What’s Really Causing the “Evil Eye”

from Still Alchemy · host Still Alchemy

Most people believe the “evil eye” comes from jealousy, but it runs much deeper than simple envy. It is not just about someone wanting what you have—it is about judgment. The evil eye emerges when others look at your life through a lens of doubt, negativity, or lack. It happens when someone questions your success, wonders why you deserve your blessings, or focuses on perceived flaws and unfairness in your journey. This kind of attention can create an energetic weight, forming obstacles in your path.However, an important truth is often overlooked: people tend to judge those who already judge themselves. When you doubt your worth, question your success, or feel undeserving of your achievements, you unintentionally invite that same energy from others. Self-doubt weakens your inner foundation, making external negativity feel stronger and more influential.Protection from the evil eye does not come from fear or avoidance, but from awareness and internal change. It begins by refusing to participate in judgment, both toward others and yourself. When you stop comparing, criticizing, or questioning what others have, you shift your mindset toward abundance. Likewise, when you stop doubting your own path, you strengthen your sense of self and reduce the impact of outside negativity.A powerful way to reinforce this is through visualization and affirmation. Imagine yourself surrounded by a protective, divine light—untouchable by negativity, immune to judgment, and aligned with your highest blessings. Repeat to yourself: “I replace judgment with gratitude. I see blessings, not lack. What is meant for me will always be mine.”In this way, true protection comes from within—through confidence, gratitude, and a mindset rooted in abundance.

Hand Me Down Heart Joe Martin You don't want someone's heart that still might belong to someone else. It's all or nothing, now or never. Don't hand me a hand me down heart.Credits Written by Joe Martin and Ben Jones Produced by Cal Campbell Mixed by James Wyatt Mastered by Rogan Kelsey Vocal and acoustic guitar - Joe Martin Drums and percussion - Cal Campbell Bass - Cornelius Webb Guitar - Ben Jarrad BVs - Ben Jones Photography by Steve Anderson Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to.
