Trataka Tonic: A Steady Gaze Meditation Workshop

Discover the ancient yogic practice of Trataka, the art of steady gazing, designed to enhance focus, mental clarity, and inner calm.
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.
