The idea of keeping an evil eye in their bedroom has intrigued many for centuries. In fact, the evil eye has been a hot topic in the world of human beliefs and traditions for millennia. Traditionally believed to ward off negative energy, jealousy and bad luck, the evil eye is often seen as a protective charm. From Greece and Turkey to India and the Middle East, humans believe in the evil eye and its protection from all things negative. The symbol, in most cases, is of a blue eye pendant, bracelet, or wall-hanging that individuals have in their homes, workplaces, or wear on themselves. In this guide, we spoke to Vaisshnavi Gupta, Founder of Nakshtra, Astrologer, Tarot Reader, Crystal Healer, Vastu Expert about keeping evil eye in our bedrooms. Not only did she elaborate on the significance but also revealed the mistakes to avoid, the correct placement and many other things. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your personal space remains calm, peaceful, and protected. Should You Place An Evil Eye In Your Bedroom?Vaisshnavi says, “Yes, you can place an evil eye in your bedroom, but it should be positioned thoughtfully. Traditionally, the evil eye is most powerful when kept at entry points such as the main door, living room, or near the gate to deflect negative energy as it enters the home. If kept in the bedroom, it should be placed near a window or on a side wall so it can symbolically guard the space, but it should never be hung directly above the bed. The idea is to allow the charm to act as a protective shield without disturbing the balance or creating discomfort in a restful space.” Do’s And Don’ts Of Keeping An Evil EyeDo’s: Make sure you place the evil eye at the entrance of your home, in the living room, in the bedroom, or in professional spaces like an office to invite positivity and safeguard from negativity. Dont’s: Do not keep the evil eye hidden away in a drawer or behind clutter. It needs visibility. Only this way, it can absorb the negative vibrations. Avoid keeping broken or damaged pieces, as they are believed to lose their power. Don’t overcrowd the space with too many protective symbols in one spot, as it can disrupt the energy rather than harmonise it. Who Should Avoid Having It?While the evil eye is generally harmless, individuals with strict religious beliefs or those who do not resonate with the concept of symbolic protection may want to avoid keeping it in their home. Some people may feel uncomfortable by the concept of bringing spiritual objects into their homes, especially if it conflicts with their faith or practices. Does It Really Work?If we speak from a scientific perspective, there is no proven evidence that the evil eye directly “works.” However, if you think from a cultural, psychological and spiritual perspective, it has a strong impact. There are many reports of people feeling more protected and positive with the evil eye present in their environment. This sense of security can have a direct impact on the stress that people experience. It is important to understand that the evil eye is a symbol of protection and it is prominent in many cultures worldwide. It is believed to “bounce back” the jealous, envy and even harmful intentions, that people hold against you. Psychologically speaking, it gives people a sense of safety and emotional balance. Spiritually, it is associated with harmony, peace of mind and the idea of creating a safe space that shields your family from negativity.
