Eyes Open Meditation

[comp13]

The last two days I've been meditating with my eyes open and focusing on an arbitrary point on the wall. I've noticed that after sitting there for about twenty minutes, my eyes desperately try to look at something else. Tonight, I forced myself to continue looking at the wall and I noticed that everything in my vision began to sway slightly. I also noticed my heartbeat speeding up and a slight sense of fear. Am I on to something? Is this just a physiological reaction to sensory deprivation or something? Any thoughts?...

@comp13I think that it is probably sensory deprivation that is causing this. Personally I would say it is homeostasis (resistance from your body) , as your mind and body has become rotten because of Western Culture. But, if this become severe consult a doctor, as it may be something otherwise

Google brainspotting, and you maybe have an explaination. Traumas can be frozen in the sight.

@comp13 The same exact thing seems to happen to me. Objects within my vision start swaying, my peripheral vision becomes blurred, and I get this insane urge to look in another direction. I don't know why it happens.

Buy a breathalyzer, follow the instructions and paste the results. Then I will tell you what's going on.
