Dalai Lama recommends focusing the eyes in a single point to mediate. This is one of many techniques he recommends. I am not sure if it is effective method as far as emptying pressures is concerned, or thoughts, since the thought brings or comes with it some sort of pressure.
You may notice this, thought-pressure relations or emotion-pressure relations, during meditation. So that when you empty your mind from thoughts, you also empty your from pressures.
I will experiment to see if it has the same thought-controlling power as that of contracting abdominal muscles.
Counting the breath while exhaling the entire expiratory reserve volume, I noted, can extinguish all pressures, that is all thoughts, and make yourself empty.
The object of mediation to me, or at least one of them, is to empty yourself of all thoughts, and by implications all pressures.
Once I manage to stop thoughts or empty myself, I stop counting the breath and focus on saying Mu inwardly, while stressing the vocal cords silently. This constitutes what the author calls a second stage, following after the stage that aims to stop wondering thoughts, by implications empty pressures.
Breathing is also done at this time in the nose rather than in the mouth. I also press the tongue on the roof of the mouth, as the author and others recommend. Doing so makes me more stable and comfortable. It also reminds me a childhood habit, placing a finger between the tongue and the roof of the mouth. Some say doing this, pressing or linking the tongue and the roof of the mouth closes a cycle of energy that promotes human health and longevity. I agree with them based my own experimentations on the matter since my childhood days .
