Perform this energy clearing ceremony only when there are no young children or pets awake in the house. Please use all appropriate safety precautions when burning candles.
Place a 9 tea light candles on a heatproof surface (saucer or candle holder) in three rows of three, one to represent each Gua of the Bagua Map*. The candles can be placed anywhere, either in the space you are clearing or in another space. Make sure each candle is a safe distance from the others and any flammable objects. Light each candle while speaking aloud or to yourself an appropriate version of this intention:
“My intention for the burning of this candle is to release and remove all non-beneficial energy from the (name of gua such as Health & Prosperity) of the building (identify the building – where I live, where I work, etc.), and to replace it with beneficial and uplifting energy.”
Let the candles burn until they go out, if possible. Check them regularly during this time to insure that they are burning safely.
*The Bagua Map consists of 9 sections, each called a gua. This is an important Feng Shui tool that is used in many ways. In this case it is just being used as a template for the space clearing. The 9 guas are: Wealth & Prosperity, Fame & Reputation, Love & Marriage, Health & Family, Center, Creativity & Children, Knowledge & Self-Cultivation, Career, and Helpful People & Travel.
