Bad Karma

[debmidge]

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.
