Serious questions relating to having eyes closed in meditation

[AmIHindu]

Namaste


Focus is like concentration. You can focus on one thing at a time. It requires an effort and produces strain. One can focus on a single point like nail on wall or a black dot on a white poster.

Awareness is something different. One can be aware of what is going around you, to your left, right front and even back. To be aware, you have to de-focus. De-focusing is like having withdrawing your focus, your entire attention from one object and spread it on a wider angle.
