Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 I have been practicing the gazing technique and have appreciated the helpful comments. So far, it seems that I haven't reached the point of getting past that ocean of ego, but it sure seems to be pulling a lot of that ego stuff to the surface. However, I am very near sighted. I don't usually like to meditate with my glasses--they just seem to be a "block" somehow (also catch reflections from candles during gazing). Still, without them, I can't really see the picture clearly. It's more of a blurry image I'm looking at it. Any suggestions for a "4-eyes"?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 How far are you from the photo. I think you should be 8 feet but if you need to be closer go ahead. Additionally, I've made an enlarged version of the photo for group sessions.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 about 3 or 4 feet from the photo. its still a blur that close. I have really bad eyesight. 8 feet seems far away. even so, it does seem to be having subtle effects, a sort of pulling up and out of old "stuff" attached to ego. sukhmani - Dharam Singh Kundaliniyoga Sunday, December 09, 2001 5:43 PM Re: one more question about gazing How far are you from the photo.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 3 or 4 feet is fine. Let your mind see. Don't strain your eyes...see with relaxed eyes and facial muscles and I believe without glasses is best. Allow yourself, your prana and mind to merge. Gaze as long as you can without blinking. There is a small book compiled by Gurucharan Singh on gazing. Tratakam is n the title, I believe. There are some preparatory exercise in it that are good for the prana of the eyes.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2001 Report Share Posted December 10, 2001 You might want to try gazing at a flame. This would not require precise vision. In fact, when you do it, the flame takes many shapes. Sit about 7 ft. away and gaze through "snake eyes" (this is closing your eyes equal amounts from the top and bottom. It is sort of like squinting but with equal amount of closure with the top and bottom eyelids) Picture the flame in the back of your head. It will go there with practice. The flame should be at the same height as your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't strain your eyes...see with relaxed eyes and facial muscles and I believe without glasses is best. Allow yourself, your prana and mind to merge. I like that. Actually look with your third eye into his third eye. This is the connection you want. It won't strain your eyes and won't matter if you can see clearly. You will know what clear is from your third eye. And a hot tip for those going to Solstice. Look into the third eye of your partner with your third eye. These are the instructions we got at the last Tantric Course I attended. It works so much better. You can stay very steady this way. No wandering from one eye to the next. >Gaze as long as you can without blinking. There is a small book compiled by Gurucharan Singh on gazing. Tratakam is n the title, I believe. This is also in my book Relax and Renew. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 thank you. I did try with glasses a few minutes this morning, but took them off, it does seem to interrupt the flow. sukhmani - Dharam Singh Kundaliniyoga Monday, December 10, 2001 7:25 AM Re: one more question about gazing 3 or 4 feet is fine.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 thank you for the help. yes, I am beginning to sense that I need to be focusing on the third eye, and that my physical vision is not where the emphasis should be. and thanks for the solstice tip! Really, my Gazing practice has been a way of preparing for Tantric, and the connection with Yogiji that comes from that. sukhmani - Gururattan K.Khalsa Kundaliniyoga Monday, December 10, 2001 3:47 PM Re: one more question about gazing Sat Nam, Actually look with your third eye into his third eye.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Hello again, Could somebody please explain what is meant by the "gazing technique"? Is it like scrying? Or something completely different? (Sorry for so many questions and so little knowledge....) Divinity Bless ~kebet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
