Wk 1: Fall Cleanse – Your Piles vs You

BySusan Chan October 15, 2014

Being a Feng Shui Consultant doesn’t make me virtuous nor immune to clutter. Last week I found myself staring at a pile of things that were – guess where – smack in the middle of my abundance area. A leaning tower of things I needed to get fixed or donate and all the in-betweens. Just…

Used, Inherited or Saturated Objects

BySusan Chan September 24, 2014

It’s officially Autumn and we naturally want to spend more time indoors, feeling the need to nest and finally getting those pesky home projects started. That means it may be time to decide what to do with that stuff that’s piling up – like the sad doggie painting that was a gift from Aunt Sally or the antique lamp you inherited…

Dude, where’s the Sofa?

BySusan Chan September 3, 2014

I live in New York City. Aside from Japan where I hear people get help squashing into subway cars and slumber in sleep pods, I think we may be the city with the least amount of square footage per person. Due to this space challenge, many feel that they would like to follow my suggestions of putting their desk or…

Activating your Career Path

BySusan Chan August 27, 2014

There are no jobs out there. Nobody is hiring. The economy is really bad. I feel sorry for recent graduates or anyone looking for a job. I’m lucky to have the job I have, so why would I look anywhere else? Here’s what I say to all of this chatter: Bull-crap. (sorry for my French,…

Treating your Clutter Affliction with Feng Shui

BySusan Chan August 6, 2014

Gotta organize. Gotta get rid of stuff. Gotta make the time to clear my pantry, garage, basement, paperwork. Stuff. Things. Clutter. And more clutter.Does this scenario sound familiar to you? I’ve been working with many clients recently who tell me that they are drowning in their stuff. They can’t seem to get ahead. Piles get bigger, to-do lists get…

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

BySusan Chan July 30, 2014

Gosh darn it NYC, it’s hot outside. Summer is definitely here in its full and beautiful glory. It’s beach / watermelon eating / dancing under the stars weather and all I hear from those around me is, “I’m exhausted.” So what’s up? This feeling of exhaustion makes sense not only because the warmer weather makes us more active…

Jazzing up the Feng Shui Scene

BySusan Chan July 23, 2014

Quite often, I get prospects who come to me freaking out about the Feng Shui of their spaces. “Omg, I’m in big trouble. My bedroom is (fill adjective in here), my stuff is (fill your personal word here), and my door is facing (noun here) and I know it’s bad. Really baaaad.”Let me tell you, I usually…

Time for Some Bright Ideas

BySusan Chan July 9, 2014

On a recent visit to The Container Store (yup Feng Shui consultants need to organize their stuff too), one of the employees struck up a pleasant conversation. I’ve changed her name to Linda for storytelling purposes. I encourage you to read the post to the end to find out the importance of cultivating your personal knowledge today. Me:…

Finding Your Nest, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan June 4, 2014

New York is a city of movers and shakers. Especially this time of year. It seems like everyone is either dreaming of moving, actively looking for a new home or just changed residences. That’s alot of chi movement. In Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of balance or yin/yang is of utmost importance. We don’t want anything to be…

Enter Here

BySusan Chan May 14, 2014

I’ve always loved doors – colorful doors, quirky doors, classic doors. It doesn’t matter. Doors have a big significance in Feng Shui. Your front door is where energy enters your space (ideally) and where potential opportunities come in. It is also said that the doors of the home represent the mouths of the individuals who…
