Q: What is trataka meditation?
A: Trataka is candle gazing - resting your eyes on a single point, usually a flame, to steady concentration and quiet the mind.

Q: How do I practice with it?
A: In a dim room, set the lit candle about 2 feet in front of you at eye level. Rest your gaze on the flame just above the wick; when your eyes tire, close them and hold the image of the flame in your mind.

Q: Why ghee instead of regular wax?
A: Ghee is the traditional fuel for ceremonial lamps in Ayurveda and burns with a clean, steady, golden flame that's well suited to gazing practice.

Q: Is it scented?
A: No - it's unscented, so nothing distracts during practice.

Q: How long does it burn?
A: About 24 hours of total burn time from the 4 oz jar, in sessions of up to 4 hours.

Q: What's it made of?
A: Organic ghee, coconut wax, and an all-natural cotton wick, in a reusable glass jar with a travel lid.

Q: Can beginners use it?
A: Yes - the steady flame makes it easy for both beginners and experienced practitioners to keep their focus.

Q: Can I reuse the jar?
A: Yes - once the candle burns down, clean out the residue and the glass jar is yours to reuse.
