Do you believe in Evil Eye? Have you ever felt like someone’s jealousy can cause you harm? If yes, then that’s called Evil Eye or “Nazar”. When people say is someone doing better than them, whether it’s in their clothes, food, home, or life they sometimes look at the person with jealousy.
It’s believed that during this time a person’s negative energy can cause harm to the person they are jealous of and can also lead to accidents and Miss Fortune for that person. Now, whether this is a superstitious belief or it is real is uncertain but it’s true that the Evil Eye has been a part of our culture and history for centuries.
In India, we’ve grown up hearing about protecting ourselves from the evil eye. We’ve been told things like “Don’t step out of the house with a lot of effort and make-up, or the evil eye might strike,” or “Put kajal ka tiika, or someone will cast an evil eye,” and so on. Everyone has their own way of protecting themselves from the evil eye. Some people apply kajal ka tiika to protect newborns, while others use nibu-mirchi to hang outside their shops.
Many people believe that the evil eye doesn’t do anything, but many think that when someone looks at you with ill intentions or negatively praises you, it can affect you or bring the evil eye (buri nazar) upon you. Let’s find out the signs that are considered indicators of the evil eye and whether you are under its influence or not.
Signs You Are Affected By Evil Eye
- Excessive hair loss
Excessive hair loss is sometimes believed to be influenced by the Evil Eye in Indian culture. According to belief, the Evil Eye’s negative energy can cause stress and anxiety, affecting the body’s balance. This stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to excessive hair loss. It is believed in many cultures and religious practices that protecting oneself from the Evil Eye’s influence can help restore harmony and reduce hair loss.
- You become lazy
If you feel like extremely lazy it is believed that you are affected by the Evil Eye. The negative energy is draining your motivation and vitality. It’s thought that Envy or intention directed towards you can create a sense of heaviness and lazy feeling making you feel UN motivated and lacking in energy to engage in daily activities. This will suggest a connection between one’s mental state and external negative influences.
- Constant Yawning
Constant yawning when affected by the Evil Eye is believed to be a sign of energy drain. Yawning excessively is seen as the body’s way of trying to bring in more oxygen and energy to combat the negative effects of the Evil Eye. It’s like a subconscious response to feeling drained or exhausted due to the influence of jealousy or negative energy.
- Avoiding and disliking people
People might start avoiding or disliking others and they feel overwhelmed or disconnected. Evil Eye can make social interactions feel exhausting or daunting, leading to cutting out from social situations. Additionally, low mood and negative thoughts can impact how they perceive others, leading to feelings of irritation or anger towards people around them.
- Crying for no reason
When affected by the Evil Eye, some people may cry without a specific reason. This happens because the negative energy from jealousy or bad intentions can make them feel emotionally heavy or upset. It’s like having a sudden wave of sadness or discomfort that leads to tears. This emotional response is believed to be a way of releasing the stress and tension caused by the Evil Eye’s influence.
