Eye contact plays a big role in how we connect with others, helping us pick up on emotions and recognize faces. [1]

Recent studies found that looking into someone's eyes activates specific brain areas involved in vision and social understanding. They discovered that eye contact boosts connections between these regions, helping us pick up on each other's intentions during conversation.

This is important because it shows how crucial eye contact is in communication, especially for people who might struggle with social interactions, like those with autism or schizophrenia.

So today, let’s really set a clear intention for communicating not just with words, or hugs, but also with our eyes.

Your Sacred Connection Workout 💪

Soft Tone and Kind Eyes

It’s kind of simple. Really take the time to consider how MUCH you can communicate with your eyes.

1. If you were to believe, that you could communicate authentic caring and loving with your eyes, how might you use more kind eye connection in…
   1. The supermarket / gym / park
   2. At work
   3. At home
   4. With your spouse
   5. With your children
   6. With your animals
   7. With yourself in the mirror
2. Now set a clear intention for your own eye contact experiment. Complete this sentence and feel it in your heart: I am communicating ____ and ____ with my eyes just a little more today. I am a messenger of ____ and _____. For example… I am communicating softness and warm with my eyes… I am a messenger of fun and support.
