Tratakais a form of meditation where the practitioner focuses on a single point, commonly a candle flame, to harness one’s focus & awareness on the present moment. Trataka helps to purify the mind, strengthen concentration & improve memory. It is also recommended to cleanse, cool & soothe the eyes after prolonged screen time & can improve overall eye health.
Our Trataka Candle is handmade with ghee, which is clarified cow's milk butter. In Ayurveda & Hinduism, a ghee candle is the preferred candle to use during puja, or sacred ceremony. This candle is considered to put off an ojas building glow that heals & strengthens the immune system. Ghee also draws in sattvic, or harmonious, frequencies to calm the body, mind & spirit.

How to Use:
- In a darkened room, find a comfortable seat on your meditation blanket or pillow.
- Light your Trataka Ghee Candle & set it 2 feet in front of you at eye level.
- Close your eyes & as you exhale, exhale out through the mouth, connecting with the earth below you.
- As you inhale, feel the spine lengthen, bringing you into proper alignment.
- Focus on abdominal breathing, allowing the belly to expand with the inhale & contract with the exhale.
- When your breath becomes calm & even, open your eyes & rest your gaze on the middle part of the flame, right above the tip of the wick.
- Keep your eyes on the flame without blinking.
- Once your eyes begin to water, close your eyes & bring your awareness to the ajna chakra or third eye center, maintaining the image of the flame in your mind’s eye.
- You can close your practice here or continue with a seated meditation, with the eyes closed.
