Don't let a Cubicle Get You Down
Dear Nancilee.
I am stumped as to how to layout my
office cubicle? Our office building faces south, and
when enter my space the desk (horseshoe) faces south,
but the feel of it seems to face west.
I am an executive assistant to a
president of a small entertainment company, so my
relationships with both the staff and other high level
executives are important. In addition, I work long hours
so it’s important that my cubicle space remains
centered so that I don't burn out.

Dear TS
The question of direction of a desk or
a door seems to confound readers of most feng shui
books. What matters in pyramid feng shui is the
direction you enter a space and face when seated in that
space.
The direction you face is important in
so far as what you do and when you do. For example, I
get my best work done in the morning and I face East.
The rising sun sustains my morning optimism and I find
that when both the sun and my natural upbeat morning
temperament has passed, I should engage in tasks
requiring less concentration. Therefore in my case I do
my intense writing in the morning and perform less
taxing tasks later in the day.
As an executive assistant in a busy
office, it is important that you have a sustaining
nurturing position both for yourself and for those you
are in contact with. Be sure that a chair used by others
when visiting your desk area makes you turn to the
right. A person feels more compassionate toward others
when turning to the right and the interchange will be
less stressful to you.
Facing west would cause strain during
those hours that we humans are naturally in a downward
swing. Have something in motion like a clock’s hands,
a fan on a plant’s leaves or a mobile under an air
duct to help sustain your energy level throughout the
day. Keep lemon essential oil in your desk and you might
try our new essential oil Memory Boost and use it after
lunch or after the sun starts its descent. Should your
back face an entryway, hang a convex mirror to reflect
the opening.
These suggestions are bound to
increase your productivity and contentment while
working.
Best future,
