Candle Gazing
Trataka or Candle Gazing is gentle practice to guide your mind to slow down, your thoughts to empty, to bring you to a state of presence.
Candle Gazing is a perfect practice to:
π₯ embody warmth
π₯ still a busy mind
π₯ find relief from stress + anxiety
π₯ improve concentration + memory
π₯ deepen sleep
π₯ enhance clarity + intuition
π₯ improve your ability to focus.
All you need to do is:
π₯ set a peaceful space with dimmed lightening that you wonβt be disturbed.
π₯ place the candle on a hard surface around eye level where you can sit comfortable to watch it.
π₯ light the flame
π₯ keep a soft gaze watching the subtle flickerings, the difference is colours + softness in the lines. Try not to fidget or blink just watch gently.
π₯ when you feel ready after a few minutes close your eyes + you may see the image of the flame in your minds eye.
You can repeat if you feel drawn to for as long as you like.
Love to hear about your experiences ππΌ
