Bad Karma

I need to know how to shake off bad karma....how to get the "black cloud" from being over my head...

I feel somehow someone put a curse on me and it's never going away.

Does anyone have any special knowledge of removing curses?

I am serious.....

Possibly a bit simplistic but go out and try to help others, concentrate on problems within your community that you can do something about. Let someone else in front of you in a line, smile and say something like 'You must be having a really hard day' when a store clerk is rude to you, volunteer at a shelter or visit a nursing home. Be kind, be forgiving, be unselfish and try not to ever speak of others in a way that you would not like to be spoken of.

What you give comes back threefold, if you give kindness, good thoughts and forgiveness you will get the same back. The forgiveness part by the way applies to yourself also. Think of today as a day to go forward, not to forget the hurts in the past but to move past them.

You can smudge with sage. Smudge your home, office, wherever you want to drive out negative/bad spirits, energy, feelings, or influences.

Look into "sage smudging" or "smudging with sage"

Good luck :)

Say a prayer to Jesus! Ask Him to provide safe cover and shelter from whatever is going on. I"ll say one, too.

God bless. This will pass, I promise.

Curses only work if YOU put your faith in them (every religion says so, DH did major research about them a few years ago). So first, STOP that!! Second, sageing is good, Third, do some good in the world. Volunteer or something.

And remember, if the bad in the our lives didn't exist, how could we recognize the good?

Good luck. *hugs* I hope your karma gets better soon!!

I would like to suggest the book, Get Out ot that Pit, by Beth Moore.

You are one step closer to where you need to be. You have decided something needs to change.

Without sounding like boasting, but without doing into detail, I already do what you mentioned....I try to also live under this rule "Don't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing" as regards good works....But I am concerned about something spiritually bad that's been directed my way. No matter if you life good or bad, there's always going to be someone who doesn't like you. I have a suspicion as to who may have wished this on me, but I am not at liberty to discuss it.

Thanks, I'll look into this....However I don't know where to start: home/office...it seems to be following me around...

Yep! done this too...even went to talk to a Priest about it and he said there' s no such thing as curses....this was about 4 years ago .... so whatever it is, it isn't passing.

I don't want to sound like I don't believe you, or you are being silly, but like someone else mentioned, these things only have the power that you give them. What you focus on grows. If you 1) pray about it, 2) Increase your good Karma (like with the good works you said you already do), 3) Sage Smuge or other rituals 4) Try to go to the source (clearing the air with that person/situation), then that is all you can do, and you have to take that power away from the person/situation, and not feed it anymore.

I can't remember who said it, but a wise man one said "I have two dogs in my soul, one happy and content, and one angry and mean" and someone asked "which is stronger?" and he replied "the one I feed most often"

You say this has been going on for quite a while. Did it by any chance start after you had moved into a new home? You said you had spoken with a priest, could he possibly come and bless your house for you? Homes can absorb toxic energies from past residents but don't say it is because you think your are 'cursed' just see if he will do it. Another thing you can do is to take some holy water, your priest can bless a jug of it for you. Sprinkle it throughout the house while praying. Then put a line of salt across your doorways and a mirror across from all entries to repel negative energies. Then get your smudge stick, take a shower or bath first and make sure your calm and not at all angry, and then walk thoughout your house with the burning smudge stick and ask that your house be blessed and cleared of negative energy. Kind of a combo of different methods, don't know if it will help for sure but it can't hurt.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
