Trāṭaka (Tratak) is a classical yogic kriya (practice) of steady gazing that cultivates mental
clarity, focus, and inner steadiness. By gently resting the eyes and attention on a single point—
often a flame or symbol—the mind becomes quiet and collected, reducing scattered thought and
sensory distraction. Practiced with ease and awareness, Tratak supports visual relaxation,
enhances concentration, and prepares the mind for meditation by fostering calm attention and
inner balance.
