Drishti

Drishti is a point of gaze or focus. Drishti mainly means not looking ato an external object but more drawing your consciousness away from the distractions around you, to one point of view. A point from where your concentration is directed inwards.

Classically there are nine Drishtis:
Nasagrai  Drishti                           =  tip of the nose
Broomadya Drishti / Ajna Chakra Drishti     =  third eye
Nabi Chakra Drishti                         =  navel
Angusta Ma Dya Drishti                      =  thumb
Hastagrai Drishti                           =  hand
Padahayoragrai Drishti                      =  big toe
Parsva Drishti                              =  far to the right
Parsva Drishti                              =  far to the left
Urdhva Drishti / Antara Drishti             =  up to the sky
