Amazing Eye-Gazing

Lately, during a training, I had a surprisingly powerful experience of eye-gazing. As I held my partner’s gaze with soft yet full attention I felt transported, taken back to a place in time in which we had known each other intimately and fully trusted each other’s heart. It was a feeling of intense soul recognition and deep connection.

And yet I had only just met this person. At least here on Earth! 🌍 

They say that the eyes are the mirror to the soul and it’s true that when we gaze into a loved one’s eyes we can see so much more of them. 

Tantric practices usually begin by kneeling in front of your partner, holding hands and spending time looking into each other’s eyes. 

It can make you feel a bit shy or uncomfortable even at first and yet when you relax and melt into the experience you discover a form of intimacy which transcends words and which you long to have more and more of.

Whilst eye gazing, it is interesting to observe the moments in which you feel like you are the one seeing into your partner and also noticing when you are feeling seen by him/her/them. It can also be insightful to notice when you are energetically opening or closing during this process. 

What about trying this out with your partner? Or a friend? Or even with yourself in the mirror?
