You can close your eyes to what you see, but you can't close your heart. Painful sensations and a feeling of pressure in the eyes. Why does a foreign body sensation appear in the eye?

In the old days they used to say: “What is in the mind, then in the eyes”, they are able to tell a lot about their master, even what they want to hide. The skill of reading through the eyes makes it easy to establish contact, avoid mistakes in communication, and guess other people's intentions.

In the article: what the expression of the eyes will tell about, what it depends on and what the size of the pupils means, what you should pay attention to.

Why do eyes always grab our attention

When we look at a person (or photo), we involuntarily focus on his eyes.

This conclusion was made in 1957 by Alfred Lukyanovich Yarbus, a Soviet physiologist, as a result of a curious experiment, during which the movements of the eyeballs were recorded when looking at various objects and their images.

It turned out that the eyes riveted our gaze like a magnet. After fumbling around the face, hair, clothes, we again look into the eyes.

Any two adjacent and horizontal circles also attract attention.. Especially with dots (pupils) in the center. This has been experimentally demonstrated by British psychologists.

The phenomenon is explained by the fact that

through the eyes our brain receives a lot of information(optical and telepathic) about who we are looking at.

The lion's share of incoming information is perceived by us at the subconscious level, intuitively.

That is why it often takes a couple of minutes to get the first impression of a stranger.

In the 17th century, Tommaso Campanella, an Italian philosopher, wrote:

“The eyes convey the passion of their master: love - from a lover, anger and contempt - from evil, sadness - from an unfortunate ...”

The fact that a glance conveys thoughts was proved by V.L. Durov. and Kazinsky B.B.

With the help of telepathy, Tsiolkovsky K.E. compensated for his deafness.

Here is how this fact is described by A.L. Chizhevsky:

“He was always very attentive, as if on guard, he tried to look directly into the eyes of the interlocutor ... Due to which he understood what was not heard ... I was struck by his unexpected insight: “Didn't I guess right? Did you guess right? Don’t be shy…” He actually guessed…”

What does the expression in the eyes say?

The language of views will tell a lot about what is happening in the depths of a person’s soul; it’s not for nothing that the eyes are considered its mirror.

It is not for nothing that people with bad intentions try to hide behind dark glasses.

And it is no coincidence that a person in tinted glasses, dressed “out of place”, causes hostility in those around him. Therefore, the "specialists" do not hide their eyes, but control their expression.

Long uninterrupted gaze

among many nations it is considered a sign of insolence, aggression, challenge.

Accompanied by a grin, it is regarded as a threat, an insult, a mental attack.

Avert eyes while talking:

• persons who are unsure of themselves, anxious, wishing to hide the truth, to deceive;
• if the contact does not cause any emotions, is not interesting, you do not want to continue it.

Eyes open wide in response to

• astonishment, astonishment, surprise, shock,
• extreme interest,
• readiness to receive information.

squinted eyes issue:

• irritation, discontent, distrust, cunning, insincerity;
• high mental concentration.

Covered eyes- sign

• intentions to withdraw into oneself, to separate from everyone and everything,
• overwork, lack of interest in what is happening;
• focusing on your feelings or thoughts.

When a person squints or closes their eyes, wanting to limit his contact with the outside world, he is protected not only from visual stimuli. It also protects your brain from unwanted telepathic signals in this way.

The gaze is directed upward:

• pondering his thoughts
• shows his sarcasm, condescension, contempt for the subject of the conversation or the interlocutor.

Squinting, looking away

under a judgmental and reproachful look - protects the eyes from the penetration of other people's emotions, and the brain - from negative programs.

Make eye contact while talking a person who considers the interlocutor smarter and more experienced. He, like a schoolboy, opens up to the suggestion of a teacher.

Meanwhile, gaze too long, "staring", testify to fear, distrust and efforts not to show feelings.

The narrator may not look the listener in the eyes in the event that his brain is working hard, formulating a thought. The look and mind of the listener can interfere with this process.

Lower their eyes with embarrassment, mental discomfort, the desire to end the conversation.

A look into your eyes allows you to better understand another person and express your thoughts and feelings to him. Brain-to-brain dialogue communicates well both information and mental state.

An interesting fact:

Women tend to be more direct in communication, which are not perceived by them as a threat, but, on the contrary, serve as a signal of interest in their person, the desire to establish a connection.

There is an opinion: the need for open views is transmitted to women at the genetic level. This is due to the instinct of procreation and the search for a partner for this purpose.

More through an open look, the mother tunes the mental.

Frank views are necessary for women for another reason.

Men think logically, they perceive first of all the meaning of words.

Women have more developed intuition, they are more important than non-verbals: facial expressions and eyes, facial expressions, intonation, gestures, that is, everything that stands behind words.

What determines the size of the pupils

Psychologists conducted an interesting study, the participants of which were shown two identical photos of a girl. It was necessary to choose a photo where the girl looked prettier.

Everyone chose the same photo, but no one could justify their decision: no difference was found in the pictures.

The secret was in the slightly retouched pupils in the selected image.

Pupil size depends on vitality, was considered from ancient times.

small pupils makes old age and prolonged illness.

From this position, it is clear why wide pupils attract us- A healthy, energetic person is always liked more.

Remember how tender we feel when looking at the eyes of babies or cubs. Researchers suggest - reason for sympathy in large pupils which cannot yet be explained.

The following phenomena are still a mystery:

enlarged pupils in case of emotional arousal, tension, obvious interest, pain, fear, drug intoxication.

Why do pupils shrink in old age, and at the moment of death they expand to the limit.

If we take into account the energy-information version(transmission-reception of information through the eyes), the phenomenon of pupils changing their size is explained as follows.

Pupils get bigger,

The pupils constrict:

• if interest in the world around us fades, we crave rest, solitude;
• during a period of physical and mental exhaustion;
• when embittered, offended, irritated, the eyes look like "snake" or "beads".

Watching the pupils, keep in mind physiological causes their transformations:

in bright light they decrease, and in low light they increase.

Interesting

Skilled gamblers lost(during the experiment) if their opponents' eyes were hidden behind dark glasses.

And all because they could not observe the reaction of the pupils to the drop-down card (by four aces, for example, they would expand) and make appropriate bets.

Pearl traders in ancient China could read pupils, which was successfully used during price discussions and deals.

To become more desirable and attractive to men women of ancient Rome, and later Italians and Spaniards in the Middle Ages, put belladonna juice in their eyes (at the risk of their eyesight).

The pupil greatly expanded, as a result, the eyes became shiny and "deep". This is probably why belladonna in Italian means “beauty, beautiful lady”, and among Russians it is called “beauty”.

Scientists explained such a strange effect of belladonna on the eyes in the 19th century. The poisonous herbs belladonna, henbane, dope, mandrake contain atropine, which relaxes the eye muscles, now it is part of eye drops and many medicines.

Aristotle Socrates, Greek billionaire, the shipowner used to conduct business negotiations with tinted glasses so that his eyes would not betray his thoughts.

Summary

When communicating with a person, look at his expression in the eyes and you will understand much of what remains “behind the scenes” of the words and phrases he uttered.

The eyes are the screen on which all experiences and thoughts are broadcast. It is very difficult to control the eyes, and therefore they are our most truthful interlocutors.
