The first home I ever bought was a mistake. I knew it from the minute we arrived as first-time homeowners with hundreds of bags and boxes piled in the street behind us. On paper, the flat in Southeast London was just what my husband and I wanted: two bedrooms, high ceilings and a large garden.

One winter evening, when I was home alone, a standing lamp in the corner of the living room suddenly started to shudder violently, shaking and ringing like a bell. My husband raised an eyebrow when I told him; friends offered up the bus route on our road as an explanation. It didn’t feel like a haunting, just a physical manifestation of the gloom that had settled in our rooms.

Today, spiritualism has transcended into a valued tool for when the smart set is looking to boost energy levels, reduce anxiety and overcome an inevitable lockdown slump. Gabriella Wilde exhales her daily difficulties with breathwork, Julie Montagu practises Mindful Crafting at Mapperton and Viscountess Cowdray wears her twinkling diamond meditator pendant as a positive anchor.
