Space Clearing with Candles
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. 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.
Clearing People and Animals with Candles
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.
Space Clearing with Sea Salt
The negative energy left over from emotional and physical events in a space affects the occupants and should be removed with some form of space clearing. Clear a space when there has been an illness, mental or emotional stress; when moving into a new space; when you need a lift, or a space feels heavy or uncomfortable; and to assist you in meeting personal and professional life goals.
Sea salt is very effective in absorbing negative energy. Use the natural salt without iodine or any other additives. Get together enough cups, bowls or saucers (plastic is good because it’s unbreakable) to place one in each corner of each room. Don’t forget basements, attics and other storage spaces. They can also be placed under desks, beds, and in closets.
Put 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt in each and place them on the floor. If you have pets or young children consider placing them up high for safety reasons. Leave the salt in place for 24 hours, then flush it down the toilet to remove the salt and negative energy from your environment.
If there has been a lot of negative energy in a space repeat this procedure 3 days in a row. To maintain an energetically clean space repeat this procedure once a week or once a month, depending on how much negative energy collects in the space.
