trataka

the practice of staring at a fixed object, most commonly a candle flame. According to multiple sources, it's been a practice for at least 2,500 years.

🔥 What is Trataka?

Trataka is the ancient yogic practice of fixed gazing — traditionally at a candle flame — used to sharpen the mind, purify the subconscious, and activate deeper states of awareness.

🧠 Mental + Spiritual Benefits

1. Concentration Training (Dharana)

• Builds laser focus — the gateway to deeper meditation (Dhyana)

• Trains single-pointed awareness in a world of constant distraction

2. Subconscious Cleansing

• Old memories, emotions, and mental noise rise and release

• Think of it as psychic detox — helps clear the slate internally

3. Intuition Activation

• Stimulates the Ajna chakra (third eye)

• Enhances inner clarity, dream recall, and symbolic insight

4. Trauma Integration

• Helps gently resurface repressed material

• Builds emotional resilience by witnessing your inner world without judgment

👁️ Physical + Energetic Benefits

1. Strengthens the Eyes

• Improves visual stamina and focus

• May reduce screen-related eye strain and slow myopia

2. Balances the Nervous System

• Moves you from stress (fight-or-flight) into calm (parasympathetic)

• Supports lower cortisol levels and emotional regulation

3. Enhances Sleep & Rhythm

• Helps reset your circadian clock when done at night

• Firelight soothes the nervous system better than blue light

🧘‍♂️ How to Practice Trataka

📍 Setup

• Sit comfortably, spine upright (chair or floor)

• Place a candle at eye level, about 2–3 feet away

• Dim the room — the flame should be the brightest object

• Breathe slow, steady, and relaxed

👁 Practice Steps

1. Gaze at the tip of the flame (not the base or wick)

2. Avoid blinking as long as possible — let the tears come

3. When eyes burn or water, close them gently

4. With eyes closed, visualize the flame at your third eye (between the brows)

5. When the inner image fades, open your eyes and repeat

6. Keep your focus internal, calm, and curious

⏱️ Suggested Duration

• Beginner: 3–5 minutes (1–2 rounds)

• Intermediate: 10–15 minutes

• Advanced: 20–30 minutes (ideally under guidance)

🌒 Best Times to Practice

• Evening: Before bed to wind down

• Early morning (Brahma Muhurta): For clarity and energetic reset

⚠️ Contraindications
Avoid if you have:

• Epilepsy

• Glaucoma

• Schizophrenia

• History of hallucinations or migraines

i know your reading comprehension isn't on par with most high schoolers, but I hate to inform you that i never said either of those rules were "new". I explicitly said:

"Interestingly, the very first rule was: “No bountying members under any circumstances.” I found the timing and emphasis to be suspicious."

i begged her to move on while we were together, she only left when she found out i was involved with someone else, and she found that out after i begged her to leave my house lol. 

it's not a net, i didn't want her for a full calendar year before this happened. she wouldn't let me go. she only left after I told her i was talking to another girl she didn't like

i've been detached for a while

im not mad, i never claimed to be mad, at most i was a bit upset initially but now im just enjoying the troll 

its continuing to affect me because its not in the past. her existence on this game is detrimental to my success.

my faction kicked me, i lost plenty of net worth by investing on her stocks and growth, and its not wasting my time because i'm no longer invested in this game

i've already played this long so i figured id exhaust my resources before i deactivate my account. its actually quite fulfilling 

it wasn't acceptable, she wouldn't leave when i asked her too lol

when i left she'd call me on every social media until i answered and convince me things would be different

i sincerly hope she does find a "real" man to take care of her. I promise im getting plenty.

lol if only i was legally allowed to share how gross we both were. consider yourself neo

Most days, I look up an American and global today in history fact, along with some quotes, and I'll share some of my favorites here. I'll update regularly as time and attention permits.

TiH:

International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition is marked on August 23 because the night of Aug 22–23, 1791 in Saint-Domingue (Haiti) ignited the Haitian Revolution—the only successful large-scale slave uprising, culminating in Haitian independence (1804). That revolt helped accelerate abolitionist movements across the Atlantic world and permanently exposed the economics of slavery.

Quotes:

 It is not things themselves that disturb us, but our opinions about them. — Epictetus, Enchiridion 5

I always entertain great hopes - Robert Frost

These are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others - Groucho Marx

Give the world a reason to remember your name - x
