Warrior Pose
3rd Eye or the tip of the nose for eyes meditation position during warrior pose

Answer:
Sat Nam, either way exerts a subtle and sometimes not so subtle
pressure on the optic nerve. Yogi Bhajan gave us the option of doing
it either way (That's whats so nice about KY, it gives us a lot of
flexibility! ;))
Some days one way works best for me, on another day the other way is
better. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life!
The important thing is to meditate and not be so concerned with form
as to distract yourself from the wonderful "process" of sadhana.
That said, the eyes on the tip of the nose I believe, is for a
grounding process (memory, self awareness, etc) which while connecting
us to our earthly karmas (and erasing them)is very "here and now". The
third eye position is directly and powerfully elevating. It takes us
out of the material plane and connects us with the cosmic "I"
The title of your post was Warrior Pose so I assume you are talking
about the sixth and longest meditation in the daily sadhana routine.
Sitting with the heel on the perenium directly stimulates the third
eye (and the connection to the tenth gate). Some folks get a lot of
energy from doing this posture in this way while concentrating on the
third eye. Sometimes it might be too much. Focusing on the tip of the
nose will moderate the effect but not diminish it. It should give the
practitioner more control if you will over the energy and results of
the meditation.
Hope this helps,
God bless you,
