Eyes roll back during meditation

[mindcentral]

Lately during meditation, my eyes often roll back in my head and then my eyelids open, but I only see blackness because my eyes are rolled back in my head.

Any ideas on what causes this or what it signifies, if anything? Thanks.

I think this happens when falling asleep. Just a suggestion.

It’s a story you’re making up to avoid meditation.

Let the body do what it wants to do. 

Just breathe.

@mindcentral Sometimes when there's lots of energy built up in my 3rd eye it becomes difficult to keep the eyes focused elsewhere, it sort of naturally wants to rest focusing upwards. It sounds like yours is much more pronounced tho. It's hard for people to give advice without knowing what meditation exactly you're doing but the consensus is that if you're practising concentration its best to ignore it/let it be and focus on the object of meditation.
