Eyes in Meditation Practice Could someone please clarify for me what to do with the eyes? I have heard that we should keep our eyelids half open, but could someone describe it in detail (or refer me to someone else who does)?
Thank you.
The guidance I got from one teacher, of Tibetan Nyingma school, is to let the eyes relax. In detail, this includes:


keep them open but not stare-open - don't strain to keep them half-closed either,
relax the muscles around the eyes, so called soft-eyes,
do not focus the eyes on anything in particular, allow them go a little out of focus but don't force it,
if your eyes wander from object to object a bit, that's totally fine - as long as the objects are not too engaging. You don't have to literally sit in front of the wall but you want your scene to be rather generic.
