Trataka is a yogic purification (a shatkarma) and a tantric method of meditation that involves staring at a single point such as a small object, black dot or candle flame. It is said to bring energy to the "third eye" (ājňā chakra) and promote various psychic abilities. 'Tratak' begins with fixing the gaze at one single point for a certain period of time. The mind is subtle and difficult to catch, however gaze can be fixed at a point, and eventually the mind too gets focussed. There is a subtle connection between your body movements and cognitive power of the mind. As we are able to cease the restlessness of eyes seeking something or the other, by fixing its gaze, the restlessness of mind too comes to a halt. Tratak meditation extends beyond a simple gaze; it is about attuning to your higher-self. If a seeker sincerely practices Tratak daily, he will quickly experience the beauty it adds to his life. The seeker is filled with will power, determination and focus. The mind energy which was dispersed into various thoughts comes to one single point. And this point sinks too into vast silence. It is a highly apt meditation for students, for it not only sharpens memory and improves concentration, it also brings with it relaxation and stress relief. The meditation music as a backdrop facilitates the seeker to absorb the technique in a beautiful manner and discover the treasure of peace and tranquillity within.
