Leo's Mindfulness Meditation: Eyes Open or Closed?

[WildeChilde]

I've been practicing this one for a while and have been doing it with my eyes open.  Is this correct, or do I need to keep them shut?  Thanks guys.

It doesn't matter. Some people find it easier to stay awake when eyes open. Some are same.

@WildeChilde Both ways work well.

Eyes closed is great when you want to focus on labeling sounds or body sensations or thoughts.

Ask yourself what works better to you. I personally can stop the thinking mind focusing on what I see instead of sounds, because vision can appreciate more detalis than sounds, the more focus you need the less distracted you'll be
