In a chaotic world filled with noise, constant distractions, and fast-paced living, we often overlook one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with ourselves and others: silence.
Silent gazing, the simple yet profound act of being fully present and looking into the eyes of another without words, has been practised for centuries as a form of healing and connection. One of our headline workshops at MBS Birmingham with silent gazer Braco will showcase just how amazing its effect can be.
The science of silent gazing
Studies have shown that eye contact activates the brain's social networks, promoting a feeling of connectedness. Prolonged, focused eye contact, as practiced in silent gazing, can even increase feelings of empathy, trust, and mutual understanding. This subtle but powerful exchange of energy is often described as a way to see and be seen at a soul level.
Try it with a friend or partner today and feel how connected you are in the absence of words. When you’re in a room full of people, all focused on the same peaceful intention, it will amplify the experience.
What makes Braco's gaze special?
Braco is a healer from Croatia who has been offering his silent gaze to audiences worldwide for over two decades. It’s what happened in New York in 2012, after receiving the Peace Role at a United Nations community event, that shocked the whole world.
Newswire broadcast the photo from the event across Times Square three times that day. Two days later, it was reported that New York City had passed a 24-hour period without a single report of a violent crime. Commenting for the city, the New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne boasted that it was “the first time in memory” that the city’s police force had experienced a peaceful day.
What can it do for me?
Thousands of people gather at his events, and for seven minutes exactly, Braco gazes in silence. Attendees simply receive, often reporting feelings of peace, emotional release and even physical healing. Participants have reported profound experiences—from deep emotional clarity to spontaneous healing from physical ailments.
The effects of the gaze are said to work on multiple levels, depending on what each individual needs. It really has to be experienced to be believed. What healing intention would you set going into the room?
