PROBLEM NEIGHBOURS

Wishing for peace and harmony? Annoying neighbours can test even the most patient of people, but rather than using ‘bagua mirrors’ – which can amplify problems – why not try these remedies?

Planting a fast-growing hedge can be helpful if space allows, but in the meantime, try placing a bowl of water in a room near your problem neighbours. Add floating flowers if you like (fake are fine), along with a central candle, and light it regularly – or simply fill a black vase with fresh water.

Alternatively, spin the negative energy away with a colourful garden whirligig or break up the bad vibes with a melodic wind chime or bells.

Placing a selenite or tourmaline crystal on the closest windowsill might also prove helpful, along with the soothing scent of lavender, sandalwood or white sage. Sometimes, a gentle approach is the best!
