eye gazing

Locked visual connection

Eye gazing is the practice of looking steadily into another person's eyes, usually at close range and for an extended period.

In romantic contexts, it builds intimacy and connection: We spent several minutes just eye gazing.

The practice appears in meditation, tantra, and relationship exercises as a way to foster presence and emotional attunement.
