Tratak
Dhayan
This dhyan is a very powerful
method of clearing out mind clogs. Again it utilizes breath ; a change in the
pattern of breathing. Simultaneously focusing is done by bringing all of your
attention at one particular point. The object can be a idol, master’s picture,
waterfall, river flow, tree, it can be anything of nature. But if it is a
master’s picture or if possible the presence of the guru is more then perfect.
Four steps
involved in this particular Meditation
Step 1: Begin with prayer ;
get your mind and body ready for it. Be honest and sincere in doing the whole
process. Seek blessings of god who is not a person but existence.
Step 2: Now start with fast
breathing. Go for rapid inhaling and exhaling. Do it faster and faster as if it
is your last breath ; or last moment to live the urgency to breathe. Put more
stress on exhaling. Push it out with all your strength. If you feel like taking
a pause o.k. but do not stop for a longer time. Best is to do it continuously
Now on command which will be after 20 minutes come back to normal breathing.
Open your eyes and keep eyes focused on one point. Go for very deep inhalation
and exhale it out. Constantly keep your eyes focused on one place. This goes on
for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Now close your eyes,
relax and listen to the music. Feel freeto express in any way you like to do.
Step 4: Here we end the Dhyan by bowing our head
in the Lotus Feet of Dear Lord.
