Calm the mind and clear the senses first with a few moments of ‘Alternate Nostril Breathing.’ Add eye movements by looking in the direction of the nostril that is breathing in. (Optional).
Sitting in meditation pose, eyes open. Focus on the breath and concentrate on releasing any physical tension you find. Especially in the shoulders and neck. Relax your belly, and use just enough energy to maintain an efficient, attentive posture.
Imagine a string is attached to the crown of your head and cultivate a feeling of the back of the head being gently ‘lifted’’ – the chin drops, slightly.
Let your face relax.
Now, focusing on the left eye, just try to see what is directly in front of you with that one eye, keeping the right eye open, but relaxed. Don’t be so concerned with seeing details. Just take in the scene, whatever it may be, with one eye, for a short time. Maybe ten or fifteen breaths. It depends on your ability to focus, your breath capacity and it can vary as your ability progresses.
After a time, switch eyes. Now, try to see predominantly through the right eye for a time. After you have done this sequence several times, try it with the eyes closed, just staring into the blackness. Notice any perceptual changes as you go through the meditation.
Afterwards, rub your palms together vigorously, creating heat with friction. Then, place your palms cupped, over your eyes. Keep your eyes open and feel the warmth soothe them.
Smile.
