    IMPORTANCE OF
    EYE CONTACT
    Our "EYES" are a very important aspect of the non-
    verbal signals that we send to others on a daily
    basis. It seems that we can easily read the thoughts
    of others by simply watching their "EYES." A
    person's eyes tell us a great deal about what they are
    thinking. Incredibly, most of us can sense whether
    or not another person is focused on us when we are
    speaking to them. Their eyes tell us if they are
    bored, interested, want to engage, etc. The more we
    watch people's eyes, the more highly developed our
    awareness of reading their thoughts will become

    IMPORTANCE OF
    EYE CONTACT
    It is actually possible for us to know what another
    person is thinking, even from great distances (up
    to 100 to 150 feet). It is known as "EYE
    CONTACT." How awesome is that? So, what are
    we seeing and how are we interpreting this
    particular body language signal as we attempt to
    engage in conversation with them? We are
    watching for "EYE SIGNALS" such as the direction
    in which the eyes move, what the eyelids are
    doing, the flexibility of widening and closing the
    eyelids, the movement of the pupils as they widen
    and contract, etc.

    IMPORTANCE OF
    EYE CONTACT
    Little thought was given to "EYE MESSAGING“
    until researchers in the 1960's developed what is
    known as the Neuro-Linguistic Programming
    (NPL) Theory. This research determined that eye
    messages are important factors when observing
    one's behaviors and thoughts. They concluded that
    when one's eyes move to the left or to the right, the
    person is doing one of two things: When the eyes
    move to the right, the person's brain is imaging
    (creating or feeling). When the eyes move to the
    left, the person's brain is recalling or remembering
    (facts/memory).

    IMPORTANCE OF
    EYE CONTACT
    Research indicates that when a person is actively
    involved in an interesting dialogue with someone
    else, 80% of the time their eyes remain focused on
    the person's face. They tend to focus on the
    person's eyes first, and after a few moments they
    move down to the person's nose, lips, etc., and then
    back to the eyes again. Periodically, they will look
    away at another object in the room and then glance
    back to the person's eyes. They then repeat the
    same pattern, especially during long conversations.

    IMPORTANCE OF
    EYE CONTACT
    Studies also shows that eye contact is often
    referred to as an indication of whether the person
    is telling the truth or lying. A person who tries to
    deceive someone may distort their eye contact so
    that the other person will not recognize the
    deception. This distortion is a widely recognized
    indication that the person is without a doubt not
    telling the truth. Some people appear to be very
    persistent or aggressive in their approach, and
    their eye contact indicates that they are very
    determined to convey their message to the receiver
    for whatever reason.
