How to Get Rid of Evil Eye Curses

The evil eye is a powerful superstition.

The evil eye is misfortune that someone who is envious or revengeful creates for victims. There are various names for this curse across numerous cultures, including "ayin ha'ra" (the evil eye) in Hebrew, "mal occhio" (the bad eye) in mainland Italy and "mal ojo" (the bad eye) or "el ojo" ( the eye) in Spain. The evil eye allegedly works by someone hatefully looking at your children or garden or livestock or giving jealous praise that causes harm. However, the idea of the evil eye is merely a cultural belief, not a fact. You can easily rid yourself of the concept.

Things You'll Need

• Amulet or charm
• Paper and writing instrument or computer
• Directory of agencies that help abuse victims
• Telephone number of your health care provider

Instructions

1. Educate yourself about how superstitions can damage and cripple people's lives. Do not become a victim through ignorance. Get rid of superstitious thoughts. The simplest way to rid yourself of an evil eye curse is not to believe in the evil eye or other superstitions. Live a practical and fact-based life that only acknowledges the material world as valid existence because this is a surety against those who manipulate emotion-centered beliefs such as the evil eye to harm others. The person who wants to influence you has lost his power if you do not believe in the evil eye.

2. See a doctor if you are feeling ill. What you may consider an evil eye curse with a sudden or gradual loss in health needs evaluation from a qualified health practitioner who can give you a clinical diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment. Do not let superstition get in the way of necessary medical care.

3. Carry an amulet or talisman if that makes you feel secure. Many people, for example, have their favorite pencil for taking a test or a lucky article of clothing to ace the interview or win the baseball game. Some people do rituals like burning sage for purification. There is nothing wrong with having a small emotional boost in tangible form to remind yourself that you are going to make a change for the better in your life. However, do not become dependent on the object or ritual for your esteem, health and courage. These are only important as reminders of how good you are but are not the good that is inside you.

4. Remember your self-worth and integrity. You are not helpless and unable to control your destiny. Write a list of the things that you are capable of doing to make your life more prosperous, safe and happy. The evil eye is a superstition that some people use to intimidate others either as a victim of the evil eye or as patients that they "save" from the evil eye. Have confidence in yourself and you will not be cursed.

5. Avoid situations where you feel emotionally unsafe. Leave relationships where someone tells you that you are the victim of the evil eye or are a patient being "saved" from the evil eye. Remember that you have the emotional and psychological means to create your life and other people should not direct or order how you live. According to scientists in the May 2006 issue of the Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease, people who suffer physical and emotional abuse as children are more likely to believe in superstitions such as the evil eye. Seek help from people and organizations, such as women's shelters that work against personal violence.
