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.

Alice says
Hi! I hope you can help me: My husband came home one day with a headache. I took him to Dr he has had MRI, CT scans all test and they cannot seem to find anything wrong with him. He has memory loss confusion, nervousness, sleepwalks does things he does not remember he does. they say he may have Alzheimer’s but I feel that He does not have that disease but has been cursed by an obvious person and a tenant where he worked …we have been happily married for now 45 yrs. It hurts to see in this way can you please help me? Thank you
Tess Whitehurst says
Alice, it is not my sense that he’s cursed, but that he might be having a dissociative fugue, and that he would benefit from treatment by a psychologist (I’d start there rather than with psychiatry). Here’s a description of this condition on Psychology Today’s website: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/conditions/dissociative-fugue-psychogenic-fugue

Hi Tess,
I really appreciate all the help you do with everyone. I have a health issue and my mom has always felt that it’s stemming from someone with ill intent. It’s only in recent years when I’ve been suffering from this health problem as I’ve always been healthy. These issues came out of the blue after my ex and I broke up. I don’t think it’s him who could’ve done this but I do feel it was someone from my past. Please help me
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Mercy! My sense is that you will benefit from performing the Salt Water Cure in this post.
Amanda says
Dear Tess,
for years i have believed I have been cursed. Every time I think my life is getting on the right track, bam new set backs. For examaple, Four weeks ago I got sick with the flu, on the way back my car breaks down, then the next day I get fired from my job. week later I get bronchitis. week after that I cut my hand that requied stitches. day after I got offered a job but can’t work because of the injury to my hand. week after that y t.v. stops working (and it’s fairly new). It’s one thing after another. I know people go through things in life that builds you up to be better and stronger but this has been my whole life. I have never had a “happy life”, just stress and more stress. any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. My family thinks i’m going crazy but I believe it to be true.
Tess Whitehurst says
Amanda, I suggest clearing clutter thoroughly and also clearing your space. My books Magical Housekeeping and The Good Energy Book would be great resources for you right now.

Mary says
I have a sister that uses voodoo to divide family over what I can only imagine would be for inheritance. I used water black salt, a photo, a mirror and some of her handwriting in an attempt to ward off the ill effects that we know that she is causing in our lives. After just twelve hours of having put all the elements together, I noticed this morning that her photo had climbed up the side of the bowl and was beginning to dry. The other items had moved to the back of the photo and are also beginning to rise out of the bowl of salt water. What could this mean?
Tess Whitehurst says
Mary, I’m not quite sure. What is your sense?
Mary says
Hi, thank you so much for getting back to me.
When I woke this morning I felt much lighter and somewhat disconnected from the vitriol. But when I saw the photo rising above the rim of the bowl I was alarmed but yet hopeful. I have little experience with magic and others. I only practice self healing magic.
My sister is and always has been a very negative and vindictive person, and I have always been subjected to her negativity, most of my family has over the years. She uses effigies and dolls to cause problems for folks, even her neighbors, so I need to be careful as to how I try to protect myself. Any assistance you can provide would appreciated.
Mary
