Hi all,

I'm currently doing DM twice a day and maybe this realization comes from a rise in inner silence, I don't know.

Let me explain. A question has been bugging me lately. I noticed that I have never really looked at people directly into their eyes. I rather look at a point located near the middle of their face. I also read online that some people do this because of several reasons: autism, ADHD, social anxiety, ...

Anyway, my question is: where do you look at when you talk to someone? Do you look straight into their eyes, and switch eyes regularly, or do you look at a general point in the middle of their face or in between their eyes?

Since having this realization, I have tried actually looking directly into people's eyes when talking to them, and a couple of times I've noticed a surged of energy around the back and sides of my head. And I started becoming dizzy. How weird is that? Is that related to crown chakra activation?

Cheers

Looking directly is intimate, and if you are purifying from disciplined practice, tingles on the back of the skull is a sign your shushumna is open, and not necessarily crown activation. There are many reasons not to engage direct eye contact, one needs to read the room. If you pair your direct eye contact with an upturned mouth, you most likely will get a smile or greeting in return.

It is entirely proper to concentrate on their third eye, if direct eye contact feels uncomfortable. As we purify, we need to pay particular attention (witness) the purity of our intentions and actions.

@Dogboy - says who?

Making eye contact is a necessary part of a conversation. Staring into someone's eyes may render the other person uncomfortable (or the opposite).

I make eye-contact with so many strangers (I work at an airport) and the result is they beam back at me. It is a delight shared.

Last week, I was traveling. I went through security of a large airport, the body-scan went off indicting I must have had something metallic on me. I looked at the security personnel straight in the eye. He beamed and waved me on.

Thanks guys.

@Sey: When you say 'making eye contact', does it mean that you look into one eye or the other (or switch between the two), or that you look at both at the same time?
