Brumadhya Drishthi - The Inner Gaze

Technique:

• Take a comfortable sitting position and turn the gaze to the base of the nose, thus creating a cross-eyed position.
• Raise the eyes slightly, so that this cross-eyed gaze now falls directly between the eyebrows, then
• Close your eyelids and hold this point of concentration inwardly.
• Periodically open your eyes to see if this point is being maintained, then close them once again.
• Hold this concentration for several minutes.
• After these practices of eye-gazing, you can perform a simple technique for eye relaxation known as a pranic poultice:
• Maintaining a comfortable seated position, rapidly rub the palms of the hands together, exciting the prana into the nadis of the hands, then ...
• Close the eyes and cup the hands over the eyes, blocking out all light.
• Lean slightly forward, resting the elbows upon the knees and let the head rest forward onto the hands.
• Repeat this 2 or 3 times, holding each time for a minute or two (or until the warmth of the hands has dissipated).
• Finish by sitting upright.
• Remove the hands but keep the eyes closed.
• Gently turn the head from side to side.
• Continuing this movement, blink the eyes open and closed several times, slowly re-admitting the light back into them.
