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:

🔥 embody warmth

🔥 still a busy mind

🔥 find relief from stress + anxiety

🔥 improve concentration + memory

🔥 deepen sleep

🔥 enhance clarity + intuition

🔥 improve your ability to focus.

All you need to do is:

🔥 set a peaceful space with dimmed lightening that you won’t be disturbed.

🔥 place the candle on a hard surface around eye level where you can sit comfortable to watch it.

🔥 light the flame

🔥 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.

🔥 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.
