This form of space clearing is used to clear negative energy from entire buildings, even though you may live in or use only a small portion of the building. 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 (see below). The candles can be placed anywhere, either in the building you are clearing or in another building. 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.

A similar ceremony can be performed to clear the energy of the people and animals who live and/or work in the space. They do not actually have to be in the space at the time the ceremony is performed.
Place a tea light candle for each person and animal on a heatproof surface (saucer or candle holder). Make sure each candle is an inch or two from the next and a safe distance away from 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 (name of person or animal), 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.
