How NLP Eye Accessing Cues relate to the Third Eye — And How This Knowledge Can Help Your Meditation Practice
Even small breakthroughs in practicing meditation can feel amazing, and it was no exception the first time I felt my mind slow down to a noticeable degree while directing my attention between my eyebrows.
When the regular thought pattern commenced, my first thought was that there was something very straightforward and pragmatic about what had happened, aside from or in addition to the typical “esoteric” connotations regarding concentrating attention on the third eye.
The thought that occurred reminded me of an idea I had heard about while studying NLP.
NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a method used to influence brain behavior through language and other modes of communication, which can enable a person to rewire the way the brain reacts to stimuli, in order to generate new, desired behaviors.
“Eye movements as indicators of specific cognitive processes is one of the most well known, if controversial, discoveries of NLP, and potentially one of the most valuable. According to NLP, automatic, unconscious eye movements, or ‘eye accessing cues,’ often accompany particular thought processes, and indicate the access and use of particular representational systems.”
