There&#x27;s lots of different styles of meditation. Tibetan monks I&#x27;ve spoken to have commented on this if it helps : posture is important, of you don&#x27;t have a good, alert, posture it can make an individual sleepy. Secondly you can meditate with your eyes very slightly open.<p>Also, you can meditate with candles and other things and focus your eyes on the light of those.
