Meditation can be practiced with your eyes either closed or open, depending on your preference and the type of meditation you’re doing. Closing your eyes can help minimize distractions and deepen your focus, while keeping them open can enhance awareness of your surroundings. The key is to find a position that feels comfortable and allows you to cultivate a mindful state. Experiment with both methods to discover what best supports your meditation practice and helps you develop lasting healthy habits.
