The next time you find yourself getting too emotional
at the wrong time and want to maintain control, or are sitting
in the movie theater forced to go through a roller coaster scene
and feeling a bit queasy, just cover your left eye. Try it!
Your left eye feeds information to your brain's right hemisphere, the area
that is in charge of our emotions and feelings. By covering your left eye, you are
limiting the emotional feed to the right side of your brain. This works
instantaneously, and is astonishing.
Just a couple of days ago, Lisa, my fiancée, was reading some poems to me she
found and wanted my input as to whether we should use them in our wedding.
She started to read this one particular poem, and burst out crying right in the
middle of it - out of nowhere! She was laughing and crying at the same time,
because the emotion of it caught her by surprise. I immediately reminded her to
cover her left eye so she could get herself back together enough to continue
reading the poem. Sure enough, within about 10 seconds, the tears stopped and
she was able to continue reading the poem uninterrupted. After hearing the
poem, I too was touched, yet was concerned with some of the language as I felt it
was not as “ecological” as I would like it to be, so I asked Al Sargent, my best man
to write a poem for us. Al is the developer of Hemispheric Integration, the science
behind the reason why we say “cover your left eye.”
Covering your left eye when you find yourself in an emotional situation and would
like to be more resourceful is a great tool to use with yourself, and children of all
ages. We tried this out a few months ago while in Los Angeles. We were having
Easter Sunday brunch at the Fairfax Farmers’ Market in this wonderful outdoor
restaurant. We were outside on the patio, and everyone around us was in great
mood. A group of ladies were at the table next to us, and one of them had her
very cute young son who seemed to be about 18 months old. He was just a
wonderful and very happy child during the whole meal. Just as we were getting
up to leave, after paying our bill, he started to throw a tantrum and started crying
at the top of his lungs. As I walked by, I leaned over to the mother and said
“cover his left eye.” She looked at me real funny, but sure enough, she reached
out and placed her hand over his left eye.
He stopped crying immediately! He looked up at everyone with this expression
on his face like, “what was that?” He had completely forgotten what it was that he
was upset about. No idea–none! All of the ladies were dumbfounded, as they
asked with astonishment, “what did you do?” I smiled and told them to purchase a
book called “The Other Mind’s Eye: The Gateway to the Hidden Treasures of
Your Mind” which would explain everything in detail. As we walked off we were
met by the rest of the restaurant patrons’ smiling and thankful faces.
Most importantly, remember this as a tool to control "emotional eating" as well as
food addictions. Try it the next time you are having a craving for desert or some
French fries (or whatever your food addiction might be). If you are upset about
something, cover your left eye instead of heading to the fridge. You just might
find that you really don’t want that ice cream right now, and a big glass of water
will do the trick. Try it!
