Insight And Intuition Enhancing Open-Eye Meditation

Steady gazing, or tratak in Sanskrit, is a concentration and purification exercise. Among the six Shat Karmas, yogic purification practices, tratak is known as the simplest to do. It involves gazing at an object or point of focus without blinking, then closing your eyes and continuing to hold the visual of the object in your mind’s eye. Consistent and correct practice of tratak increases concentration and purifies the mind from fluctuating thought patterns, awaken the third eye, and enhance your intuitive skills and higher wisdom. It also has been proven to improve eyesight and stimulates the brain in at least two studies.
