I followed your Covid thread. I just got over it as well…actually still dealing with the cough and no taste or smell. Enough of that…
Regarding your question, my approach tends toward the proactive. I place mirrors opposite all doors and make sure they are spotless. They reflect any bad energy coming in when the door opens. My grandmother swore by this. My mother always told me it was crazy and my grandmother was as well…which she was not. I have used mirrors for this purpose for decades.
I also keep a string of brass bells at my front door. They’re beautiful and people always comment on them…I’ve purchased each one for almost nothing through the years. My grandmother called them witch bells…she hung hers on a black ribbon, as do I, because black is a shielding and protective color. Because of the vibratory nature of bells they are an extremely effective form of spiritual cleansing. The sound of a bell continues to resonate far beyond the time that you can actually hear it. You can use individual bells throughout your home…keep them clean and leave them in random places…ring them when you walk by.
I guess my thoughts on bad luck is that it doesn’t last if you don’t give it much energy…see it, acknowledge it and be reminded that it too will pass. Breathe through it and invite positive energy by focusing on it when it happens… no matter how small…be it a beautiful sunset, a good night’s sleep or your favorite song on the radio…those bits of life’s loveliness are magic by themselves and they make us feel good. When we feel good, that other stuff loses its power.
Feel better soon. ❤️
