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,
I have been in a relationship for 2 years. A year ago my partner and I have gone to his home land to introduce me to his family. He desperately needed their approval. Unfortunately they didn’t approve as I am not “one” of them. The minute we have returned to our home where we moved in together everything has changed and he has become distant. A week ago he has moved out and broken up with me. He says he loves me but we can never be together. I feel his mother has cursed our relationship before we left his country.
Hi there! I don’t think this is a curse but rather a heartbreaking situation. While there is no guarantee that he will change his mind, I suggest spell #2 from this post: https://tesswhitehurst.com/5-karma-friendly-alternatives-to-putting-a-love-spell-on-someone/
Several years ago I placed a curse of inconvenience on my house after it was broken into for anyone else who stole from me. I sealed it with a Navajo turtle rattle and put pentagram (upright) decals on both doors. I’m not sure this is related but I have had a great deal of annoying luck. Can such a curse wash back on me who cast it? I have since removed the decals and instead Blessed the house in that anyone who broke in would see a change in their lives for the good and not need to continue harming others. I have not noticed a difference, if anything an increase in annoyances. I live i a different city now but still own the house. I am planning to return with the turtle rattle and smudge cleanse the house with sage and rosemary. Again, I’m not sure one has anything to do with the other. I’d love your opinion. I’m tired of changing light bulbs and picking up stuff that falls on the floor over and over again.
Sean, how are you with clutter? Do you have any that could be cleared?
Hi Tess. Thanks for answering. Clutter is a major point in my life. After my wife and I split up nearly 20 years ago I ended up with a lot of her stuff, her sister’s, my two deceased parents and mine. For instance, I think I have as many as 10 family Bibles that I have “inherited”. More or less, I am the last of my familial line so everything has ended up with me. I moved from Durham to Charlotte 2 1/2 years ago to help look after my girl friend’s 94-year-old father who passed away soon after and our house here is filled with boxes and garbage bags full of his stuff and her mother’s who passed way 15 years ago. Clutter is my middle name. I know a lot of stuff probably falls to the floor because I can’t find a flat spot to set it. We plan to sell everything (plus both houses) and move (maybe to the Savannah area). The inconveniences I am facing seemed to start long after the first “cluttering” and long before the second. We are trying to get rid of as much as we can but I also collect vinyl albums, books and Grateful Dead memorabilia. I don’t mean to sound flippant, but can you be more specific as where to start uncluttering? 🙂 BTW, the stuff I have brought with me from Durham to Charlotte only the stuff I find most important, a little at the time. Thank you again for your time and I am enjoying reading your stuff.
Sean, you don’t sound flippant! In fact, I’ve written a blog post on just that subject: https://tesswhitehurst.com/get-rid-of-that-huge-pile-of-clutter-once-and-for-all-3-places-to-start/
Hi Tess, I was wondering if lavender Epsom Salt was acceptable for the water ritual or if that would throw off the mix?
Hi there! Yes, that will work.
Dear Tess,
I have been feeling like my older sister has put a curse on my young son. It all dates back to when I was pregnant and the first thing she said was`Talk to my friend, she had a stillbirth`. The reason I am feeling that now is because my son has been having behavioural issues in his elementary school. He runs out of class whenever he feels like, won`t participate in group activities like preparing for a sports day event, won`t change into his sports uniform, takes his time putting his backpack away etc. He has lots of friends in the school and gets along with kids from all levels. My older sister has been trying to cause trouble for my husband and me constantly and even tried to undermine my son by labelling him autistic in front of family friends and when he got answers right in some reading comp activity she was deliberately trying to convince him his answer was wrong when it was right. My family and I moved overseas in an effort to be rid of my sister, but we know that she is saying lies and saying nasty things behind our backs still. Thank you for reading this!
Lisa, this doesn’t sound or feel like a curse, but more like an annoying way to act. I suggest that you set some healthy boundaries with your sister in any way that feels appropriate. (i.e. have a talk with her, limit your time with her, and/or stop hanging out with her.)
Thank you for your insight.
Hi Tess,
I am pretty sure someone is trying to take me down financially, everything i do to win more business at work isn’t successful, every deal i do falls through it feels like someone has this business in a strangle hold and is squeezing the life out of it. I have an idea where this is coming from but i struggle to believe that this person hates me enough to do this (for no real reason i actually support their business and buy from them regularly) , i have done the salt water cure and the angel cure and felt no change. I did the prosperity spell 2 months ago and it felt good felt like it worked but my finances have actually gotten worse since. I’m kinda stuck on what to do next? Any suggestions on what l can do to clear this?
Jules, do you have any clutter in your home, car, workspace, or anywhere else? If so, I’d clear it. It can hold challenges in place like nothing else.
