Summary
Join Amy’s cousin, Amanda Rieger Green, as she guides you through a 5-minute open eye meditation to connect your inner and outer vision!
Amanda explains the benefits of Open Eye Meditation and why the Winter Solstice is a great time for meditating in her episode of “Soul Sessions”: Winter Solstice Wisdom: A Time For Reflection, Healing and Breakthroughs
Keep your eyes open, look out the window or sit outside in nature, and fixate your eyes on something while gazing your eyes down at a 45 degree angle. Allow your eyes to get hazy and out of focus - be ok with the discomfort!
This 5-minute active reset will help clear your vision. Take notice of what appears to you, what ideas and insights pop into your head, or what becomes clear during the meditation!
