Trataka Meditation (Tratak)

Trataka

Trataka is one of the most effective type of meditation method. It comes from the ancient Hindu Sadhnas. Actually, trataka is only a single part of sadhnas. Sadhna actually contains multiple procedures like aasan, neti, yoga, tratak, poojan, mantra jap, havan etc. You may have read some old books on trataka for the benefits of trataka. But still there are some confusions related to trataka. Then you are at the correct place. Here you will know everything about the Trataka.

Tratak is done by focusing your eyes on a single object. The longer and more efficiently you do it, the more you will achieve success. For your eyes to be stable you firstly need a stable mind. If you don't have that, don't worry, you will slowly start developing stability of mind while practising trataka. This is a vice versa theory. Eyes to mind and mind to eyes. This could also be called as a Trataka yogic exercise for eyes in Spiritualism.

Trataka and Hypnotism

It must be understood that tratak is a part of sadhna and not a complete sadhna in itself. But in case of hypnotism, it is complete in achieving the hypnotism power in your eyes. It develops fire in your eyes in which everyone will get influenced. You just have to look into the eyes of the person and he will start acting according to your will. This is the power of your eyes. Which you have to develop with very much hard work. You must be little patient and consistent.

It provides us with strong will power, strong meditation, third eye activation or agya chakra activation, seeing our own spiritual self, Yoga Nidra and even Dev darshan at its final stages.

2. Middle Trataka - Jyoti Trataka Bindu Trataka

In middle trataka, we have to keep our eyes open and concentrate on some real world object. For starting we use a dot on a white paper. We have to place this paper in front of our eyes and concentrate on it. Slowly the dot starts to disappear, at this stage we have to know that our first step towards success has been achieved. Then we have to move to different levels like concentration on candle or diya flame. In this we have to focus on flame.

3. Outer Trataka - Surya Tratak

It is done with open eyes, but we have to concentrate on celestial bodies. Celestial bodies means the objects in the space like moon, sun, planets, stars, asteriods etc. But in case of sun we can only perform trataka in morning and evening time only that is sunrise and sunset only. This is started with firstly looking at a star for some days 15 minutes daily. Then we move on to moon. And then finally to the sun. Personal experience is best on moon. It gives unexpected powers like creativity, strong attraction among people, strong memory power, control over our anger, get a solution to every problem and also we feel that we are not bothered now from how much big problem come in our life. Even we get intuitions of future either in thoughts or dreams. So we can plan an activity according to that.
