Lying With Your Eyes
The traditional wisdom that states you can tell a person is
lying by looking in their eyes may have some merit to it. While
it cannot work as a lie detector, which is effective 100 percent
of the time, eye movement is closely connected with cognition
and thought.
When a right-handed person looks up and to the left, this is
indicative of their making a visually constructed mental image.
Up and to the right indicates a visually remembered image.
Straight left is connected to auditory construction, and
straight right to auditory memory. Left and down is often
indicative of memories of smells, feelings, or tastes, and right
and down often represents internal dialogue.
So, for example, if someone glances to the left as they answer a
question, they may be making up the answer, whereas a glance to
the right means they are remembering it.
Remember that it's not a sure-fire method, though ... and also
that most left-handed people will have the opposite meanings for
their eye-directions.

Although TV shows use obvious visual cues like this all the time
to speed through storylines and to clue in an audience, this
interesting piece -- based on theories by scientists who
invented Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Richard Bandler and
John Grinder -- demonstrates there may be some merit to
eye-watching.
This approach focuses on the ability to recall information based
on how one's mind processes data and memories and where the eye
moves in relation to those actions.
If you're not convinced this technique works, take a few
minutes, jot down some quick and easy questions and try it out
on a coworker or loved one, as you may be surprised by the
results.
Strangely enough, this may also explain why so many people you
may see playing poker professionally on TV wear sunglasses. (TV
poker is, I think, yet another examplein the litany of good
reasons to limit television's dire effects on your family.)
Speaking of sunglasses, please understand that if you are
seeking to be healthy, avoiding the use of sunglasses should be
high on your priority list. Sunglasses block important light
wavelengths that are essential for your health and will, without
question, over time worsen your eyesight.
About the only time they are appropriate is if you are skiing
and it is sunny. Thenthere simply is too much illumination for
your eyes to properly adjust, and skiing on the top of a
mountain is not a very natural experience so you may need to
compensate for this.
If you find that sunglasses are necessary to wear because bright
sunlight is painful to you, that is a strong clue that your
adrenals are not working properly and cannot send a strong
enough sympathetic signal to your iris to contract to reduce the
amount of light to your retina. Impaired adrenal function is
typically a result of previous emotional stressors and, in my
experience, they are best treated with energy psychology tools.
