Winter still holds tight with icy fingers and frigid breath, but we can raise our vibrations in preparation for new goals and possibilities that come with a new year.

Aura-cleansing spray is an easy, smokeless alternative to smoke cleansing. It can remove the negative gunk and low-vibrational energy that can accumulate over the winter holidays.

You will need:

• A 4-ounce glass spray bottle
• 4 ½ tablespoons water
• 1 ½ tablespoons witch hazel
• 20–25 drops lavender essential oil (for calming energy)
• 20–25 drops cedar essential oil (for cleansing and courage)
• A small amethyst crystal

Add all ingredients to the spray bottle and shake to mix. Optional: Write words of intention on an adhesive label to stick on your bottle for added power. You might choose words like flourish, strength, thrive, abundance, courageous, resilient, or renew. Use the spray before meditation, high-tension social situations, spellwork, or any time your energy feels off. As you spritz, say something like this:

I am exactly where I need to be.
My vibe is clear and true.
I release all negativity.
My light is shining through.
