I think that the eye to eye thing is nice .... but I think that what is in the brain is what matters. Does the eye to eye thing help circumvent what might historically be in the brain (past abuse...help focus and deny the presence of that) or does it help confirm what is currently in the brain (and in the heart) and where you currently wish to focus?

What would you be thinking of if your eyes were shut?

I think that what is going on in the brain is important...

Hope this is not too personal.... Just thinking it through a bit...
