Hi again, I meditate with LF once a day, either for 60 minutes with the c.d. or if I use 40 minutes with ipod download I always play the gratitude exercise after.
If my shutters are open I always place a scarf over my eyes to block out the light - I find this is much better. You could use a material eye mask or any soft material - I simply use a soft scarf because I wear them often so I always have one at hand.
I don't think it matters whether you focus on the mantra or your breath - which ever you are most comfortable with. I wish you an abundance of joy and peace on your continuing journey of self discovery
