You’re just minding your own business, doing your usual thing, when all of a sudden, your face starts burning up out of nowhere. It feels like they’re on fire! But what could it possibly mean?
Well, there are a few old wives’ tales and spiritual explanations people have come up with over the years. Let me tell you what I’ve heard about hot cheeks and what they could symbolize from a more mystical perspective.
Spiritual Meaning
From a spiritual perspective, when your cheeks burn, it can be a sign that someone who cares about you is thinking of you. The idea is that cheeks are where we typically kiss to express affection, so a burning sensation could mean a loved one far away has you on their mind.
On the other hand, if your ears are ringing, it may indicate that someone is talking about you. After all, ears are connected to listening. A ringing left ear is thought to represent someone speaking kindly of you, since the left side relates to the heart. But a ringing right ear could mean gossip or negative chatter.
When it comes to cheek sensations, some believe a burning left cheek means someone who loves you romantically is thinking of you. In contrast, a warm right cheek might signify an enemy or ex has you on the brain.
Superstitions
There’s an old superstition that explains that burning feeling. It originated in Russia hundreds of years ago, and people still believe it today. The idea is that when your face is on fire, it means someone who cares about you is thinking about you in that very moment. It could be a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a secret admirer you don’t even know about yet!
Interestingly, if it’s just one cheek, it’s supposedly a friend or someone close to you. But if both cheeks are lava-hot, watch out because, apparently, it means someone has the hots for you! The stronger the burn, the shyer the person who has you on their mind.
During the Middle Ages, people thought your body was deeply connected to the spiritual realm. People would get random feelings, like their cheeks suddenly burning up, and take it as a sign something was happening elsewhere.
Cheeks are a spot where you usually get kissed (or slapped.) So if your cheeks felt hot for no reason, they figured it meant someone far away was either thinking about you or chatting about you.
How To Tell Who’s Thinking of You
If you’re interested in spirituality, you likely know that everything is connected in some way. So when your cheeks suddenly feel warm, see if you can connect the dots on why that may be.
Think back – were you recently thinking about a certain someone? Or did you use the same name multiple times recently without realizing? If not, did you notice any recurring numbers around that time? For example, if you keep seeing the number 8 pop up, remember that H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. It could be a sign someone whose name starts with H is thinking about you.
Another great approach is to consciously think about the people you know. From a spiritual perspective, at that moment, you became a receiver – you received the energy someone else (your twin flame, soulmate, lover..) was directing towards you. But once you start thinking about them too, you reflect that energy back.
Give it a try – when you consciously think of that person, your warm cheeks should fade away as you’ve now returned their energy. Pay attention to your intuition and surroundings for any other unusual signs.
