More than 70 visitors of the events with Braco have their say, including doctors, psychologists, scientists from physics, biochemistry, health sciences, consciousness researchers and a theologian. In 2012, he received a peace prize at the UN in New York.Ī German medical doctor wrote this book after his own intense experiences with Braco and his gaze. He has a special gift, as some scientists say. Braco has the courage to stand in front of thousands of people at events and congresses. No rousing speech, no new teachings or wisdom – and, above all, no new religion – just silence. It is impressive to stand in front of a person who just gazes at visitors of his events in silence. (visitors in Germany, Austria and the USA after an event with Braco)

“When he looked at me, I felt like someone was wiping away all my worries.” “It’s a very intense light that he awakens in people…” Exactly on that day, all pain has fallen away from me.” During the encounter, I felt more love than I could have ever imagined – pure love. Wouldn’t we all benefit from more actual eye contact and presence? Isn’t soul gazing with our loved ones amazing all by itself, even if it doesn’t “heal” us?īraco’s gift is lovely and strange and sure to elicit a variety of responses.“So, I made up my mind to open my heart to this man who just gazes at people in silence, for at least five minutes. I think I can stand to invest more of my time and attention in being present and less of it in scanning social media or sharing memes.

I’m here with you,” no matter how brief or inconsequential it may seem.ĭoes Braco heal others? Is it just the placebo effect at work? Is this simply a big scam to make money? I can’t answer those questions.īut I think I’ll try putting a little more effort into mindful presence with others. We can let our interactions with others say, “Hello. We can let others know with our eyes that we see them, even if we just make eye contact at the grocery store or when we pass someone walking down the street. We can listen silently, without speaking, but also without allowing our gaze to wander. We can put down our phones, make eye contact, and truly connect with others. While scientists and skeptics can debate if Braco’s gift of gazing is actually healing, I think there’s another takeaway from this: we can all benefit from being more mindful when we spend time with others. It’s also often a collective experience, and even the brief eye contact feels impactful. It’s like Braco has this gift of soul gazing, and people leave feeling healed and affirmed as individuals. I’m here with you.” It’s like a physical representation of the term namaste-the divinity in me recognizes the divinity in you. For a “gazer” to make eye contact is a simple way to say, “Hello. People often just want to feel like they are seen and acknowledged. Simply being mindful and present can be powerful. It’s undeniable that when we are fully present with others, it has a positive impact on our relationships. While some comments were skeptical (to say the least), I watched the video and thought about how this just might be possible. It’s his form of spiritual expression, and he does not attribute its effectiveness to any particular religion. A video recently posted by 60 Second Docs features Braco the Gazer-a faith healer who does not speak but simply gazes.īraco claims only to be a gazer and not a healer, and for the past 15 years, he has gazed at 10,000 people a day who claim that his gazing has profoundly impacted their lives.Įight years ago, Braco stopped trying to explain to others how and why he does what he does he only knows that it seems to get results.
