Summary:
This exercise is designed to help us relinquish control of the mind and imagination by allowing our visual senses to guide us.

Goals:
1) To observe reality in the present moment.
2) To allow our visual senses to guide us without controlling or directing them.


Timing:
1-2 times per day.


Structure:
Anchor yourself to the breath to connect with the present moment. (approx 2 mins)
Connect with visual senses with eyes open. (approx 2 mins)
Undirected visual exploration with eyes closed. (approx
5 mins)
Anchor back to the breath to finish. (approx 1 min)


Notes:
It is perfectly normal to find your thoughts wandering during meditation. If this happens, do not worry. Acknowledge the thought and direct your attention back to your visual experience. Visual information can take many forms some may be interesting, and some more plain or mundane. Everything that you may see is a reflection of you and is perfect for the exercise. The goal is to stay present.



Reflection Questions:
1) To what extent was I controlling | directing my vision?
2) Were there multiple types of vision that I experienced?
3) What were the main themes or aspects of my visions?
