Used, Inherited or Saturated Objects

BySusan Chan

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

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

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

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…

Time for Some Bright Ideas

BySusan Chan

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:…

Moving out of a Space, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan

Congratulations! All that hard work has paid off. You found your new space. Time to create that To-Do List – pack boxes, change your address, order a new sofa. But hold on a sec! Before you do any of that, you want to think about what you need to do in your existing space before you close…

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…

Slay Stagnant Energy with a Dragon!

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…

No smoking please

BySusan Chan

It may be a strange thing to be talking about smoke alarms on the eve of Thanksgiving. Or maybe not. When I saw this product in a magazine recently, I was intrigued by its beauty but thought to myself, “Ok, but does it really work?” When I visited the Nest website and watched this video,…
