Eye Contact

Eye Contact Controls

Participants sit facing each other and maintain eye contact for a set amount of time, without speaking or breaking the gaze. To start, find a quiet space, set a timer, sit comfortably on chairs or cushions, align your gazes, and try to hold eye contact without distraction. If a break in focus occurs, gently return to eye contact until the timer ends.
