Do you think someone has put the evil eye on you?

First of all, don't panic, and start looking for who to blame.  Usually nobody actually intends to give a person the evil eye, and it is almost never given by only one person.  Evil eye is the cumulative psychological/spiritual effect of being looked upon with envy or greed.  It is not a single stand-alone curse.

Second, understand that the evil eye has a specific effect.  It dries you up and sucks the life out of you.  Other misfortunes are not related to the evil eye.

The evil eye always takes something.  It doesn't give you a tumor, or cause you to have an infection.  It makes you suddenly unable to keep any money, or causes your skin to become dry, or you can become tired for some reason the doctors can't figure out.

It is always related to some good fortune you have.  If too many people look upon you with envy or greed, Nature, which includes what some call the collective consciousness, senses an imbalance and tries to restore it.  This does not mean that you deserve bad things to happen to you.  It just means that in the future you must be more careful not to lord your blessings over others, and that you must remember to keep balance in your own life.  For every fortune you receive, you should attempt to do something that will benefit someone else.  Then it is much easier to get rid of evil eye type of energy sent in your direction.

If you are sure that you have evil eye related problems, you should try to take a day off from work, and go through a program of cleansing, fasting, and prayer.

If you haven't been giving your tithe or offerings to charity that your faith requires, then right that wrong as soon as possible.  If you don't have the money to do so at the moment, then take whatever food, clothes, or other goods of value.  Get a box, and start putting things in that box until your heart feels right.  If it takes it, get more boxes, bags, or whatever, and fill them until your inner voice tells you it's enough for now.  Give these things away.

If you have nothing to spare, such as in a case where you've recently had a baby or gotten a new lover or spouse, and perhaps others are jealous, do other nice things for people.  Call your relatives and friends who haven't heard from you since long.  Write an encouraging poem anonymously and send it to someone.

Basically, do whatever you can to give something back for the good that has come to you.

Clean your body.  Things with natural rosemary herb or extract are among the best.  Lemons, orange, and citrus are also good.  Also, change your bed, and clean your furniture coverings if possible.  If it's not possible, then sprinkle them with a nice smelling dusting powder or "carpet fresh" and then vacuum them.

Let as much sunlight into your place as possible, and go out for a tan yourself.  Don't let yourself sunburn, but try to tan nude so that some sun gets to every part of your body.

Go to the sea, and let the water get into everything, including your hair.  If you don't live near a beach, then make a sea or Dead Sea salt bath in your bathtub. Let the salt water be on your body for about 20 minutes before you rinse it off.

On the day you do your cleansing, you should not eat any food, but you should drink plenty of water.  If you have to eat because you're diabetic or on medication, only eat the very minimum.  Avoid any meat, fish, dairy, or eggs that day.

As I said before, you must give back to the Universe, for all the good fortune that you have.  It is helpful to take some time from each day to reflect on the good things you have in your life.  Then when you face the world, do it with an attitude of what you can do for others that won't break you.  It costs nothing to be polite and kind to those who aren't harming you.

Take care not to openly display your good fortune and blessings overmuch.  It's okay to be happy that you have a wonderful child, but don't treat your child like a success object.  They are not a bracelet or a car or a house.  They are a human being with feelings.

Don't envy others' blessings.  This can lead to all manner of negativity.  It creates a social situation in which wealth and other prosperity becomes a moral issue.  It should not be.  So don't put that kind of energy out there, and less of that kind of energy will come back to you.

Another thing that people don't like to hear is that part of maintenance is avoiding too much meat, leather, dairy, and eggs.  You should minimize the lives that you take in order to live as much as you can without harming or depriving yourself beyond a reasonable tolerance.  Pick a day of the week perhaps, that you will go vegan or at least vegetarian.  Also, fast at least one day a month so that you can be mindful of what it is like to have to do without things.

Recently, someone asked me a question about what to do if the envy and greed is coming from one's family.  Sometimes a person may make good, and then everyone in the family has their hand out.  Then, instead of appreciating the generosity, they constantly ask for more, and get angry when you don't give.  In addition, when you need help, they have no concern for your needs.  They get angry with you when you no longer hve what to give.

Unfortunately, this is the price of good fortune.  So you must adhere to the saying, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.  Teach him how to fish, and he'll eat forever."  Take care not to be overly tight fisted, but also take care not to be overly generous.  Always keep a balance.  It is better to teach them how to make money for themselves, and give them what money they need to get started, than to just keep giving them money whenever they ask.

Your parents need and deserve to be cared for in their old age.  Disabled relatives also need help in things that they can't do for themselves.  However, both should have limits.  Give them what would be needed for them to have a good lifestyle along with whatever they are making themselves, and no more.  If they ask for more, tell them that this should be saved for in case your fortune is not always so good.  If they over-exploit you now, then you may all be in the poor house later.

If they get angry or resentful about this, break communication until they have a better attitude.  Send money through the bank, or through a messenger, but don't speak to them in person.  If they try to manipulate you through another member of the family, break communication with that person too until they come to you with their hands out for your love, not just for more money than you are already giving them.

If they never come to you with love instead of greed, then consider what you are paying them a salary to stay away from you.  It is better that they just get the money, and not power over your life or your soul.  The people around you in daily life should be people who want you, not your money.

Blessings to you, the reader!
