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.

Tess,
From the time I was a child the strangest things have happened to me usually just random but unlucky, I know that there had to have been a family curse, but I try to not feed into it to combat any extra misfortune. I am a very positive person. I consistently sage myself I keep positive energy crystals, and I meditate every night. I am educated and have a great job. I work hard and never let things get me down, but with all of the positivity I feel like I have to work harder than everyone else and after all of the positivity, unlucky things still happen often. (usually at the best time) so I know that all of my hard work is helping.
Is there a way to break the cycle of the misfortune, so that all of the positivity is not just balancing out bad luck, but turning all of this to good luck? Or have I done everything I can?
Thank you
Hi Dustin! I’m getting that the selenite will be helpful. Maybe add that to your sage smudging rituals. For some reason, that’s all I’m getting for you right now, so maybe start there with the Selenite and White Sage Cure.
Hi Tess, my life has been extremely difficult for the past few years and it feels like there’s been a blockage of happiness no matter what I do. My job, my relationship, my family, my friends.. all of it seems to be hitting dead ends. I don’t know what to do anymore. Can you help me please?
Mia, it sounds like you might have clutter you could clear. Do you?
Thanks for getting back. I wish it were simpler to pinpoint! They all seem fairly unrelated yet seem to fall out no matter what I try. I didn’t think it was worth mentioning at first, but my dad was cursed by his ex-wife after marrying my mom and they found his photo ripped in pieces with a handmade doll with pins at our garden bin. They reassured me that they had it cleansed a long time ago as soon as they saw, but I was wondering if that could have carried on to me maybe? I don’t know if this information would help, but i’m the only child from my mom.
Hi Tess,
I hope this won’t be long winded. I know that my father was cursed/hexed a long time ago by an employee of the family’s business. This was in Germany. My sister Diane (who has since passed away last year) investigated this through spiritual channels. The curse was no boys as children to carry on the line and no marriages for the girls. I am 1 of 3 children to my dad. All girls. I am also a twin. I have a daughter (out of wedlock) and so does my twin sister. (out of wedlock) Both our daughters were born on the same day 10 years apart. No men in our lives. My daughter has relationships but nothing gets really serious and so does my niece.(my sister’s daughter)
My younger spiritual sister Diane tryed to break the curse years ago but it’s not broken, not completely. We all still feel it. My sister Diane believed it’s because we all have to be together. (and it’s pretty darn strong) Any suggestion on how we all might have “men” in our lives and break this chain?
Thanks so sincerely much.
Namaste
Hi P – I know this may seem off-topic, but the message I’m getting for you is regular clearing and shielding of your aura. Here’s a video about why and how to do this: https://tesswhitehurst.com/how-and-why-to-clear-and-shield-your-energy/ and here’s a meditation you can do regularly for the purpose: https://tesswhitehurst.com/quick-thorough-aura-cleansing-meditation/ . I would try clearing and shielding daily for a while and see if you feel and notice a shift.
thank you! Hugs
Hi Tess,
I recently went to see my grandmother, whom asked me to 1.) pick up a glove and then touch something blue with it 2.) hold a match until it burned out.
I think she meant well by it, but I’m never quite sure as my grandmother doubtless has a spiteful vengeful side and often thinks that she knows best in all things, when in fact her arrogance and spite can occasionally override.
I regret doing as asked, and wish to undo whatever was done. Since that stay my metabolism has been undone and been suffering from a general ill feeling. I was quite happy before.
Hi there Tom! I’m not sure what that was about, but I suggest resetting your energy with the Rose Overdose Cure from this post.
I have been wondering for a long time if I am suffering the effects of some type of generational curse. When I was 13, my father committed suicide. My mother never remarried. I helped take care of my maternal grandmother until she passed from COPD. My grandfather was the next to pass from a heart attack. Then, my husband had a stroke. My mother then suffered from many afflictions, including COPD, a heart attack, and then passed from ovarian cancer. My youngest son recently had a roll over car accident and broke his leg and fractured his spine but fully recovered. Just a few months ago, my husband had a second stroke and lost his vision. He was completely blind at first but some of his vision has returned. He is having heart surgery this week to repair a birth defect which may be causing the strokes. As for my own health, I have suffered many debilitating conditions but I am too tough to go down without a fight. My life has been filled with more tragedy in my 46 years than most people endure in a lifetime. My youth was spent in the church choir singing God’s praises. So I am wondering, “what the heck? what did I do?” My grandmother was a professional astrologist, clairvoyant, and psychic. I wonder if she brought something onto us? I suspect she may have done witchcraft, perhaps some dark magic too. She was prone to anger and bitterness, especially if she felt slighted. I have deep beliefs in the occult, particularly after what I have seen with my own eyes. What are your thoughts?
Wanda, I’m really sorry to hear about all these hardships. I’m getting that there is indeed some sort of generational pattern as you are sensing, and that the Rose Overdose cure in this post will help quite a bit. It’s especially important that you perform it with the intention to restructure your energy and to claim a new momentum for yourself.
