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….

Start your new year off right

BySusan Chan December 12, 2014

Did you know that each year is ruled by a particular animal in Chinese Astrology? Each of these animals has the ability to catapult you towards abundance and success if you know how to utilize them. Sometimes known as the Ram or Sheep, the Year of the Wood Goat is gearing up to be very special. Even though Chinese New Year…

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?

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.

Double Your Personal Success With Mirrors

BySusan Chan November 5, 2014

So here’s the thing you need to know about mirrors. Mirrors are a BIG DEAL. Compared to what aspirin is to doctors, in Feng Shui, mirrors are sometimes considered the cure-all used as simple remedies for many things. But it’s much more profound than that.
The mirrors in your home are a mirror of your life. Let that sit with you a minute.

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….

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…

Finding the Comfort in Discomfort

BySusan Chan September 10, 2014

Folks, the Summer is coming to an end. The Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere falls on September 23rd and many people find the seasonal shift from warm to cooler weather to be very challenging. Days are shorter, flowers and trees lose their colorful vibrancy and you need to start piling on more layers. This change of season is…
