Feng Shui Measurements in Inches

By Cheryl Cirelli

You can convert feng shui measurements in inches for a more precise use of feng shui
principles. Measurements are an important aspect of feng shui since the dimensions of an
object can affect the overall energy in a room. Using objects such as furniture that are not
proportionate in size to a room can attract misfortune and bad luck. Knowing the basics of
feng shui measuring can ensure that you create a balanced space that is filled with positive
energy.

A Feng Shui Foot

The feng shui foot originated from the side of what is often referred to as the "Magic
Square" or "Lo Shu Square". The length of the feng shui foot is then divided into to eight
sections, each representing one of the Eight Trigrams.

The Eight Trigrams

Each of the Eight Trigrams signifies something specific.

 Li: This is the Trigram of Fire that represents passion, glory and fame.
 Kun: The Trigram of Earth represents protection and beginnings.
 Tui: This is the Trigram of metal, representing desire and pleasure.
  Chien: The Trigram of Heaven represents superiority and leadership.
 Kan: This Trigram of Water represents stagnation and misfortune.
 Ken: This is the Trigram of the Mountain and represents stillness and protection
against danger.
 Chen: This is the Trigram of Wood and symbolizes growth, awakening and
excitement.
 Sun: The Trigram of the Wind represents flexibility.

Feng Shui Measurements

Traditional feng shui rulers denote which measures are auspicious (positive chi) and which
are inauspicious (negative chi). The problem is that not all feng shui rulers have the
measurements in inches, making a conversion necessary. The mathematical conversion is
very simple: One feng shui foot equals about 17 centimeters. If you feel the need to be
exact, one feng shui foot equals 16.929133858 inches. Here is a quick cheat sheet of feng
shui measurements in inches:

 One feng shui foot = 13 1/2 inches. Here's the breakdown:


o One feng shui foot = approximately 17 centimeters
o 17 centimeters = approximately 6 3/4 inches
o 6 3/4 multiplied by two (it's just easier) = 13 1/2 inches

Converting Larger Feng Shui Measurements in Inches

Very few things in anyone's home, apartment or office is measured in inches; here
are a few simple conversions of feng shui measurements in inches to feet:

 Five feet = Approximately 4 1/2 feng shui feet

 10 feet = Approximately 9 feng shui feet
 15 feet = Approximately 13 1/2 feng shui feet
 20 feet = Approximately 18 feng shui feet

Again, if you have the desire to get the exact measurements, five feet is 4.44 feng shui feet.
For the examples given up above, the 4.44 feng shui feet was rounded up to 4.5 feet. It just
makes the math much easier and since nothing is perfect in nature, being off by less then
one-sixteenth of an inch isn't going to affect your chi.

Using Feng Shui Measurements

Finally, after all that math (sorry for all you metric systems users), here is yet another quick
reference guide for positive and negative feng shui measurements:

Feng Shui Measurements

Inches Chi Influence
0 to 2 1/4 Positive Fortune and wealth
2 1/4 to 4 1/4 Negative Illness
4 1/4 to 6 3/8 Negative Relationships
6 3/8 to 8 3/8 Positive Fairness and Equality
8 3/8 to 10 1/2 Positive Encouragement and promotion
10 1/2 to 12 5/8 Negative Material loss or theft
12 5/8 to 14 3/4 Negative Misfortune
14 3/4 to 16 7/8 Positive Beginnings

When Measuring Objects

It's more likely that the objects in your home or office are not going to be the exact
measurements as those described above and that's okay. Simply utilize the basic principles
of feng shui and remember to trust your intuition. Feng shui does specify where and how
you place objects in your home or office, but it is also extremely intuitive because chi is
energy you don't see, but feel. If you place a large piece of furniture in a certain space and it
just doesn't "feel" right, move it around until it does. Use this same intuitive principal for
small objects as well. Finally, don't overwhelm yourself when applying feng shui principles
in your home, especially with something as detailed as measurements of objects and floor
plans in your home. Instead, start with one room at a time until all the rooms are complete.

Creating a Feng Shui Power Office – 6 Easy Steps to Successful Surroundings

Executive in OfficeMore and more people are looking to gain an edge in their working
environments. One method that businesspeople are increasingly turning to is feng shui.
Feng shui promises that by arranging your office environment correctly, it is possible to
create a better career for yourself, and that it can, in turn, promote further opportunity and
advancement.

In feng shui, there are a few very basic, yet potent, guidelines to creating an effective office
environment – and that can instantly boost the career quotient of almost any office
inhabitant. Although, some offices may require more extensive rearrangement to help
promote success, most offices only require a few modest changes. Use these suggestions to
help you create your own “Power Office.”

1. Sit in the power position.

This is situated opposite and diagonal from the door or opening to the room. The desk
should be here facing the door. Draw more emphasis to this area by creating a focal point
with a lamp, artwork, tall plant, etc.

This also helps create a straight line of sight to this area, imbuing even more power and
authority. What’s more, this corner is also considered the lucky corner of any room – so
you definitely want your desk there!

If possible, try to use personal feng shui by tapping your personal auspicious directions.

2. Sit behind a power desk.

A power desk is one that is substantially-sized and correctly placed. A power desk is never
an L-shaped desk (the shape of which is like a cleaver or hatchet, and is thought to cut the
person sitting at the desk). It also has specific dimensions.

Here are dimensions for an auspicious desk (in inches):

75Lx43WX33H or 66-70Lx24-27Wx32-33H
Small desks are deemed inauspicious and thwart future growth.

3. Sit in a power chair.

A good chair is one with a high back and arm rests (solid, if possible). Although the chairs
that are designed for the back are very popular right now, their open weave does not
provide good symbolic support for the person occupying them.

4. Put power behind you.

Power includes symbols of mountains, banking or business photographs, and your boss. Be
sure that your desk does not face your boss’ desk, but rather, he or she is behind you —
even if he or she is on the other side of the building. This also means you should never sit
with a window (no support; unless it is a window with a view to a very prominent business
or bank), door (no advancement), or bookshelves (backstabbing) behind you.

5. Get power in front of you.

Keep the path in front of your desk open and clear. If there are obstructions, such as chairs,
etc., the path to a rise in your career will also be obstructed.

6. Activate your desk dragon.

Put fresh flowers in the left-hand corner of your desk (as you are sitting at it). Or, place a
plant in this corner. This is the ‘dragon side’ of your desk and it benefits tremendously from
the special energy of plants and flowers. Never, ever put bonsai plants in your office, or
your career will be stunted and short-lived. Nor should you decorate with cactus, or your
career will be riddled with problems and difficult working relationships.
