We, as a society, have always been intrigued by the dark and mysterious elements of the world around us. Curses and evil influences on our lives are a reality, but don’t worry – there are steps that you can take to protect yourself.

In order to understand the way that curses work in our lives, you must first understand the universal energy. This is the energy that moves among us, found in every living specimen and inanimate object both on this planet and on through other dimensions. It is what connects us to one another, and to the Earth that we inhabit. Furthermore, it is what keeps us connected within ourselves.

When this life energy is balanced, working positively in our lives, it can empower us to true success. However, at the same time, when this energy is out of balance or steered in a negative direction, it can wreak havoc in our lives. Negativity can drive a wedge into our relationships, destroy our self-confidence, or even cause issues with our physical health. It’s certainly not something that we should ignore!

When someone curses you, what they are actually doing is influencing this energy. In the same way that you can banish negativity or invite positivity into your life, others can use this energy against you. When someone directs their attention to the energy in your life, they can use their influence to sway it in one way or another. Spiritual healers often use this power in order to bring happiness, balance, and harmony into people’s lives. They work to banish negativity, introducing their positive influence into the energy in an individual’s life.

The act of embracing darkness and negativity opens the door to an evil side of this life energy. If someone specifically directs negative energy towards you, wishing evil and ill upon you, they can bring ‘bad luck’ into your life.

This experience often feels wildly out of your control, but it’s anything but! If you start to notice signs of negative energy in your life, including excessive criticism and complaining, feelings of anxiety or depression, or difficulties in your relationships, then it’s time to do something about it. The key to freeing your life from a curse is to banish the negative energy from your life.

Here are some effective ways to free yourself from negative energy:

Smudging

Burning white sage has long been used to cleanse a space of negative energy. After lighting the white sage, move through the house in a clockwise direction starting at the front door. Direct the smoke throughout the space paying careful attention to the dark corners, or concealed spaces like closets, cupboards, basements, and garages.

Rewire Your Thinking

While the initial negative energy at fault may have been introduced into your life by an outside source, your own negativity may be making the problem FAR worse. Eliminate negative thinking, instead focusing on the power of positive self-talk. Write some positive affirmations, outlining the direction you want your life to take, and say them in front of the mirror to start every morning.

Declutter Your Home

If you are surrounded by clutter within your home, this can stop the flow of energy through your space. This will effectively trap the negative energy that has been directed your way while preventing new, positive energy from entering. Take some time to remove items you are no longer using. Step back and examine the flow through each room of the home, rearranging furniture if need be in order to promote better energy flow throughout the home.
