How to Get Rid of Bad Luck: 11 Proven Ways to Turn Your Luck Around

Feeling cursed or like everything’s going wrong? Whether you're superstitious or just in a rough patch, there are powerful ways to shake off bad luck and invite good energy into your life. From ancient rituals to spiritual cleansing, here are 11 tried-and-true methods to cleanse bad vibes and attract good fortune—based on expert insights and time-tested traditions.

1. Throw Salt Over Your Left Shoulder

Salt is a universal symbol of protection. Toss a pinch over your left shoulder to block bad vibes. You can also soak in a saltwater bath (2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in warm water) or sprinkle sea salt in the corners of your home to cleanse stagnant energy.

2. Don’t Trash Broken Mirrors—Cleanse Them

If you break a mirror, don’t toss it out. Either grind the shards into dust and scatter it to the wind, or wrap a reflective piece in black cloth and bury it on the next full moon. This symbolic ritual releases negative energy and protects you from the classic “7 years of bad luck.”

3. Burn Odd Numbers of Incense

Scents like sandalwood or jasmine are said to banish bad energy. Always burn an odd number of incense sticks (like 1 or 3), and walk the smoke through every corner of your home or workspace. Be sure to ventilate the area—experts recommend pure, natural incense to avoid lung irritation.

4. Carry Lucky Charms or Protective Symbols

Keep good vibes close by wearing or carrying protective talismans. Popular options include:

Rabbit’s foot (left hind only)
Four-leaf clover (wealth, love, fame, health)
Horseshoe (ends up to trap luck)
Keys (wealth, love, health trifecta)
The number 7 and color green (classic good-luck symbols across cultures)

5. Cleanse Your Space with Smoke

Use palo santo, bay leaves, or copal to purify your home. Light the herb, let it smolder, and walk through your space while waving the smoke outward. Always open windows to let the negative energy leave and fresh energy in.

❗Avoid burning white sage unless you're part of Indigenous traditions, as it's sacred and culturally specific.

6. Use Crystals to Protect Your Energy

Certain crystals are believed to shield you from bad luck and boost positivity:

Black tourmaline: Blocks negativity
Amethyst: Guards travelers
Labradorite: Protects emotional energy
Rose quartz: Attracts love and inner peace

Carry them, wear them, or keep them in your home or office.

7. Do a Good Deed to Shift Your Karma

One of the fastest ways to attract good luck is to create it. Volunteer, donate, or help someone in need—without expecting anything in return. Positive energy multiplies, and genuine kindness often brings unexpected blessings.

8. Cleanse Your Chakras with Flowers

Use seven different flowers (avoid white) to align your chakras and banish negativity:

Soak the blooms in sunlight for 1 hour
Use the flower water to bathe and visualize bright energy flooding your body
Dispose of the flowers afterward, imagining your bad luck being thrown away with them

Focus on your breath and “push” the negativity out from your body.

9. Pray or Meditate with Gratitude

Daily prayer helps shift your energy. Focus on gratitude—thank the universe (or your higher power) for the blessings you already have. Spiritual alignment can bring peace, perspective, and renewed luck.

10. Declutter to Unblock Energy

Clutter blocks energy flow. Clean and rearrange your space to make room for new, lucky opportunities. Let natural light in, burn incense, and play uplifting music while you declutter to refresh your home’s energy.

11. Use Light to Chase Away Bad Luck

Turn on every light in your house, burn white candles, or hang white string lights in your doorway. For a quick luck shift, try this candle ritual:

Light 2 white candles (protection and cleansing)
Light 1 orange candle (luck and transformation)

Light banishes darkness—both literal and spiritual.

Final Words

Bad luck isn’t always random—it’s often tied to energy, perspective, and environment. With these rituals and mindset shifts, you can release negativity and welcome brighter, luckier days ahead. Whether it’s salt, crystals, good deeds, or light, your luck is something you can shift—starting now.

It took me two weeks to finish the herbs and after I finished using it, he told me to go for a medical test, behold the result was negative, now I am HERPES VIRUS free. I just want to use this platform to thank Dr Omofuma for curing me from that horrible disease and also for exposing his herbal cure to the world at large, please you can as well contact Dr Omofuma on his email below.
