They say that one cannot sit in front of him for a long time, since it takes up not only negative energy, but also positive energy, especially if you look into your eyes. It is believed that women age earlier than men because they never pass by their image in the mirror.
Hundreds and thousands of superstitions are associated with mirrors. The Spaniards believe that by hanging mirrors on the shoulders of young children, they will save them from evil glances. Among Indians, Tajiks and Persians, a wedding ceremony is known, when the bride and groom must look in the same mirror, so that the connection of mirror doubles strengthens the earthly marriage.

“Legends say that ancient mirrors contain the souls of everyone who looked in them. If the mirror keeps the reflection of an evil person or saw a murder scene, then it itself becomes evil. Such a mirror is always cold to the touch, church candles are extinguished in front of it, and it can bring trouble to the new owner, right up to his death. This mirror needs to be broken, and this is the only way to get rid of the curse that it contains."
They believe that damage can be done through a mirror. If any person looks in your mirror with wishes for evil, then these wishes can come true. That is, the mirror will become a kind of storage and emitter of negative energy. It is known that Ivan the Terrible ordered his wife only those mirrors that were made by the blind, so as not to be jinxed or damaged.
However, they also get rid of damage with the help of a mirror. If you hang it in the room where guests gather, then it will take away all evil for itself. Then the mirror should be cleaned as long as it is only a storage device and not an emitter. We recommend cleaning with cold water.

Paracelsus used them to heal people. And today many fortune tellers and sorcerers successfully use mirrors to heal the sick. They recommend putting the mirror in the sun for a couple of hours, then going up to it and whispering: - "Mirror, mirror, take my diseases, give me the ray of the sun." Stand for 5-10 minutes, then wipe the magic item with holy water and close with an opaque cloth.
Surprisingly, scientists have been able to prove that such rituals have a scientific explanation. It turned out that mirrors coated with warm-colored metals (bronze, brass, gold, copper) absorb cold, oppressive energy flows and reflect warm, sunny ones. Cold-tone metals work the other way around. So a conspiracy in front of a mirror sprayed with brass, if it does not cure to the end, will bring significant relief.
To give your eyes a rest after long sessions on the computer or watching TV, ophthalmologists suggest using a lighted candle, behind which a mirror is placed at a distance of 5-10 centimeters.

As a result, the muscles of the eye are relieved, the pressure inside the eyeball is normalized, and vision is dramatically improved.
