How to Feng Shui a Warehouse

There are many types of businesses and any structure with four walls and a ceiling can be assessed with a flying star chart. The Flying Star chart gives us an impression of what kind of magnetic field was established inside the structure, based on when it was built and what direction it is aligned. That magnetic field will have a powerful influence on all those who dwell inside. There is even speculation that inanimate objects, like the inventory, can be affected as well. This holds true for all warehouse spaces.

When evaluating a business which is attached to warehouse space, usually much less emphasis is placed on the warehouse space (aka storage space), compared to the attached offices or sales or retail area. Where human beings work, make sales, conduct business (over the phone, internet or in person) is much more important than where different items are stored in the warehouse. And yet, if there are employees working in a warehouse space, it is also possible and good judgment to have a look at their work space.

In any given built environment, there may be areas which can cause or contribute to accidents and warehouse spaces might be even riskier places to work than a normal office space. Tall shelves, sharp objects and an industrial type of setting could easily aggravate a hazardous potential. As well, if someone is in fact working in a warehouse space, all the more reason to employ as many Feng Shui applications as possible since by definition, the warehouse space is not an ideal area to work in. For example, those working in a warehouse may not be around much natural light or ventilation, unless the business keeps the large roller door open during the day.

A person working in a warehouse may also be exposed to more chemicals, depending on what is stored in the warehouse and what kind of production may also be taking place in the area. For example, I have one client with an organic lotion company. The warehouse used to also be the same location where the lotions were formulated and bottled, as well as stored. His work space included a row of offices with exterior windows. However, another client has a tile company where the tiles are cut and stored in the warehouse section and there is a lot of machinery stationed there.

To the best of our ability, a classically trained practitioner needs to figure out how the business can incorporate some of the natural elements into the built space, but also not allow for any adjustment to get in the way of storage or production. One client of mine has an auto collision repair shop where the very nature of the warehouse must remain rather raw and there were a limited number of sensible areas where the paint room could be placed. Often times, with a warehouse space, the walls need to be used as locations for elemental adjustments and more than one audit required that the business paint a wall red (for fire) or blue (for water). Areas of a warehouse that might need the metal element often have the real element (such as steel) already present in the machinery or steel shelves.

After we have done whatever is possible and practical with the warehouse, the connected offices are still the priority. The entrance into any business can attract or repel business. The location of where key people (sales, marketing) are sitting can also help determine the success of the business. Some staff sit in areas that could undermine good work performance and all this can be addressed within the scope of a traditional Feng Shui evaluation. Data that is gathered includes the age of the building, compass alignment, outside influences, architectural lay-out for best qi flow, current cycles the building is in, birth dates of important personnel and the details of micro-managing each individual office or cubicle space.

Feng Shui: Water-Snake Year 2013-14 Correspondences   

Feng Shui: Water-Snake Year 2013-14 Correspondences

People's unique Birth Year Energies can be adjusted to changing Qi energy-patterns via 5 Elements Feng Shui. Improved, health, fortune and prospects may ensue for those complying with Heaven's Law whilst here on Earth, of their own free-will.

In China and the Far East the Snake is considered a 'lucky' Birth Sign. There, family planning frequently takes Year Animals and Elements into account when choices are made.

Water: Snake Year 2013-14 Year Element

Water Correspondences

Water's Wealth connexions are many (e.g. current accounts, currency, floatation, cash-flow and income-streams). Communications (see above) physical and verbal are linked similarly (e.g. stream-of-consciousness accounts, word-flow, gushing compliments etc). Use the South East 'Wealth' Sector of rooms and dwellings for placements, rather than the North (Helpful People) Sector, for maximum effectiveness during this period.

Crystals and Minerals:

River-bed pebbles are useful for display during this period. Agate, Opal (particularly Fire Opals) and Topaz have auspicious links to the Snake Sign. Crystal/mineral boats, water-features, bowls, fish and figurines can activate appropriate sectors of locations.

Backgrounds:

Metal backgrounds (colours, materials etc) will also encourage healthy Qi-flows within dwellings during this period as Metal supports Water in Feng Shui (tanks, taps, pipes and pans confirm this, Metal even melts and flows when heated). As Water supports Wood, materials of this nature can be highlighted in foregrounds similarly.

Colours

Black (Big, Sea/Salt Water); Blue (Small, Fresh/Drinking Water).

Materials:

Mirrors, plastics, glass (plain and coloured), natural crystals, silk.

Motifs, Images and Motifs:

Snakes, Taiji Symbols, water-features, Aquaria, the 'Chan Chu' (3-Legged Toad or Money-Frog) crystal-boats and ships, Fish, Lakes, Rivers, Landscapes (especially Water-Colours).

Designs

Serpentine, waves and wavy patterns (especially in pastel colours) Willow-patterns and coiling, undulating meandering designs are particularly appropriate.

Scenes and Tableux:

Particularly appealing at this time should be Bodhisattva Kuan Shi Yin, Daoist Immortal and Shaolin Temple Patron Deity's images and statues (particularly Aquarian water-bearing ones). Traffic-flow, communication and travel use, Roads, Streets, and Street scenes also represent Water in Feng Shui terms. Photos, replicas and even drawings can be part of these via 5 Elements Feng Shui's 'resemblance' principle.

Overall

Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui consider the influence of Year Animals and Elements in their forecasts and cures. Both play life-long roles (although Elemental influences are still relatively unknown in the West) affecting people and events.

Regarding infants born and nurtured during this period, 5 Elements Feng Shui may help balance and harmonise their initial and later environments. Older Snakes (and others) sharing Water as their Year Element can also benefit from 5 Elements Feng Shui, like individuals of all Birth Year Animals and Elements.

How to Feng Shui a Warehouse

There are many types of businesses and any structure with four walls and a ceiling can be assessed with a flying star chart. The Flying Star chart gives us an impression of what kind of magnetic field was established inside the structure, based on when it was built and what direction it is aligned. That magnetic field will have a powerful influence on all those who dwell inside. There is even speculation that inanimate objects, like the inventory, can be affected as well. This holds true for all warehouse spaces.

When evaluating a business which is attached to warehouse space, usually much less emphasis is placed on the warehouse space (aka storage space), compared to the attached offices or sales or retail area. Where human beings work, make sales, conduct business (over the phone, internet or in person) is much more important than where different items are stored in the warehouse. And yet, if there are employees working in a warehouse space, it is also possible and good judgment to have a look at their work space.

In any given built environment, there may be areas which can cause or contribute to accidents and warehouse spaces might be even riskier places to work than a normal office space. Tall shelves, sharp objects and an industrial type of setting could easily aggravate a hazardous potential. As well, if someone is in fact working in a warehouse space, all the more reason to employ as many Feng Shui applications as possible since by definition, the warehouse space is not an ideal area to work in. For example, those working in a warehouse may not be around much natural light or ventilation, unless the business keeps the large roller door open during the day.

A person working in a warehouse may also be exposed to more chemicals, depending on what is stored in the warehouse and what kind of production may also be taking place in the area. For example, I have one client with an organic lotion company. The warehouse used to also be the same location where the lotions were formulated and bottled, as well as stored.

Often times, with a warehouse space, the walls need to be used as locations for elemental adjustments and more than one audit required that the business paint a wall red (for fire) or blue (for water). Areas of a warehouse that might need the metal element often have the real element (such as steel) already present in the machinery or steel shelves.

The location of where key people (sales, marketing) are sitting can also help determine the success of the business. Some staff sit in areas that could undermine good work performance and all this can be addressed within the scope of a traditional Feng Shui evaluation. Data that is gathered includes the age of the building, compass alignment, outside influences, architectural lay-out for best qi flow, current cycles the building is in, birth dates of important personnel and the details of micro-managing each individual office or cubicle space.

Areas of a warehouse that might need the metal element often have the real element (such as steel) already present in the machinery or steel shelves.

After we have done whatever is possible and practical with the warehouse, the connected offices are still the priority. The entrance into any business can attract or repel business. The location of where key people (sales, marketing) are sitting can also help determine the success of the business. Some staff sit in areas that could undermine good work performance and all this can be addressed within the scope of a traditional Feng Shui evaluation. Data that is gathered includes the age of the building, compass alignment, outside influences, architectural lay-out for best qi flow, current cycles the building is in, birth dates of important personnel and the details of micro-managing each individual office or cubicle space.

How to Feng Shui a Warehouse

There are many types of businesses and any structure with four walls and a ceiling can be assessed with a flying star chart. The Flying Star chart gives us an impression of what kind of magnetic field was established inside the structure, based on when it was built and what direction it is aligned. That magnetic field will have a powerful influence on all those who dwell inside. There is even speculation that inanimate objects, like the inventory, can be affected as well. This holds true for all warehouse spaces.

When evaluating a business which is attached to warehouse space, usually much less emphasis is placed on the warehouse space (aka storage space), compared to the attached offices or sales or retail area. Where human beings work, make sales, conduct business (over the phone, internet or in person) is much more important than where different items are stored in the warehouse. And yet, if there are employees working in a warehouse space, it is also possible and good judgment to have a look at their work space.

In any given built environment, there may be areas which can cause or contribute to accidents and warehouse spaces might be even riskier places to work than a normal office space. Tall shelves, sharp objects and an industrial type of setting could easily aggravate a hazardous potential. As well, if someone is in fact working in a warehouse space, all the more reason to employ as many Feng Shui applications as possible since by definition, the warehouse space is not an ideal area to work in. For example, those working in a warehouse may not be around much natural light or ventilation, unless the business keeps the large roller door open during the day.

A person working in a warehouse may also be exposed to more chemicals, depending on what is stored in the warehouse and what kind of production may also be taking place in the area. For example, I have one client with an organic lotion company. The warehouse used to also be the same location where the lotions were formulated and bottled, as well as stored. His work space included a row of offices with exterior windows. However, another client has a tile company where the tiles are cut and stored in the warehouse section and there is a lot of machinery stationed there.

To the best of our ability, a classically trained practitioner needs to figure out how the business can incorporate some of the natural elements into the built space, but also not allow for any adjustment to get in the way of storage or production.
