Some feng shui advice follows here …

# Sit where you can see the door;

# Create balance;

# Get rid of clutter from desktops, shelves and so on – it means postponed decisions;

# Choose comfort - ergonomically comfortable computer chair, keyboard that doesn't invite carpal tunnel syndrome and an optical mouse that doesn't need a pad;

# Sitting northwest facing southeast is beneficial for leadership, while the opposite position, sitting southeast and facing northwest, promotes good communication.

# The feng shui direction for fame, for reputation - is the south.

# If you can't control your seat's positioning within a room, try to choose a seat as far into the room as possible and positioned where you can see the door.

# If you're in an interview with a person seated behind a desk, try to position your chair at an angle so you can see the door, too.

The reason some people achieve results from feng shui is that it forces them to think about their goals and to form the intention to achieve them.

As a Christian, where does it fit in? There’s much to be said for it – the two notions don’t clash at all. Christianity is about bringing harmony and balance into life and a reading of the Gospels simply confirms that. Feng Shui is also about bringing about well being by balancing one’s life.

Where it goes wrong is to misinterpret the yin-yang symbol as a balance between Good and Evil. There simply is no balance. It’s like trying to maintain balance between healthy teeth and tooth decay or between a forest and a fire. Once is bent on destroying the other.

Feng shui is about balance in a room, in the activities of a person’s life. It refers to balancing work and family, sleep and wakefulness, balancing and blending colours – all either neutral or good.

Evil may be the opposite of Good but it certainly can’t be balanced because it is addictive destruction which aims to consume all. The notion that you, yourself, have the power to control these forces to maintain a certain balance presupposes that you understand these cosmic forces and that you have the power to counter the Evil. Even Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi couldn’t do that and it has always been the prime delusion of man.
