A beginner-friendly guide to clearing stuck or negative energy from your space and aura.
Have you ever walked into a space and immediately felt heavy, agitated, or off? Or maybe you’ve had a long day and notice a lingering emotional weight that just won’t lift?
That’s energetic residue — and it’s more common than you think.
Whether it’s leftover tension, other people’s emotions, or your own energetic buildup, cleansing your energy field and environment is essential for spiritual well-being. At Practical Magicka, we believe cleansing is the foundation of any magical or mindful practice.
Here’s a simple, beginner-friendly guide to clearing energy using two of nature’s most powerful tools: crystals and herbs.
Step 1: Choose Your Crystals Wisely
Crystals aren’t just beautiful — they hold vibrational energy that can help reset and cleanse your own. Here are a few favorites for clearing and protection:
Black Tourmaline: Absorbs negative energy and protects your aura
Selenite: Clears stuck energy and uplifts the spirit (never needs cleansing)
Clear Quartz: Amplifies intention and purifies both body and space
Amethyst: Promotes calm, spiritual clarity, and emotional release
✨ How to use them:
Place them in corners of your room or sacred space
Hold them in your hand while meditating or deep breathing
Sweep them gently over your body, especially the chakras, to “comb” away stuck energy

Step 2: Cleanse with Herbs & Smoke
Herbs have been used for centuries in spiritual traditions to clear energy and restore balance. At Practical Magicka, we offer ethically sourced bundles, sprays, and loose herbs to support this practice.
Popular choices for cleansing:
White Sage: Classic and powerful for clearing out negativity (use responsibly and respectfully)
Palo Santo: Sweet, grounding smoke that uplifts and blesses
Rosemary: Clears stagnant energy and boosts personal power
Lavender: Cleanses while inviting in peace and calm
Mugwort: Great for intuitive clarity and dreamwork
Cleansing your energy isn’t just a ritual — it’s a reset. It’s how we honor ourselves, release what’s not ours, and create space for peace, clarity, and new magic to flow in.
If you’re new to energy work, start small. Even holding a piece of selenite in quiet stillness can shift your frequency.
