Yesterday we welcomed the long light of the Solstice. But there’s only so much light the eye can take in at once. And that’s true of the mind too. There are so many thoughts, images, voices, worries, plans, memories, and possibilities coming toward us all the time. Everything wants our attention. Everything wants to be seen. But in practice, we choose where to place our gaze. That’s drishti. Drishti is the yogic practice of focused seeing. We’ve talked about this here before. It gives the eyes one place to land, so the mind and body can begin to settle too. Think of the small pause that happens when you’re adjusting binoculars. Or when you’re zooming in on your phone camera. Or when your eyes need a moment to find the thing they’re really looking for. There is a breath inside that action. A tiny pause. A refocusing. And in that pause, we remember: I don’t have to take in everything at once. I can choose the one point of light that speaks to my inner vision. This is where Yoga Sutra 1.36 can help: Viśokā vā jyotiṣmatī "Or by meditating on the sorrowless inner light." And also the words of Jesus: “The eye is the lamp of the body.”— Matthew 6:22 So today, maybe we practice the Solstice pause through the eyes. Soften your gaze. Let the breath come in. Choose one point. A candle. A tree. The sky. Your own hand. A word. A prayer. Let your eyes rest there for a moment. Let the breath deepen. And ask: What is the one point, that pause of light, that is ask for my attention today?
