In my experience doing the vision exercise, it was difficult to manage staying in the open vision without just completely blurring out my eyes. Although, after a while, I was able to get better at the open vision by just relaxing. I noticed that when a breeze came by and branches or grasses started dancing in the wind, that is when my eye would catch movement and would get taken out of the open vision.

I tried this exercise while on a backpacking trip. I noticed that I felt less involved in being “me” during it, and I felt my awareness shift from my thoughts to the outer world. I also found that after the exercise i felt much more calm, and I felt a strong gratitude for the land that I was on.
