AN AUTUMN GIFT FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
As we move through the doorway of a new season, and enter the hold of Autumn it is that time once again to receive the hug of Mother Nature.
A invitation to cocoon and feel embraced.
The colder breezes felt and heard as cleansing whispers of reassurance and clarification.
The shorter daylight as permission to do less, but feel more whole.
Candle gazing (Trataka) meditation is an invitation of bringing the art of stillness to the mind and body. An opportunity to fix your gaze on something with no attachment.
A practice which soothes the rhythms and the ripples of the mind, whilst evolving and elevating clarity, intuition and awareness towards life and the Self.
Working with our external gaze connects us to our sixth chakra, Ajna, the energetic chamber which holds our inner wisdom and intuitive knowing.
As this particular Trataka practice uses a candle flame (other objects of awareness can be used) we are also able to observe the medicine of fire. Natures warmth, the giver of light for focus and clarity, the ignition of strength and bravery, the forceful purifier of Self.
The recorded meditation shared below, as a gift, is an introduction towards this practice, so I will be guiding moments of rest for the gaze throughout. As you develop your own practice eventually, ideally, your eyes will fix awareness for longer moments each time. The optimum practice is for long periods of time without blinking, but please work up this slowly to reduce eye strain and fatigue.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Create your space, free from distractions.
Set a comfortable seat, and you may wish to have a blanket nearby.
Set up your candle (open flame) in a safe and steady space. You ideally want the flame to sit at the natural height of your eye line, about 1 metre away.
Allow yourself a moment of time after the practice to observe the shifts and benefits received.
