Do you know about the meditation technique where people use an open focus to stretch their awareness into nothing, into a sense space, or into blackness, as discussed in the episode Jack Kornfield - How to Reduce Anxiety and Polish the Lens of Consciousness | The Tim Ferriss Show and the clip Navigating Consciousness? When I tried the narrow focus meditation behind my eyes, I could see blackness, but then I was overwhelmed by waves of imagery, which was a bit unsettling. It feels very different from the open focus meditation where you are supposed to unfold into the blackness as awareness. When I try to stretch my focus into nothing, I don't see much blackness. Am I doing it right?
