Lady sitting with candle on the floor. Flame gazing can be a wonderful way to find stillness. A dancing flame has a hypnotic effect on the mind, something yogis have known for centuries. Known as 'tratak sadhana' in yoga, candle gazing is a focus meditation.

Flames have also been used as a scrying tool for divination.
