Confirming eye position in Meditation to bring white light into your aura

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for the help with the wording for this meditation to bring

white light into your aura!

 

last question so I can put this baby to bed

My notes said eyes 1/10th open (I posted that in the instructions and nobody

said that was wrong). I just wanted to confirm that. I just tried it, got a

little dizzy after turning the head 4 times and bringing it back to centre.

Should the eyes be 1/10th open or closed?

 

thank you. It is a lovely meditation

1/10th open. Mostly closed.

Sat Naam,

 

The drishti is the point of focus for the eyes; where to fix the gaze in a

meditation or posture. The directions "eyes 1/10th open" refers to the

position of the eyelids, but not really the eyeballs. Maybe your eyeballs

are shaking and moving and this can cause dizziness for some. Fixing the

gaze is a very important element of yoga -- both the body and mind follow

the eyes. Fixing the gaze balances the body and stills the mind.

 

So just keep practicing and pay attention to the eyeballs. Wherever they

feel comfortable when your lids are slit 1/10th -- maybe it's straight ahead

at the back of the eyelids or maybe it's gazing down through the opening (or

maybe it's specified?) -- concentrate on keeping them steadily fixed there.

Also work on softening the focus of the eyes, relaxing them into stillness

instead of making them look and see. This will make more sense with more

practice.

 

There are many other things that could cause dizziness when doing yoga too.

Like if the breath is too shallow or uneven. Strong deep breathing expels

any toxins that are released doing yoga. Use the breath. Regulate it gently

so the the inhalation matches the exhalation in strength, depth, length, and

comfort. And the list goes on... but I can't. Feel free to email me off

list if you feel the need!
