We got a couple of Phoenixes in the House

BySusan Chan

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

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

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…

Slay Stagnant Energy with a Dragon!

BySusan Chan

One issue that people often find in their spaces is this feeling of “stagnant” energy. The chi or energy of the space is not moving and it feels like things are stuck. Ick, definitely not a good feeling. Movement is key! In Feng Shui, one way to remedy this situation is to add lighting. I…

Did You Make Space?

BySusan Chan

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!

Winter Doldrums No More!

BySusan Chan

This has been one looooong winter. I’m not complaining because (please don’t hate me) I’m one of those lucky folks who is not really affected by NY’s crazy weather changes. But one thing that does get me down is hearing people complain about the weather all the time and I mean, all. the. time. When…

Who do you Love?

BySusan Chan

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…

Shaking up Tradition

BySusan Chan

I’m a pretty old fashioned kind of gal. I love traditional rituals but the eccentric in me always loves to throw in a twist or two. It keeps things spicy (and what’s life without a bit of spice?) and I had the opportunity to experiment during my Chinese New Year’s celebrations. I was honored to…

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

BySusan Chan

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….
