Should I meditate with my eyes open or closed?

This, too, varies from person to person. You can absolutely be mindful with your eyes open. During walking meditation, your eyes will usually be open as well. If you fall asleep quickly, feel uncomfortable with your eyes closed, or use a technique in which you focus on an object, for example, you can keep your eyes open.
