What is Tratak Dhyan?

Tratak Dhyan is a meditative technique where you fix your gaze on an external object (like a candle flame) or an internal image (visualized in the mind). This practice helps clear mental distractions and allows the practitioner to attain a heightened state of awareness.

Preparation

Practice in a distraction-free, dimly lit room
If using a candle, place it at eye level about 2-3 feet away from you.
Ensure the flame is steady and not flickering due to air movement
Sit in a cross-legged position (e.g., Sukhasana) or on a chair with a straight back.
Keep your head, neck, and spine aligned.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind.
Fix your gaze on the chosen object without blinking.
Fix your gaze on the chosen object without blinking.
Maintain an unwavering focus for as long as you can without blinking
If tears form in your eyes, allow them to flow naturally.
After gazing for a few minutes (or until your eyes feel strained), gently close your eyes.
Visualize the image of the object in your mind’s eye. Focus on this mental image as long as possible.
Open your eyes slowly and return to normal awareness.
End the session with gratitude and reflection.
