Meditate With Eyes Open Or Closed?

Should you meditate with your eyes open or closed? The truth is, pure awareness doesn’t depend on either - but your experience might. In this short talk, we’ll explore how to listen to the body and choose the practice that best supports you in the moment. When the mind feels busy and scattered, closing the eyes can help draw awareness inward.

When the inner world feels crowded with thought, gently opening the eyes may anchor you in the present. We’ll also look at how open-eyed meditation can prepare us for everyday life, where our eyes are almost always open. Ultimately, this is about curiosity, intuition, and trusting what you need each day.
