Can You Communicate via Your Glance?



Norms in our society require us to talk and not communicate via our glance. In fact, during childhood mothers teach us not to look at others eyes or to stare at them. As a result, we have not realized the power of glance in our eyes.  Verbal communication apart, we can also show suggestion or intimation via eye glance. Here is a primer:

Even Victor Hugo admitted that, love between two persons begin with a power of glance. Although critics and cynics pooh pooh this as love at first sight, generally love begins instantly when two lovers make eye contact rather than because of studious analysis. A glance facilitates two persons to get in touch via eyesight, which transmits light waves between them. The mind intercedes, transmutes it as affection, and pass it on to the spirit, which ultimately gives the go ahead for the romance to begin and blossom.

Glance can range within positive and negative spectrums. Love, kindness and intimacy border on the positive segment while hate, tread and falling apart perch on the negative side. A gaze can be touching and refreshing whereas a stare can be obtrusive and make one uncomfortable. You can send signals of your selfish concerns like sexual urge and entertainment or profound feelings such as equanimity and harmony with others. Glance can last longer than necessary or be a fleeting look carrying a snap message. It also differs between searching one and piercing one.

Glance can say briefly and effectively your intention better than your speaking at length. Power of effective communication is key aspect in a perfect glance that transmits the message to the receiver crystal clear. For example, your subordinates suggest a method to fight your competitors in the market, which according to your company policy is unethical. A short snappy glance at him tell him to keep away from it rather than your giving him a big lecture on company policy.

Suggestion and intimation of an idea can be effected via a glance. Christopher Lee, famous actor in Dracula and Fu Manchu films has mastered the technique known as “Power of Suggestion”. True enough, his steely gaze can chill your spine and scare your wits out, but it also indicates the message he wants to tell you without using any verbal communication. Hence, piercing glance has come to be identified as personal branding of Christopher Lee.

Even you can learn to use glance as a medium of non-verbal communication. To begin with, assess your personal cosmics paying special attention to your eyes and the power of its gaze. Secondly, look at the mirror and practise eye movement towards eight directions.  Thirdly, look at the mirror for few seconds without batting an eyelid. Over time, you have to increase the duration to one to two minutes. Finally, learn to adjust the glance to give high tone, middle tone and low tone messages.

Happy staring!
