Personally for me a trance is easieer with my eyes open. But for now you should keep your eyes closed and try to go into a real deep trance and then open your eyes.

Hi there!

I recently started the spiritual warfare training program found on the JoS website, and I am wondering if I should enter my trances with my eyes open or closed?

Until now (I have been going for five days), I have been doing the trances with my eyes closed. However, I was looking around on the website and found cases where one needs their eyes open DURING the trance. Is the trance just as "effective" if they are open? Should I practice going into trances with my eyes open or closed? What do you do? :)

Hail Satan!

If this seems confusing to you, think of a trance as a peaceful focused state of mind without any discursive thoughts. Whether your eyes are open or closed it doesn't matter, you're in a trance if you have that state of mind. You can go in a trance with your eyes closed and then open your eyes when you need to do a specific meditation.

Thank you all for your advice.
I tried mixing it up tonight, and it was still great!
