How to Beat the Perfectionist Gremlins

BySusan Chan March 11, 2015

Shaking it up!I’ve taken my monthly newsletter to a video format (deep breath).As I explain in my video, starting something new can sometimes be challenging and bring up alot of inner dialogue (mostly unsavory). What’s important to remember when approaching anything new, it will most likely be an uncomfortable process. I know, not exactly what…

Geng Hai Fat Choi!

BySusan Chan February 19, 2015

Geng Hai Fat Choi is a Chinese New Year greeting which literally means “Wishing you the best of wealth” or “Good fortune is coming your way.” We Chinese really know what’s important. All kidding aside, in Feng Shui, as a general rule, we say that you can only have wealth if you have good health…

What the Goat wants you to Know

BySusan Chan February 16, 2015

The Year of the Goat promises to be very different than last year. 2014 was Year of the Wood Horse – lots of action, energy, ups and downs. And if you weren’t prepped and well strapped in, you surely felt that saddle. Ouch. This year’s goat energy is going to be friendlier although not without…

Traditional Chinese New Year Prep

BySusan Chan February 13, 2015

We are officially 6 days away from Chinese New Year. Since today is Friday the 13th, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about rituals to help prepare for Chinese New Year. It’s not that I’m superstitious, but there’s lots that goes into preparing for Chinese New Year if you are a “real” Chinese person….

Dance Through The Winter Solstice

BySusan Chan December 17, 2014

Winter Solstice. It’s cold and gray. Everyone seems kinda grumpy all the time. And it’s as contagious as last year’s flu. Oy. On December 21st, we will have only 9 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. For some reason, I don’t feel very Feng Shui-ey right now. But this happens like clockwork every single December….

Prepping Your Inner and Outer Homes for the Holidays

BySusan Chan December 10, 2014

While the festive superficial bling is fun and endearing, what I really cherish is what’s underneath.

Festivities can bring up alot of mixed feelings and emotions.

Overwhelm, fatigue, the oh so familiar, “I-can’t-get-myself-off-the-couch-to-do-anything” feeling.

But being the optimist or activist as I am, I feel that this is the perfect time of year to face your “stuff” underneath and really see how things are working (or not) in your life.

Looking at and preparing your inner home especially as the year finishes out, will definitely help smoothly transition into the new year.

Taking Advantage of the Winter Season

BySusan Chan December 3, 2014

Winter is officially here. During the arctic dip, I tend to want to hibernate and sip hot chocolate near a fireplace, leaving home chores to warmer, springier months. Totally normal.

But there’s a secret I want to share with you.

It is possible to work on Feng Shui home improvement even when it’s cold outside.

That’s because every season in Feng Shui has its advantages.

In Feng Shui, we honor and incorporate seasons into energetic evaluations. That’s because Feng Shui is all about mimicking the perfection of Nature and what could be more natural than the 4 Seasons?

Creating an Altar to Invite Abundance

BySusan Chan November 26, 2014

Let the countdown to stretchy waistbands begin! In most of the Western Hemisphere, we’re only a couple of days away from an afternoon (or two) of food comas, football and naps galore. Thanksgiving inspires us to be grateful for the abundance that we sometimes take for granted yet permeates our everyday lives. People often…

Signs Are Everywhere – Just Look For Them!

BySusan Chan November 12, 2014

My kitchen faucet broke last week. It just keeled over. I was grumbling to have to add this task to my eternal to do list until a friend asked me, what does that mean in Feng Shui? Great question! I sometimes forget that I can Feng Shui my own Feng Shui.

Wk 2: Fall Cleanse – Finding Your Oneness

BySusan Chan October 22, 2014

The other day I was waiting for the train and noticed a child aimlessly roaming around. Where were his parents?? I saw what might be a parent, but that person was in full distraction mode. Instantly I felt myself become hyper aware of the child, keeping my laser focus on him. Kinda like Professor X….
