The Danger of the "Evil Eye"

We have all heard of the “Evil Eye.” But what is that, really? Where does envy, jealousy resentment originate from? It starts in the eyes, when we see something we want, or someone we are jealous of. Since the eyes are the source of these negative feelings, we have come to understand these emotions as “the evil eye.”

The Kabbalah teaches that this type of negative energy can seriously affect our spiritual well-being. This type of negativity can prevent us from reaching our goals of spiritual growth and personal transformation. Even worse, the “evil eye” can send us backward along a path of growth we’ve already traveled.

The Red String Protects from Jealousy

Do you know about the “Red String”? Revealed long ago by the ancient kabbalists, the red string works to protect those that wear it in two special ways. It is protection from jealous looks of people we come in contact with, and eliminates feelings of resentment and envy within ourselves.
The red string is worn around the wrist of the left hand, and is made of pure wool. Since the focus of the Kabbalah is on positive and negative energies and not necessarily on the “do’s and don’t’s” of behavior, it is of immeasurable importance that a person has a tool to help him maintain the proper energy in his life. The red string is just such a tool.

When people repeat the same mistakes in their relationships repeatedly it is because they have yet to discover the true reason for their difficulties. Most people are waiting for those around them to change, when what is really needed is for the person who is unhappy to change. The Kabbalah teaches that this transformation is the basis for healing ourselves and our relationships.

At the Kabbalah Centre the ancient wisdom is taught so that people can improve their relationships with themselves, their loved ones, their community, and finally transforming the world in which we live.
