What I Learned from Feeling Spiritually Contaminated
Dear Brewtiful,
I've been feeling like there's a dark cloud hanging over me, as if I'm cursed. It seems like bad people and negative entities keep entering my life, causing chaos and bringing me down. How can I remove these curses and protect myself from these harmful influences?
Sincerely,
Hexed and Vexed
Dear Hexed and Vexed,
Let me start with this: You’re not cursed. You’re exhausted.
Exhausted from absorbing energy that was never yours. From attracting people who arrive with charm and leave chaos. From always being the one who sees too much, feels too deeply, and then gets blamed for “overreacting” when your spirit starts screaming.
Here’s the truth most “love-and-light” blogs won’t tell you: sometimes, people are the curse. Not because they’re magical—but because they’re manipulative. Because their presence drains your light. Because they carry their own rot and try to plant it in your garden.
The good news? You’re not powerless. Not even close.
Let’s talk about how to actually clear energy that doesn’t belong in your field—and how to hold your ground once you do.
Step One: Name the Energy, Don’t Nurture It
You’re not cursed. You’re connected to energy that isn’t aligned with you anymore. And just like any cord, it can be cut. So stop asking, “Why me?” and start asking, “What am I still tolerating that’s draining me?”
Once you name it—shame, betrayal, projection, someone else’s pain masked as love—you can unhook from it.
Step Two: Cleanse Like You Mean It (No Lukewarm Sage Allowed)
You don’t need a $90 cleansing kit. You need intention + repetition.
Herbal Bath: Boil rosemary, peppermint, and bay leaves. Strain into your bathwater. Soak. Say nothing. Just listen.
Resin Smudge: Burn frankincense or copal on charcoal. Waft the smoke over your chest, your head, your doorways. Watch what it stirs.
Sound Breaks Spells: Ring a bell. Play a bowl. Clap through every room. Your home should hear you reclaiming it.
Step Three: Protect What You’ve Cleared
You wouldn’t wash your floor and then invite muddy boots in. Energy is the same.
Talisman time: Evil eye, Hamsa, obsidian—whatever speaks to you. Carry it, wear it, speak to it. It’s not superstition. It’s symbolic reinforcement.
Visual Armor: Imagine a field of light surrounding you every time you walk into chaos. Yes, it feels silly. Do it anyway. You’re telling your nervous system, “I’ve got you now.”
Step Four: Cut the Emotional Contract
If you’re still obsessing about the person or event that broke you, you’re still energetically in bed with it.
Write their name. Write what they did. Burn it.
Or cut a piece of string. Or scream into a pillow. Or journal the ugliest truth you’ve been holding back.
Then say:
“I release you. I release me. I am no longer the host for what hurt me.”
Rinse your hands. Walk away.
Step Five: Know That Your Mind Will Doubt the Magic
That’s okay. You don’t have to believe in it perfectly. You just have to show up for it consistently.
Your anxiety will whisper, “What if it didn’t work?”
Answer it: “Then I’ll do it again. I’m not scared anymore.”
Final Truth?
You weren’t cursed. You were cracked open.
And now, you’re filling those cracks with fire. With clarity. With a boundary so high and holy no negative entity—even the ones dressed like exes or coworkers—can get in without permission.
You don’t need to be protected by anything external.
You are the protection. You are the ritual. You are the spell.
And you? You’ve already broken the curse—by daring to name it.
With smoke, salt, and a little spiritual vengeance,
Brewtiful
