Evil Eye: Origins, Symptoms and How to Free Yourself Through Magnetic Healing

The evil eye is an ancient belief found, in different forms, in many cultures around the world.

Some of the people I see grew up with this idea and use it quite naturally to describe a period during which they feel that something has changed, or that everything suddenly seems to be blocked.

I will neither mock this belief nor use it to feed fear. I am not trying to convince you that someone wishes you harm.

My work is first to listen to what you are going through, to identify what calls for another kind of help, and then, when it matches what you are asking for, to offer you wellbeing support.

What belongs with a doctor, not with the evil eye

People sometimes describe physical symptoms to me and ask whether they could be caused by the evil eye.

My answer is simple: any persistent physical or psychological symptom should first be assessed by a health professional.

Lasting fatigue, frequent headaches, persistent digestive problems, unusual pain, sleep problems or a low mood that does not lift can have many causes.

It is not for me to determine which. That search belongs to the doctor.

What some people describe to me

Once that distinction is made, there remain the situations that people themselves sometimes link to the evil eye.

They are neither a list of symptoms nor a way of telling whether someone is the victim of an outside influence. They are simply experiences people report.

• The feeling that several areas of life are getting blocked at the same time.
• Plans or projects that seem to fail one after another.
• A sense of a “before” and an “after” around a particular period or event.
• A feeling of heaviness, or of being weighed down by something you cannot name.
• A loss of momentum, or the feeling of no longer moving forward as before.
• The feeling of standing beside your own life rather than being fully engaged in it.
• Unease felt after certain encounters or in certain situations.
• A run of setbacks that feels unusual.
• The impression that what matters most never comes to anything.
• A weariness that comes from sensing something is wrong without being able to explain it.

These experiences can be deeply felt without being proof of the evil eye. Several difficult events can also happen by chance, or have causes that are unrelated to one another.

When not to look for an energetic explanation

There are situations in which I believe it would be irresponsible to reinforce the idea of an outside influence.

If you have a lasting feeling of being watched, followed or targeted, if you are convinced that people are arranging events against you, or if you see or hear things that those around you do not perceive, please talk to a doctor or a mental health professional.

What I will not do

Fear of the evil eye can make a person particularly vulnerable to the claims of someone who says they know exactly what is happening to them.

That is not the way I work.

I do not name a culprit

I will not tell you that a neighbour, a colleague, a friend or a family member is responsible for what you are going through.

I do not feed fear

I will not tell you to hide your happiness, your success or your children because they would inevitably attract jealousy or the evil eye.

I do not create dependence

I do not sell a protection that would need to be renewed regularly for fear of becoming vulnerable again.

Naming someone as responsible without any objective evidence can damage a relationship, reinforce mistrust and further isolate the person who is looking for help.

What I perceive when I work

In my practice as a magnetic healer, I sometimes perceive certain areas as tenser, heavier or different during a session.

These perceptions belong to my subjective experience as a practitioner. I regard them neither as a diagnosis nor as proof that a person is the victim of the evil eye or of some outside action.

This is an important distinction: I can work from what I feel without turning that perception into a statement about the origin of your difficulties.

What I do in a session

When you arrive feeling that everything has become heavy or blocked, I do not try to convince you of any particular explanation.

I welcome you with what you are feeling, and I work within the framework of my practice as a magnetic healer. Depending on the case, you are lying down, seated or standing; I sit or stand behind you, connect to your energy and absorb what is negative, often yawning or burping as I do so.

Setting down what weighs on you

The session offers a time during which you can stop, for a moment, searching for an explanation for everything that is happening to you.

Finding calm again

Some people describe a feeling of calm or lightness after the session. These feelings remain individual.

Recentring yourself

My aim is to accompany you towards a state in which you can regain some perspective and come back to yourself.

Some people also tell me, after their session, that they feel calmer or that their daily life seems to be moving forward again.

I take these accounts for what they are: individual experiences. I cannot promise you a return of good luck, the disappearance of a blockage or any particular result.

Evil eye or self-cursing?

These expressions are often used as if they meant exactly the same thing. I prefer to tell them apart.

A person can feel blocked without anyone else being responsible. Fear itself can also end up taking up a great deal of space: you watch every event, every failure and every coincidence as confirmation that an influence exists.

This is what I discuss when I talk about self-cursing: not as the person’s fault, but as a dynamic in which a conviction or a fear ends up shaping the way events are lived and interpreted.

I have written a full article on the differences between the evil eye, curses and self-cursing.

What I observe in sessions

Since I wrote this article, the people who come to see me about the evil eye often have the same thing in common: a tiredness that will not go away, one annoyance after another, and above all the feeling that “it never stops”. What I observe in sessions is that the body relaxes fairly quickly once what weighs on you has been named. I promise nothing; each person moves forward at their own pace. But putting words to it, then letting go of what does not belong to you, often changes the way what follows is lived. If you recognise yourself here, a session at my practice or remotely is a chance to take stock calmly.

Come when you feel ready

You do not need to convince me that what you feel is real for you. I can hear it without judging you.

On the other hand, I will not turn your worry into a certainty, and I will not name anyone as responsible for what is happening to you.

I do not promise to “lift the evil eye”, to bring back good luck or to remove a phenomenon whose existence I cannot objectively establish.

What I offer you is a space to set down what weighs on you, find calm again, step back and refocus on what is right for you.
