Here is one of the articles that I read: http://www.nlpco.com/articles/Eyemovement.html heres the good parts of the article: The importance of connecting all eye positions is based on the NLP theory that the various movements of the eyes access different sensory systems and, therefore, different areas of neurology. Added to this is the EMI assumption that a traumatic experience remains unintegrated in a person's life precisely because it is isolated, both in their neurology and in their thinking. The principle behind EMI is that " all the relevant multisensory dimensions " are required for full integration of the disturbing experience and thus the aim of the eye movements is to create " new linkages between different types of sensory, affective, or cognitive information. " The result does not extinguish the memory of what happened but it does strip off the emotional charge that was causing all the problems. Danie Beaulieu was present at Steve Andreas ' demonstation to that Ericksonian Foundation Brief Therapy Conference ten years ago. She saw him work with a Vietnam veteran plagued by flashbacks. Though the man is not all that expressive it is clear enough that these flashbacks are very disturbing, yet at the end of 45 minutes of guided eye movements he says of the tracers, arcing over the battlefield of his internal imagery, that " they are pretty. " Dr Beaulieu, who had not had an NLP training at the time, was left puzzled and frustrated. She didn't know why what had happened had happened. In addition, Steve implied that the audience members (clinicians all) could go off and do this themselves with the benefit of his handouts. As Dr Beaulieu puts it, " From my training, I was used to absorbing a good five hundred hours of theoretical information before putting it into practice. " That makes her frustration understandable.
