Tell me more about how you do it OP. Go into as much detail as you like.

I'm not sure which object of meditation you were after so I'll do a brief explanation of how I do fire meditation.

• It's preferable to be in a full or half lotus, preferably sit on the edge of a cushion so that your knees are lower as when you are in deep meditation you will find your body falling backwards. Can also sit on a chair.

• Make sure the room is darkened and there is no breeze of any kind.
• Light a candle and ensure that it is about 3 feet away from you and at eye level.
• Begin to gaze at the flame, without blinking, steadily for as long as comfortable. Focus on the image of the flame.
• Once the eyes tire or start to tear up, either stare through it or blink if needed. 
• Once you feel like you have looked at the flame long enough close your eyes and focus on the after-image of the flame between the eyebrows at the centre of the forehead (the physical trigger point of the Third Eye Chakra).
• Focus on this afterimage, trying to keep it steadily fixed in the region of the Third Eye Chakra described above. Your level of concentration will determine the clarity of the afterimage. If the image wavers, moves or looses clarity, just reapply your concentration and restore the position.
• This point in the meditation is where you truly learn to master your mind as you will find yoruself day-dreaming and having randomn thoughts that take you away from focusing on the mental image of the flame. Just keep bringing your focus back.
• Once the image fades out completely, open your eyes and begin again focusing on the candle flame.
• Continue this cycle
• As your capacity to concentrate and meditate grows, increase the time by increments of 5 minutes till you reach 20 minutes. • The goals is to do this meditation even longer, be patient with yourself as there will be times where you will not improve for a long period of time.

Let me know if you have any other questions on this meditation or any other object of focus.
