Evil Eye Explained: Protecting Your Energy, Shadow Work & Spiritual Practices

The “evil eye” is a concept that spans cultures, religions and spiritual traditions but at its core, it’s all about energy, projections and how we navigate envy, negativity and outside influence. In this episode, I explore what the evil eye really means, how to recognise it and how to protect your energy while staying rooted in your light.You’ll also hear about fascinating research like the Maharishi Effect showing the ripple of collective consciousness and how we can apply that same wisdom in our daily lives. Beyond protection, I share practical practices for cleansing your energy, the importance of keeping ideas sacred while they’re still seeds and how to shift from envy into celebration through shadow work.If you’ve ever felt drained after being around certain people, second-guessed yourself after sharing your dreams or wondered how to hold your energy strong in the face of negativity, this episode is for you.What We Cover:  • What the evil eye really represents and why it shows up across cultures • The Maharishi Effect: how collective meditation decreased crime rates and what that teaches us about projections • The neuroscience of belief and intention in protecting your energy • Why your light is always stronger than negativity • Cord dissolving and aura protection practices you can use anytime • The importance of keeping ideas sacred in their seed stage • How to build a circle of “vision holders” who uplift, not diminish, your dreams • Shadow work: transforming envy and jealousy into inspiration and celebration • How to notice when negativity “hooks” you and shift into empowermentConnect with Maddison at Bloomin Within:• Instagram: @bloominwithin_ + @seedyoursubconscious_• TikTok: @bloominwithin_• Website: www.bloominwithin.com.au• Podcast: Seed Your SubconsciousRate & Review:If this episode resonated, share it with someone you love and leave a review on Apple or Spotify - it helps this work reach more beautiful minds like yours.Mental Health Support Services:• Australia: Lifeline – 13 11 14 (www.lifeline.org.au)• USA: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 988 (988lifeline.org)• UK: Samaritans – 116 123 (www.samaritans.org)• Canada: Talk Suicide Canada – 1-833-456-4566 (www.talksuicide.ca)• International: Find a local helpline at www.findahelpline.com
