Shakun and ApshakunOmens from the body
Eye twitching, itching palm, sneezing and more
Body omens are the most commonly mentioned in everyday talk. They are usually given in pairs for the right and the left side and for men and women, and the pairs differ between regions. A twitching eye is most often only a tired muscle; a doctor should be consulted if it goes on for weeks.
