A watch as a gift: can you give it and how to choose the right one?

The ancient pagan tradition of giving gifts on holidays, on anniversaries, as a sign of love and friendship, has led to the emergence of many signs, legends and mystical rituals. In print and on the Internet, you can find voluminous scientific works and even dissertations about the influence of gifts on the fate, health and life of a person. Scientists have a lot of heated debates around ordinary clocks.

It is always pleasant to make a gift and, paying tribute to the ancient pagan tradition, on the eve of an anniversary or a solemn event in the life of a loved one, each of us goes to the store to buy a present for the holiday. As a guideline, information obtained during a covert conversation with the hero of the day on the topic of a gift or wishes openly expressed by him is usually used.

Even after a frank conversation about a birthday present, not everything is so simple, especially if the hero of the day wanted to receive a watch as a gift. The problem is not finding the right model at an affordable price. There are many bad superstitions and signs associated with the "ticking gift".

Students in the study of logic are often offered the following problem to build a synthetic chain of statements: “The clock and calendar measure time intervals. A person cannot change the course of time by an effort of will. Human life is the span of time from life to death. How to prolong a person's life ”?

The Internet plays an important role in stirring up hysteria around the negative energy of watches. By typing in a Google search engine the query "superstition gift watches", you can "dig up" about half a million links, confirming the worst assumptions. Homegrown followers of the blind Vanga and modern "certified psychics" in their posts on the Internet offer a wide variety of methods for dealing with bad energy emanating from "modern chronometers" and methods of protecting the aura for men and women for big money.

For men psychics and healers advise:

• to neutralize the harmful field, buy and constantly wear a magnetic or silver bracelet on your hand;
• put a glass of water on the table next to the chronometer;
• cover the ticking gift with a white cloth at night;
• take out all the clocks, except the alarm clock, from the living room to the kitchen at night;
• buy a piece of amber or rock crystal and put it next to the clock;
• burn incense in the room in which there is a gift or saturate the air with ozone;
• periodically invite a clergyman to perform rituals in a room with a clock.

Wise counselors offer women:

• buy costume jewelry with a "cat's eye", amber or rock crystal and constantly wear it around the neck;
• conduct a ritual with water and wax candles to "cleanse" the bad energy of the gift;
• put a round mirror under the clock on the table.

The family and friends of the hero of the day are recommended to protect themselves from the unwanted effects of a bad aura. put incense on every windowsill, a few pine or spruce branches, paper or cotton wool with a few drops of fir oil, eucalyptus oil, or a round mirror. Gift hours for your second half (wife or husband) should be chosen taking into account personal preferences and taste. An engraved congratulation on the case or a monogram will emphasize the depth of feelings and respect.

Each of us is familiar with classic superstitions from early childhood:

• hearing a clock in an empty room is a sign of imminent death;
• knots on a handkerchief improve memory;
• throw a coin into the sea - for good luck;
• a black cat crossed the road - to failure;
• "Monday is a hard day";
• "The thirteenth is a fatal number";
• lucky number of the ticket for travel - luck that day at work;
• a woman with an empty bucket - to poverty and misfortune;
• a stolen gift of the second half - to parting.

and many others.

The topic of the connection between watches and negative energy, actively discussed on the Internet, imperceptibly penetrates into our consciousness and gradually suppresses logical thinking and common sense, producing a substitution of concepts at the mention of a watch. Instead of sound logic and attempts to find out the true state of affairs, a person begins to blindly believe in the received installation: "A watch as a gift is the reason for failures in personal life and deterioration in health."

In the presence of a number of somatic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, vascular spasms, a previous heart attack or stroke), at the mere thought of such a gift in the light of predictions and the hysteria swelling around the clock, a sharp deterioration in health can occur. Psychologists say that most superstitions "work" at the subconscious level according to the principle of self-hypnosis. According to the collected statistics, in different age groups (from 18 to 60 years old) the suggestibility of mentally healthy people is about 75%.

This figure was obtained in the course of an experiment, for which volunteers of different ages were invited. Each subject was given a plumb line in his right hand (a thread with a metal ball, weighing about 50 grams, attached to the end) and asked to hold it in a suspended state in a relaxed hand.

All subjects were in clear consciousness, without being immersed in a hypnotic trance. To exclude a subjective moment during the experiment, the subjects were not allowed to look at a thread with a suspended weight and talk. At the very beginning of the experiment, a psychologist from the next room through an open door asked the question "Who feels that the load on the string begins to rotate in a circle?" After that, in about 70% of the subjects, the ball began to make subtle circular movements around the vertical axis. The subjects themselves claimed that at this moment they felt like some unknown force controlled their hand.

NLP specialists use self-hypnosis when coding for success. Having received a speech setting for the development and improvement of the personality during a session of suggestion without hypnotic trance, the human brain begins to work more productively and makes fewer logical errors in the process of logical analysis and prediction of complex and confusing life situations. The processing of incoming information becomes systematic, consistent and accurate.

The empirical analysis of complex situations is improving (when it is impossible to get complete information for thought beforehand). The number of hasty and thoughtless decisions is sharply reduced - a person becomes successful in work and in personal life.

Waking up in the morning before a responsible interview, a difficult exam or the first working day in a new place, you need to relax, look at the clear sky, look for familiar images and figures among the clouds, take a walk in the park or square. You can not focus your thoughts on a stopped alarm clock, bad feelings and dreams the day before, suddenly torn laces or lack of hot water supply; no particular importance should be attached to trifles and accidents.

When choosing a watch for a gift to your girlfriend, one subtle nuance should be taken into account - women love with eyes and ears. Most often, girls do not pay attention to the price of a gift, the main thing for them is the form and content. It must be remembered that accepting a gift, they always notice and subconsciously analyze small and seemingly insignificant details, attaching great importance to them. Sensitive and vulnerable young girls, in search of psychological protection from future difficult life situations, read Tarot cards, coffee grounds, wax, study dream books, study superstitions and omens.

Unlike women, most men have an analytical mindset - they are almost not interested in signs and predictions. Male emotions and feelings are always very well hidden and almost invisible in the process of communication.

There is a huge variety of gift chronometer models:

• Floor standing with weights. A massive polished case, copper weights and a resounding beat, reminiscent of New Year's Chimes every hour, emphasize the solidity and seriousness of the owner. They give such massive gifts, as a rule, to retired leaders and veterans.

• With a cuckoo. A small plastic case with a spring or weight mechanism, an opening door and a shelf with a plastic or metal cuckoo protruding from the depth of the case.

• Tabletop. A huge selection of colors and models will allow you to choose the right option for any furniture and interior.

• Wrist. They are a kind of visiting card of a person. About 80% of modern models of wristwatches are powered by batteries. A wide range of shockproof, quartz and mechanical hand chronometers.

• Wall mounted. They emphasize the comfort of home. A variety of cases and colors will allow you to choose an option for every taste and for any interior.

• Sandy. Designed for accurate counting of time intervals (1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes). Represents two connected flasks with a narrow neck. After turning the body over, the sand flows from one flask to another.

• Quartz. The most popular model, which looks like a regular watch with a spring. They are powered by a battery. Simple device and repair.

• Electronic. A good gift for those who keep up with the times and do not like to wind the watch every morning. LCD indicator and backlighting will create all the convenience for the user.

• Souvenir. Large selection of exotic and retro style models. Designed for purchase as a presentation. Quite eccentric in shape and style.

• Mechanical. Traditional clocks in the style of the late 20th century. Suitable as a gift for lovers of antiquity and conservatives.

Given the unfavorable superstitious interpretation of the watch as a gift some points must be observed:

• if the person who is presented with a gift believes in omens or is fond of the occult, ask him for a coin instead of the chronometer, so it turns out that he bought a watch for a meager fee;
• young people can be given a watch with a built-in radio, video projector, thermometer, hygrometer or barometer.
• lovers of antiquity will delight the massive grandfather clock with striking.
• It is best for the hero of the day to present a watch with a plate on which the engraver wrote warm and tender congratulations and wishes.

The main computer of the human body (its brain) and the most complex electromagnetic and biochemical processes occurring in it in the process of memorizing and processing information, still remain a secret behind seven seals.

The mechanism of influence disclosed by science will be accepted and superstition is realized through suggestive influence on a person, self-hypnosis and self-hypnosis. These conclusions follow from the theory of the outstanding physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov. They have nothing to do with omens, superstitions, occultism, fields unknown to science and the action of supernatural forces.

The average statistical coincidence of superstitions with real events does not exceed 0.1%, which indicates that there is no connection between the phenomena under study. Despite the huge budgetary costs, so far no irrefutable evidence has been found that can unequivocally confirm or refute the connection between accept and superstition with current events.An exception is the influence of a person on the events taking place under the influence of suggestive or hypnotic suggestion.
