Effect of Trataka practice on the concentration levels of cricket players
AUTHOR(S): Mirza Fahim Beg
ABSTRACT: This scholarly paper explores how Trataka, an ancient yogic technique involving prolonged gazing, might affect the concentration levels of cricket players. By combining insights from sports psychology, cognitive science, and contemplative traditions, the study delves into the theoretical connections between Trataka practice and improved cognitive focus. Through a detailed analysis of relevant research and expert discussions, the paper explains the complex mental processes involved in sustained attention and concentration. It also relates the fundamental principles of Trataka to enhancing sports performance. By investigating the ways Trataka could influence cognitive functions, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the potential links between traditional yogic practices and modern-day sports training. By considering the limitations of the study at this point, the paper also establishes a solid foundation for future studies. It provides a launching pad for further exploration into how contemplative techniques like Trataka might enhance cognitive abilities and contribute to better athletic performance in sports such as cricket.
