I have looked up on the internet this "TRATAKA type of meditation" that you spoke of. I do not believe in coincidence...and I am being completely honest here, I did not know before reading this post what Trataka was until I looked it up and it said on Wikipedia
| Quote: |
| Trataka (in Sanskrit to look, or to gaze) is the practice of staring at some external object. |

The second stage is staring at a candle flame. The practice is the same up until the eyes begin to water, after which the eyes are closed, and the yogi tries to concentrate on the after image, and hold it for as long as possible. At first, it will be a real after-image, but later, it will exist only in the mind's eye, and the exercise in concentration comes from trying to maintain it there for a long period of time.
Trataka is supposedly the technique which sadhakas use to develop psychic powers. Trataka on the Sun or one's own mirror image is considered to be extremely powerful, but without a guru's assistance it can be dangerous to try these. |
I was doing this without knowing what it was or anything about it. I just did it because that is what came to mind. Do you know how or why it would be dangerous? I was yesterday concentrating on the flame of a candle. I have been very in "tune" to everything around me lately. I know everything happens as it may for a reason.
What do you think? Please also read my post that I entered earlier today above this one.
Love and Light,
Rebecca
