Mirror Gazing
Mirror Gazing is a gentle exercise: look into your own eyes for a few minutes and notice subtle shifts in perception, emotion, and self-awareness.
Short Answer
Look into your own eyes in a mirror for a few minutes and notice changes in emotion, thought, and perception. Keep it gentle and stop if it becomes distressing.
How to Do It (2–5 minutes)
- Sit with a mirror at comfortable distance. Soft lighting helps.
- Set a timer for 2–5 minutes.
- Rest attention on your eyes. Let facial expression be neutral.
- Notice emotion shifts, micro-judgments, and body sensations.
- End by taking 3 slow breaths and looking away slowly.
Safety Notes
- If you have trauma triggers or dissociation, start very short (30–60 seconds).
- Stop if anxiety spikes; switch to breath or grounding touch.
- This is not a test. The goal is noticing, not “breaking through.”
