Animesh preksha is another advanced stage in the course Preksha Meditation, that means to concentrate one's mind on a single point while keeping the eyes open.

It is believed, that Lord Mahavir used to meditate with open eyes, concentrated on a point for long hours, suggesting his immense visual power. Animesh preksha is known as 'Traatak' in Hatha yoga.
A good command over this technique to concentrate one's mind on a single point while keeping the eyes open helps to know the previous birth and in the awakening of the intuition power.

In addition, the techniquie may enhance concentration power of the brain to great extent.
