Imagine standing in a supermarket aisle, comparing cereal boxes, when that overly curious neighbor appears. “So, how’s work going?” they ask. You answer, sharing details about a project or raise. Harmless, right? According to Kabbalah, such moments carry spiritual weight.
Jewish mystical tradition teaches the concept of ayin hara, often called the “evil eye,” but more accurately the idea that overexposure drains energy. Your Cli—your vessel for receiving abundance—can be weakened by sharing too freely.
Questions like “How’s work?” or “What are your plans?” may seem casual, but revealing too much prematurely scatters intention. Even inquiries about savings, health, or purchases can subtly affect your energy flow.
Kabbalah encourages measured responses: gratitude without specifics, faith without overexposure, strength without detailing weaknesses. Silence, discretion, and mindful speech protect your blessings. Words shape reality; knowing when not to speak is an act of preservation, not fear. Awareness safeguards your life energy.
