Can a mirror really tell you who’s secretly thinking about you?
Thousands of women on TikTok and Reddit claim there’s one specific mirror ritual to reveal who thinks of you, and it’s giving them more than goosebumps—it’s triggering real messages, calls, even reconciliations.
It’s part energy shift, part spiritual hack—and people say it works.
The Mirror Trick: What Is It?
It’s simple.
You sit alone in a dim room with a mirror, ideally lit by candlelight. You make eye contact with yourself and repeat:
“Show me the one whose thoughts are tied to mine.”
Then, you wait.
Some people claim they see a face flash in the mirror. Others feel a name “drop” into their head like a whisper. Many report they receive a text or message within 48 hours.
How to Perform the Mirror Ritual
What You’ll Need:
- A quiet room
- A mirror (any size)
- One candle or low light
- 5–10 minutes of uninterrupted time
Step-by-Step:
- Sit calmly and take 3 deep breaths
- Light your candle and place it near the mirror
- Make direct eye contact with your reflection
- Say clearly: “Reveal the one whose energy is tied to me.”
- Observe your thoughts, sensations, images
- End the ritual by saying “I release what I now know.”

What Happens After
“I did it as a joke. Within two hours, my ex from three years ago sent me a ‘just thinking about you’ text.” — Reddit user u/mirrorveil
“I saw someone in my reflection—not me. I swear it looked like my coworker, who confessed feelings a week later.” — TikTok comment @moonwitchvibes
Many who try the ritual report:
- A sense of energetic release
- Dreaming about the person that night
- Unexpected communication from a specific individual
Is it a coincidence? Or did the energy shift send a signal?
Why Does It Work?
Spiritualists believe mirrors act as portals for the subconscious and energetic world.
Psychologically, the act of focused attention and intention primes your brain to recognize signs or patterns related to the person already in your orbit.
“It’s not magic—it’s energetic alignment. You focus on connection, and your awareness pulls it in.” — @empathcoachjen
When NOT to Do This Ritual
Avoid the mirror ritual if:
- You’re emotionally unstable or deeply heartbroken
- You’re obsessing over someone toxic
- You don’t feel safe being alone with your thoughts
This practice is about clarity—not control or obsession.
Alternate Ritual: Water Under the Pillow
If the mirror feels too intense, try this:
- Fill a glass of water and set it beside your bed
- Whisper the name of the person you’re curious about
- Sleep with intention to dream of them
Many report vivid dreams or morning “gut knowing.”
Final Thoughts
The mirror ritual to reveal who thinks of you might feel silly—or spooky. But for many, it’s sparked real connections and eerie synchronicities.
Whether it’s magic, intuition, or manifestation, one thing is certain:
When you look into the mirror with true focus…
Something does look back.
