Healing Space with Vastu and Office Politics

A proper Vastu based office helps you feel inspired, productive, and powerful. And when done well, it will enhance your creativity, discipline and success. An office environment can nourish and support the human spirit as much as it can deny and suppress it. If our offices are humane, loving, and sacred, then what is produced in those offices will have a sense of humanity and integrity. The act of turning the places where we work into places that we love, can transform our own lives, and will in turn positively affect the lives of everyone around us.

Follow these 6 essential guidelines to get rid of office politics:

1. Clear Clutter and Organize.

One of the most fundamental steps in creating an office is to get rid of clutter. If you have read about clutter control then you know that clutter has a profound impact on your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. When you clear clutter you bring in vital energy that will help you with mental clarity, focus, and inspiration.

A clutter-free and organized office allows room for new, refreshing energy and ideas. Maintaining an organized office and desk will help you in innumerable ways. It will:

• Increase effectiveness, efficiency and productivity
• Enhance discipline, creativity and success
• Attract abundance
• Improve mental clarity and focus
• Reduce stress and help you to feel more relaxed and peaceful
• Give space for new projects and creative endeavors to flourish
• Keep everything that you use daily within arm’s reach.

Here are a few other things to keep in mind: try to leave your desk clutter-free and organized at the end of the day; don’t overcrowd your bookshelves, it will leave you feeling overwhelmed and overextended; and if your space is cramped, then open it up with mirrors.

 2. Make sure your desk is in the proper place.

 In office you want to make sure that you are sitting in the power position. That means that you can see the door when seated at your desk. Ideally, you should be able to see as much of the room as possible.

Sitting in the power position is a key element in an office. The person seated farthest from the entrance will have the most power. If you sit too close to the door, you will be distracted by daily/petty details. If you sit with your back to the door, you will suffer inauspiciously to office politics, backstabbing, etc.

If you have to share your office space with another, you should try to avoid sitting back to back. It is also best to avoid sitting face to face. Both positions tend to create conflict. If you cannot avoid sitting face to face, either stagger the desks or create a small barrier with a plant, photo or other object.

3. Use appropriate artwork and imagery.

When you surround yourself with images and objects that you love and that inspire you. You create a living affirmation for your goals.

In an office if you want to surround yourself with images and objects that keep you inspired, creative and productive. Add flowers, art and beautiful window treatments. Hang pictures, mottos and images that symbolize what you want to accomplish. Choose furniture and accessories that speak to you of prosperity, abundance and success.

Infuse your office with your personality—it will foster and support personal growth and success.

Every object in your office has an influence on you — According to Vastu it is luminosity. Make sure your office is having a positive and uplifting effect on you!

4. Balance and Harmonize the Space.

Balance and harmony are important attributes of an office. There are two ways to balance and harmonize your environment with ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ energies

‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ represent feminine and masculine energies. Nourishing energy strikes a balance between the two extreme forces of ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’. Let's say for example you worked in an overly ‘Yang’ environment with high ceilings, light colors, angular furniture and lots of natural light. You would need to balance this overly ‘Yang’ environment with some ‘Yin’ energy. You might add curved or flowing shapes, darker colors, soft furniture and some window coverings.

Vastu represents the natural elements of Air, Earth, Space, Fire and Water. It is important that all five elements are represented in your environment. Even more important is that the elements are in balance.

When the elements are in balance then your life is more likely to be in balance and you will have greater success in manifesting what you desire.

 As an example, let us say that you work in a very bright office (the space element) with an abundance of computers, faxes, etc. (the fire element). In this case, you would want to focus on bringing in the other elements. You could bring in some plants for the earth element and an aquarium for the water element.

5. Choose suitable office colors.

Color has a remarkable impact on your psychological and physical well-being. When choosing office colors consider the following Vastu.

Soft yellow, sandstone, pale gold, pale orange, pale green, and blue-green are always appropriate office colors. Adding white will increase clarity and mental focus. Browns and earth tones will ground and stabilize the office.

OFFICE Keep stress and irritability to a minimum by choosing furniture with rounded corners or positioning sharp corners out of traffic flow. Avoid harsh lighting or lots of glare since it can cause irritability and fatigue. You can also add music, running water or mist with essential oils to keep stress levels to a minimum.

6. Incorporate Stress Relievers.

It does not matter which method you use, it only matters that your space is balanced and harmonious. Choose the system that feels right for you.

Vastu Tip of the Week- A Word of Advice

Did you know that as Vastu the person seated farthest from the entrance will have the most power?

In an open plan with many desks, use plants to soften sharp edges and corners. Sharp edges create poison arrows, which contribute to conditions such as irritability, discomfort, and even disease to name a few! Also, the aisles should be large enough so that the energy moves slower. Make sure to use subtle colors in an open office plan. Bright, vivid colors are too active in a large bustling room.
