Geoffrey Boycott: How I learned to love Feng Shui

My close friend at the time, Russell Homer, had used this particular feng shui master for his home in Jersey, so on his recommendation I got in touch with Master Li. We had previously furnished him with the exact time and dates of birth for Rachael, Emma and myself in order that he could prepare our individual readings before he came.

Master Li explained that there is a health area in every house and we should have a small light on 24 hours a day in that area. He also advised us to put a water feature in the kitchen and he told me in what direction I had to sleep, with the back of my head facing south/south east for the rest of that Chinese year. Apparently you heal as you sleep, so it is important to know where to sleep.

Rachael moved me into a small single bedroom to accommodate this and also the chair in my snug was moved in to a good direction. He added that our health moves in 10-year cycles and mine had started when I was seven years old; he said it was written in my chart that I was going to have health problems from ages 57 to 67.

He also said I would need to celebrate my 70th birthday with a big party, although at the time I was not sure I would make that milestone. However, Rachael says that is when she knew, without doubt, I was going to survive, and that is what kept her going in the terrible times. Deep down she always had this certainty I would live.
