Set up a comfortable view
- Place the phone on a stable surface, away from you, near a comfortable eye level.
- Choose a distance where you can see the flame without leaning forward, squinting, or holding your neck rigidly.
- Use moderate screen brightness and enough ambient light to move safely around the room.
- Sit or stand in a stable, comfortable position. Do not practise while driving, walking, bathing, or operating equipment.
Blink naturally and stop early
Do not treat blinking, watering, or discomfort as a target. Blink whenever needed, look away, close your eyes, or end the session. A shorter comfortable practice is preferable to a longer strained one.
Stop immediately if you experience eye pain, marked strain or dryness, headache, dizziness, nausea, visual disturbance, disorientation, unusual after-images, or any symptom that concerns you. Persistent symptoms require advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Your responsibility
No app or general guidance can determine whether focused screen viewing is safe for you. You voluntarily assume the risks of using Tratak and are responsible for deciding when to begin, continue, or stop. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PPLST Tech is not responsible for irritation, injury, loss, or damage arising from use or misuse of the app. See the Terms of Use (EULA) for the complete limitation of liability.
Ask before practising when appropriate
Seek individual professional guidance before focused screen gazing if you have a diagnosed eye disorder, recent eye surgery or procedure, migraine or seizure sensitivity, photosensitivity, a balance disorder, or another medical condition that might affect safe viewing. Follow your clinician’s advice over anything in the app or on this website.
Children and supervision
A responsible adult should decide whether the practice is appropriate for a child, supervise device use, use conservative viewing durations, and stop at the first sign of discomfort or loss of interest.
Digital flame versus a physical candle
Tratak uses a digital flame and does not require fire. If you independently choose a physical candle, the app does not supervise it: use a stable non-flammable holder, maintain ventilation, keep clear space around it, and never leave it unattended or near children, pets, fabrics, drafts, or flammable material.
