Oops...Was That a Curse?
Let’s talk curses. Don’t worry. This won’t feel dark or scary. I’m a scaredy cat myself, so I don’t often allow myself to go there.
In this post, let’s focus on self-directed curses.
The thing is, it’s not uncommon for people to direct curses on themselves. Sometimes, these curses stick and sometimes they don’t.
So, What are Self-Directed Curses?
They can be as simple as a negative belief that you repeat to yourself over and over. Sometimes, they are a string of negative beliefs that have a similar theme.
A self-directed curse might sound like:
I’m never going to find a partner.
I never get what I want.
I always make poor investment decisions.
Common Characteristics
Here’s what I notice about the examples above:
How they all use absolute language (i.e. “never” and “always”)
There is an implied prediction about the future (i.e. I’m never going to find a partner. – It’s almost as if this statement also says, “I haven’t yet and I won’t in the future.”)
The absolute language doesn’t leave room for another outcome.
They imply a decision has been made by the person. (i.e. I always make poor investment decisions - The person sharing this has made a decision that this is true for them. It’s like they are saying, “I have decided that I always make poor investment decisions. It’s not up for debate. This is my fate.”)
Our words are quite powerful. When our body and our being believes the words, they have the potential to become, quite literally, unstoppable.
The Sticking Power of Curses
So what makes some self-directed curses stick and others not stick? I believe there isn’t a comprehensive, iron-clad list. But, from my experience in working with clients, here’s what I’ve noticed:
There’s a strong level of belief behind the statement, meaning the person fully believes what they are saying. They are unable to hold space for another truth that contradicts the statement.
There’s a level of vulnerability that the person is holding while they also hold this belief. I believe that when we are energetically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically healthy that for one, we likely wouldn’t be placing self-inflicted curses. But also, if we did happen to entertain a negative belief, it woudn’t stick in the way it would when we are feeling vulnerable.
Curses can be passed down to us (from our ancestors and our own past lives)
Our words have the power to create. This is a beautiful thing. When we recognize how powerful they are, we are better able to use language and our words to create what we want rather than create an outcome we don’t want.
