I have nasty, nasty neighbors living in the apartment below me, So I am using tiny mirrors and tin-foil under my area rugs to reflect their energy back to them. They consider me to be negative energy to them, andam afraid if they are practicing feng shui too, what happens if they are doingsomething similar, like using mirrors to reflect my energy back to me? Does this cancel it out?

Frankly, a lot of feng shui practises that advise the use of ba gua or mirror against say another neighbour isn't usually friendly application of Feng Shui.

Why do I say that? Simple. If you do that, your neighbours will have no choice but to do the same just to bounce the Negative Sha Qi back. And when they do that, you will have to think of something to counter it back again. So the cycle will be endless. And each enhancement will cancel it out.

Instead of creating a nice environment, it will tend to create conflicts. I find that in such a situation neither person will truly benefit.So the answer to your question is yes. Doing that will simply cancel the effect out eventually.

Sometimes I feel it is better just to be friendly with the neighbour and avoid having such items placed to aggrevate the situation.Sometimes just talking nicely to the neighbour and working out a solution that will benefit both might be better than starting an feng shui war. Afterall, feng shui is about creating harmony.

Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards
