Trataka Meditation involves staring at a single point such as a black dot or candle flame. I prefer a candle flame in a completely dark room. It is said to bring energy to the "third eye" and promote various psychic abilities.
I practice Trataka by fixing my attention to a candle flame while listening to cosmic theta wave music. It鈥檚 difficult to explain in words but my focus is to imagine the cosmos within the flame and try to feel the energy of the universe. Imagine being alone in the outer space travelling between the stars. Like a Star Trek Movie 馃懡
By fixing the gaze, thoughts comes to a halt. You have to control blinking while practicing tratak and its said this practice stimulates the pineal gland which Kundalini Yoga identify with the third eye.
This practice is said to enhance the ability to concentrate. It increases the power of memory and brings the mind to a state of awareness, attention and focus.
Trataka is a powerful practice done by Indian Yogis since ages and I want to experience its potential. I have started experimenting with this practice and will share my experience as I go through it.
This is the music that I listen while doing Trataka.
