The Healing Tears

Kriya Yoga Tratak Eye Technique - The Healing Tears

The tears created by this exercise are very special. They will soothe and cleanse the eyes, wash away toxic residues and pollution from daily life, and they contain extra-ordinary healing properties not yet known to western medical science.

How to do it

Put a black dot on a small piece of plain white paper or 3x5 card, and fix it to the wall, at eye level. If you are nearsighted, make the dot about the size of a ping pong ball, if you‟re far sighted, make the dot nice and small.

Sit about 3 or 4 feet (a meter) away from the wall.

First, you need to get your eyes moving with some exercises.Don't move your head whilst you do this round of "eye aerobics‟!

Blink very quickly and as hard as you can 20 times Open your eyes wide and look up to the top of your head, then down to your chin.

Look far to the left, then to the right.

Then do the diagonal corners, all 4 of them

Now circle the eyes around in a large circle, twice slowly and once quickly. Do it clockwise and then anticlockwise.

Hold your thumb 12 inches (30cm) in front of you and focus on it. Then switch your focus to the wall for a moment, and then back again. Do this 10 times.

OK, now‟s a good time for a bit of palming.

Next, open your eyes as wide as possible and stare at the dot.

DO NOT BLINK OR SQUINT. Keep your eyes wide open. Keep your head absolutely still.

At first, this will be difficult, and the urge to blink will be difficult to control, but after a while, you‟ll be able to do the whole exercise without blinking once.

Keep staring at the dot, without blinking, squinting or moving your head until you begin feeling pin-pricks, twitches, itching or a slight burning sensation in your eyes. These feelings are known as Kriyas by the Yogis, and they are a sign that your eyes and optic nerve are being regenerated and healed.

Sometimes, the feelings are quite uncomfortable, and it‟s really hard to keep your eyes open, but do your best to keep them as wide as possible.

Soon after the sensations begin, your eyes will start to make tears, which is the very thing we are trying to do.

Once the tears start to flow, close your eyes and allow the tears to be absorbed.

When the tears have been absorbed by the eyes (10 to 20 seconds), wipe your eyes with a tissue, handkerchief or towel, and stare again at the dot until the tears return.

Do the routine at least 4 times during each session. Try to stay relaxed and at ease during this exercise, don‟t force or strain your eyes - keep breathing slowly and calmly.

Notes:

If you‟ve been using chemical eye-drops up to now, then throw them away and use this exercise instead … much, much better.

Over the days and weeks as you do this exercise, it may begin to take longer and longer for the tears to come. This is a great sign, and means that your eyes are healing!
