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,
About a month ago I drove my daughter to the credit union at night. We parked our car in the parking lot. As we were walking toward my car, I saw a man skulking around my car. As he saw us coming he started walking away from my car and passed us by. I was feeling angry and we made eye contact that I kept staring him down until he completely passed us by. Then he opened the lift gate of his car, sat down and poured himself a drink from a coffee type flask. I then drove away with my daughter. A few days later I took my car to the car wash and there were some spots that had a substance that would not come off even with solvent. Since then, I closed the car door on my finger and broke it so badly I had to have surgery to fix it. I am currently not working as a result. I feel like he hexed me. I don’t know the guy, I feel it was random. What do you suggest I do?
Hi Alicia – I suggest the Selenite & White Sage Cure.
Thank you!
Hi Tess,
My life is falling apart in the strangest way. Every apartment that I move into, something happens within a few months were I have to move out. I’ve literally had to move out of a new unit every 6 months for the past 2 years. I’m moving constantly and its exhausting. Additionally, I keep losing jobs. Around the time that I lose my apartment, I also lose a job. I have been switching jobs every year now. It’s always because of one person in the office who doesn’t like me (and everyone else likes me) and they get me fired. The third thing is that my romantic relationships keep falling apart every few months. Every few months I meet a sweet and loving partner who is ready to marry me then out of no where, they are angry and explosive and everything ends. Each job and partner has come back saying that they don’t even know why they were so mad at me. My ex partners seem to be confused about why they got so angry with me and why the relationships ended. And my former employers all seemed to be confused about exactly why I was fired. These events started to make me think that I am dealing with a curse. There is no way in the world that people could all the sudden turn on me and not have any real memory about why it happened or how they overreacted. All of this constant turnover has taken a horrible toll on my self esteem and energy levels. I feel depleted, exhausted, and I feel like a complete zombie just going through the motions. I swear I am a nice person with a beautiful spirit who treats everyone with kindness. My closest friends seem to be equally as confused about why I keep having so many problems. My mother also seems to have had similar problems her whole life. Please help me find the answers to break this cycle. It’s so bad and I’m crying because it just won’t stop! I feel like I’m losing the will to live!
Hmm. Have you been feeling drawn to move somewhere new? If you’ve been wanting to move and ignoring that desire, you could be unconsciously manifesting these challenges because your soul wants to flourish in a different location.
Hi Tess,
I think me and my family including my sister and her family are cursed.
Our mum passed away January 2017 from cancer. My mum was an angel and a very special women that looked after all of us. I think (but don’t know) it’s my brother’s new wife who has put the curse on us. We had a sort of fall out or disagreement not long after mum passed with regard to our inherited property (greedy people in this world !) And everything started falling apart after that. My brothers wife is into spirituality and says she talks to people that have passed and I don’t know what she is telling my brother !! So many things go wrong – every single day. It is very draining. Even my 15 year old daughter says everyday that she is cursed – which worries me now that my kids think this. And now my husband (who never really believed this) thinks we are cursed. What can we do ? I just wish I could talk to my mum. Thank you for help.
Caroline, I suggest that you create an altar to your mom in your house. Just a framed picture of her, a candle, and anything else you’d like to add that reminds you of her, or that she enjoyed during life (such as foods, flowers, or beverages). Keep it fresh, tend to it often, and ask your mom for help. You can still connect with her and she can still look after you. I have a feeling this will create more clarity for you and help turn things around.
Hi Tess!
Thank you so much for this column and for answering our questions. I’m not sure where my hex might come from, but it might be this:
About six years ago, my then music teacher and his wife went through a rough patch. He cheated on her and she thought it must have been with one of his students. It wasn’t me, but she confronted me and said she wished I would one day experience her pain. Since then, things haven’t worked out for me, relationships, jobs, even my music career. I’ve had cleansings done professionally but haven’t felt much of a change.
Which of these spells do you recommend?
Hi Marie! I suggest the Selenite & White Sage Cure.
Thank you!

Joce, I’m so sorry for all your losses. It does not seem to me that this is a curse. Rather than focusing on breaking curses, I would focus on finding a good grief counselor (if you haven’t already). Additionally, to help lighten and shift energy, I suggest clearing the space in your home and doing a cleansing/shielding meditation daily. These two blog posts may help: https://tesswhitehurst.com/how-to-clear-the-energy-in-your-home-in-5-simple-steps/ and https://tesswhitehurst.com/quick-thorough-aura-cleansing-meditation/.
