Minimalist Interiors

BySusan Chan January 30, 2012

Decluttering. Minimal. Those are the buzz word going around these days especially around resolution times. Feng Shui involves placing furniture and personal belongings so that energy or Chi can move freely and optimally. I must emphasize though that the person/s using the space must feel their energy is settled, secure and happy within this environment….

I’m so excited that we are the eve of Chinese New Year of the Dragon! It’s always an exciting time.

Prepping for the Dragon

BySusan Chan January 12, 2012

Now that the western New Year has come and gone, it’s time for a second chance – Chinese New Year! This year it arrives earlier than usual on January 23rd. In order to prep for Chinese New Year, Chinese families usually do a huge cleaning, both at home and in finances. This ensures that the…

Intentions 2012

BySusan Chan December 29, 2011

I often pass this store in Chelsea and when I do, I always smile to myself. There is so much truth in that sign. I always want to post about it but always forget but now is the perfect time – New Years. As the 2011 starts to fade away, we are all thinking about…

Looking for Joe?

BySusan Chan November 29, 2011

Gone are the days of the paper “We are happy to serve you” greek coffee cups of NYC. You can definitely still find them in scattered bodegas around town, but they are definitely and sadly, going extinct. I love my occasional cup of Joe and luckily I’m finding that it’s easier and lovelier getting my…

Where do you belong?

BySusan Chan October 12, 2011

Call me crazy, but in my limited free time, I volunteer. That’s right, no bonbons on the sofa for me during half-time. Most people (including my hubby) think I’m crazy because in a city like New York, people can barely find the time to do their laundry and here I am up late at night…volunteering….

Yoga for the Soul

BySusan Chan October 7, 2011

I’m in love with yoga. After an ashtanga yoga class the other day, I marveled at how amazing and strong I felt. Pretty incredible considering a few hours earlier I was feeling in need of a fitness jolt but too tired to pursue it. Luckily I was able to conjure up past images of how…

Last Wednesday a few members of the NY Chapter of the International Feng Shui Guild and I went on a wonderful tour of The Highline. Not only was it an informative and fun tour by our guide Elena, we were able to take advantage of the lovely warm weather that was still with us. I…

Align your Chi with Free Acupuncture!

BySusan Chan July 8, 2011

When I do Feng Shui consultations for clients, I remind them that we are not just moving furniture (sometimes after a 3 hour consultation we haven’t moved anything at all!), but we’re changing the energy of their space and in turn, their body as one’s space and body are intrinsically connected. At the end of…
