The Spiritual Meaning Behind Breaking Your Glasses

If you're a glasses wearer, have you ever had them break on you when you least expected it? Did an accident leave them shattered, or did they just randomly fall apart? Maybe an instance like that made you switch to contacts, tired of another thing in life that could break at any point.

Though glasses breaking might seem like an innocuous yet bothersome event, they could reveal more about your mental state than you would originally think. The universe is always sending us strange, abstract messages. What could this one mean?

The universe works in many strange and mysterious ways, seeming to cater to each of our unique personal experiences. There are so many ways that you can use these influences to your benefit, but you have to know about them first.

Uncover the secrets to the Law of Attraction, a seemingly cosmic power that allows you to bring whatever it is you desire right to your doorstep. Click here to learn more today and start living the life you've dreamed of.

Shattered Sight

Anyone who's ever worn glasses for an extended period knows that sometimes they just break. It always seems to happen at the worst times, too. A bad drop cracks a lens, they get stepped or sat on after being put down, or an arm snaps right off seemingly at random. It's never convenient, and it's always annoying.

Maybe there's more to it than a surface-level problem, though. The universe is always sending us signs, leading us to ways we change our lives for the better, who's to say this isn't the same? What symbolic meaning could a pair of glasses breaking have?

Broken Lenses

The symbolism behind a broken lens in your glasses most often concerns clarity and perception. When these lenses are compromised, our ability to perceive the world is lost, both literally for those with heavy prescriptions and figuratively for those facing some emotional turmoil in their lives. A lens breaking could be telling you to pause and find a new way to look at your problems, or it could be a reminder that your usual way of seeing things might not be the best or only way.

It can also be a metaphor for the necessity of clear vision in our spiritual and emotional lives. Just as a clear lens allows for precise physical vision, a clear mind and heart enable us to perceive our lives and the decisions we face with greater wisdom and insight. A lens breaking could be a sign that we need to clear away any confusion, fear, or misunderstanding that clouds our judgment.

Broken Frames

Now, your frame breaking has an entirely different meaning. Seeing as the frames are what surround and hold out lenses in place, thus representing the framework within which our perception of reality rests, a snap or break might symbolize a crack in the very foundation of how we've structured our lives. It's often a sudden, jarring sign that we might need to rearrange or reexamine the way we live.

This could mean changing up your routines, cutting out bad habits that weigh you down, or living with your dreams and aspirations at the forefront. Whatever you feel inspired to do might hurt, and it will certainly feel strange, but it's a needed shift that will help you climb out of the rut that you're stuck in.

On A Broad Scope

Glasses breaking, any part of them, is most often an annoyance. Again, especially true for those with stronger prescriptions or thicker lenses. It means that you're unable to see for some time, or maybe you can still technically wear them, but they're very uncomfortable. To have that base sense robbed from you due to a mistake is frustrating.

Even this time, a period without sight can be healing in a way. By living in the blur, you can focus on the self, what you feel inside of your body, instead of what exists outside of it. What parts of your life cause you pain? Where are there blockages, struggles, or concerns? Ironically, not being able to see for a while might provide clarity in other places.

Fixing The Break

Deciding to fix any part of your broken eyeglasses can be seen as a journey toward healing and renewal. Beyond returning your physical ability to see clearly, it's an opportunity to reflect on the aspects of our lives that may have become blurred or out of focus. An act of repair or mending can symbolize a commitment to personal growth, signifying our willingness to address and rectify the areas in our lives that require attention and care.

However, if you decide to just buy new glasses entirely, this can be seen as a commitment to changing a whole section of your life. You're inviting something new in, maybe even changing your style with new frames, ushering in a new era. It feels small at the moment, yes, but one small change can be a catalyst for other, bigger ones. It invites the possibility of transformation into your life, and sometimes, acknowledging that possibility is enough.

Into Focus

Of course, you're still allowed to feel bothered when your glasses break. This type of thinking isn't meant to force you to feel positive all of the time. Instead, it's meant to help you find some silver linings in otherwise tiresome experiences as well as guide you to greater intuitive instincts. Things happen for a reason. What could be the reason behind something like this?

Not to mention that taking the time to slow down and really address anything you might be struggling with is always a worthy endeavor, no matter what sparked it. So, next time you experience something like your glasses unexpectedly breaking, let yourself feel bothered but also see where these feelings lead you. Let an inconvenience help you solve other, bigger problems in your life. From small issues can come great change.
