Tratak - Eyes cleansing method
Tratak, also referred to as candle tratak,
is a technique of concentrating on some extent of sunshine; serving as a visual
reminder to make use of cheerful attitudes in living.
Inside your meditation place, sit up
straight facing an occasional desk and light a candle. Fold your fingers in your
lap.
-
Take some moments to simply take a
look at the flame, letting your eyes virtually shut. Start to really feel
the warmth of sunshine emanating from the candle flame. It can be a reminder
that still a little kindness, from optimistic procedures, makes one other's
day hotter and brighter.
-
If you happen to do close your eyes
you will probably see the reverse color of the candle flame in your vision.
Focus on that for a minute or as long as you can.
-
Now, begin to breathe evenly: breathe
in counts 1, 2; breathe out counts three, four; breathe in counts 5, 6, and
go on for another minute.
-
Giving up of counting but continue to
breathe evenly. Reflect on how you might add one form of cheerful activity
for a life, similar to: displaying patience; being kind; allowing another to
express themselves with out interruption; adopting an perspective of bearing
in mind a glass half full fairly than half empty; doing a volunteer
activity; serving to an individual in want.
End your consideration using a prayer or
affirmations of properly wishes for household, friends, community and world
peace. ....
Take a deep inhale, stand and stretch.
