We got a couple of Phoenixes in the House

BySusan Chan May 21, 2014

Fast! Run over to St. John the Divine in upper Manhattan to get a glimpse of the amazing work by Chinese artist, Xu Bing. Ok you don’t really have to run. I was just so enthralled by the installation when I saw it that I want everyone to run over there too. Two phoenix sculptures…

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…

Twist and Maybe Shout

BySusan Chan May 7, 2014

Can you use “Spring Clean” as a verb? Well I am because yesterday, I Spring Cleaned my internal body in a yoga class. It’s not as weird as it sounds. In Feng Shui, Spring is about movement and upward energy. This is often the time we choose to detox since it’s following nature’s natural flow of…

Getting Physical: Deep Spring Cleaning

BySusan Chan April 16, 2014

Hopefully last week you were able to welcome in opportunities by sprucing up the front of your home and decluttering your entryway. This week, let’s declutter the physical body and do some internal Spring Cleaning! One way to do this is by doing a Spring Cleanse. Don’t be scared. Cleansing can be as intense or…

Clear Your Path for Opportunities!

BySusan Chan April 9, 2014

I just returned from the beautiful city of New Orleans where they have curbside beauty perfected. I often forget about the charming houses until I am there again, imagining myself sipping lemonade on the veranda. For me, it’s a reminder of how important keeping the front of our homes clear and clean as well as…

Did You Make Space?

BySusan Chan April 3, 2014

Spring Spring Spring! It’s what we all are waiting for. Even me, who unabashedly admitted earlier this season that weather doesn’t affect me. Well after this endless NYC winter, it’s affecting me! In Feng Shui, the Spring season signifies New Beginnings. Think of it like a second chance at New Years! Great things can happen…

Put a Spring in Your Step

BySusan Chan March 12, 2014

There’s no denying that Spring is on the horizon. In NYC, we thought it would never come but our unusual east coast patience is paying off. Beautiful sunny days are squeezed between snow flurries and there’s no ignoring the excitement on everyone’s rush hour faces when it’s still daylight at 6pm. Hooray Daylights Savings Time!…

Who do you Love?

BySusan Chan February 14, 2014

Happy Valentine’s Day! For some, it’s a day that has been long prepared and waited for. For others, it’s a day that can not be over quickly enough. A big reason this holiday is dreaded is a lack of a romantic partner. Yes, that is definitely what Hallmark would like for you to feel. If…

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

BySusan Chan January 31, 2014

Gung Hay Fat Choi! That’s how we say Chinese New Year in my house. Literally translated, it means, “May you be prosperous.” Today is the equivalent to the Western Jan 1st. The difference is that the Chinese follow the lunar calendar as opposed to the Western solar calendar. But the celebrations are all the same….
