Have you ever done Candle Gazing? I have with a group of Advanced Yogis.

Keep your eyes on the Candle Flame and listen to the music
Try to clear your mind of all thought.
You might be able to see the flame change to something different.

A weired sensation if you wander bring your mind back to what you are suppose to do.

You might float or see different colours.

The music is very peaceful and calms your thoughts.

You will have to relax your body at the same time.

You are of course allowed to blink.

After 10 or 15 mins

Close your eyes and visualize the candle and flame.

You might see a blue halo around the flame.

When the visulation fades

Bring it back.

If you begin to see the candle as black within a white halo
then you are halfway there.
Go back to candle and look more.

After you close your eyes cover them with your hands.

I tried it but its just not happening to me. I stare at the candle and let my mind wander but it doesn't change. I bring my mind back to what I'm suppose to do and it ain't staring at this candle.. lol

That's the whole point of it.

You must control your mind and not let it wander.

Discipline, training the mind.

You can block people out why not thoughts. (If only for a moment)

It's like bringing the two sides of the brain together and concerntrating on the third eye.

Which is a Chakra (The second highest) The highest being where the babies soft spot is.
That is a white light which you make go upwards. The frontal lobe is the higher brain.

If your mind wanders you will fall asleep.

Peace above you

Peace below you

Peace surround you
