Why you shouldn't throw away old pillows: what the signs say and how to do the right thing

We use pillows for many hours every day, which is why they regularly fail and need to be replaced. Folk superstition says that you can't just throw away an old thing. It is believed that due to such proximity to the body and prolonged contact, the pillow absorbs the energy of its owner.

OBOZREVATEL looked into the details of the superstition. And tells you how to properly get rid of pillows from the point of view of esotericism.

Why pillows should be neither stored nor thrown away

It is while lying on a pillow that we see all our dreams, including prophetic ones. The pillow also becomes a witness to the most intimate thoughts and dreams, the most ambitious plans. At the same time, it accumulates not only positive but also negative energy, which means that you should not keep the item after its service life has expired.

It's not a good idea to just throw a pillow in the trash. After all, in this way, a thing energetically connected to a person can be subject to an evil eye. For example, through the lining. Thus, seeds or cereals thrown into a pillow can lead to a divorce or ruin, and a needle without an eye can ruin your health.

What to do with an old pillow

The best way to get rid of something that has served its purpose is to burn it. Fire purifies, including erasing all energy traces. Therefore, the ashes that remain will no longer contain anything that connected the person with the pillow.

If for some reason the burning option does not suit you, you can use water. Rinse the pillow well under running water, dry it, and then take it to the trash. In this case, it should be dried in the sun - it will be a kind of equivalent of burning.

Esotericists also advise to immediately get rid of those pillows in which you find a foreign object. Such a pillow must be burned. But this should be done at a considerable distance from the house, so that even the smoke does not reach the house.
