Eyes Open Meditation

If you feel overstimulated but can’t seem to slow down, this meditation is for you. So many of us try to relax by closing our eyes, forcing deep breaths, or trying to empty the mind. It might help for a moment, but then the tension creeps back in. The issue is not that you are doing it wrong; it is that your awareness has narrowed. In this eyes-open meditation, you gently soften your gaze and widen your field of perception. As your awareness expands, your nervous system naturally shifts out of tunnel vision and into safety. This is something you can use anywhere. At your desk, on a walk. In a busy café, even in conversation. Enjoy.
