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.

Krissy says
Hey Tess! My mom and I think we have a curse on us and our family. We are not sure if it is a family curse that goes back generations or if it was put on us. My mom has a pendulum and it has confirmed that we have multiple people that have placed hexes/ curses on us. We researched how to get rid of these curses and we did find a mirror spell but we do not want to bring any harm to anybody, we just want to remove the curses that are on us. We have had bad luck for many many years now. We really appreciate all of your help! Thank you so much – Krissy
Tess Whitehurst says
Krissy, do you and your mom have any clutter you can clear? From anywhere? Storage, car, work, attic, etc? I would start there. Once all your clutter is cleared, come back and let me know how you’re doing.
Krissy says
Yes we do! thank you and thank you for the fast response. This is something we are deff going to do. May I ask, what are the benifets of declutting? Can that leave certain unwanted energies? Thank you- Krissy
Tess Whitehurst says
Hi Krissy! Yes, decluttering helps EVERYTHING flow in your life. It creates more clarity, energy, and positivity. It is the very best thing you can do energetically and always square one when it comes to turning things around for the better. When you get rid of stuck energy in the form of physical objects, stuck energy in your life dissolves away as well.
Krissy says
Great thank you again! I will let you know how it goes!
hellokitty says
i just saw this post. too much has happened in my life to explain why i think im cursed but also part of it was the house i grew up in that was supposedly built on an indian burial ground (i found out a year ago). can i just go down the list trying these curse breakers or is that not a good idea?
Tess Whitehurst says
I think that sounds like a fine idea. Just wait at least a week between each one.
Pam says
Hey Tessa,
I can’t seem to catch a break in my life! Love life or just my life in general. My mom always had a thing for voodoo/rootwork and we always had a good relationship but now living in the same house we barely speak and she steadying burning things in the house she’s gotten from a root dr it hasn’t been my thing but I was also dealing with a guy for 2-3 yrs from New Orleans and when I decide to break things off that’s when all hell broke lose. I was got sick unexpectly(which I NEVER got sick) went to have a procedure done and the dr punctured my lung which the procedure was suppose to have me out of work for 3-4 weeks I was out 9 months he always told me I had a case to sue for medical malpractice which no lawyer would touch my case. I stop trying and focused on getting myself together. Of course I lost my job had to move back home with my son. Now I’m still dealing with the issue of the sickness but not as bad as it was but I can’t catch a break! Can’t find a place for me and my son, I am working but I’m not happy in my love life or in general I have cut the guy off completely but he still want to be with me but I don’t want him. Every time i try to get a place to stay it’s always a problem when I try to be in a relationship it fails! This one guy i was dealing with for 2 yrs we had a big falling out and that’s not like us. We are not even taking to this day! We went from he telling me he loves me and vice versa to not even talking! I just need some help bad!
Tess Whitehurst says
Pam, I suggest working with the angels and doing #3 from this post.

Hello Tess,
Several years ago I reunited with an old high school boyfriend. He was estranged from his wife and getting a divorce and he reached out to me. We weren’t a couple as his divorce was not final but things did cross a line. I ended things completely when she started to threaten my life. Though I believed the threats to be empty ones I just didn’t want that kind of drama in my life. She comes from a rich powerful family who is known for making people disappear and using magic. I consider myself a strong and good person and didn’t want to buy into the idea that she or her mother could curse me. But as time passes things have become more and more difficult for me. My health, finances and relationships have all been affected. I keep telling myself its just life but some really strange things have also happened that don’t make sense to me. For example, two of my teeth falling out…My hands becoming very arthritic out of no where and my vision declining rapidly. One of my well known hobbies is something creative I do and attacking my hands and vision squashes that. Also a year after I broke things off with the old boyfriend, I met a man who up to now, was the love of my life. We were together for three years and I thought we were happy and moving towards marriage. One day it was as if a switch was flipped. Where he was once loving and kind. he became cold and harsh. I gave him some space and within three weeks he had met some one else and never even broke up with me or told me about her. I found out on social media. That was almost three years ago and I’ve been single since. I’m not the most beautiful woman but I’m far from ugly and yet I am alone. The woman my love left me for doesn’t seem any better than I am( I don’t want to be unkind but from the outside looking in, she seems like a homely, lesser quality me!) …yet they are still together and he seemingly treats her better than he did me. . .I try to not lose hope, I try to keep my head high. I keep praying and asking the angles to help but things take two steps forward and three steps back….I’m tired, stressed and afraid that ill have a stroke or heart attack and leave my kids too soon. They still need me. …Tess, am I cursed? Or just living a hard life and delusional that I deserve better?
Tess Whitehurst says
Lizzie, it sounds to me like you may be cursed. Don’t worry, though: you can purify yourself of this energy. I suggest the selenite & white sage cure from this post.
Lizzie says
Tess thank you for answering me last year…I tried what you suggested…things seemed to get a little better but then rapidly worse. I’m small framed and never had a weight problem but I’ve gained 20lb in one year without changing anything. I have pain throughout my body and my dark hair that had just a few grey hairs now is predominantly white. All in about a year…but the worst is, my family who I always thought of as close have turned their back on me I truly dont know why. Friends are non existent now. I was seriously suicidal at one point and this actually drove my family even further away. The only thing that kept me from going forward with it is my love for my kids. And paradoxically this pandemic has shown me that I truly dont want to die, I’m only exhausted from the emotional and physical pain…am I still cursed or is something else going on? Please help if you can.
Tess Whitehurst says
Lizzie, now I’m sensing intense stress but not a curse so much. Are you able to hire an online therapist? Like maybe from betterhelp.com or talkspace?
Priscilla says
Hello,
I believe my ex-boyfriend’s family may have been cursed many years ago. There is a darkness that has been present since I’ve known them – and their family has encountered much darkness externally and internally, from external circumstances to changes in behaviour and demeanor from a specific point (as noticed by particular family members). What should I do to remove their curse – specifically without them knowing (they are a Christian family and would not approve of such methods).
Thank you.
Tess Whitehurst says
Priscilla, when you want to help people energetically, it’s often a good idea to request Divine assistance with cleansing and shielding their auras with golden white light. You can do this for any family members you’d like to help every day as part of your daily meditation.
