Jai Sri Hari Yash ji,
Yes, you are correct, there is a practice called Tratak. I do use it as well. I promise you, this has nothing to do with Chakra energy awakening.
Plus, in this practice, one has to stare at a flame (light) at your eye level at 3 feet apart from where you are. Sit like a rock in a meditative posture. Here is one wonderful article by our Guruji:

Sending all my love and respect. 💓🙏
