Purify yourself of negative energy and empower yourself to move forward in your life with these 5 simple rituals for cleansing, clearing, and unblocking.
If you’re a little under the energetic weather, you want to get someone’s energy out of your field, or you just need to get your energy clear, these rituals can help.
(Also be sure to perform regular meditations like this one and to check out my book, Little Guide to Protection Magic.)
Remember: don’t panic. Never panic. Take a deep breath. Then take another one, and remember that you are the power in your own life. You absolutely have the ability to shift your own energy for the better.
Unblocker #1: The Lemon Cure
For the Lemon Cure, on the morning of a full moon, rise between sunrise and one hour after sunrise. Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle the top of each half with sea salt. Sweep your aura with one half and then the other half (sort of like you’re using an energetic lint brush about 6-12 inches away from your skin) and then place both halves face up on your altar. The next morning, again between sunrise and an hour after sunrise, discard the halves in a yard waste, trash, or compost bin. Then repeat the entire process with a new lemon. Repeat for 12 days straight to break any curse or hex.
Unblocker #2: The Saltwater Cure
If you feel intuitively drawn to the Saltwater Cure, draw a warm or hot bath. Add 1 cup epsom salt, 1 cup sea salt, and 1/4 cup baking soda and dissolve by stirring the water in a counterclockwise direction. Before you enter the water, hold your hands in prayer pose and say, “Divine Spirit, thank you for filling this water with vibrations of healing, purification, and love.” Visualize the water as filled and surrounded with blindingly bright white light. Then get in and soak for at least 40 minutes. Feel and sense that all negative or stuck energy is being broken by being neutralized and dissolved as you soak. And stay hydrated as you soak: be sure to have plenty of drinking water on hand.
Hex or Curse Breaker #3: The Angel Cure
Enlist angels to cleanse and unblock your energy with the Angel Cure. First, obtain a celestite crystal. Cleanse it by placing it in bright sunlight for 5-10 minutes. Hold it in both hands near your heart as you center your mind. Then say:
Archangel Michael, I call on you. Thank you for powerfully clearing and purifying me of any and all stuck or challenging energies. Archangel Haniel, I call on you. Thank you for attuning me to the frequencies of purity, harmony, and peace. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessed be. And so it is.
Keep the crystal with you for one full moon cycle to help dissipate all old or stuck energy completely. Purify it in the light of the sun every few days.
Unblocker #4: The Selenite and White Sage Cure
Selenite crystals and white sage are both powerful detoxifiers and can help clear old energetic patterns or vibrational debris related to personal or generational challenges. Using a selenite wand, sweep your energy field downward and outward, about 6-12 inches away from your skin. Then light a sage bundle so that it’s smoking like incense and thoroughly bathe your aura in the smoke by waving the sage around the around the outside of your body, again 6-12 inches away from your skin. Be very careful to catch any burning embers with a dish or a plate. Then safely extinguish the sage by sealing it in a jar.
Unblocker #5: The Rose Overdose Cure
Roses can help cleanse and unblock your energy because they have among the highest and purest vibrations of any living thing. For the Rose Overdose cure, draw a warm bath. Add 1/4 cup rose water and the petals from 12 white roses. Soak for at least 40 minutes. After you dry off, put 4 drops of rose flower essence under your tongue. (Please note that flower essences are very different than essential oils, as they are safe to take internally. In case you’re not familiar with the difference, here is an example of a rose flower essence.) Put another 4 drops under your tongue just before bed. Every day for the next 28 days, take 2 drops of rose flower essence under your tongue every morning upon waking and every evening just before going to sleep.
Not Sure Which One(s) to Choose?
Cut 5 small, equally-sized squares of paper. Now you’re going to draw simple representations of each cure. (Don’t worry if you’re not an artist – as long as you can recognize it, it’s fine.) On one, draw a lemon. On another, draw a simple wave to represent water. On the next, draw angel wings. The final two will be a leaf (to represent sage) and a rose.
Put them in a hat. Say a prayer for guidance, asking the Divine to show you which cure will most effectively unblock your energy. Without looking, use one hand to mix them around, and draw one.
Then, flip a shiny penny to see if it will be helpful for you to do an additional cure. If it’s heads, the answer is yes. If it’s tails, no. Choose up to three this way.
If you happen to choose any combination of the lemon, rose, and angel cures, do them in tandem: don’t wait a month and then start the next.
If you happen to choose both the saltwater and the rose, do the saltwater bath first. Then wait a full 24 hours before beginning the rose cure.
The selenite and white sage cure can be performed before (and on the same day as) any other cure.
Keep Calm and Stay Strong.
To bolster your energetic immunity in order to support the full release of the old energy, make sure to eat lots of healthy food, drink lots of water, and get plenty of sleep. And, as I mentioned above, it’s also a good idea to keep your energy clear and shielded with a meditation like this one.
And for lasting, holistic energetic well-being, I highly recommend reading my book, Little Guide to Protection Magic.
And remember: don’t panic! You’re going to be fine. You’ve got this.

Hi Tess
Ive been suffering with depression from a very early age which I managed to hide from everyone all my life. As a child I remember always feeling different to others around me, more like an old woman stuck in a child’s body. I had a carefree childhood until the age of seven, when my parents migrated to the states with the rest of my siblings. Everything changed for me from that day. I had repeated nightmares of been pushed of a cliff and heavy rocks crushing me to the ground. The next one was seeing me as a woman in my thirties with long hair and white long dress been placed on a bed and burned alive. I never told my parents of these dreams but remember waking up in sweat most of the time. As a teenager I was very depressed and kept away from the rest of my family, which later in life told me that I looked like I was always spaced out. My older brother was always picking on me telling me that I lived in fairy land waiting for Prince Charming to rescue me from the rest of the family. My older sister was always jealous of me but when I started becoming a woman it got worse. She was very competitive as I was taller and she felt that cuz of my looks all will go smoothly for me in life. She married but separated before I turned 20, and even though I tried to be close to her she was always nasty with me. At the same time one of my brothers met a girl that was in a cult, practicing black magic, got him into drugs and all went downhill for my family. My father brought a physic around the house who told us that we have been cursed by many people, and handed out a few thousand dollars to her but nothing came out of it. After a few years of misery my brother lost his mind and has never been the same again. He was diagnosed with scitsofrenia and has been on medication ever since. As for me I was raped by the first man that came close to me, and had many other man after that tried to harm me either sexually or by witch craft. A series of bad things were happening to me one after the other, I was so depressed I remember that I was going around wearing black, and many called me a witch. At the age of 25 I married a man that was possessive, and belittled me constantly, I to had two kids with him and spend 16 years in depression. When I finally found the strength to leave him, he turned my kids against me, and with no help from my family I he finally took them off me. He cursed me and said that nothing will ever go right in my life and I will regret making this decision. Before leaving my homeland a woman that pretended to be my friend took me to a friend of hers and told me that she can do a card reading for me as she knew the tarot. She told me that I will suffer, and all she could see is my luck changing after 50. My mom also confided in me at that time telling me that when she was young some gypsy fortune teller told her that her life will be nothing but pain, and someone had put a spell on us, for her girls never to find happiness in marriage and her boys never to have any success in work or in life.
But even though I suffered so much I always try to stay positive, help friends and family in every opportunity I get, I don’t hold any grudges to the people that hurt me in the past and believe in the goodness in life. People that get to know me a bit always say that I have something about me, an internal strength and a lot of kindness. Men on the other hand that I met tell me that I’m a white witch and they feel that I put a spell on them. And it seams that the more I give the more I make them feel less worthy and leave me feeling that I hurt them. I just don’t get it.!
I meditate, I read a lot about positive energy, I like natural healing, I use a lot of essential oils, I’m not religious but believe in the power of the universal law, never wished bad upon anyone but still attract negative people that I try to help but leave me feeling drained. And now I’m starting to believe that I might be cursed, maybe even from another life. I met a man that came into my life out of the blue two months ago, I tried to help him, but started feeling sick every time I saw him. Within a couple of weeks I had strong pains in my abdomen, I took up smoking, I couldn’t eat, I fell into depression and lost my job. When I tried to cut him off, he went crazy, cursing me, he said he will make sure that I will not be alone and he will put a spell on me and I will rot away and die in a year. I told my family about this, they told me that they have put a priest to pray for me but I don’t see any difference.
I need your help with this Tess as my whole life is falling apart again, and I don’t know what else to do.

Jamie, I’m really sorry to hear about all of this. My friend Valerie Elster does amazing readings and clearings over the phone. I have the sense that this would be very positive for you. You can find her contact info at valerieelster.com.
Jamie says
Hi Tess
Thank you for your reply. I’m a little skeptic when it comes to readings as my family had them in the past. To be honest I thought that one of your cures might help me. I did the whole procedure with drawing the cures and placing them in the hat. It came out as the selenite and white sage, and the rose cure where right for me, but wanted your advice on this. Do you sense that they will not help me?
Thank you
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Jamie! From your message I thought you were requesting something extra. I must have misunderstood. Sure, those cures both sound great, I’d go with whichever one your intuition guides you to more. You could also do both if you like.
Jamie says
Hi Tess
Yes I was, and you guided me to the right direction, I didn’t realize it at first but you did and I want to thank you for that.
I was looking for the higher truth and through your response I came across a book written by Akemi G. It’s called “Why we are born: Remembering our purpose through the akhasic records”
Thank you so much Tess
God bless

Hello Tess,
I’d just like to say firstly how much I appreciate such a wonderful article, with such wonderful words of wisdom and helpful information.
A very powerful friend of mine told me that back in 1999 is then I should have began to have my spiritual awakening at just age 12 as one of the first wave energy workers. I was shown by god with past thoughts that this was in fact true. This was when I started high school and from what I remember at that exact time I became very depressed. My mother put it down to `Stroppy teenage phase` I became very depressed and anxious because my head was blocking the awakening process.
I have something called dyspraxia as well as very sever cognitive damage from a very traumatic birth.
I basically have left side brain damage. A pretty big mind-set combo indeed haha. It has caused a lot of pain to me in my life, however this isn’t a sob story or anything I just need to explain everything so that I can get the best advice for which method to use.
So after that depressing time I hit a point of awakening 17 years later during the 2016 wave, I was pushed into waking.
However my mind still caused a lot of issues and I had trouble hitting flow. I had many light workers watching me over Facebook and many who are spiritual. I was doing a lot of guitar and singing videos at the time. On Christmas eve I had my kundali awakening on a Facebook guitar singing video in front of a big Facebook audience.
About may time 2016 I had a spiritual reading and I was told that theirs something I must absolutely not do as it will maybe result in me ending my own life! I was warned by this reader that a lady with blonde hair blue eyes is seen pointing at a picture of me and cursing me in the near future.
I ignored what she said but it remained in the back of my mind due to being a bit of a worrier/over thinker. I didn’t have focus on this women attacking me or anything but it just remained slightly in the back.
Any way during the time of my Facebook popularity and doing those guitar videos and singing a women called Stefanie blonde hair blue eyes was interacting with almost every post I had put out on Facebook.
I was trying to get to know her at the time as I thought she was a very sophisticated genuine women, but I wasn’t fully awake so I was blind to see the truth.
Any way around 2 months later after my kunduli experience I suddenly felt my energy field off balance and I lost a state of flow.
I went straight into my mind and went full force ego to the point of being taken over by entities is what it felt like,
I had no focus on them and I said to my self just forget it ignore them. It made me completely leave facebook and during the time of leaving facebook I remember about that reading I had. I felt sick to my stomach, reactivating facebook to block her, to then finding out she has several accounts some named things like great powers etc.
I felt sick to my stomach I can tell you this now. Any way this thing seemed to take over my whole life, going back off facebook and then going through a time of losing 2 jobs, and even my twin flame relationship. Completely gone all down the pan.
I had a huge following over facebook, and I had the door slammed on my face to the point where I hit 0 self esteem within my self, lost confidence, lost my hair almost, lost the love of my life and 2 jobs.
When I was at work it always seemed like id try really hard to stay positive and be happy and id be doing really well but then it would be like one problem after another would come my way, the manager would only seem to notice me when I was on my phone or something or going to the toilet, which stood out as slacking to them as they never saw my hard graft.
I had people coming to bully me just like I had before my awakening, it was like I was going back down hill again to square one.
This happened with two jobs in a row.
With the twin flame she and I had an amazing 3 weeks together until other women started getting involved saying how they liked me and wanted me, INFRONT OF HER FACE! NOT NORMAL!!!
I have never seen dark forces work so hard like this in my life. This drove her out of my life by her thinking I was going to cheat or something when I genuinely was about to declare my love for her, this happened the same evening.
A year has gone by, and I have lost my confidence in getting back on Facebook to help others, I have lost my confidence in jobs and relationships.
I know everything happens for a reason, and part of me believes that this wasn’t meant to happen but part of me believes that it was meant to make me learn and experience `Failure` I am still currently in my mind now, but I have shifted a lot so that I can now think straight again to some degree.
I am very up and down emotionally and the past seems to be a constant thing which comes into my mind.
Ill have anger out of no where, ill take offense to things ill get angry and bitter but ill keep the anger under control and inside, ill vent it off in my own ways.
I was always such a loving boy and my family has said how I’m now gone I’m not me any more.
I do class this as murder as you can tell just thinking and talking about it after a while brings up hate for this women, I had tried to give her love by cutting chords etc.
But in a way she has destroyed what took me along time to build.
However all I want now is my life back and to get flow again so I can rebuild.
What happened must of happened for a reason as I said and this women is obviously quite sick and hates her self to of done this.
Part of me is still deciding weather or not to leave the earth through suicide or not, I am now seeking out a therapist because of it, being in mind through retrograde 2017 and no flow, it kind of destroyed me in many ways.
But here I am wanting to fight back and return, but as I said part of me is drained to the eye balls. Like having a long nights sleep and waking up with little energy and bags under the eyes, whist having a 50bpm and good blood pressure and health in every other way, and a feeling of deep self devine love within but yet an ego mind over the top of it all without flow with stress and anxiety inside, which also blocks astral projection as well as seeing things behind my eyes.
Being persuaded by some sort of black magic or hex entity which is constantly telling me to do 3d things when I am very spiritually evolved yet I am here as human still.
As I say this had to happen I am sure of it, if not if it was a mistake in life’s tapestry for me then what is, is.
I have no choice but to rebuild my life some how now, I was always so positive, the dyspraxia part of my mind was the negative but it was never this bad.
For along time I was shouting to god saying just take me away, I’ve been to the darkest corner as well as wanting to get revenge on this women but I know that isn’t the answer, however I still think its murder if it destroys a part of you then it is. I also had addiction to spending and I burrowed 12 thousand pounds from family which is being paid back, but that’s what happened with being hit by this curse.
As I say I just want a state of flow back so I can get into that motion then once I do I can properly forgive and move on as I don’t want to die.
Sorry for the long essay haha and sorry if I sounded angry and this isn’t a sob story or anything I just wanted you to see if you can help me with this?
Many thanks.

Sk says
On the night of Jan 31st to feb 1, 2018. The blood moon, I had an awful sleep paralysis dream. Where my roommate appeared as this evil energy, and started chanting incantations before I finally woke up from the paralysis screaming. Since then things have been going poorly, and I know it’s only been less than a month since, but I feel as though there is a negative energy that persists around me, as if this isn’t the first time this energy has been around me. It’s just the first time I have witnessed it- though in a dream. I’ve looked at my natal charts and done a lot of astrological research to see if the string of odd events happening recently might be related but something is still so off putting and I can’t seem to take this dream out of my head. Not sure what to do.
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi there Sk! I suggest the Angel Cure from this post. You can keep the crystal near you when you sleep to protect you in your dreams as well.

ashley arellano says
Hello my name is ashley, my grandmother was cursed by a witch because she was in love with my grandpa but he didnt love her at all and things got heated. So she cursed my grandma with a badluck spell that has to do with never having enough money etc. My mother thinks the curse is going away slowly because the curse affected my mom too but not as bad as with my grandmother. What uplifting/protection spell should I do?
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Ashley! I recommend the Selenite & White Sage cure.
