200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh - India

200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in #Rishikesh #India

 

Trataka Kriya:

Trataka, a technique used in meditation practice, is one of the six purification techniques, called shatkarmas, of Hatha yoga. Trataka is a Sanskrit word, which means "to look" or "to gaze." As such, this meditation technique involves starting at a single point of focus. This is typically the flame of a candle, but other objects that may be used include a dot on the wall, an object of worship, a deity, flower, mountain, rising sun or moon. However, a flame is believed to work best.

 

Meditating in this way is believed to energize the Ajna (third eye) chakra, which is associated with intuition and wisdom, as well as psychic abilities. Traditionally, it's said that the practice allows the past, present, and future to be perceived with equal clarity.

Trataka may also be referred to as yogic gazing in English.

 

Additional benefits of trataka include:

 

Strengthens eye muscles

Purifies the eyes

Treats eye disorders

Relieves insomnia

Aids in treating depression

Improves concentration

Calms the mind

Promotes emotional stability

Boosts willpower

Develops intuition and clairvoyance.....♀️🙏
