i-wise

Oh No No. Don't misunderstand the title. I am not talking about me being wise, I am not even talking about new version from apple after ipod, ipad.

This was my class of ladies seeking inner wisdom...

This month they focused on eyes. In upanishads there one whole chapter/book on Chakshopanishad. What would our eyes be without the jyoti inside? Who is the revered care taker of this vision inside this organ? Sun God, ofcourse. we invoke this energy of sun by chanting 9 times (in case Sun is too busy to hear the first time if he himself busy with his ipod) to establish power of vision in my eyes, to protect me, to cure me and reveal sun'd golden fiery energy inside my both eyes.

Getting list of care for my eyes...

every morning mouth full of water and continue baloon in and out cheeks (this is not to cleanse the mouth but for eye mustle and ducts). while you do that sprinckle water over both eyes.

soak trifalaa and keep filtered water in the fridge just like other juices and dip eyes in eyecup filled with this and blink.

everytime eyes feel tired dip cotton in rose water and give it relaxation.

avoid wearing rubber slippers

walk in morning grass covered with dew drops for few min.

rub your palms in between use of tv/ computer and cover your closed eyes with warmth of palms and imagine complete black and then either greens or blues.

and last but effective one is scalp massage.

In yog sat karma, 6 cleansing techniques are recommended, Trataka is one of those six. We did in 2 ways. first, Jatru tratak where you follow eyes to tip of the thumb from middle to sides. and Secondly, Jyoti Tratak, where you do candle gazing in steps, effortless gazing, intese dharanaa, defocussing or expansion gazing, and silence to take it all in. Let the water drip out of those duct, its great at physical level for cleansing. At higher level it opens gates for third eye or your intuitive abilities.

other benefits of trataka are.. improves stamina of eyes, makes eyes clear and radient, cleanses tear gland, refraction gets corrected, nervous system gets balanced and helps in insomnia, anxiety and depression.

Dont practice is u are stressed, headache or brain illness or glycoma etc.

Lot of people coming forward with how this helped them with after 40 blurry vision, strong numbers etc. Mantra is generally practiced first thing in the morning just before sun rises while sky is changing.

Hmmm, teacher ji, will this allow me read menu in restaurant and my sms without those glasses, please? Can I figure out what my child is texting away while gazing at my face?! This young generation is really master at multi tasking, they stare at you ans rest of the body still while their fingers can type away scripture!
