Office Chair Mysticism
The mystical considerations related to office chairs mainly involve two aspects: the back support and the leader's seat.
Requirements for the Back Support of an Office Chair
In the mystical arrangement of office chairs, what lies behind the chair is of utmost importance. The back is regarded as the "Xuanwu" direction. According to traditional beliefs, this direction should not be a door or a window. As the saying goes, "With a backer, one can handle affairs calmly." It is best to have a solid wall behind the office seat, as a solid wall symbolizes a stable support, akin to having a solid backer. If a solid wall is not available, stable furniture such as a large bookshelf can be placed there, or items like dark-colored coats or dark-colored screens can be used. Dark colors are often believed in mysticism to possess a stable and heavy aura, capable of serving a similar function as a backer, implying that there is support behind, which can bring a sense of psychological security and stability.
Conversely, if the back of the office chair is open or the back support is unstable, such as when it is against glass or a hollow partition, in mystical terms, it means there is no backer or the backer is unstable. This layout may lead to a lack of trust from leaders at work because, without stable support, it is difficult for leaders to confidently assign important tasks. At the same time, relationships with colleagues may also be strained, and one may easily find themselves isolated in team collaborations. Moreover, promotions and salary increases are out of the question because, without the support of a backer, numerous obstacles will be encountered on the path of career development. If faced with a situation where there is no back support, a cushion in the shape of a backer can be placed to make up for the deficiency to some extent and enhance one's own aura and fortune.
The Seat of the Leader or Boss
The seat of the leader or boss also has special mystical considerations. Never casually sit in the leader's or boss's seat. This is not only an act of respect for the boss but also, from a mystical perspective, an act of responsibility towards oneself. The seat of the leader or boss is usually believed to carry their own aura and fortune. Sitting in it casually may disrupt the balance of this aura, potentially having adverse effects on both oneself and the boss. Moreover, respecting the leader's or boss's seat reflects the basic etiquette and order in the workplace, helping to maintain good workplace relationships and a positive work environment.
