Placing Stones Behind the Office Chair
There are different viewpoints on placing stones behind the office chair, and a careful choice should be made after comprehensive consideration.
Feng Shui Effects Are Controversial
From the perspective of Feng Shui, if the office desk cannot be placed against a wall, placing stones behind the office chair can have certain positive effects. Placing eight small stones or one large round stone can enhance interpersonal harmony, increasing the trust and appreciation from superiors and subordinates. Placing a steady Taishan stone (or Taishan Stone Guardian) symbolizes having a 'reliable backer', which can stabilize the support and prevent villains from easily causing trouble. However, there is also an opinion that stones belong to the Liang Gua, representing blockage and cessation, which can have a negative impact on the owner's fortune. If the shape and quality of the stones are not good, they may also bring unfavorable information.
Stone Selection Requires Attention
You can choose Feng Shui items such as Shoushan stones, crystals, and agates. Natural stones also have similar effects, and you can also use ordinary stones according to your personal preferences and directional taboos. When selecting stones, focus on the shape rather than the texture and stripes, and avoid oddly shaped stones to prevent bringing negative energy. The colors should be unified to avoid being too flashy. The optimal spacing between stones is about sixty percent of the front area of the stones. In addition, you can choose stones according to your personality. People with a strong personality can place stone bonsai with intersecting peaks or stone tigers on the desk. People with a gentle personality can place stone rabbits or pandas. People with an elegant temperament can place a textured stone with plum or orchid patterns on the desk.
Placement Taboos Should Be Noted
Stones should not be placed in the middle of the office desk, on the wealth position, or under the desk. Placing stones in the middle of the office desk can block the Ming Tang (bright hall), hindering career progress. Placing stones on the wealth position can block the financial path. Hiding stones under the desk can obstruct fortune. Do not place cracked stones in the office, especially on the wealth position, as it can form an image of 'losing wealth'. Do not place too many or too fragmented stones in the office; otherwise, the energy field will be chaotic. Choosing 3 - 5 square and upright stones will result in a stable energy field.
Other Viewpoints for Reference
Some people believe that placing stones behind the office chair is not aesthetically pleasing and can also affect work convenience. Others think that placing stones behind is useless and suggest draping a yellow cloth over the back of the chair. However, the main issue is that a poor position of the office desk can affect career and financial fortune.
