Alright, so another, sort of mundane thing to consider in your home office but very important, is lighting. You need to be able to see what you're doing, you need to be able to read well, you need to not have to strain your eyes. So, the lamp on your desk, which hopefully you have one or you might have an overhead light that works as well, it needs to be a wattage that's bright enough for you to see. A way that you can sort of play around with it, is to actually use different colored bulbs. Now, some of them might be too dark and not conducive to providing the actual lighting for your reading, so if you do have an overhead light and you want to, you know, create a mood, or bump up a feng shui area on the bagua with a light, you could get the right colored bulb for that area. So, you could get a purple bulb and put the lamp in the wealth area on your desk and use light that way to cater it to what you're working on in feng shui. If you see behind me here, the corner is a little bit dark and that is the relationship area. So, if relationships were something you were working on, light is just a way to increase the energy in that area. So, I'm actually going to turn that light on and if you can sort of see the before and after, it's just bringing more life and more light. Light represents the sun, the natural source of light that we have out there. So, to brighten up a dark corner which perhaps it's sort of a dark corner in your life, just put a light there. It's very important to pay attention to when a bulb burns out. It could be somewhere or representative of a leak or something burning out, maybe you're burning out at your job and you can pay attention to the bulbs that burn out and where they happen to be in your home office. It's important to replace that bulb as soon as possible with the bulb that is the same wattage or higher. You don't want to go down in wattage because that's sort of like dimming the energy and taking a step backwards. And if a light doesn't work, if it doesn't work and the switch doesn't work or needs repair, get a new lamp, repair it--anything that is broken or cracked or leaking is a place where energy could be leaking, and you want to have all the energy at your disposal that you can to increase your personal energy in your job, at your home office. And if you ever have anything in your space, a light or anything else that you really don't like, every time you look at it, there's a little part of you that recognizes that and that little "hit" that you take when you see it, that's something that could go into your work, when you're in your home office. And at all possible, you want to be only surrounded by things that you love, because that makes you feel better and that will affect your work in a good way. So, look at the lighting in your home office and make sure that you can work properly with the lighting that you have.
