Feng Shui (风水) translates directly to wind and water. But Master Alex reframes it for modern life as airflow and life support. Across his Golden Nuggets Podcast feature, he cuts through superstition and explains Feng Shui as environmental design rooted in science, data, and centuries of observation.
Feng Shui = Environment + Energy + You
Master Alex breaks it down into three parts:
- Heaven (born traits): Your in-built tendencies—the “default script.”
- Earth (environment): Your space—air, light, layout, and fields.
- Human (choices): Your habits, mindset, and discipline.
When these align, you get better rest, better mood, and better decisions.
What “Energy” Really Means
If “qi” sounds vague, think fields. Just as the moon’s pull moves tides, built environments shape how we function.
- Airflow: don’t sleep with cold air blasting on your head.
- Light: natural light improves rhythm and focus.
- Position: where you sit changes how safe and alert you feel.
Yin–Yang & the Five Elements in Daily Life
- Yin–Yang: Like 0 and 1—balance, not extremes.
- Five Elements: Patterns, not substances.
- Example: “Lack of Fire” isn’t “wear more red.” Fire = passion. Wood = discipline. So, build discipline to sustain passion.
Fortune Telling or Forecasting?
Alex calls it forecasting with big data. It doesn’t dictate outcomes—it prepares you. Like GPS, it warns of jams ahead so you can:
- wait,
- detour, or
- proceed with awareness.
Awareness changes response, and response changes results.
Practical Feng Shui You Can Use
Bedroom
- Solid headboard, avoid window or AC directly at your head.
- No mirrors reflecting the bed.
Workspace
- Sit facing the door, not with your back to it.
- Prioritise lighting that supports focus.
- Keep surfaces clear.
Whole Home
- Ventilation and natural light first.
- Avoid cramped flow paths.
- Match space to purpose: calm for rest, open for social, bright for work.
