I've done tratak before. I recently went to a mini retreat and part of it was this practice for good 20 minutes. The only saw one color lol, blue which per your ebook is connected to the throat chakra. I've always needed to do work on this chakra, its like you said due to poor communication. Planning on doing 30 days morning tratak and see how my communication improves. Thanks for the video and for the reminder to get more serious about my health. Sending warm hugs and gratitude 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience with Tratak meditation, and I'm thrilled to hear about your participation in the retreat! It's fascinating that you saw blue during your practice, aligning with the throat chakra's energy. Your plan to focus on Tratak for 30 days in the mornings sounds excellent. Remember, your journey with the chakras is deeply personal, and it’s amazing to see you taking proactive steps towards self-improvement. I look forward to hearing about your progress and the positive changes you experience. Warm hugs and gratitude right back at you! Keep nurturing your health and inner voice. 🙏💙
For best experience: 1. Practice early morning or in the evening before bedtime for 14 to 21 days. You can start with 10 minutes and slowly take the practice to 20 minutes over a few months. 2. Remove your spectacles/lenses before you begin the practice 3. Keep your palms on your knees, facing downwards during this practice. You don't need to hold any mudra during the practice. 4. Practice in a dark room. 5. Share your experiences and the colors you observed in the comments below!
Another incredible video Abhi. I need more clarity to make an important decision before the end of this year which will affect my entire year of 2024 tremendously. I am totally committed to your 14 day recommendation. Thanks for the guidance.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for committing to the 14-day Tratak meditation practice! It's great to hear that you're looking to gain more clarity for your important decision. Wishing you all the best for your decision-making process and an amazing year ahead in 2024! Keep breathing and stay focused. 🙏🧘♂
I see yellow. The ebook says it reflect personal power, confidence, or issues related to control and freedom and that i need to practice affirmations that boost self-esteem. I am down for that. Thanks so much!
Thank you for downloading our e-book. Yellow indeed symbolizes aspects like personal power and confidence. It's insightful of you to connect this with the guidance in the ebook about the solar plexus chakra. Affirmations can be a powerful tool to enhance self-esteem and address issues related to control and freedom. I encourage you to embrace these affirmations wholeheartedly in your daily routine. Remember, the journey to self-empowerment and confidence is ongoing and deeply rewarding. I'm here to support you every step of the way. Sending love and blessings💛🙏

Boa tarde. Moro no Brasil, e prático o alinhamento de chakras e ajna, esses dias atrás quando prendi a respiração pude ver o meu ajna e fui entrando nele enquanto prendia a respiração, a minha impressão é que preciso subir mais energia para o mesmo! Eu quando tinha 20 anos de idade eu o abri sem saber o que era! E fui descobrindo com o passar dos anos! Eu conquistei muitas coisas a partir daquele dia! Eu imaginava e me via de posse de algo e em poucos dias era meu! Agora tem 06 anos que eu prático o alinhamento dos chakras. E estou vendo mudanças acontecerem novamente. Uma das coisas que estou observando e que para algo acontecer tem que ter sentimento ou seja o sentimento e o segredo….

This always apear when you look for a some time to a form/ color . I'm a artist en paintingteacher and we use this methide to explain the spectrums of the color circel. 😅😅😉
Hi @1Opstelten, thank you for sharing your experience and insight! 😊 You’re absolutely right-when we focus on a color for some time, we often see its complementary color afterward. It’s fascinating how the same principle applies to both meditation and art! 🎨✨ As an artist and painting teacher, your connection to the color spectrum must bring an extra layer of understanding to Trataka meditation. It’s incredible how visual phenomena like this can deepen our practice. 😅😉 Thanks again for your comment and welcome to the community! 🙏💖 Sending many Blessings, The School of Breath Team

Thank you for sharing your experience, @MBellishbyCharMega!

To dive deeper into what these colors mean and how they relate to your energy centers, I recommend downloading our Chakra Balance eBook. It includes detailed interpretations of each chakra and their associated colors. Enjoy exploring the insights it offers! 🌈 www.meditatewithabhi.com/chakra-balance-ebook
And I am disabled I do not think I can sit in a pose like that my one hand cannot move upwards like that and if I sit on the floor I won't be able to get back up can you do this in a comfortable chair
Hi there, thank you for your question. Absolutely you can sit on a chair. Make sure to keep your spine straight and the candle at eye level. Sending blessings for your practice ❤🙏
@ziaseverin569 That’s amazing! ✨ It sounds like you’re tuning into some deep visual awareness through the Trataka meditation. Stay with the practice, and you may notice even more subtle changes over time. Keep exploring! 🙏
Yes I have heard of aphantasia. Is there a way to overcome it? I get a lot of crazy dreams which make no sense at all! Many are so bizarre, that there's no way I could explain them to you! Lol! @@TheSchoolofBreath
Amazing! 10 minutes is a lot. It shows you have a great meditation practice. Sending much love and blessings for your meditation journey. Cheers! Abhi ❤️🙏
Hi @גביסיידר 👋, Great question! Candle gazing, or Trataka, is a beautiful practice but can take time to master without blinking. Here are a few tips: 1️⃣ Start small: Aim to stare at the flame for just a few seconds at first, gradually increasing the time as your eyes adjust. 2️⃣ Blink naturally: If your eyes feel strained, it’s okay to blink! Over time, your focus and endurance will improve. 3️⃣ Stay relaxed: Keep your gaze soft and avoid forcing it. You’ll find that relaxation helps reduce the need to blink. 4️⃣ Keep the flame at eye level to avoid unnecessary strain on your neck and eyes. The goal is to cultivate stillness and focus, so don’t worry about perfection-it’s all part of the process. Let us know how it goes! ✨🙏
Hi, thank you for your question. Seeing red indicates root chakra, a need for grounding or a connection to physical health and stability. We have a detailed explanation in our free ebook. You can download it here www.meditatewithabhi.com/trataka-colors Sending much love and blessings ❤🙏
Yes, that is fine. It's better to do the exercise without glasses so you can sit a little closer. Please let us know if you have more questions. Good luck for you practice Cheers Abhi 🙏
Hi Shruti, thanks for letting us know. We usually disable mid-roll ads during meditation. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. All fixed. Enjoy your session.
Hi there, yes, trataka meditation can be practiced by individuals of any religion, including Christianity. Trataka, or “fixed-gaze” meditation, is a technique that involves focusing on a single point, such as a candle flame, a dot, or an object, to improve concentration and calm the mind. This method focused purely on mindfulness and self-awareness, without any religious or spiritual affiliations. It is adaptable to diverse personal beliefs. Hope this helps. Enjoy the practice.
For more insights into the colors you see in your tratak meditation and their meanings, check out our eBook: www.meditatewithabhi.com/trataka-colors
This is perfect. It even has a section on what to do to heal the chakra. Thanks buddy.
This is very valuable. Thanks for the tips how to balance the chakra. No i know how to fix it. I saw orange btw.

I'm one of those who cannot visualise very well. What can I do please?
Understood and a really good question. Do you know about Aphantasia ? How are your dreams ? Do you ever get vivid dreams ?
Yes I have heard of aphantasia. Is there a way to overcome it? I get a lot of crazy dreams which make no sense at all! Many are so bizarre, that there's no way I could explain them to you! Lol! @@TheSchoolofBreath
I can gaze for over 10 minutes i saw red with some orange
Amazing! 10 minutes is a lot. It shows you have a great meditation practice. Sending much love and blessings for your meditation journey. Cheers! Abhi ❤️🙏

I saw strong purple
I have by doing Trataka for 2 weeks now but when I closed my eyes I see the flame as red… what does the colour red mean please?

What if i have spectacles and i can't see flame clearly from the ideal distance? Can i sit more closure to see flame clearly?
Yes, that is fine. It's better to do the exercise without glasses so you can sit a little closer. Please let us know if you have more questions. Good luck for you practice Cheers Abhi 🙏
