Instead of talking like in traditional therapy you use your eyes to help mindfully process. Your eyes are connected to the part of the brain that accesses feelings, which is connected to the body-based parts of the brain.
Using my pointer and bilateral music I will help you find a “brain spot”. Then you will begin to report the emotions or body sensations that come up when you think about what's bothering you. You’ll focus your eyes on that specific brain spot. This allows your brain and body to do whatever it wants or needs while focusing on the brain spot. All you must do is notice what's happening and you’ll begin to feel less activation, have more clarity, and finally start to feel better.
