Eye-Contact and Intimacy
Okay, so I don’t really know if this qualifies as “science” (the “studies show” is what got to me). But I’d invite you to take four and a half minutes and watch it anyway. It’s just really interesting…and kind of beautiful…and testifies, I think, to our deep desire to be connected to others. So take a look…and maybe even try it out.
Notes: 1) If you receive this post by email, you may need to click on the title at the top of the post in order to watch the video.
2) Thanks to the great folks at Soul Pancake for another awesome video.
3) I also found a great article on the relationship between intimacy and eye-contact (and other things) that references one of the key studies mentioned in the video (ah, the science part!) at the New York Times. You can find it here.
Reminds me of, “Be still and know I am God.” Be still and know I am your wife. Powerful, quiet, and penetrating moments. Love it!
I can’t tell you why…but watching this (twice) made me cry. (Both times)
