Yes it is very good!

This would fall under the category of Bindu Gazing.. any object may be used, but traditionally the bindu is a large black dot, placed roughly arms distance from you at eye level. The gazing can be practiced with eyes open or open closed. If the eyes are closed you have a built in black screen right there in front of you. Look into it and hold steady.
