Before we began classes at our new Japanese school building in Fukuoka, we asked a shinto priest to come and perform an 御祓 (oharai) spiritual cleansing ceremony. This is often done for buildings, and also for people and things too.
The ceremony took about twenty minutes. Staff stayed to listen, and the effect of the chanting was quite hypnotic – some staff felt a little dizzy partway through!
Video of part of the ceremony is here:
