Saying Goodbye

BySusan Chan December 9, 2015

I was standing at the edge of this cliff, wondering if I would jump. It happened at the Azure window (the Blue window), which is on the island of Gozo, right off the beautiful island of Malta. Many people have jumped illegally from this location (disclaimer: I am NOT promoting this behavior but ONLY using…

3 surprising ways you can celebrate death, the end of a cycle, or letting go, in your life and home.

Waking Up Can Feel So Bad, Yet SO Good

BySusan Chan October 14, 2015

Mid-Life Crisis. Healing Crisis. Sacred Shift. Call it what you will, but whatever you call it, believe me, it’s powerful, ahem, stuff. I recently experienced it. Like big time. And I’d like to tell you about it. Don’t worry, it all gets related back to Feng Shui. But honestly, what in life doesn’t? As a…

Get Some this Summer!

BySusan Chan July 8, 2015

Summertime… It’s hot and muggy in NYC and it’s the perfect time to crank up the heat. Why now? Because in Feng Shui, the Summer season represents Fame and Reputation. In laymen’s terms, this means that you can easily power up the area of your home that supports the things you want to be seen…

Come out, come out, wherever you are

BySusan Chan June 10, 2015

Last week, I took part in two fun activities that were polar opposites of each other. Or so I thought. I roamed through the Rubin Museum’s beautiful mask exhibit and was quietly and profoundly moved. Later that day, I went to a Meetup where I tried an exhilarating improv class for the first time. These two activities…

Clearing out that “stuff” that clogs your external and internal world will allow fresher and better things into your life. And who doesn’t want that? Watch my video below for…

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?

Just Say No To Holiday Stress & Anxiety

BySusan Chan November 19, 2014

Did anyone get the memo that November is almost over? Like clockwork, this time of year brings with it a feeling that life is forging full speed ahead. No holds barred. Life on fast forward without a pause button. Next thing you know, you’re thinking about the holidays which inevitably leads to end of the year and the millions of things you’ve still got to do. Pick your poison: holidays, gift buying, pressure to wrap up end-of-year projects, new year new you, accomplishments (or lack of) are all perfect ingredients for emotional rollercoasters.

Oh Sunlight, Where Art Thou?

BySusan Chan October 1, 2014

Some of you are beginning to get a bit freaked out that the sun is starting to set at 7:30pm.No more summer cocktails on the patio or fresh-air activities with the kids after work. This darkness makes us want to make a beeline to our caves (a.k.a beautifully Feng Shui-ed homes).I actually didn’t even pay any attention to this seasonal…
