Imagine spending a day without speaking whilst in the presence of others—all of you communicating wordlessly. No, you cannot use your hands, either … only the eyes. Do you think you could communicate? Far better than you might imagine. You have so many ways of communicating now. You deride your younger ones for using their texts instead of the voice, when, in fact, all of you have so turned off the greatest sensing organ you have—the human energy field—that you have become quite deaf. Turn it back on by tuning in. It begins with the heart and in the silence listen, feel, and know.
Years ago we had a team building session where the leader took participants through an exercise similar to this. We could only communicate through our eyes after partnering up. It was very hard for some people and became openly emotional for a few. It’s hard to hide your feelings when looking deeply into someone’s eyes-the window of the soul? Brad
Very well said, Brad.
Eye contact and a smile go a long way when out in public.
