. Which brings bad Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
