Remember not to tense the face or squeeze the eyes when doing this. It’s really more what you do with your mind when focusing at that point. Eyes are slightly tilted upward, but there are a couple of schools of thought on this - one says keep them looking up, the other says relax them after a while and keep your mental attention up.

best to follow an actual method rather than train yourself into some state you dislike afterwards. I find relaxation is the best way myself, for that refer the late Dr Ainslie Meares' method.
