Ever get the feeling that someone’s watching you?
As if your energy’s being tugged on?
Or maybe you’ve had a “friend” stare a little too long at one of your successes and now you feel the little green monster named envy beginning to creep in?
Those experiences that leave you simply feeling “off” means you might want to seek protection from the evil eye. A look charged with typically malicious or resentful energy, the evil eye is like a spiritual side-eye longing for what you have.
From Greece and Turkey to South Asia and Latin America, the universal experience of dark energy transfers led to the birth of “the evil eye”. Though the amulet created to remove and deflect energy sent its way is commonly referred to as “the evil eye”, the blue and white swirling eye gracing our jewelry stores and TikTok feeds currently is known as “mati” to the Greeks and “nazar” to the Turkish. Whatever you call it, its spiritual protection remains just as potent.
But the beautiful amulet is more than just protection. It serves as a reminder to guard our glow. Even the most well-meaning people can send the evil eye by coveting the blessings that have come your way. That desire can fester into jealousy in the blink of an eye. Not sure if it’s all in your head? Toss on a nazar bracelet just to be safe. If it breaks, you’ll know your bead of protection has done its job.
You deserve to feel radiant, grounded and light. You deserve energy clear of jealousy and envy. We are all worthy of being protected and safe. So ahead, discover how to tell and heal should the evil eye attach itself to you or someone you love.
Commons signs the evil eye has been sent to you:
- Increased fatigue and uncharacteristically negative moods
- Sudden breaking of things
- Technological malfunctions
- Anxiety and tension in the body
- Just plain old “bad luck” following you around
Ways to clear it and protect from the evil eye:
- Epsom salt baths
- Prayer and meditation rituals
- Cleansing with palo santo, incense or an egg cleanse (if culturally appropriate for your heritage)
Where to add an amulet into your everyday life:
- In your car for safe travels
- At your desk to ward off odd office energy
- On your baby’s stroller or crib (an ancient move for mamas)
- Necklaces placed with intention and blessings
- The doorway of your room or home for a warm, blessed home
At the end of the day, it’s a trend and fashion that does no harm so you might as well lean in and check all boxes by gaining protection from the evil eye!
