What Is Tratak Meditation?
Tratak is a classical yogic concentration practice where you gaze steadily at a candle flame without blinking. This focused attention strengthens the mind, steadies the eyes, and trains you to stay present without distraction.
As the eyes remain fixed on the flame, the mind begins to quieten naturally. Over time, Tratak helps dissolve mental clutter, enhances inner awareness, and improves cognitive sharpness.
At Ukroots, this practice is guided by trained instructors, ensuring you experience the technique safely, comfortably, and effectively.
