In Sanskrit, Nasikagra means "nose tip," Drishti means "gaze" or "focal point" and Mudra means "gesture." This practice is a Mana Mudra meaning "head gesture" practice and is described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita as well as the Shiva Samhita.
With practice you can keep the eyes focused on the nose tip for long periods of time. Do not strain the eyes at all.
The duration of the practice can be extend over several months. This Mudra can be practiced at any time of the day, but the early morning or before bed is best.
