Everyone who meditates or practices self-hypnosis understands the basics of Eye Fixation. You stare at a Cross, a pendant, a candle, or simply at a dot on the wall.
However, sometimes the ecstatic effect does not always come - perhaps 80% of the time for me. This is the point where you get divine revelation - or intuition or whatever you want to call it- upon certain concepts, topics, or current problems in your life.
I have found a technique that gives about 80% of the effect of meditation, but with perhaps 10% of the time required. Mentalist Ehud Segev describes it in his book, "9 Steps to Influence: A Mentalists's Guide for Every Man."
How does it work? It is very simple. I will describe the way I do it, taking hints from Ehud's procedure.

- Fill up a transparent glass with water. Ensure you can see the top of the water level.
- Get a timer - a smart phone will work.
- Set the timer for one minute.
- Get in front of a mirror where you can see your face down to the bottom of your neck
- Place the glass of water in front of you.
- Grasp the glass of water.
- Extend your arm fully to a comfortable position with the glass of water.
- Bring the glass level to about the image of your chin in the mirror.
- Hold the glass as steady as possible for one minute.
- Stare at a point behind the bridge of your nose to an imaginary point two inches (five centimeters) behind your nose bridge.
- Trigger the timer.
- Gaze at the point behind your nose bridge for as long as you can.
- In your peripheral vision, watch the water level, and try to keep the glass of water as steady as possible.
- Rest for about 15 seconds and change hands.
- Repeat the procedure with the other hand.
I often wait for another hour or so and repeat the exercise. I do this perhaps twice or three times in a day.
What is the benefit? You get an approximate benefit you would get with Eye Fixation meditation, but it is faster, if you are in a time crunch, or if you do not have the energy for a full meditation session. You also gain a powerful silent confidence in face to face conversations, because your eye movement, head movement and face movements will be under absolute control during the conversation - it is hard to put a price on supreme confidence in a face to face conversation.
There you go. Have fun!
