How do I go about arranging my desk at work ?

[andyb]

Hi there,
I have two desks in different locations, how do I go about arranging my desks to give me good productivity and harmony at work.
I also want to introduce a plant to my desk to add some green.
I would appreciate any advice on this.
Regards,

Dear Andy,
I see that you are new to the forum.
A warm welcome to you!
Under the most basic of Feng Shui concepts, your desk can be arranged based on 3 FS concepts:
A. Shapes and Form School:
1. Always place one side of the table flushed against e.g. a pillar or wall `for support'.
2. Where best, the back of the desk should not be a walkway. Ideally, you should have a wall behind the table. For a `solid' support.
3. Do not sit under a column.
4. Avoid poison arrow e.g. sharp edges pointed towards you.
5. The table should not be seen openly from a door or directly facing a door.
6. It should not be next to a toilet or facing one.
The above are some of the general considerations.
B. East/West Group Persons or Eight House Theory.
Only after having satisifed the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui then you can consider sitting facing one of your good directions.
Do note that Shapes and Form School takes precedence over Para B. Do not because facing a certain direction is good, you shift your table to an `island' and thus compromise the siting position such as having your back say...face the door to the room.
C. Yin and Yang Concept
Yes, you can place a small plant on your desk to make it more Yang (as a plant is growing).
Here, since it is an `office' environment, it is good to make it a `more yang' environment. Yang refers to bright, energy etc... You should also check the lighting to see if it is adequate for the work table. If not, you can consider using an anglepose or table lamp.
Try to avoid having water e.g. an aquarium in the room as it creates a yin environment and may affect the mental mind to a certain degree such as the concentration.
What I mentioned above does not take into consideration more detailed analysis done e.g. using the Flying Star Theory etc...
Warmest Regards
Cecil
