I need advice on eye contact........?

When I did Raja Yoga, a while back, we were taught to not look directly into someone's eyes when talking or listening, but to look above their eyes at their 3rd eye area. This meant that our attention was not on the physicality of those we come into contact but to really "see" into their actual beingness of which we all share. It makes you feel more comfortable as well.....like you're not staring, and it is important to realise the person as being a soul.....we are all a soul not a body....then you can focus on what's being said in a more impartial way. Hope this helps.
