Tactile contact between loving people is of great importance. Kisses and hugs replace hundreds of words, perfectly conveying feelings. But, protecting their union, lovers are often guided by irrational omens.
For example, there is a belief that you cannot kiss your loved one in the eyes. We propose to figure out why the omen appeared and where its roots lie.
The sign that prohibits a kiss in the eyes applies only to lovers, but does not in any way affect the relationship between parents and children
Why can't you kiss your loved ones in the eyes?
It is generally accepted that a kiss in the eyes is associated with death. Indeed, the tradition of touching the corolla on the forehead of the deceased with the lips appeared only under Christianity. Our pagan ancestors, saying goodbye to the deceased, touched their closed eyelids with their lips, thereby indicating that the soul of this person had left the world of the living.
Considering that the eyes are an organ of vision, it can be assumed that such a gesture symbolized a kind of farewell to the visual image of a loved one.
Superstitious people explain the ban on kissing in the eye in two versions. According to the first of them, a gesture resembling farewell to the deceased can draw the attention of death to a living person. Of course, you won't be able to pick him up before the allotted time. But in this case, the person will be haunted by troubles, illnesses and misfortunes. According to the second version, a kiss in the eyes is fraught with an early separation of lovers.
I must say that many esotericists have their own opinion about the meaning of a kiss in the eye. According to them, such a gesture is an expression of the highest degree of intimacy, unity of souls.
Anatomically, the eyes are associated with ajna, the sixth chakra, which is responsible for creativity, emotion and intuition. This area is especially sensitive, it easily absorbs both positive and negative. Therefore, it is possible to harm through touching it if negative energy is put into the gesture.
The sign that prohibits a kiss in the eyes applies only to lovers, but does not in any way affect the relationship between parents and children. It is generally accepted that mom or dad are under no circumstances capable of wishing harm to their own child.
Other superstitions associated with kissing
The eyelids are not the only part of the head that superstitious people do not recommend kissing. Here are some of the prejudices associated with kissing:
- To kiss a person on the forehead to his imminent death – indeed, with such a gesture they say goodbye to the deceased. Such a kiss is also called fatherly, that is, there is something patronizing in it, it is unlikely that such a feeling is appropriate for an adult.
- You can't often kiss a child on the back of the head, he will become disobedient – the constant demonstration of maternal custody really develops selfishness in his beloved child. Therefore, the recommendation for moms should be heeded.
- A kiss on the nose can deprive a person of good luck and health – such a sign is common in some eastern countries. Considering that at the time when superstition was born, the organ of smell was considered sacred, touching it could be regarded as a desire to deprive a person of higher protection.
A kiss on the lips is perhaps the only one that is not subject to superstition. If we talk about its significance for the relationship between a woman and a man, then it symbolizes passion, sensuality.
All other gestures are rather friendly, innocent. Perhaps our ancestors saw in the touching of the lips of the eyelids or nose as a hint of cooling to a partner, which promises an early separation.
Modern psychologists adhere to a radically opposite opinion, believing that such touches serve as an expression of the greatest trust, care for a loved one. According to them, light touches of the face with their lips are used just to demonstrate the seriousness and depth of feelings.
Believe it or not the omens is a private matter for everyone. However, where true feelings are present, serious passions always flare up, which can lead to separation. In order not to regret what happened, wondering why we broke up, do not hesitate to sincerely express your love, including through a variety of kisses.
