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!

           It is human nature not to reflect on the past failure because it gives you pain of mind, gives a bad taste in your mouth, makes you unpleasant and mars your current state of happiness. That said, you often could not expel these thoughts. It is a catch 22 situation. Neither you can expel it nor do you wish to forget about it. The logic behind this is simple. The past failure is recorded in your conscious mind as well as in your unconscious mind. You are supposed to archive old files in your unconscious mind to be accessed when you need these. However, if these files crowd your conscious mind then you will find it difficult to forget them. The only way you can knock off unpleasant happenings is to do step-by step approach in deleting them.

3.         Switch on the red light. Get the feel bad factor. Say to yourself: “Yes. It was a mistake. Big failure on my part. I take full blame.  Yes, the failure was indeed fully recognised. Nevertheless, I will leave this and move out”.
4.         Get the amber light on. Say to yourself: “Let me learn the lessons from this incident. This is not a failure. It is my learning lessons of immense importance. I know how to prevent such things happening in the future. I am prepared to get on with my work”. Thereafter, you shift delete the past failures wholesale.
5. Flash the green light. Get the feel good factor. Say to yourself: “Oh now I am ready to move forward in life, career and in business. Past is now finished. The future is beckoning me. Now I prepare for the future”.
6.         In preparing for the future, it is better to choose a cosmic solution consisting of mixture of gem therapy, colour therapy, personal branding, change management, behaviour modification and personality development.
Keep talking to me.
