Some may say there is no way you could meditate while keeping your eyes open. Well the truth is many experts and people say you do not need to. In fact, you are meditating anytime you are in the present moment. Yes, that includes when you are cooking and you are just stirring the carrots and doing nothing else. Tibetan Buddism, Zen Buddism, and Trataja Meditation all have some sort of way of meditating with the eyes not closed. Learn how to meditate with eyes open below.
Meditate With Eyes Open
In order to meditate with your eyes open you need to make sure your surroundings and setting is quiet enough to not disturb you. Make sure you are not staring at anything for too long and keeping light eye sight. Also, try to let go of the idea of your thoughts. Please just let them come through whenever you hear them. You can always close your eyes during the meditation if it is too uncomfortable keeping them open.
