Originally I used to meditate with my eyes closed, until I was training with a new teacher, who encouraged eyes open. It took a while for me to adapt, but have to say that now, prefer to keep eyes open. If I'm feeling agitated though, or find that I have a difficult experience arise during my sitting, I will close my eyes momentarily just to soften, release and let go of the disturbance.
