BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality New Age Anyone else felt this way?

In my life there have been a few times that have been unfortunately particularly bad moments.

Sometimes afterward, items that I was wearing, seem to hold onto that energy and I just never wore them again.

This happened with a favorite shirt years ago. I would wear it at least once a week. Then I was falsely accused of something and questioned by police at my line of work. Every time I looked at the shirt after that I put it down again. I never wore it again, in fact I couldn't even tell you where it is now, I probably gave it away.

Same with a pair of earrings now. I wore them when I quit my job a few weeks ago. Until just recently I just couldn't wear them.

This time instead of packing them away ('cuz they're really cute!) I left them out so they could "air out" the bad vibes.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

I sure do feel the same way.

If some items can carry good karma others can certainly have bad karma.

I don't think I consciously have, but it makes sense. If you truly would like to wear the items again, you might try smudging them with sage to get rid of the "bad vibes." Or, when you wash them, also imagine all of the "bad vibes" getting swirled away with the spin cycle.

Hi Wendy

I do believe objects hold vibrations. I know they do- when I've done psychometry I've been able to work things out by holding objects- even identifying exactly what they are through an envelope. For example I got a feeling of joy holding an envelope with tickets for a gospel choir evening. Some of this will be my guides helping me out, but I think some comes direct from the object.

Metal and crystals hold onto vibration strongly, as do the stones we build our houses from, but even clothes can hold energy. It's best to wash clothes straight away if something bad happens whilst wearing them (get indoors first!!). Cleanse jewellery well- my article should help:
Cleansing Your Crystals

Some of the energy is your own personal connection with the event, the object reminds you of it & you then send out thought patterns that bring similar situations. If things evoke bad memories for you toss them out or give them away to someone who won't have the same associations.

Hope this helps!

Oh I definitely smudge often, I also use the full or waxing moon and candles.

If was a random question for the populous.
