Who wouldn't want to eye gaze with Ollie.
Hahahaha. Best intro ever (in this challenge). Calvin (from Calvin&Hobs) would describe Ollie's eyes at the beggining of the video as "Bambi eyes" perfect to ask Santa (or mum) for a flame thrower. Shrek's cat is a good example too. ;-)
My last try on this experiment led to an akward feeling of not being able to feel the limit between me and the other person. The frontiers fell down somehow.
I don't know if there is a matching expression in english, but in Spain we say "los ojos son el espejo del alma", something like "the eyes are a reflection of the soul" I guess. If this is true, eye-gazing is for me something similar to a gentle caress soul to soul.
Haha, so true!
I first discovered this in my BC (before Christ) days at a shambhala Buddhist meditation center. About 30 young adults in one room for an hour and a half. First a 15 minute meditation warm up followed by a group discussion around the room checking in with each other. We would then randomly pair up with someone in the room. We would sit on pillows directly in front of one another. One side would close their eyes and would just listen to the other speak for two minutes uninterrupted. After that was done, switch sides.
At the end of that. We would open our eyes and do this. They called it the Dyad. Same process but for about 4-5 minutes. Dude, it felt like I was seeing this person’s soul. Kinda nuts.
The was a fascinating watch, I look forward to doing this with my partner the next time we're together.
Excited to try this with someone else! I HAVE tried this with myself in the mirror though. This can also be powerful to develop more connection with yourself. I've even sometimes experienced mild shroom-like hallucinations by doing this. It's very strange and can be sometimes freak you out but staying with the practice and breathing is key. Loved this video!
Love it! So beautiful and yes eye-gazing is magical
Thank you, Jessica!
I love the intro, could watch it again and again. You have sucha great ideas for filming. And eye gazing worthwhile anyway.
Thankyou! Hope it gave you a giggle :)
I used to do this with my ex and she couldn't hold the gaze for more than a few seconds. I couldn't relate at the time, but now I don't think I could do this with someone else anymore haha.
My oscar goes to Ollie, by the way. He's natural. Best actor in this video challenge. 🎥🏆 (In my opinion, of course).
Wow thank you for sharing your experience! 🙏 I will defenitely try this
Let us know how it goes!
Hey, great video. I 'm a student who - in the current pandemic - has not made a whole lot of connections with people. I am thinking about engaging in eye-gazing with someone I like, but am not close to yet, and maybe even strangers in the park, who knows. If it comes to it, I will return to this comment section and share my experience. Cheers!
Amazing. We're going to do a video on eye gazing with strangers too. Good luck!
I’m going to do this challenge. And as you said just came up into subconscious lol
I just naturally did this and came up with it for my relationship where I felt we were hurting ourselves cus we weren't being our genuine selves in our worst moments (and we wouldn't be able to if making eye contact)
Loved it!
Now add lsd
Just curious but are you still together with Margarita? My bet would be no … didn’t like her responses
Oy it's Ollie!
Why i cry when doing this?
Nice couple for each other
That's a scary intro
Tried it many Times, This shit doesn't work
