Issue with meditation
I am sorry I don't know how to specifically post something in the meditattion section. Everytime I had a question about my meditation practice, I found an answer on this board, so I subscribed to ask a question to which I cannot find an answer anywhere.
I started meditating with my eyes closed, and had been doing so 1 hourd weekly for a few years before starting to meditate daily (eyes closed) for 2 months. Doing it daily, a problem occured. My eyes hurt terribly, they were squinting (even with my eyes closed) during meditation and my vision was worse the rest of the time.
I therefore decided to meditate with half-closed/open eyes. The pain is totally gone in my eyes BUT I can not or can hardly stop my thinking process when I meditate with my eyes open. My mindfulness is gone when I meditate with eyes open, I keep pace with my breath but do not feel present.
Any advice from anyone would be so much appreciated!!! Thanks for reading my long story
