Please read the write-up very carefully and let me know how you will describe this. "Relaxed" is not bad, but it's not quite accurate either.

Answer 2

Im not sure i mean im suppose to go by his facial expression, and since hes meditating i thought it would be relaxed since his face looks calm

Answer 3

Yes, and you need to find a way to include "meditating" in your description.

Are his eyes open or closed?

Is he smiling or not?

What else???

Answer 4

eyes closed, and a soft smile it looks like.

Answer 5

Or no expression at all. He's meditating. What does one look like while meditating?
