What Do Your Eyes Say About You?

According to Ken Dychtwald, author of BodyMind, your eyes indicate the level of health or disease for your entire being. They truly are "windows to the soul" in the sense that many tensions in the facial muscles and surrounding organs, including those from the brain, accumulate in around the eye or eye sockets (BodyMind, page 223). Different eye shapes can also offer some insight about the person, and some of those will be discussed here.

Large, round eyes suggest a warm, open and caring personality. It's as if the person behind them is gently reaching out to the world through the eyes.

Bulging eyes are reaching out to the world in an intense and forceful way, often with the result of making people feel uncomfortable in the person's presence.

Deep-set eyes indicate that the person has been living a life of repression. Unexpressed feelings have caused the eyes to retreat further into the skull.

Lastly, Dychtwald describes what he calls baby's eyes, which have the wide-open pleading quality of people who are accustomed to getting what they want.

The hardness or softness of a person's eyes are indicative of their way of interacting with the world. A person with a hard expression in the eyes seeks to control the world, while a person with soft eyes is more easygoing and receptive. Nearsightedness and farsightedness relate to a person's level of introversion or extroversion. Nearsighted people tend to focus inward, and farsighted people tend to project their attention away from themselves.

Eyes can offer information about medical history as well. This science is known as iridology, and according to its theory, each part of the iris corresponds to a particular organ or system in the body. It is very much like reflexology in this way. Cloudiness or discoloration in a particular part of the iris indicates disease in the corresponding organ. For example, if you are looking at the iris as you would look at a clock, the section at approximately 4:00 represents the spinal column. If that part of my iris was discolored, it would indicate damage in my spine. Sclerology works in a similar way, only it looks at the sclera, or the white part of the eye, for indications of unwellness or disease. In our daily interactions, we're already aware that a person's eyes says a lot about who they are. The book Bodymind explores with science what we already sense with intuition.
