Things You'll Need:

  • Feng shui candles
  • Bagua map
  1. Step 1

    Decide on your cause. The different colors and scents of feng shui candles symbolize different elements in your life. Choose the correct candles to correspond with the part of your life you want to concentrate on. Have a clear idea of your goals and open your mind to the influences.

  2. Step 2

    Be in harmony. The five elements of water, fire, wood, earth and metal need to be in harmony. Do not use one of these to excess because it will destroy the balance and create a destructive cycle.

  3. Step 3

    Use a map. Where you place your candles is every bit as important as which ones you choose. A bagua is an octagonal shaped map that helps you to evaluate the space you are using. Follow the guidelines to place your candles in the area of your house that corresponds most to the life aspect that you are trying to improve.

  4. Step 4

    Accessorize. Candles of any type are romantic and enchanting and can go a long way to creating different moods and atmosphere. Feng shui candles are an obvious way to compliment other feng shui design elements in your home. Use the candles to achieve balance by blending with the different color schemes and accessories that you have around the house.
