Position of Your Desk, Especially a Cubicle - by: Jane Kifer

If you are the boss, or the teacher, your desk better be facing the door with everyone else between you. But, what if you are in a cubicle type desk and there is no way around it. What if you cannot control your back to the door at all. My friend is a dentist, an amazing dentist and she and her partner have a wonderful practice. Their backs, however are both to the door and because they have a beautiful built in unit to accommodate a small space, it sort of has to be there. My desk is now in my cool new garage art studio. I love it. However I face a wall. You must put up a mirror in front of you so you can see behind you. It would even be great to put a wind chime above your head, but this isn't always possible in some work circumstances without people looking at you funny. The idea is you need to see who is coming . It also expands your view from hitting a wall, opens your perspective. If you are able to put of the wind chime, put it up with intentions for your work. And ring it when you think of it to resonate the waves of sound with your intention ringing out into the world. The mirror adds subconscious safety and instantly creates more space.
