You Don’t Know What Gaslighting Means
Gaslighting is a term that’s become almost ubiquitous in our cultural lexicon. You’ve likely heard it used in casual conversation, online forums, or maybe even in therapy, but the truth is that most people don’t fully understand what gaslighting is or how it operates in relationships. It’s easy to mistake it for a trivial disagreement or an occasional argument, but gaslighting is much more insidious. It’s emotional manipulation with the intent to undermine your reality, making you doubt your thoughts, memories, and perceptions.

MUDRAS
Various symbolic postures involving the fingers, eyes, and body can vividly depict different states or processes of consciousness. Mudras engage specific areas of the brain, exerting corresponding influences on them. By bending, crossing, extending, or touching the fingers, we can effectively engage and influence both our body and mind. The Origin of Mudras The origin of mudras remains a mystery. Mudras are not limited to Asia; they are used worldwide in various rituals. European ancestors, for example, employed specific gestures to emphasize and affirm their thoughts and intentions. During the Christianization of the Nordic peoples, many gestures, such as raising arms to invoke the gods, were initially prohibited. Later, some of these gestures were partially integrated into Christian practices. Observing the gestures of a priest during Mass offers insight into how ancient peoples expressed themselves. Even today, everyday gestures like crossing fingers for luck, clapping hands in applause, shaking hands, holding hands, or making offensive gestures carry meanings whose origins are often unknown.
