A few weeks ago, I was killing time in Hot Topic with a couple of friends and looking for possible new elements for my outfits. We walked around a bit and later stopped by a jewelry rack while my friend Dee changed in the dressing room. As we checked out different necklaces we couldn't help but notice the strong feelings we got from some of them.

Skeptics may find this next part ridiculous, but if you just want to flame, please don't comment:

My friends and I are what some people call sensitives (in other words, we are more receptive to feeling positive and negative energy.) I'm also trying to learn Reiki, a form of energy healing. Some of the principals deal with energy projection, what I'm about to describe now.

One group of necklaces in particular seemed to be radiating with negative energy, and three of us grouped together and put our hands around the necklaces, envisioning our energy flooding out the negative energies of the necklaces.

Whether it was the symbols the necklaces carried or the way they were made, I don't know. I just know that I'm glad we didn't have to worry about it too much. I'm not going to say what band was on them, because I don't want to give them any propaganda in their name, good or bad.

I know it's hard to believe, but please don't pick me apart for it.

It was a Nirvana necklace, right? I know I feel the life force sucked out of me when they're played on the radio.

Funny siggy But.....what do you mean vibes? Is that like a strange feeling?

People subconciously put energy into just about everything. More so if they are particulary fond of an object. I think it's mildly strange that you felt negative vibes off something in a store. Maybe some of the workers wore them around the store and were putting negative energy into it because they were thinking of how much they hate their job.

Just curious, was it a band you like or don't like?

I'm okay with the music of the band, niether love nor hate them... though I do get the heeby jeebies when I listen to the words - they have very negative connotations.

To me, a good analogy of how I feel about their music is:

Like me with the song "Get Stoned" by Hinder. I am okay with the musical part, pretty good. Not so hot on the lyrics.

It wasn't Nirvana, but I don't like Nirvana at all.

Thank you for the praise for my siggy. I was hoping someone wouldn't think it was something perverted. Too many minds in the gutter, and it's really an innocent spoof of Intelligent Design.

Vibes as in a bad feeling, sort of like first impressions with a person.

I seriously doubt that the store workers wore about 20+ necklaces to get that negative energy into it. It might have been something to do with someone who came along handling them.

oo get stoned now thats a good song not the lyrics i mean you know good uhh music

yeah......

Off Topic:That's not the picture in my sig... I have "Obey Your Noodly Master" but it's all good. I think Maekrix asked about using the same FSM thing in his sig. Just pick a picture and use it as yours too. Spread the word of the noodly master...

Back On Topic: Thank you. I was hoping it would be a good analogy. Sometimes I get bad vibes from some people wearing gear of the same band, but maybe it's their intention, not the power of the band.

I'm more inclined to believe that way (a person rather) than an object giving off certain types of vibes.

Since sometimes when bad things happen and people want a fresh start, they gather old reminders up and give them to charity instead of just dumping them into the garbage.
I think it is possible when objects are rejected with both pain and disgust, if any objects can carry effects from their owners at all for a short period of time.
There is a lot that we do not know about energy patterns.

If an experiement can be affected just by an observer being present, it does open up this possiblitiy and the possiblitity that more observers could alter the initial effect of the first one.

easy for me to believe

imo some mass produced products get a "prayer" or ceremony of sorts to give them that special, something...

I imagine all the majority of those could carry would be gleeful greed

In my experience with "energy" of the type that you are refering to(I believe), I refer back to The First Law of Thermodynamics which states: Energycannot be created or destroyed it only changes from one form to another. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, it's merely changing from one form to another.

Maybe that is all that you were experiencing....a transfer of energy temporarily housed in an inanimate object.

if you get bad vibes than follow the gut feeling , most likely there is something negative around it or the band in general,.. you never know what people are intending with their choices in magical intent or beliefs and if negative is what you get around that necklace you are most likely correct in that for you it is not something to second guess. keep following your instinct. pray for protection if it is in your presence and you cant get away from it or any negative vibe for that matter. in other words i believe you and trust your gut you know what to do. who am i to tell you . your smart enough to tell if something is negative. thats smarter than most.

if you could tell us what band it is we can all stay away from it.

You say you and and your friends are sensitives so what you picked up from the necklace could have been anything to do with its journey before it got to the shop. I don't think that objects can be coded or programed as such to hold a certain energy that it will then carry around, more the energy can be picked up from a residual source of its past exposuer/enviroment/condition. Lets say this particular necklace was manifactured in a 3rd world country in appalling conditions by a poor and stressed workforce or the materials used to produce the necklace were recycled from something ( use imagaination here) I would assume that the kind of necklace you are talking about isn't of great quality is cheap and probaly made from plastics and metal?

You can maybe then begin to see why such a necklace may give off a negitive energy to you. Are these suggestions I raised things that you and friends are sensitive about in any way? as that could certainly add to what you pick up.

As for the band I think it is really silly to start thinking it's something to do with them. It is even more rediculas to start thinking the band should be avoided......If the band in question does happen to have a 'reputation' of some sort remember that most of that gaff is just marketing image crap.....The band will most likely not have a foggy about the existance of these necklaces and will not have come into contact with them. They will have little to do with the buisness side of their marketing products.

I agree with Anvil. Most of the stuff around the band would just be for image and most likely isn't truth.

I don't want to offend anyone, but honestly. it seems as if over active imaginations are working overtime here. Of all places to find something spooky,?"Hot Topic" no less. Hot Topic stores are usually situated inside a mall. I agree with Anvil as far as the band is concerned. If the said band has any sort of controversy around them it is likely all in the sake of marketing. It all sounds a bit far fetched to me. Spooky necklaces from Hot Topic! I think not! Just my oppinion.

I agree completely there.

I have a necklace that my mom wore during a very hard time in her life. When I started wearing it I felt overwhelmed with depression and sadness, but I wore it for a few days,. I told a friend about it who instructed me how to clense it, I did, for several days. Afterward, the necklace felt fine. Clean. No negative energy. I keep the memory of my mom with the necklace, but not the negative residual energy she left in it.
I believe residual energy can be left behind in all kinds of objects, homes, cars even.
The person who made the necklace from Hot Topics may have been in turmoil as she was making it and some of that remained.
