About this Event
Trataka is a traditional yogic practice of steady gazing that trains the mind toward stillness, clarity, and single-pointed focus. By fixing the eyes on one point—most commonly a candle flame—the fluctuations of the mind begin to settle, allowing space for calm awareness to emerge.
This workshop introduces Trataka as a practical and accessible tool to still the mind, relieve stress, and gather scattered thoughts into clear, singular concentration - for everyday mental clarity and emotional balance.
What to Expect
Participants will be guided through a structured experience designed to progressively quiet the mind and deepen focus:
Introduction to Trataka - Understanding the purpose and traditional roots of steady gaze meditation.
Preparation & Grounding - Gentle breath awareness and posture alignment to settle the body and nervous system.
Guided Trataka Practice - Step-by-step instruction in candle gazing, with supported intervals to avoid strain and build concentration safely.
Mental Stillness & Observation - Noticing the shift from scattered thinking to a more steady, focused state of awareness.
