Feng Shui Cures Fear Generated by Promotion

Dear Nancilee,

Since watching your feng shui videos I have noticed definite improvements in my career as evidenced by my recent promotion. Even though things are going great at work, I feel extremely unsure about my job and financial security. Further, I experience negative chi from several of my new employees.

My new office has two doors facing each other, one used as my private entrance; the other used by my employees. The desk faces both doors and there is a window between these two doors and another window to my right that faces east. In that desk position my chair backs another door that opens to a small storage room. Can you suggest a feng shui cure to dispel my fears?

Thank you,
Autumn


******************************************************

Dear Autumn,

Congratulations on your promotion!

It is understandable why you would want to get off to a great start and what better time to begin than the New Year.

Being a feng shui expert is sometimes like being a detective. From the description of your desk position, I can see why you have this pervasive feeling of unease. Sounds like your fears can be quieted by changing the position of your desk.

The two doors seen from your desk that are divided by a window are in feng shui terms distracting and anxiety provoking. The human eye when observing an edge (and a wall is an edge) cannot help but seek four things. The eye seeks the furthest distance, the brightest light, movement and the diagonal line.

The window most likely frames a scene with two ingredients that the eye seeks --- light and movement. The two doors on either side of the window fights equally for your attention because doors are penetrations and since one is an employees entrance it understandable siphons off some of your attention. Without a conscious effort you are most likely checking occasionally to see if someone is entering. On top of that, the door behind you invites additional tension even though people don’t enter through it. All doors imply a penetration and produce distraction. This physical set up combined with the concern a new job generates makes your fears understandable.

Here’s what to do.

Decide which window faces the most uplifting and satisfying view and cover the other one with a solid window covering. If they are the same cover the left one. The window toward your right is fine without a covering. Hang a bell from a ribbon and hang on the employee’s door handle to allow you to hear when someone begins to enter without having to check visually. Mount a hook on the storage door to reinforce safety subliminally. With these changes you don’t have to move your desk!

Finally, to diffuse what you call negative chi place a cut crystal vase of light rose or salmon flowers on your desk to your left and those who enters right. If fresh flowers are too much hassle, select a pastel salmon colored bowl and fill with marbles. For the first three months, dispense cedar essential oil in your office. Cedar is a scent that dispels fear and often a new boss is feared not disliked.

Now be all you can be and thrive!

Best future,
Nancilee Wydra
