1. Cleanse Your Space
Negative energy often accumulates in the spaces where we live and work. Cleansing your environment can help create a fresh start.
Smudging with Herbs
Burning herbs like sage, cedar, or palo santo is one of the most common ways to clear negative energy.
What You’ll Need:
- A bundle of sage, cedar, or palo santo
- A fireproof bowl or shell
Steps:
- Light the herb bundle and let it smolder, creating smoke.
- Walk through your space, wafting the smoke into corners, doorways, and windows.
- Say aloud or silently:
“With this smoke, I cleanse this space. All negativity must leave this place.”
Magical Tip: Open windows to allow the negative energy to escape.
Salt for Protection and Cleansing
Salt is a natural purifier that absorbs negative energy.
How to Use:
- Sprinkle salt along doorways, windowsills, or around your bed.
- Place a small bowl of salt in each room to absorb negativity.
- Replace the salt weekly and discard it away from your home.
2. Cleanse Your Energy
Cleansing your personal energy is just as important as cleansing your space. Negative energy can attach to your aura, affecting your mood and well-being.
Herbal Baths
A bath infused with cleansing herbs can wash away negativity and restore balance.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup Epsom salt

- Optional: A few drops of essential oil (e.g., lavender or eucalyptus)
Steps:
- Add the Epsom salt and herbs to your bath.
- Soak for 20-30 minutes, visualizing the water absorbing all negativity.
- As you drain the tub, imagine the negative energy leaving your body and being carried away.
Crystal Healing
Crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, and selenite are excellent for clearing energy.
How to Use:
- Hold a cleansing crystal while meditating to release negative thoughts.
- Place crystals in your pockets or wear them as jewelry for protection.
- Sweep a selenite wand around your body to clear your aura.
Breathwork and Visualization
Your breath is a powerful tool for releasing negativity.
Steps:
- Sit quietly and take deep breaths.
- With each inhale, imagine drawing in positive, white light.
- With each exhale, visualize releasing dark, heavy energy.
Magical Tip: Add an affirmation, such as:
“I release what no longer serves me and welcome peace.”
3. Address Emotional and Mental Blocks
Negative energy can originate from within. Taking time to address your thoughts and emotions can help shift your energy.
Shadow Work
Shadow work involves exploring and integrating hidden aspects of yourself.
How to Begin:
- Journal about emotions or patterns you find challenging.
- Ask yourself: What am I avoiding? How can I heal this part of me?
- Be patient and compassionate with yourself during this process.
Gratitude Practice
Focusing on gratitude can shift your mindset and attract positive energy.
How to Practice:
- Write down three things you’re grateful for each day.
- Express thanks to people in your life who bring positivity.
Magical Tip: Use a gratitude jar to collect notes of appreciation throughout the year.

Negative energy often comes from interactions with others. Protecting your energy means learning to set boundaries.
How to Set Boundaries:
- Say No: Politely decline requests or invitations that drain your energy.

5. Protect Your Energy
Once you’ve cleared negativity, protect your space and energy to prevent it from returning.
Protection Spells
Simple spells can help guard your energy.
What You’ll Need:
- A white candle
- A small bowl of salt
Steps:

“With this flame, I protect my space. No harm or negativity shall enter this place.” - Let the candle burn safely for a few minutes before extinguishing it.
Sigils for Protection
Create a personal symbol to ward off negativity.
How to Use:
- Draw the sigil on paper and place it in your wallet or under your pillow.

6. Align with the Moon
The moon’s cycles can amplify your cleansing and protective work:
