Eye accessing cues in NLP are supposed to be able to tell you how people are processing their thoughts.
Actually Derren Brown blows the old eye accessing clues apart in his first book. It’s totally unproven rubbish. However what he gives you in place is worth gold. And I’m paraphrasing here.
What you need to watch for is their ‘Pattern’.
Ask them three questions that they can not lie about. “Is your hair brown?” “Is it cold today?” etc. Watch where their eyes go and how they move their eyes AND their mouth, head and shoulders. If they lie that pattern, whatever it is for them, will change, even the volume and tone of their voice sometimes changes.
I did a variation of that once on Jane but without her speaking.
I said “Just think three things about Saskia – her daughter – and make one of them a lie.”
I then said, “Think of the first thing”, counted to four.
“Think of the second”, counted to four.
“Now think of the third.” counted to four.
I then told her it was the second and she was amazed.
Between you and I it wasn’t all that amazing because although she held her eyes pretty steady on the second thing she very slightly nodded her head.
You know, there are loads of books and stuff out there that I’ve waisted time and money on when what it comes down to is you’ve got to look for the easy stuff.
The stuff that works!
