Dang - I remember looking at this thread as I was getting ready for Burning Man and meant to come back and post a few. After all - I started the tribe so one might imagine I have a few ideas!

Especially since I teach a class in Eye Gazing as well!

Here are a few ideas:

Exercise 1:
Set a timer for 20-30 minutes or some predetermined length of time. Sit across from your partner and hold hands. Both of you close your eyes. When you feel calm and centered squeeze you partners hands. Once both of you have indicated your readiness open your eyes and connect. If either of you looks away or either of you closes your eyes for longer than a blink then both of you close your eyes and you recenter. Once you are recentered begin the process again. Always look into just one eye as much as possible - back and forth eye gazing lessens the energy and can be distracted. Preferably look into the dominant eye (see dominant eye exercise.)

You may end up with multiple short (but hopefully increasing length) eye gazing sessions or you may have one big long one or several fairly long ones.

Exercise 2
Find your dominant eye as follows: Hold up one finger at arms length. Align it with an object across the room. First close one eye and then the other. Your finger will jump either a lot or a little when you close one eye. The eye that is open when it jumps the least is your dominant eye. This is the eye that you primarily see out of and thus is the window to your soul.

Exerise 3
Group exercise - Connect individually with someone for a few moments. Share deep connection and thank each other. You can add in several ideas of one way sharing as well. One person shares something - what they see in the other person, what they are feeling right now, gratitude about something, etc. The other person only receives and says "Thank you."

I've probably got a few more if I think about it but need to sleep now.

Enjoy!

I'm here, MJ. (Aren't I always?!)

I don't have that ability, but it sounds intriguing. How would you describe it, and what "feeds" it? (voice, vibe, meditation while near the person,...)
