Feng shui in action
One company that aids businesses in applying feng shui to corporate spaces is Sacred Currents, a New York City design firm. Founder Judith Wendell says the basic principles behind feng shui are not complex. It’s just a matter of arranging a room to promote harmony, she explains, a process that requires the use of a compass and a Chinese template tool called the bagua. “With the bagua, any room can be set up to better accommodate feng shui,” Wendell say.
About 40 percent of Sacred Current’s business is corporate and, of that, a handful of clients have asked the firm to help set up corporate presentation spaces. While others area’s southeast corner, was adorned with plants, flowers, wood and other elements believed to facilitate energy flow associated with wealth. Pictures of clients and customer-service workers were placed in the southwest part of the room, the relations area.
Recently, Wendell helped the staff at an international financial company prepare a conference room for a corporate meeting and presentation. Using a compass, the bagua and knowledge gained in a three-year training program, she rearranged the setting to better incorporate feng shui principles.
In an area of the room related to reputation and recognition, she hung a large corporate logo. The wealth area of the room, which according to the bagua was in the meeting area’s southeast corner, was adorned with plants, flowers, wood and other elements believed to facilitate energy flow associated with wealth. Pictures of clients and customer-service workers were placed in the southwest part of the room, the relationship area.
According to Wendell, the event was well-received. “The presentation flowed for the speaker, and afterward he commented that he felt the room supported him,” she says.
