Tratak is one of the six types of hatha yoga, which works wonder if practiced
continuously at constant place and time without a gap of single day. There are six
types of Hathayoga namely, Dhauti., Vasti., Neti., Nauli., Tratak & Kapalbhati.
Tratak literally means constant Gazing at particular thing without blinking the
eyes .We can perform tratak on photograph of Guruji, beloved Deity or on desired
object according to our choice and taste.
Advantages- We develop mental power to read others mind. We achieve ultimate peace,
We also develop supernormal faculties such as foresight, hypnotic power, wonderful
memory.
3.) Outer Tratak:- Outer Tratak is done by continuously gazing at sky, moon,
star, tree, temple etc. It can be done at any time of the day. Sometimes we should
be calm and move to open space. We should be alone and , we should look at vast
sky. We must stare at it with open eyes. We have to think about the wonders of
God..about the almighty, who created this wonderful world, stars, planets, living
creatures and the vast universe. After having divine thoughts in mind we have to be
calm and observe silence around us. Let the mind be free from words, images or any
further thoughts. This way we should perform outer Tratak every day.
Repeat these lines firmly once you feel gloomy or Demoralized.... We shall
overcome.. we shall overcome.. we shall overcome someday...Ham Honge Kamyab
Ekdin...
Believe me these lines will Re-boost you with Positive energy..
All the best..!!
Thanks
With warm regards from,

Friend, Tratak will surely help you but for this what all you need is to
maintain proper regularity.
Practicing Tratak regularly at same place and time will bring sure success in
realizing one's dream.
Bindu Tratak as you said is best to begin with.
Have no confusion in this chaste practice...Be an active practitioner....have
faith....it will work wonder.....
May you achieve your Goal...

Dear Sauve,
Its my pleasure to listen from you.
There are many practical Benefits of Practicing Tratak or what we say
Constant Gazing.
Remark a very important point here.
Only Gazing will not help you anyway.
I believe that our mind is a Road Romio..It's a wanderer.It likes to move
from place to place & from jump from branch to branch.
So in the Begining You can not expect a compleate Peace of Mind at Once.
You can not be Thought less just by simply gazing.
Even if you gaze for hours, you will not get optimum desired result.
So what can Do For you.
Practically speaking from my own experience...During gazing, try to Focus
your attention on only one thing that you want to get in your life.
For example, if you want to gain physical strength then perform tratak on a
white plane Paper with the written word 'Strength' at the Center.
You can also perform Tratak on The God or Goddess which is regarded as a
symbol of Strength.
Then constantly look at the Picture or the Word and feel as if you were
getting strength.Feel that you are Developing strength.
Involve emotion along with Constant gazing.
I am sure this way You mind will be One Pointed very Soon.
As you proceed in the Practice You will reach such state when There will be
no Thought at all...and then you can Directly communicate with you Sub concious
mind & can directly alter its Programming.
You can get numerous of Practical outputs from this...such as Developing
gigantic Will power..Self confidence..High Concentration...Good memory with longer
Retention ability...The most powerful result that i appreciate out of it is...the
power of Visualization...!!!
Believe me you can get all these just by practicing regularly.
Coming to the second part of your question.
See..different people have different mind as well as body tolerance.
Some can walk a distance of 10 kilometer without being Tired while other
may not even walk upto 5 kilometer..Some eats 8 bread while other may be satisfied
by eating just 3 bread.
So what time you will take to accomplish the desired result will depend on
your Mental purity..if its not pure it will keep on wandering..its very tuff to
Stabalize an impure Mind.
Anyway..I assure that it is possible to calm down the mind & get desirable
result by a Regular practice of Tratak with involving Emotion and actually feeling
that you are getting the thing that you want to get.
I think that, Daily practice of Tratak for 10 to 20 minute at the same time
and same place will bring a noticeable Result within 20 to 25 days.
As you proceed further You will yourself Discover mamy advantages in your
real Life.
Thanks.
God bless you.

Pranam
But we know that mind is a mischievous monkey that keeps on jumping from
branch to branch, so its very tough for a beginner to cutoff
thoughts from mind. We can not directly reach a state of thoughtless
awareness.
That's why it is sometime recommended to chant Mantra while we practice
Middle Tratak.
While chanting Mantra you must feel the live force of that mystic sound..
you must feel its power..you should be alive with it..
This way it would be very easy for you to concentrate all your mental
energy at a point which is very much important as you will develop
better clarity of mind and as you will continue your practice you will be
able to concentrate even in unfavorable condition.
Now I must say you very clearly that changing your mantra frequently means
changing your own mind... it means to distribute you energy
in different directions which i think will not be favorable for any one of
us.
Recall that sunlight distributed in different directions can produce little
heating effect but when concentrated at a point with a Convex lens
can raise the temperature upto flash point to burn a piece of paper.
So don't change your Mantra... Have anyone according to your choice and
taste and concentrate on it... feel it..
Always remember that it not the mantra that works wonders actually its your
own dedication towards that mantra that brings amazing effects.
Its your own emotion attached with it.. have faith, your mantra will
work... it will change your life... if you have no faith it is just a syllable
sound nothing else.
Finally i will recommend you to stick to one mantra and initiate your
Tratak practice.. you will yourself feel the change as you continue your practice.
In advance state you will not need any continuous mantra chanting because
you Subconscious mind will always be ready to serve you when you repeat that Mantra
only for couple of minute or may be for a few times only, it depends on how
seriously you are practicing tratak.
One more very very important thing i want to share with you is that I have
heard of a lot from people... they talk about Yoga and spirituality and they only
talk. I mean to say that real and regular practitioners are very few and Yoga only
brings fruit when you practice it regularly without a gap.
Hope you will have better memory and a better life as well...Continue you
practice and enjoy the fruits....
Thanks

Have done tratak since 1980 stop and go. I think I went thru many stages. I
started this week again. After looking at a candle light for 5-10 minutes, I close
my eyes and then I can see a very red light inside. It is round and kind of
shimmering like the light. Then I see the red light rounded by another light , like
blue, pinkish, purple-ish, .It goes to the left of the centre , I think it's
between the eyebrow, then back to center. After some time it may become a white or
blue-ish dot. I keep staring, with my eyes closed. There is very little breathing
going on. I am aware that I have no thoughts, and I can start the thinking process
when I want. I notice too that I kind of have to make an effort to think. Today is
my third day. About 30 minutes into practice I felt waves of happiness, yummie-ness
rising. I have not done the practice for some years now, but I am planning to
continue for a while. I must say that I am a regular(meaning daily) meditator for
many years; I hope I can contribute to your blog. Thanks for the opportunity.

So if you don't practice tratak in proper way then you may have negative
developments....I mean growth in negative direction...
So, practice and Continue Tratak... and just stop if you feel uncomfortable
...because it is not to make us suffocate.. it is for our benefits... You must feel
relax after practicing Tratak
Thanks

Bhrama Muhurat is 3hours 45 mins before sunrise. In earlier days there was
no Google to tell the exact time of sunrise so people use to guess the time and
wake up accordingly.
As you must be aware sun rise sooner in summers and much later in winters.
So I personally check the sunrise time in my city every few days and wake up
accordingly.
I can tell you from my personal experience Amrit Vela (aka Bhrama Muhurat)
is VERY POWERFUL. If you wish to progress spiritually then Amrit vela is a MUST.

Hi Amar...
You can surely improve your speech. See all the obstacles are there in our
mind.
So better to control the mind first. For this you have to practice tratak
for 3 months. Then you will have little bit control over your sub conscious mind...
Once you develop concentration, try to think positively ... feel that you are
gaining clarity of speech. You are improving day by day... Think with
concentration. I hope you will feel the positive side of Tratak. It will help you a
lot..
All the best.

Hello Vikram, Thanks & always appreciate your time and effort for the clear
detailed explanation. I am trying to do tratak meditation. But with the IT support
job its hard to maintain the exact time and schedule. Perhaps , i am still trying
and having few questions:
1) Is it ok to do 2 times daily e.g early morning during brahm muhurat and then
in the evening during the sunset?
2) I am feeling my third eye tingling, is it good sign?
Thanks again,
~Jay

Hi.. Jayesh ..
Nice to listen from you..
See, Yoga is to bless us with health and Vitality... To gain benefits out
of it we need to practice Yogic kriyas comfortably. Yogic exercise adds a new
feeling to our life. You may discover something new out of Meditation or other
Yogic Practices. So, feel free to practice them anytime you wish but ensure you
practice them comfortably... No need for stress or forced stretch.
Now... if you gain concentration of mind.. You turn sensitive.. You will
start noticing minute things in life.. Even someone's flagging hand will provide
you with a Byte of information or more than what you may not expect.. So its
natural to feel you body closely. If you close your eyes you may see your internal
organs clearly. You may visualize the blood flows through your veins and arteries.
So the tingling you feel is natural. I request you not to be fooled by third eye
concepts. No need to go such deep into the new world because once you activate any
of your sense organ more than what is required for a normal human life will harm
you. Actually we don't know how to handle those benedictions of nature which a
normal human donot have. And finally we feel irritated.. People go on pushing
themselves in darkness for solving new riddles of the Nature. In such condition our
mind can certainly play tricks. We may harm our normal mental health. So i always
recommend everyone to get benefits out of Yoga. We don't want you to a great
Yogi..But i want everyone to relish the offering of Yogic Practices.
You need proper health to carry out your daily work. So its better to
maintain proper health. No need to go beyond this.
So if you feel tingling, I shall request you to quit the practice for few
days... Else you may reach advance level in Tratak which may prove to be injurious
to your mind as you will be able to fetch your unconscious mind actively at such
higher level... No need to reprogram our normal mind.. You may follow wrong steps.
To be on safer side its better to quit your practice for a couple of days..
After few days start again. Ten minute of regular practice will bestow a lot to
us............

You may continue with Candle tratak but pay attention never over do it
...as overdoing it means hurrying in process of reprogramming you mind which may
create further trouble for you.
Thanks
Repeat with me.. We shall overcome some day.

See Its clear that Tratak or Any Yogic Kriya for Concentrating your mind
will surely use your Sexual Energy. You have to conserve this energy and Use it to
develop certain ability. Any Extraordinary ability development mental or Physical
will not be possible if your energy is shattered. You have to conserve your energy
and then Focus it to a point be high concentration. Its the only way to achieve a
thing that you want. But once you achieve a thing. You may remain there or you may
return back from there by excess sexual behavior or indulgence. If you Posses
higher Energy state You may feel Omnipotent energy running inside you but at the
same time due to Higher Energy State you shall be Highly Sexual too.. It's Natural
That's why there is Higher Probability of your Downfall too.. Bet alert... Now on
being in higher state, Its completely your Decision to Remain there or to Return
back and Indulge in Sexual Activities and Waste the Entities that you have Gained.
Remember Once you shatter your energy you will loos what you have Got Due to
Concentration of Energy. Energy Conservation is of Paramount Important to Continue
your Higher State. I myself have Experienced this many many Times. Even you might
Notice this on being Sensitive.

Whether you need Shambhavi mudra or Aghori mudra or not Depends on What do you
want to gain or Materialize with your Tratak Practice. If your Goal is not The SELF
REALIZATION then You need not worry about all these. Simply practice Inner Tratak
regularly without a break of single day. Have faith in you.. You shall soon be
benefited by wonderful results including.. High concentration, Clear Mind,
Wonderful memory and Easy & Clear Decision making Capabilities.
