Want to find the right job? Ever feel that you are just one lucky break away in your career? Care to carve out a career path that will lead you to greater fulfilment? Then try Feng Shui.

Feng Shui (pronounced “feng shway”) might be able to help you in getting better jobs and more.

Ancient Chinese emperors have kept these principles secret for centuries to guarantee job security. Perhaps they can work miracles for you too.

What is Feng Shui?

Feng Shui is an ancient art of architecture and placement. It’s actually the study of the manipulation of energy ?“chi” in Chinese ?to positively affect different aspects of your life.

Feng Shui’s principal aim is to improve your life by creating balance and harmony through harnessing the energies around you.

Simply put, how you arrange things in your outer environment reflects as well as affects what’s going on in your inner world.

Your career and Feng Shui

Feng Shui teaches you that the choices you make in your career reflect the very reason you were born. Although your job could merely be a career to you; ideally, it should be your soul’s calling as well as your destiny.

Your career reflects how you feel about yourself, your self-esteem, your reason for being and your journey. If you do what you love and are also good at it, are most interested in and passionate about it then the rest will follow. And that “rest” includes success and money.

Whether personal or professional, health, happiness and prosperity are considered to be Feng Shui’s three great blessings.

These are widely available to anyone who wants to bring clarity to one’s intentions and supports that mission by applying the time-tested Feng Shui techniques.

Feng Shui maintains that our pressing realities ? whether it be house rent, the house mortgage, car payments or the kids’ education ? should never stop us from finding the life we were meant to live and the right job to support that life.

Applying Feng Shui to job search

Feng Shui, if practised properly, can give that extra bounce to your job search. Try some easy Feng Shui practices to harness the energies surrounding you and hold your destiny in your hands:

• Add ‘motion’ to your present career by adding a water feature near your home’s front entrance. An indoor fountain with water flowing into the house, not out, will create a flood of opportunities for you whether or not you’re currently employed. You can also accomplish the same objective by placing pictures of ‘water in motion’ like oceans with rolling waves or cascading waterfalls in that spot.

• Fish, either real ones or photos of them, will give an added boost to this goal.

• Turn on the lights outside your front entrance and leave them on for an additional three hours a day. This will ignite inspirations and lead them directly to your door. Think of it as a beacon that illuminates your goals.

• Harness ‘chi’ by hanging a metal wind chime outside your front door. This will showcase your reputation to the world.
