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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
