Some 3,000 years ago in China, a system was developed to balance or harmonize the energies of any given space. Feng shui, which combines the Chinese words for wind and water two elements that are believed to ensure good health.

Feng shuis traditional use is to orient buildings, homes or even spiritually significant constructions like tombs to maximize auspiciousness while minimizing bad luck. A feng shui expert often determines ideal positions by referring to local topographic features of a location.

Feng shui expert Karen Rauch Carter insists: If your desk is not optimally serving you, it could be robbing you of vital energy. 3M suggests mentally dividing the top of your desk into nine equal squares for every part of your life. This approach will allow energy to be directed into each aspect. Imagine a tic-tac-toe board for each area and table all the good vibes you can:

Career move. Reserve the center front square or the space right in front of you. The ruling element here is water and the ruling color is black. If you have a glass top, slip a picture of a river or a bubbling brook under it to signify that you are in the flow of life. You do not need to have the photo always in sight. If your desk does not have a glass top, tape the photo underneath your desk.

Add-on wisdom. Place books or items that remind you of knowledge or intelligent people on the bottom, left-hand square. Have something blue on this spot. Itll help you concentrate and make sound decisions. It can be any item, such as a blue Post-it note pad or paperweight.
