Feng Shui Career / Business / Life Path

By Jessie Kim

If you are looking to improve your career, general life path, or just feel stuck and are willing to try Feng Shui, then you need to read on.

I am a 3rd generation Feng Shui expert and I have helped thousands of people improve their lives through Feng Shui.

Career Area Overview

In Feng Shui, make changes to the Career Area of your space to help steer your life path in a better direction. Fix up this part of your home or office to open up new life opportunities. This will also help you guide your career toward the direction you want.

Really, this area is all about what you do. For most people, that would be their jobs. Others, however, spend their time volunteering for non-profit organizations. Additionally, for business owners whose life paths are intertwined with their work, this area will play a significant role.

• Primary Element: Water
• Complementary Element: Metal
• Best Color: Black
• Complementary Colors: White, Grey or Blue
• Best Shape: Undulating, meaning free-flowing or without shape
• Complementary Shapes: Circles or Spheres
• Enhancements: Mirrors, Career Symbols
• Destructive Items: Red, Yellow, Orange, Earth, Fire, Squares, Triangles

In Feng Shui, the entrance to your home and office is associated with your Career. Boost the Career area of your Bagua so you can move yourself to the front of the promotion line. You can also use it to earn more money, gain respect, and can put your career on the fast track.

Flowing Water

In Feng Shui, the flow of money is represented by flowing water. Therefore, if you want to have a good salary and boost your career, it is best to have moving water (literally or figuratively) in the Career Gua of your home.

Moving water can be in the form of a water fountain or something that looks like or represents water. For instance, you can use a large framed mirror or a picture of a calm-flowing river here. Additionally, make sure that the water flows or appears to be flowing into the house and not out of the house. Also, the same principle applies to paintings or pictures of water.

If you want the absolute best Feng Shui you can find, put a pool or large fountain in front of your home. Some of the wealthiest people, such as those with the Getty Villa or Hearst Castle, have homes with water flowing towards the front of their homes.

Ensure that any water or fountains you have around your front door are kept clean and operational. This is because stagnant water will translate to a stagnant career.

No Giant Waves!

Please note that you should not have any destructive representations of water like pictures of crashing waves. You want your career and money to consistently flow in freely and calmly instead of periodically crashing down on you like a giant wave.

Before I met him, my husband had a picture that was terrible for his career. His picture was of a man standing at the door of a lighthouse with giant waves crashing against it. Obviously, that is only good if you want a chaotic career and erratic income.

Colors

The best color to use in the Career area of your home or business is what represents the ocean of water – black.

You could have a black glass free-flowing vase next to your door, for instance. White, grey, or blue also complement this area through the creative cycle of the Bagua, but your best choice is still black.

Red Doors

How about red doors, which we often see in homes with wonderful Feng Shui? Just as it attracts your attention, painting the front of your door red attracts energy to your home. Just inside, however, stick with the colors mentioned previously.

Things to Avoid

Avoid anything that represents fire or earth here because they will create steam or mud when combined with the water of the Career Area. You don’t want to vaporize or muddy up your career, do you?

Avoid the fire symbols, including pointed or triangular objects, any colors like red or orange, and anything that looks like fire. Also avoid plants that have thorns or pointy edges, such as rose bushes or most cactus varieties.

Don’t include anything here that represents earth. For instance, stay away from earth-tone colors (brown, tan, light yellow, etc.), squared or flat objects, and earth-like materials like soil.

Cure for the New Career

If you need a new career or want to take a new direction in your existing career, hang a 6-rod metal wind chime in the Career Gua in your home. Specifically, the wind chime should be hung with a red string 9 inches or 9 centimeters long (or some multiple of 9). Wind chimes are a wonderful Feng Shui tool, as they attract a lot of new and fresh energy, as well as provide you with focus to reach your goals.

Use Your Front Door!

Before you even bother to use all of these items to help you, it is very important to always use your front door. Make sure you enter your home using your front door as much as possible. You should not use a garage or side door as your main entrance.

In Feng Shui, your front door is the proverbial mouth of your house. You need to feed your home with energy, or Chi, through the mouth, or front door. When you or your guests open and use the front door, energy enters your home and flows gently around your entire house to bless you with all of its abundance.

These days, many of us use our garage door and come into the home through the laundry room or straight from the garage because it is convenient. Because your front door is usually in Feng Shui’s Career Gua, using or not using it has a huge impact on your career, as well as every aspect of the Bagua.

Have you ever seen a millionaire enter his or her home through the side or back door? No! That’s because their employees do.

…and That Your Door is Functional

Make sure that your doorbell, doorknob and hinges work.

Ensure your front door area is well-lit so it can be seen from the street and you can find your keys easily when you are standing in front of your door.

Additionally, never block any part of your door. Even if you have a double-door and only use one, be sure not to block the second door that isn’t regularly used.

Also, be sure to open that second door every now-and-then. When you open your door, make sure it opens smoothly and quietly; no screeching metal noises or squeaky doors, please!

Enter the Chi

One of the most important things to remember is that the front door is where all of your Feng Shui energy, or Chi, enters the home. Without this Chi, you won’t have the lifeblood that is needed to impact every Gua of your home.

If you feel that absolutely nothing is going right in your life, this is the area to pay close attention to. Upon the first meeting with my clients, some seem to simultaneously have issues with their health, career, wealth, fame, love, and creativity while having no ideas or helpful people to get them through it. After looking at their space, I often find that they have a blockage in their Career Area.

Use that front door regularly, make sure nothing is blocking the entrance in front of or inside of the door, and make sure it doesn’t creak!
