We're going to do a visualization together.
This visualization is called eye dialogue and it is inspired by traditional Chinese medicine.
This concept that the right eye is the masculine eye and the left eye is the feminine eye.
This is what we're going to be working with here and we're actually personifying our eyes.
It's called eye dialogue because what you're going to do is you're going to have a little dialogue with your eyes individually and together.
I'm going to invite you to either close your eyes or get into a nice supported palming position because we might be palming for maybe five minutes or so,
Five or ten minutes.
You want to make sure you're nice and comfortable and supported.
I'm going to get my palming pillow on my lap and block out all as much of the light as I can.
Once again,
This concept being that the left eye is feminine,
Right eye is masculine.
I want you to imagine that you are approaching your left eye as if your left eye was a person.
I want you to imagine that you are introducing yourself to your left eye,
Maybe for the first time and saying,
Hey,
My name is blank and you ask what her name is.
Without overthinking it,
You may actually receive some name or some label that pops up seemingly randomly,
But if it does,
That's fine.
And if not,
That's okay too.
I want you to see if you can observe what the left eye looks like in its personified form.
What does it look like?
What does she look like?
What are her features?
What is she wearing?
What's her demeanor?
How is she holding herself?
You want to open up this channel of dialogue.
You ask her how she's feeling today.
If there's anything in particular that she would like to share with you while you're listening intently to her.
And it might be verbal,
But it might not be.
Sometimes the signals we get are in other forms,
More of like a feeling or an energy or a color or an image.
But sometimes it might actually be a little bit of a conversation.
And no matter what,
And maybe you don't get anything.
And once again,
That happens sometimes if the left eye is a little shy or timid.
But no matter what the outcome was,
You want to thank her and let her know that this channel of dialogue is now open for free communication whenever she wants or needs to speak to you.
So once you thank her,
You step over to the other side and you introduce yourself to your right eye,
Tell him what your name is and ask him what his name is.
And what does he look like and what are his attributes and his qualities and what is his demeanor?
So just being open to receiving whatever he's got to share,
Whether it's verbal,
Nonverbal,
Whatever.
And whatever you receive or don't receive,
You still want to thank him for showing up today and let him know that this channel of dialogue is open between you and him individually.
So he can talk to you whenever he needs or wants.
But for now,
We're going to take a step back kind of right in between both of the eyes.
And we're going to become the third party observer as we invite the left and the right eye,
The feminine and masculine eyes have a little discussion or dialogue between them.
So they're not talking to you anymore.
They're talking to each other.
And you're just witnessing it.
What is this interaction like?
What is the dynamic between these two sides?
Is there anything that needs to be communicated from the,
From her to him or from him to her?
Are there any requests or things that she needs from him or for him and vice versa?
You know,
Are they on good terms with each other or do they need some,
Some marriage counseling?
And you want to thank both of them for speaking with each other and for expressing themselves to each other and letting the other know what they need or,
Or maybe it's simply an amicable thing and they are feeling good and on balance and in sync with each other.
But no matter what happened,
You want to thank them and let them know that the channel of dialogue between them is now open for free communication.
They can communicate with each other whenever they need to.
So once again,
Based off of this traditional Chinese medicine concept kind of based out of the yin yang,
Because the left eye,
The feminine eye is the yin side,
And it can represent either the feminine externally.
So it could refer to females in your life,
Mothers,
Grandmothers,
Daughters,
Granddaughters,
Friends,
Partners,
Just like the right eye,
The yang eye can represent external male figures.
But it also points within it also represents our own feminine and our own masculine and our own masculine energies within ourselves.
So we're going to take this feeling of connection and cooperation and teamwork back out of palming with us.
So as we keep the eyes closed,
But just slowly allow light to begin to land on the closed eyelids.
You can even notice that when you feel adjusted and do blink your eyes back open,
The blinks are coordinated.
They're happening equally on the left and the right.
When you explore around your room,
Maybe there's this feeling of your eyes moving together as a team.
Maybe if you look at something near and then look at something far,
There's a feeling of coordination and maybe a sense of fusion.
And fusion is your two eyes' ability to land on the same point at the same time at the same rate.
So the teamwork between your left eye and your right eye.
And what we just did was we made sure that on a very deep mental level that the left,
Your left eye and your right eye actually do want to work together.
Because if they don't,
Then the fusion may not show up as well as it could on the physical level.
So I encourage you to repeat this eye dialogue visualization somewhat regularly to have a little bit of a check-in with your eyes and see what they need,
See what they want to express to you and share with you.
And you may find that they stay the same.
They have the same name every time,
Or you may find that they take on different personalities or different names as you change.
So this can be kind of a really interesting experience to connect in with yourself and maybe a new way of actually having a dialogue with this specific part of your body.
