This might sound a little crazy, but I've had someone I know wish bad upon me and I've been unwell since. Apparantly he has a curse so I was wondering if I could ask people to send positive energy to me.

Well, I will give you some sagacity,
Pray for deliverance in the name of Jesus Christ with
conviction, and you will have deliverance.

I, too, employed the ‘energy’ principle, but
my battery is too limited…Easily diminished…

I will pray for you nevertheless,,

This reminds me of the old saying, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” No one can cause you ill by merely wishing it so. That is the realm of superstition, the evil eye, and other false positive nonsense.

Don’t accept what other people wish upon you as fact. They are probably mentally ill, and surely you won’t let the thoughts and words of someone who isn’t well affect you, would you?

You don’t need positive energy; what you need is to realize no one can put a curse on you. MIght as well claim you’ve been possessed by demons. You’re fine, don’t worry about it. Things will get better, and if you are truly concerned about your health, see a doctor.

All you have to do is eat a quart of maple-flavored yogurt in one sitting and the curse will be transferred back to its sender as a double-whammy.

No praying is necessary. That’s crazy stuff!

Turtle's avatar

Thanks….I know it sounds superstitious…it’s just I know from experience positive energy helps me

@Turtle then think positive thoughts, and things will be right in your world in no time at all.

Turtle's avatar

He didn’t mean it apparantly, but I’ve felt negativity from it…and just trying to counteract it

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@Turtle, so do you believe that curses and such things are real?

MissAnthrope's avatar

Based on the principles of magick, you are giving this “curse” power, the more you think, worry, and believe. If you didn’t believe it, you would find it has no effect on you.

You need to do whatever is comfortable for you, but at the very least, you must stop giving power to the “curse”. Personally, I would do a blessing/purification/protection ritual on myself, just to set my own energy straight.

Lastly, any energy we could send is not as powerful as the energy you would project if you focused it. The general rule in magick is that the person desiring the spell or effect must raise energy by focusing their desire for whatever result. Doing it for the person is much less effective.

Turtle's avatar

I have prayed. I don’t know of any rituals. Any ideas?

I don’t want to give it power…it’s just I can feel this persons energy easily

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

Well, science can’t help you here. Try Crusader’s advice, or AlenaD’s advice. I’ll keep my opinions on this subject to myself.

MissAnthrope's avatar

It can be as elaborate or as simple as you like, what matters is that it works for you. As an example, you could sit in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Light candles or incense if it helps the atmosphere, some people find it aids in raising energy.

Then sit and focus for some time on centering yourself, then imagine a brilliant white light surrounding you like a shield. You want to carry this shield around with you, so let it build in your mind until it sticks. Make sure you really get in touch with your emotions on the subject and make yourself feel a very strong desire to deflect the negative energy. What has also worked for me in terms of protection (both of myself and my car) is to then imagine a pentagram (a symbol of power and protection) hovering above you and also shielding you from harm.

It doesn’t have to take very long, just as long as it takes for you to feel centered and satisfied the energy shield is there. If you believe in the shield, it will work.

Writing it out, it sounds kooky, but I have worked enough magick successfully that I stand by what I said. ;)

Thankyou AlenaD

Go, absorb another’s suffering. Yours shall dissipate.

Crusader's avatar

Well phrased, Strangeling…

strangeling's avatar

Love never fails or so it has been said. We’ll see, won’t we.

Crusader's avatar

Yes, we shall. Unfortunately, the ‘tough’ variety
of Love is often the only effective form for
some, (myself included at times…)

Who was it that said, God scourges those he
Loves? (Jesus was scourged…though I would Not
reccommned it, todays scourging is hopefully
more of the intellectual variety..in the West,
elsewhere it can be very real, and very unpleasant,
(think Rwanda or the Congo…)

Turtle's avatar

Am I misreading or are people recommending ‘Tough Love’ with me?

Crusader's avatar

No, you are misreading, it was a general response to Strangling
I believe you have already selected your course, yes?

Turtle's avatar

Yes, Thankyou to everyone who helped and offered support

Crusader's avatar

If you read my post, I was referring to Gods Love.
Anyway, as you know it is free given for the asking..

Turtle's avatar

Which do you mean is free given…Gods Love, peoples answers or both…Heh

Crusader's avatar

Gods love always, peoples answers, on open forums

That is a reverse Placebo effect. The “curse” affects you because you believe it does.
For instance, i feel that friday 13th has always been a lucky day for me, even though i know that it is a day like every other.

Turtle's avatar

Yes I know about the placebo effect and that I have to know it doesn’t hurt me. That is what i’ve been trying to get myself to believe and will.
Why I was worried is that this person had apparantly caused harm to others in this way before when he wanted to.

Crusader's avatar

Their Are sorcerers, and some have Legitimate Power,
Their are defences, you know my suggestion..

skfinkel's avatar

What did you do to get this curse?

Crusader's avatar

However, nothing of this nature is proveable,
Lest we enter into another inquisition…

Crusader's avatar

And That would be a catastrophy.

Crusader's avatar

For only the innocent would suffer,
This is the nature of Man’s Justice in
this respect. Opportunism. False Accusations..
Self-protection is the Only recourse.

Turtle's avatar

I didnt do anything wrong. This person was going through a bad time and I wasn’t available to speak to them when they wanted to.

Crusader's avatar

I never implied you did, just extended the
same reasoning of the Inquisitors, (pschic harm,) to its
natural extension, I am certain that is not
the direction you intended to proceed to,
quite the countrary I am sure.

Turtle's avatar

I was just replying to skfinkel’s question. I’m still getting used to fluther! heh

strangeling's avatar

Be the duck and just let the curse be the proverbial water off your back. Swim and fly and swim and fly just like you always did. If it bothers you yet still, then have another chit chat with Crusader.

wundayatta's avatar

In what way are you feeling unwell?

RedPowerLady's avatar

There are things you can do to stop negative energy coming to you. In whatever form.

First and foremost stop thinking about it and stop talking about it. Only talk about it if and when it is absolutely necessary. Essentially by talking about it and thinking about it you are adding your energy to that negativity thus compounding it. I’ve been told this by many people and truly believe in it.

Second you should smudge. If you don’t know how then you can PM me and I will give you instructions. It is really quite easy.

Third you can tie red yarn/thread around your wrist (i think left but might as well do both, lol) to ward off negative energy. Several cultures use a red yarn to do this but they place it on different parts of their body.

Also if you have anything this person has given you, then you need to get rid of it. Proper way to do so is bury it away from your house or work and then pour water over it.

Those are some good steps that should help out significantly. That is from my personal, spiritual, and cultural beliefs. You don’t have to agree with those steps but I thought I’d provide them for you just in case you might find them helpful.
