I usually try twice a week, and have been for a few months. So far all I've managed to get are weak vibrations, and that's only happened once or twice, the other times, I've laid there for sometimes an hour and a half before becoming frustrating and just staying awake till morning.

This is more a topic to vent my frustrations than anything else. But I was curious about something. I'm not sure how to word this, but basically I've found that I can either see with my eyes, which just gives me the vision of the back of my eyelids, or I can let my mind wander a little bit, which makes me sort of 'see' and imagine more in my minds eye. Usually when I try that I fall into regular sleep though. (hopefully this makes sense)

Should I be focusing on seeing through my physical eyes or just letting my 'minds eye' take control and focus more on my breathing and counting?
