You have to focus your eyes on an object. If you have wandering thoughts, it is difficult to keep the eyes focus on one object. When the mind is clear, it is much easy to keep the focus on one thing for a long time. You can select a candle flame, a dot on a wall, or a Mandala or Kasina. In Buddhism there is a simillar meditation technique where they use a Mandala, or a Kasina. Mandala are very beautiful drawings and Kasina is a plain disk of a color. Whatever object you use, keep it on your eye level, when seated or standng in a comfortable place and posture. First, close your eyes and take three deep breaths and relax your body and mind. Then look directly at the object as long as it is not uncomfortable. When you look at a dot for a long time, it may suddenly disappear. This is natural when you do the excersice well! When you look at a candle flame for a long time, you may experience that the surrounding is getting darker. This is also natural, and don't worry about that. If it is difficult to keep the focus long enough, and you realize that your eyes are focusing back at the dot, or candle flame now and then, that means your mind is not clear enough. Close your eyes and breath deeply. If you use a Candle flame, when you close your eyes, you may still see an image of the flame. This is due to retinal burn, and it will go away in few minutes. If you stare at a statue for a long time, you may see as if it is glowing or radiating a light. This is also due to retinal burn.</blockquote>
