What is Eye Blinking?
Eye Blinking, also known as Rapid Eye Technology (RET), allows a person to access a relaxed or alpha brainwave state known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM), which is the body’s own natural mechanism for releasing stress. A person follows patterns in the peripheral vision that further refines the search for the source material in visual, auditory and kinesthetic areas of the brain. While blinking the eyes, this effectively creates an on/off electrical stimulus, intensifying and apparently zooming in on the target neurons, alternately focusing on and discharging the material laid down there.
