Stone Behind the Office Chair

There are various opinions on placing stones behind an office chair, including positive effects in Feng Shui and opposing views.

Positive Effects in Feng Shui

• Enhancing Interpersonal Relationships: From the perspective of Feng Shui, if the back of the office desk cannot lean against a wall, placing stones behind the office chair is a good alternative. Placing eight small stones or one large round stone can increase harmony in interpersonal relationships, making supervisors and subordinates increase their trust and appreciation for you. Additionally, placing a stone on the right side of the office desk can also dispel the negative energy brought by malicious people and guard against their schemes.
• Stone Selection Matters: Stones such as Shoushan stones, crystals, and agates can be selected as Feng Shui items, and natural stones also have this effect. If these stones cannot be placed, you can also choose a chair with a higher backrest. The choice of stones should reflect the owner's personality. For example, a person with a strong personality can place a stone bonsai with intersecting peaks or a stone tiger figurine on the table. A person with a gentle personality can place a stone rabbit or panda figurine. A person with an elegant temperament can place a textured stone with plum or orchid patterns on the table. In Feng Shui, it is taboo to have oddly shaped stones. When selecting, emphasis should be placed on the regularity of the shape, and it should not be too unconventional. For stones with both shape and texture, the shape is primary and the texture is secondary. The colors of the placed items should be unified and not too flashy. Avoid clustering stones of the same color and match them appropriately. The best spacing between stones is about sixty percent of the front area of the stones, which is the gap between two stones.

Opposing Views

Some people believe that ordinary stones can be used as a backer, combined with personal preferences and directional considerations. However, others think that placing stones behind an office chair is inappropriate. Firstly, it is not aesthetically pleasing and affects the overall harmony of the office environment. Secondly, it is inconvenient for work as it may obstruct movement. Thirdly, stones belong to the Liang Gua (a hexagram representing blockage and stagnation), which can have a negative impact on the owner's fortune. If the shape and quality of the stones are not good, they can also bring unfavorable information to the owner.
