In everyday conversations across India, nazar slips in effortlessly. A headache after praise, a setback after a good phase, a sense that someone’s jealousy has reached you. Remedies follow just as easily: black threads, lemons, chillies, salt, and rituals. Sister Shivani offers a different perspective. She doesn’t deny the role of energy but shifts the focus inward. According to her, fear gives nazar its power, while inner stability dissolves it. When self-worth and awareness are steady, external negativity loses its hold, restoring calm and inner authority.

Nazar doesn’t descend; it resonates
In multiple talks shared on her official YouTube channel, Sister Shivani explains a simple but powerful idea: nazar cannot affect a soul that is stable in its own energy. It is not something that “falls” on you from outside. It only connects when there is resonance.
In her words, if ten people think negatively about you, but a hundred think well, including you, their thoughts do not overpower your state of mind. The deciding factor is not what others are thinking. It is what you are thinking and feeling about yourself in that moment.
Energy meets energy
Sister Shivani often explains this using the language of vibration. Every soul carries a frequency shaped by thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Jealousy, comparison, insecurity, and fear lower that frequency. Peace, self-respect, trust, and stability raise it.
Nazar, she says, can only “touch” when two energies meet at the same level. If someone looks at you with jealousy but you remain grounded, calm, and internally secure, there is no meeting point. Nothing transfers. Fear is what opens the door.
Why fear strengthens nazar
One of the most striking points she makes is this: constantly worrying about nazar gives it power. When the mind keeps thinking, something bad will happen; it creates vulnerability. Not because the other person is powerful but because the self has stepped out of protection. She often reminds listeners that believing I am weak and others can harm me with their thoughts is itself a disempowering belief.
Protection through the supreme
Instead of external fixes, Sister Shivani emphasises internal alignment. She repeatedly encourages remembrance of the Supreme, a higher, benevolent power that the soul connects with through awareness and meditation. When the mind is anchored in the thought, I am protected by the Supreme, fear dissolves. And when fear dissolves, nazar loses relevance.
This is not blind faith. It is a psychological and spiritual grounding. A stable inner state acts like insulation. Negative thoughts from outside do not penetrate.
When praise and criticism coexist
Another subtle insight she shares is deeply practical. In real life, praise and criticism always coexist. The moment something good happens, opinions multiply. If life depended on controlling others’ thoughts, peace would never be possible. Instead, she asks a gentler question: Which voices are you allowing to define your reality? When self-worth comes from within, external opinions, positive or negative, lose their power to disturb.
Rituals versus responsibility
Sister Shivani does not openly dismiss cultural practices. But she redirects focus. If rituals calm the mind temporarily, they may help. But lasting protection, she says, comes from inner cleanliness, pure thoughts, emotional discipline, and spiritual awareness. A calm mind is the strongest shield.
Where she says this
These teachings appear across several of her discourses available on the official Brahma Kumaris YouTube channel, where she speaks extensively about thought energy, emotional boundaries, fear, and spiritual self-protection. Her explanations on nazar, jealousy, and energy exchange are woven into talks on self-respect, consciousness, and inner power rather than presented as superstition-focused content.
The quiet shift
Sister Shivani’s message does not ask people to fight nazar. It asks them to outgrow it. When the mind stands steady, supported by self-awareness and connection to the Supreme, fear fades. And what no longer has fear feeding it slowly loses its hold. In that state, nazar stops being something to guard against and becomes something that simply cannot reach.
