Sungazing:everything they told you not to do

[therealknockoff]

Look into sungazing. It is a lie that looking at the sun will make you go blind. I haven't seen anything on this site about it. You have to do it barefoot, right before sunrise or sunset. Start by looking at the sun for 10 seconds on the first day. Then, 20 seconds the second day, 30 the third, and so on until you eventually, 9 months later are staring into the sun for 45 minutes straight. After this, you are done, and only need to walk barefoot in the sunlight for 45 minutes a day to survive. You will not need to eat food anymore, because the sun will give you your energy. This will help with ascension into the 5th dimension. Research sungazing if you think this is BS. Just like they told us 9/11 was done by Osama, they told us not to stare into the sun, and please research more than this post before you start. Good luck with becoming your light body!

I have some advice, dont stare at the sun for long when its up high, I did several weeks back and have what is known as a scotoma from sun gazing. I see the sun every time I close my eyes or concentrate on what I am looking at. Its a pain in the ass because its in my point of focus, reading is a pain. I dont want to get glasses because I have heard it goes in about 4 months.

I love the sun though, barely there these days :(

Mmmm hmmm there is something definitely valuable in sungazing... Did it here and there, I felt strangely charged and it actually improved my vision temporarily.

[diamond dogs]

I used to wear sunglasses when the sun was out most of the time but then started to do without..

I have started Sungazing but only when it is low normally setting there is something mystical lately about it.. I totally agree that it is BS but must be done with extreme caution...and I believe it would have been a common practise amongst ancient civilisations...Good post...

[rhydra]

Even when the sun is low on the horizon and it seems comfortable to look at it, the radiation will still be damaging your eyes, even if you don't think your eyes are being damaged they will be, you may end up only having peripheral vision in the long term. Anyone thinking of looking at the sun, please don't, there is noting to be achieved.

[beldazar]

Did you read the link in my post Rhydra?

Dispells some myths about sungazing but it does also mention some dangers

I disagree with you, they have everyone convinced that they need sunglasses...why? Its been up there for as long as we have been down here. :rolleyes:

I do appreciate your point but I think people should know what the risks are to make a conscious decision, no offence. All the best.:)

[beldazar]

hey thats ok Rhydra, I have experienced what the sun can do (and still do) but you wont get blinded, that was a myth :)

[therealknockoff]

cool im glad to see some people replied. I am up to 20 seconds now, but due to chemtrails its very overcast every day here. the only thing i have experienced from it is a very heightened charge of energy for about 2 hours after gazing. dont do it with glasses or contacts, though. It's kind of like walking on coals, you gotta do it gradually. But walking on coals doesnt have any really positive effects. research this fully before you try.

[psyked]

I havent done research but Ima ask anyway for other people with the same question "why do we have to be barefoot?"

[vladmir]

hello from another sungazer.

[kingmob]

What do we do if we live in the cold climate? Most of the ground that is not asfalted is covered with snow. And there isn't a lot of sun to begin with...I'm pretty much screwed.

[alison]

" You need to eat Lord"

...... " I have food none of you know about "


JESUS

[therealknockoff]

I just do it in my shoes cause the ground is so cold here. I think the barefoot thing is to let the extra energy flow into the ground. I wouldn't recommend doing it with shoes on, though.

[lostinstrangeworld]

Does anyone know why it is recommended to gaze at the sun within an hour after sunrise or sunset....and why this is the key to sungazing as opposed to absorbing sunlight throughout the day without looking directly at it?

[lostinstrangeworld]

I havent done research but Ima ask anyway for other people with the same question "why do we have to be barefoot?"

I believe, from reading the articles on HRM's website, that walking barefoot helps to stimulate the pineal gland via the big toe and probably helps to create balance in all the other organs in the body...if you read up on reflexology (which is a scientifically proven treatment and similar in principle to acupunture), then this begins to make sense.

I emailed HRM yesterday about this and here is his reply:

it is within one hour from sunrise or within one hour before sun set.the first hour of sun and last hour of sun.at this times there is no ultraviolet rays or other harmful rays and so safe for the eyes.eyes are comfortable to look the sun at sunrise or sun set times.photons from the sun are received by the eye easily at these times and they reach the brain and help the health of neurons in the brain.only eye can received the photons and no other part of the body.if neurons become healthier and powerful any disease can be reversed.this is simple key to health.absortion by body is much less compared with the eyes.eye is the most powerful part of the body yet delicate and so we do it safely at sunrise or sun set times. thanks hrm

Just thought I'd update people on this topic . It was a couple of years ago I think but I'd just like to add that in my now 2 year experience of this I think I've shagged up my eyes. I'm hoping they right themselves but kids- dont try this at home!!!!

:eek:

[vladmir]

It was a couple of years ago I think but I'd just like to add that in my now 2 year experience of this I think I've shagged up my eyes.
I've been a sungazer since feb 08 myself, so that more than 2 years, every day. Safe sungazing will never harm your eyes.

[alison]

ok vladamir, its either my eyes or we're made of different stuff!!!:cool:

[vladmir]

ok vladamir, its either my eyes or we're made of different stuff!!!:cool:
Its not your eyes, its your mind, if i may say so.

Here's what i would say, speaking to myself.
"Dear eyes,
please use your instinctual intelligence to self-govern the duration of looking into the Sun, and dont listen to my expectation of how long or how much i should be increasing the timing, as i fully understand that Nature isnt obligated to fulfill my expectations just because i (the mind,me) say so....."

*Just a note from a sungazer to all reading this*
Any relationship with the Sun should be understood as an attempt to communicate with Pure Power,
and so should be approached with the utmost caution and respect.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you. will definetly give it a go! :)

[from beyond]

from what i understand...sun gazing is also tied into breatharianism

[hank_scorpio]

I had a great hour walk to work today just catching the sun as it came up and it made me feel nice and warm inside. Perfect way to start the day.

[unenlightened_waffle]

Been doing this for a while myself, although where I am from the sun does not shine much!

In my opinion and experience it has had no negative effects on me so far although I have not been doing this long enough too make a full conclusion. The positive effects are happiness, energy and calmness.

I am trying not to get into so called mystical effects I only do it because it feels right and there should be nothing to fear, I have not done it bare foot and have done it on the way to work. I believe that it is perhaps the only energy I will need in future times.

I would only suggest doing it free of fear, because in my opinion fear is the only cause of illness.

There are many weird and wonderful suggestions from so called in the know people and I would suggest only doing what feels right, if it makes you feel uncomfortable or brings any pain it is not worth doing in my humble opinion.

:cool:

[elcribbo]

in my opinion fear is the only cause of illness.

I would absolutely love to hear your reasoning behind this.

[elcribbo]

IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF DOING THIS PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE YOUR VISION AND POSSIBLY BLIND YOU.

DO NOT STARE AT THE SUN.

If it's any consolation to those of you who think looking at the sun replaces food, you will more than likely starve to death before you go blind.

[beldazar]

.

That is a load of old rot. you may get an imprint of the sun in your vision that won't go away for months like I had but you are far more likely to damage your eyes staring at a computer screen so...

PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY OR YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR VISION AND POSSIBLY BLIND YOU

DO NOT STARE AT THE SCREEN :D.

[infinite tea]

When i stare at the sun I let go of all fears, when i do this i do not get any interference to my vision. The sun is the source of information to this experience, if you stare at it and open yourself to it you will feel yourself downloading info. Think of it as being a projector projecting the film of life on earth onto the screen of our experience by staring into it it you are staring into your own self.

[unenlightened_waffle]

I would absolutely love to hear your reasoning behind this.

Ok hear goes..... (there are many different causes so I wont be able to explain them all, but if you want to give me an example I will attempt to explain how fear is the basis, but here is a general idea)

What does illness stem from: weakness of the body and mind?

Ok so if your mind becomes weak does your body suffer? In my experience it does you have a situation that you are worrying over or fearful of your mind re-creates it over and over again and if your reason and thought is unable to free you of this, emotion sets in which uses vital energy which in turn weakens your body. This is IMO because you have not faced the problem so it still lies in the mind. Illness can manifest from a collection of anxiety's, it is cause and effect, the cause of suffering is fear and this in turn creates bodily illness, it is a manifestation of mental suffering.

Can the body suffer illness when the mind is free of fear? So if you ingest poor food, germs etc.. and your mind has no fear how does your body react, does it become ill? I believe not.

If 2 people come into contact with a virus and 1 becomes ill and 1 does not, why is this. The scientific answer would be that 1 who is ill does not have the antibodies needed to protect them? Perhaps? My argument would be that your body is only as strong as your mind, so if your mind is strong enough (fewer fears) the less likely that person is to suffer from that illness.

The mind also holds fears in the sub conscious which relates to the strength of your overall being. These sub conscious fears are things that your conscious mind is not ready to face or has been brought up and you have not reasoned and experienced, so has been put back into the pot and will arise again.

Desire is IMO also a form of fear, it is a fear of not having that desire. If you indulge in desire which creates craving it will weaken the mind and bring more fears to the surface thus creating more illness.

I cannot quantify the amount of causes and the direct relation to the illness, but I suppose my general point is that we all live in fear and it is our purpose to escape them and when this happens I believe that bodily illness will not arrive. Please attack this statement, I cannot claim to have come anywhere close to this level of attainment but I have noticed in my daily experience that illness is the result of constant pressure of fears.

So do you still require food, or have you resorted to sunglasses? How do you manage to get access to the forum from the fifth dimension?

Perhaps you should drink and drive as well as the government tell us its bad.

If sungazing is the way to develop then why do people generally meditate with their eyes closed?

[lightgiver]

When you meditate with your eyes half open and half closed, you are doing what is called the "lion's meditation." Even while you are going deep within, you are focusing your conscious attention both on the physical plane and on the subconscious plane. Both the physical world, with its noise and distractions, and the subconscious world, the world of sleep, are inviting you, but you are conquering both of them. You are saying, "Look, I am alert. You cannot take me into your domain." Since your eyes are partly open, you will not fall asleep. So you are challenging the world of the subconscious. At the same time you are maintaining your mastery over the physical plane, because you can see what is going on around you.

Endocrine Secretions During Sungazing:

There’s more to the pineal gland than what meets the eye, or, I should say, optic nerve. The effect of sunlight on the pineal is something that needs to be researched more. It is already one of the most researched glands of the body. Scientists know that bright light stimulates the production of seratonin and melatonin in the pineal, but there are other neurochemicals produced by the pineal that have more profound effects than just the mood, sleep, reproductive and body temperature effects of serotonin and melatonin.

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, including Dr. George C. Brenard, a leading authority on the pineal gland, observed sun yogi HRM for 130 days in 2002. They found that his pineal exhibited growth and reactivation. The average size of the pineal is 6×6 mm, but in HRM’s case it was 8×11 mm.

Scientists refer to the pineal gland as the “atrophied third eye.” Indeed, it, along with the pituitary, is the third eye chakra or energy center, but they’re just dormant, not atrophied. According to Max Heindel’s Rosicrucian writings, in the distant past, man was in touch with the inner worlds through an activated pineal and pitutary gland. Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the third eye has always been important in initiating psychic powers (e.g. clairvoyance and seeing auras).

To activate the ‘third eye’ and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal and the pituitary must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation or sungazing. When a correct relationship is established between the personality, operating through the pituitary, and the soul, operating through the pineal, a magnetic field is created. The pineal can generate its own magnetic field because it contains magnetite. This field can interact with the earth’s magnetic field. The solar wind at dawn, charging the earth’s magnetic field, stimulates the pineal gland. This is why the period between 4 and 6 am is the best time to meditate and why sunrise is the best time to sungaze. At these times, the pineal stimulates the pituitary to secrete Human Growth Hormone. That’s why sungazers experience rapid nail and hair growth, restoration of hair colour, and general rejuvenation. Also at dawn, the negative and positive forces interact and become strong enough to create a “light in the head” while meditating.

I understand your concern,
but we arent talking of looking into the midday Sun!
Safe sungazing means looking at the rising or setting Sun, i would recommend half hour after sunrise and half hour before sunset is a safe period for a beginner, and this wont do any harm to ones eyes, as the ultraviolet index will be close to zero.

I can sungaze at odd hours, but i know what i am doing.
Like i said,
caution, respect, inner knowing and instinct,
all 4 of these are required to succeed on the path of gazing at the Sun.

[redorbluepill]

I tried this officially for the first time this morning. I say officially, b/c for whatever reason I briefly did this on my own for some reason just a few days ago, not really knowing why; just thought I'd try looking at the sun. I haven't gained the ability to fly yet, but we'll see how it goes. :)

I agree and is viewed through the third eye chakra.... I have been doing it for some time now.. well overdue for some radial info after the severe winter..

[joel1212]

i got a obolisk crystal and tomrrow morning im going to place it on my 3rd eye and look at the sun for 5 minutes. its supposed to help

[sacateca]

This sounds very interesting. It had nothing to do with anything like this, but once i stared at the Sun, i got the most horrible migraine the next day that lasted the whole day - wanted to die kind of thing. Obviously, it should be done with moderation, ha-ha.

But on related note, i practice swallowing the Sun's light - that is, facing the Sun, and breathing it in through the open mouth and swallowing before breathing out. It does also have an effect.

But i will look into this, as i do believe the Sun represents a source of life and energy.

Is this what you read of a wikipedia entry? If the process was as simple as you say then we would have given up food long ago. Have you tried it for youself?

[beldazar]

Priceless.

ahahahaha, I only just noticed that. I DID damage my vision, lol but it was only a small circle and at least it gave me something to meditate on when I closed my eyes :o :D

I had looked at the sun at midday, yes silly thing to do :o :rolleyes:

That is not true, as people do need to believe it's possible before it actually works - before anything works. Not KNOW or HOPE it's possible, but believe it's possible just as strongly as they believe they will come down if they jump upwards.

And thanks to our conditioning to science and a very limited sense of reality, it is very difficult to get to that level of independence.

I do beleive its possible but only by super advanced yogi's who already have a firm grounding with inner alchemy. Dont think my mom could sungaze for a half an hour before she goes to bingo.

Actually smartass, the word in that context is advice not advise.

And, yes there was a point to changing it to mountain. Go stare at the sun some more, awareness boy.

I'm up at 40 seconds now. It's awesome, the feeling and tingling-warmth you feel after eaach session. :D

But there hasn't been any morning sun visible for weeks now - do I still increase with ~10 seconds as usual, though I haven't gazed for almost a month? :confused:

[lightgiver]

Thats if you get to see it through the chemtrail haze :eek:;)

I find dusk is a good time when it is not to strong,and obviously moderation is the key.

Yoga for curing Eye Diseases:

Yoga Sun Gazing:

In yoga sun gazing was used as a means to completely fill the body, mind and soul with the healing solar light and meditate. The most appropriate way to do so was to go outside at sunrise or sunset when the solar light is orange or reddish orange in colour and rays coming out are a bit weaker in strength one must open his eyes wide taking in nine deep breaths (inhaling and exhaling gently) while looking towards the sun. Feel the energy of sun travelling through your body into various systems and Chakras. After this now gently cover your eyes with your palms for a few minutes. Relaxing your eyes and releasing out the stress and tension in your mind, and eyes. But while performing this gaze one must take care to not to gaze to long and also the strength of sun rays should be appropriate to gaze on (sunset or sunrise).

Man lives for 11 years eating only sunlight,

http://209.157.64.200/focus/news/1691322/posts?page=1

Hira Ratan Manek claims that since 1995 he has lived many days solely on sunlight and water.

Sun gazing is the practice of staring directly at the sun to receive “nourishment” from it.

The practice is controversial since some believe that looking directly at the sun for even brief periods of time may cause blindness or severe damage to the eye. Most eye care professionals advise against looking directly at the sun.

“Sun gazing is a relaxed look at the sun just as we see sunrise and sunset,” Manek said. “It gives all benefits for health. Those who practice sun gazing get total health of mind, body and spirit without any cost … but only at safe times of the sun.”

Sun gazing is often practised with the bare feet in direct contact with bare earth. Some sun gazers only sun gaze during the so-called safe hours, one half hour after sunrise and one half hour before sunset, while others feel that sun gazing can be done at other times of the day.

Manek, 69, from Bodhavad, India, has studied sun gazing for several years and claims that since June 1995 he has lived only on sun energy and water. Occasionally for hospitality and social purposes he drinks tea, coffee and buttermilk.

According to Manek and other proponents, sun gazing was practised by a number of cultures including the ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Mayans and Native American tribes as well as practitioners of Indian and Tibetan Yoga.


Pravda.ru has recently published an article about another case of so called “sun eating”.

Nikolai Dolgoruky calls himself a “sun eater.” He lives in the Dnepr region of Ukraine. He feeds only on prana and solar energy.

I've always hated wearing sunglasses up until a few years ago, made me feel like my eyes were really weak without them when it was sunny.

Now after 2-3 years of not wearing sun glasses I find that my eyes are a lot more stronger to sun light.

I'm sure I read an article on a website a few months back about sun glasses being bad for your eyes.

Something about the darkness over your eyes causes your pupils to open more (to let more light in) and then when the sun shines on your eyes it causes damage over time .. uv etc.

True or not, I find myself having better vision in bright sun light than most other people I know, and now when it's sunny I'm normally the only one not wearing sun glasses!

:cool: heh :)

I never wear sunglasses as I don't believe the sun is bad for your eyes. The lens blocks out one spectrum of the ray and your eyes need both.
I had never thought about the pupil being larger and letting more of that light through, creating more damage. :(

[farros]

whats the difference between staring directly at the sun, or just being out in the sun and squinting your eyes cos the sun is in your peripheral sight? the suns rays and energy are still getting into your eyes weather you luck at it directly or not. People in hot countries should inadvertedly be eating sun energy all the time. Yet still they eat. Ergo the simplicity of the practise the OP described is not so.

[2013]

Sunrise and sunset light is different to full on light . In angel mythology they supposedly gather to watch the rising and setting sun absorbing the energy and listening to the music of the spheres .:D

[vladmir]

And, yes there was a point to changing it to mountain. Go stare at the sun some more, awareness boy.
First take your own advice and eat a mountain of salt,
then come and tell us what to do.

And 'awareness boy'?
What you are typing!

People look at the sunrise and sunset every day, and thats safe sungazing. Try not to fear so much and try to understand what you are criticizing first.
And if you are afraid to look at the Sun during sunrise and sunset,
then dont!

[infinite tea]

You are the sun, or should I say the sun is YOU in the future :-)

There is a big difference - try it and you will see for yourself :-)

Getting sunlight through peripheral vision is like downloading information through an old telephone line connection on your computer....staring at the sun is like having 1000GB broadband to your computer - the amount of info you receive is greater and allows you to develop much more quickly. The sun is a source of information.

Shill! Disinformation agent!

These myths about eyes being damaged when you look at the sun are Illuminati lies to keep us all from developing our third eye and break free from their matrix mind prison which they project at us from the moon. Not looking at the sun is an idea put about by TPTB to keep you blinded to the truth.

I've been doing a lot of research on truthseeker sites recently and apparently you can purify your blood of fluoride, mercury, boron (from chemtrails) and other poisons by putting your cock in a mincing machine. Female truthseekers can get the same effect with their breasts. This is hidden knowledge from the Incas that was rediscovered by Erich von Daniken when he proved the pyramids were built by aliens. Don't anyone fall for that establishment propaganda about your organs being mashed by this harmless ancient remedy, that is just yet more government lies to keep the wool over the sheeples' eyes.

Dr Budwig brought up the relationship between the Fats Syndrome, Electrons, Photons, and Solar Energy provided by the Sun.

She pointed out that the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy and an element of life that affects the vital functions of the body. This, in part, is due to the photons in sunlight which are the purest form of energy, the purest wave, and in continual movement. Dr Budwig states, “electrons are already a constituent of matter, even though they are also in continual movement and that electrons love photons, attracting each other due to their magnetic fields. There is nothing else on earth with a higher concentration of photons of the sun’s energy than man. This concentration of the sun’s energy---very much an iso-energetic point for humans, with their eminently suitable wave lengths---is improved when we eat food which has electrons which in turn attract the electro-magnetic waves of sun beams, of photons. A high amount of these electrons which are on the wave length of the sun’s energy, are to be found, for example, in seed oils. Scientifically, these oils are even known as electron–rich essential highly unsaturated fats. But, when people began to treat fats to make them keep longer, no-one stopped to consider the consequences of this, for the existence and higher development of the human race. These vitally important amounts of electrons, with their continual movement and wonderful reaction of light were destroyed.”

Dr Budwig found when she treated patients and had them lie in the sun she noticed they started feeling much better and became rejuvenated. She referred to the sun as having a stimulating effect on the secretions of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, bladder and salivary glands. Dr Budwig also stated “Matter always has its own vibration, and so, of course, does the living body. The absorption of energy must correspond to one’s own wave length.” It appears apparently that sunlight is absolutely essential for the stimulation effect of the vital functions of the mind and body, contributing to the factors which allow the body to heal itself. Dr Budwig mentioned that doctors tell patients and cancer patients to avoid the sun as they can’t tolerate it and that is correct. She says once these patients start on her oil-protein nutritional advice for two or three days which means they have been getting sufficient amounts of essential fats, they can then tolerate the sun very well. She said the patients then tell her how much better they feel as their vitality and vigor is re-stimulated.



The last of the points mention by Dr Budwig and maybe the most important, is the electrons in our food serve as the resonance system for the sun’s energy and are truly the element of life. Man acts as an antenna for the sun. The interplay between the photons in the sunbeams and the electrons in the seed oils and our foods, governs all the vital functions of the body.



This has to be one of the greatest discoveries ever made as this combination promotes healing in the body of chronic and terminal diseases. In her book Dr Budwig states “Various highly trained and educated individuals are dismayed and irritated by the fact that serious medical conditions can be cured by cottage cheese and flaxseed oil.”

personally I'm up to 7 minutes and as I've just had an eye test I can state that my eyes are "perfectly healthy" although I'm still slightly short sighted.

I plan on having another Eye test after I reach 30 minutes and after 45 minutes. So hopefully the myth that you will go blind or "Burn your eyes out" will be dispelled once and for all!:)

How about sungazing at other times (not sunrise/sunset) with your eyes closed? I do this for short periods. It's clearly good for melatonin production as I have the most fantastic deep sleep that night. :D

Like another poster, I once looked at the sun and got a migraine within an hour afterwards. :(

Look into sungazing. It is a lie that looking at the sun will make you go blind. I haven't seen anything on this site about it. You have to do it barefoot, right before sunrise or sunset. Start by looking at the sun for 10 seconds on the first day. Then, 20 seconds the second day, 30 the third, and so on until you eventually, 9 months later are staring into the sun for 45 minutes straight. After this, you are done, and only need to walk barefoot in the sunlight for 45 minutes a day to survive. You will not need to eat food anymore, because the sun will give you your energy. This will help with ascension into the 5th dimension. Research sungazing if you think this is BS. Just like they told us 9/11 was done by Osama, they told us not to stare into the sun, and please research more than this post before you start. Good luck with becoming your light body!


Interesting. I knew something did not feel right when my mom told me as a child not to stare at the sun.

For the record, I also have rejected all the hype about wearing sunblock when out in the sun.

:):)

[freedom_thoughts]

For the record, I also have rejected all the hype about wearing sunblock when out in the sun.

:):)

Thats good to hear - all sun block is unneccessary if you build up your tolerance to the sun .. most sun block is also full of crappy chemicals too!

The sun gives our bodies vitamin D which is massively important as an immune booster .... it is only now coming into the main stream how important vitamid D is in helping our bodies fight disease etc.

The many links of lack of vitamin D to numerous diseases is quit amazing ... go do some research and you'll see the list is quite long.

And all this is only coming out now .... for whatever reason the alternative health movement has only gotten hold of vitamin D's importance quite recently.

-----
Here's a little tip from me to reduce your need on sun block altogether, and whilst your at it, improve your health 10 fold --- it's more relevant to people who spend the majority of their time in-doors ... which is most people in todays western world!!

During winter in your country you should take a daily walk outside. No matter the weather just exposing yourself to the low sun light for an hour a day at this time of year can help boost your immune system as most people won't get this much exposure outside during this time of year.

From the beginning of spring in your country you should go outside more often and expose yourself to as much sun as possible - where less clothes as and when you can.

Again, you've only got to be outside in the sun for an hour a day, or more if you want, and that will be fine. But as spring gets towards the end try and build up your exposure.

Then when summer comes round you should find that you can walk around in a tshirt and shorts all day every day in the sun and you won't get sun burnt ... but don't make the massive stupid mistake of sun bathing ... sitting down in one position not getting having just one area of your skin exposed to the sun light is just plain stupid and is asking for trouble.

But spending all day out in the summer sun moving around never really having one area of your skin exposed to the sun light for a prolonged period of time and you will be fine.

By building up your exposure to the sun during winter and spring your skin will build up a natural resistance to the strong summer sun light, and you will find that you are much much less likely to get sun burnt skin and on top of that you'll be much healthier for it!

You'll probably find like me that you already have a nice glowing tan by the end of spring.

And to prove the point ... until I became a farmer a few years back, every summer I would burn within a few days of getting sun exposure, I never wanted to put on sun block because of the crap in it, so I would just burn and peel, burn and peel over and over throughout the summer ... no doubt doing damage to my skin.

But since being a farmer and being out doors pretty much all day, 6 days a week for the last few years, I now find that I build up a natural resistance to the summer sun, and I also tend to have a nice healthy tanned glow about me by the middle of spring.

Infact even this year with all the rain here in the UK we've had over the last few weeks, I already have a slightly tanned upper body .... although that could be just dirt!:cool:

[beldazar]

That was a great post freedom_thoughts.

I haven't worn suncream for years now but my youngest son would need it as he was born fair and light-skinned.
For the last couple of years I managed to get the use of suncream restricted and only needed it for his neck, shoulders and cheeks whenever we spent the whole day on the beach.
I would encourage him to keep his t-shirt off and play outside as often as possible whenever the weather was nice enough to. He had no redness, no peeling and looked very healthy at the end of the summer, quite a contrast to his friends that had been covered in suncream who looked pale and weak.

[biblegirl]

great thread :)

[elcribbo]

Like to point them out as I don't see any.
Sounds about right to me.

Certainly.

This, in part, is due to the photons in sunlight which are the purest form of energy, the purest wave, and in continual movement.

An utterly meaningless statement. Photons are the purest wave? What on earth is that supposed to mean? And photons are in continual movement. Well, yes, but so are all elementary particles. It's like saying 'Belgians have two legs.' True, but so does everyone else, so what's your point?

Dr Budwig states, “electrons are already a constituent of matter, even though they are also in continual movement and that electrons love photons, attracting each other due to their magnetic fields.

Not true. In layman's terms, electrons can absorb photons to move to a higher energy state, but they only stay in that state for a short time before spitting a photon out and moving back to a lower energy state. They don't attract photons.

There is nothing else on earth with a higher concentration of photons of the sun’s energy than man.

Man more than, say, chimps? Or horses, or paramecium, or trees, or anything else that's made up of the same stuff that human's are made of, ie oxygen, carbon, hydrogen etc.

This concentration of the sun’s energy---very much an iso-energetic point for humans, with their eminently suitable wave lengths

Humans have wavelengths? What, individual humans, as a whole? Bearing in mind that a wavelength is the distance between the peaks and troughs in a wave, how can a human have a wavelength? Unless she's referring to the surfing magazine, obv.

---is improved when we eat food which has electrons which in turn attract the electro-magnetic waves of sun beams, of photons.

Please show me a food which doesn't have electrons in it.

A high amount of these electrons which are on the wave length of the sun’s energy, are to be found, for example, in seed oils.

The sun emits energy over wavelengths from <0.03nm to 14000nm. Which specific wavelength is she talking about? Also, seed oils are essentially carbon and a bit of hydrogen. An electron's wavelength is determined by its energy. Are the carbon atoms in seed oils more or less energetic than in every other food? Or in anything else made from carbon? No. The energy level of an electron is controlled by a number of things, for instance how much light you're shining at it, but not whether it's in a seed or not.

Scientifically, these oils are even known as electron–rich essential highly unsaturated fats.

Nice use of the word 'scientifically'. Unsaturated fats are not electron-rich. They are fats with fewer hydrogen atoms that saturated fats. A hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron. So unsaturated fats, if anything, have fewer electrons than saturated fats. Although in reality this is utterly meaningless in terms of nutrition anyway.

I could go on, but I can't be arsed. Basically, pretty much every sentence is factually incorrect or at the very least, dubious.

[ashangel]

Exactly. And I think I've heard that about the pyramids from Alan Watt too. Putting cocks in mincing machines is a good idea, but so is having it slapped by a black belt in karate. That's before the mincing.

The purveyors of cow excrement and shills are easy to spot as they waste their time whinnying against things far too much far too often, well that and the handy avatar in this case. :D

But don't hate them for they can't help it that is just how they are programmed, they have no soul and so must steal energy from those who do. Once identified do not respond to them, just see them as I do. A form of light entertainment and amusement. :-)

[devanshoom]

IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF DOING THIS PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IT WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE YOUR VISION AND POSSIBLY BLIND YOU.

DO NOT STARE AT THE SUN.

If it's any consolation to those of you who think looking at the sun replaces food, you will more than likely starve to death before you go blind.

this is not true...I did sungazing daily for 5 months a while back with no bad effects. Just dont look at it while your having lunch.

[asevaaamas]

I enjoy sky-gazing (staring into empty blue sky) but not sun-gazing.

I prefer to stare into total darkness usually, an entirely different experience. In darkness, I enter into my mind. Gazing at the sun, the brilliantness of the light pervades my mind. It leaves me feeling too 'bright'. I am a night person and often feel physically sick during the day time hours.

The more darkness, the saner I feel.

Over the past few thousand years, the common metaphors and concepts about ‘what the Sun is’ have migrated far over the line of error, into the terrains of nearly absolute misrepresentation.

Part of this is due to the idea that ‘abstract knowledge’ (systems and sciences) is more accurate than ways of knowing which are neither sourced in nor compliant with the logics of abstraction.

If we make a concept about the Sun that is mostly error... this error is magnified geometrically into the relational character and prowess of every other human concept.

When we make concepts about the Sun we are changing what we make concepts from, and we’ve never been given a reasonably accessible way of noticing this.

Our metaphors about stars and light change the character and goals of our knowledge, primarily because ‘star’ and ‘light’ are not merely metaphors — they are instead amongst the precursors from which metaphors are actively derived. Holophores — the ‘concepts’ we fold in order to have concepts at all.

The Sun is an experiential holophore: something so generally present that its actual significance is easily overlooked or misdefined.
What this means in the actual organismal experience of our species is that the general and specific models we imagine as representing our knowledge of the Sun, and of Light — are actually the seed-elements from which nearly all other comparative (contrasting) knowledge-forms are crafted.

They are, in a very real sense, the source of metaphors.
And metaphors are what we use to assemble knowledge, with which our species in turn assembles activity.

Even the smallest error in the roots of our understanding about what the Sun is, is magnified in each aspect of its children: the bits and pieces of meaning and relation we assemble into knowledge.
This process accrues nearly impossible momentum, almost instantly: it explodes into scalarly expanding waves of relational genesis in any given population at an ever-increasing phase-rate.

‘In no time at all’ an essential error in our relation with the Sun explodes into billions of domains of relational and meaning-based error — of the sort that leads directly to atrocity.
This is a form of mistake that breeds ‘more errored’ copies of itself (which then begin this same process) in a way that gains speed and effect in a human population at something that commonly makes lightSpeed appear a crawl.

Distributed biocognition is elementally faster than light, and Earth is the local home of organismal reality — the local source of biocognition.



The Sun is not an exploding ball of gas.
It’s something we lost a generally accurate concept of thousands of years ago.
The concept we lost was not academic or scientific — it was relational.
A slightly better metaphor of the Sun might be something like
‘living source of that from which knowers and knowledge are spawned.’

Even small corrections to the general accuracy of this concept have a similar and unexpected effect — they utterly redefine how human minds work, especially in co-emergence.
Small corrections in the meaning-shape of certain root metaphors immediately results in impossible leaps in understanding, learning ability, and clarity of ‘vision’. And herein lies an open road...to utterly amazing powers of learning, mutual uplift and rescue.

The Sun is not what we think. It is not a God, but this is far closer to that concept than our abstract or academic concepts of it. It might well be an organ in something like God...

o:O:o

One thing we might immediately notice is this: without visible Light, our species would probably never have become symbolically cognitive.
What this means is that the relationship between light and our cognition is far more fundamental and charactered than our common models allow for. If we remove all the abstract ideas about light, all the science and religion and philosophy... for a moment of real exploration, we find that Light is a transport. And organismal reality arises in, and thrives due to the local consistent presence of this transport.

The very idea of a symbol was born in light.

And it is far less a ‘thing’ than it is ‘a generative momentum of sentience’. This makes it alive, and alive in a sense that transcends our ways of knowing, and their little toys of relation — entirely.

The Sun is the source of those beings who assemble knowledge from form, and the more their method of assembly is alike with their source...the faster and more miraculously they ‘work’.

We need to repair our metaphors of ‘what the Sun is’, as a species.

Not with science, or a new system or expert — with experiential contact.

lol, you just brought back memories for me. I did that with an ultra violet sunlamp when I was 12 years old, I didn't wear the goggles as you are supposed to as it didn't hurt my eyes! I sat there watching the light change colours and basking in the warmth. The next day I woke up completely blind and my face swollen like a football. I had burnt the retina's apparently. I was worried I would be blind for the rest of my life but fortunately it only lasted a week. I had to wear sunglasses for a while and boy, did I get teased at school for it, lol. It was fun when the teachers kept telling me to take the sunglassess off mind and me saying I was supposed to be wearing them :cool: :D

I gazed at the sun right at midday a couple of years ago, mid summer. I developed a problem which is common but I don't remember the name of. you see a 'sun' every time you close your eyes and even when they are open. It didn't hurt but took months to go away :o

That is NOT what is being said here.
And the colors that are being described are like a warning sign,
you arent supposed to see them at the beginner stage,
which is where you are.
In fact, if you practice SAFE sungazing,
half hour after sunrise, and half hour before sunset,
you wont see any of these colors.
You dont have to stare, you can blink, just a normal look,
like you watch TV.
Sunlight is NOT fast food.
Your brain needs time to be able to adjust and reconfigure to begin absorbing the light energy directly, because we have been cut-off from the Sun for so long by deliberate disinformation and fear.

Anyway, more advanced (2 years and above) can start seeing colors,
but that is a different story, because it wont leave ANY afterimage for more than 5 minutes,
but we are getting ahead of ourselves.
Its without question that people Like Umashankar, Surya Jowell, HRM, Nikolai Dolgoruki and many others can stare at the sun at odd hours, and they will be completely fine.
But these people have reached an advanced stage of tolerance to the light of the Sun, and they are connecting to the Sun on an intuitive level which cannot be easily communicated in words.

Now, after reading all the posts in this thread, you decide to just go out in summer and stare at the Sun at 11AM onwards, you will burn your retinas.
So, dont do it. :o

Nikolai Dolgoruky calls himself a “sun eater.” He lives in the Dnepr region of Ukraine.

He feeds only on prana and solar energy. After arriving in a village where he lives, I saw a barefooted man standing on the porch. He was wearing a bright orange dress with the sun embroidered on the chest. The man’s face looked otherworldly, his eyes glistened, and a smile crossed his face. He moved about easily and seemed to be barely touching the ground. He did not have no sunken cheeks nor bags under his eyes. His skin was glowing from inside as if he were a happy teenaged girl.

It is obvious that Nikolai has become a qualified interviewee. He fell into the habit of giving interviews on a regular basis. A Japanese TV crew left the village a few days ago. They shot a film about Nikolai.

“The reason why I’ve become a “sun eater” has nothing to do with cutting down on grocery bills,” says Nikolai with a smile. “This is a spiritual way. Why do all the religions of the world have Lent? It is designed to cleanse the soul and encourage the human being to think more of things lofty and get rid of morally low desires. Saying goodbye to food means a farewell to many carnal dependencies. I consume space energy in place of natural foodstuffs. But I had continually fasting for 14 years before I stopped coarse food altogether. I ate only kasha, vegetables, fruits and nuts. Then I switched to liquid foods – vegetable broths, cocoa and hot chocolate. And one day it came as a stunning revelation that I can do without any food. Since then I’ve been living on a strict diet of tea with honey and some boiling water with fish soup spices. I use only charged water that is taken off the stovetop one moment before it boils. I drink about ten cups a day. I get the rest of my food from the Sun and Cosmos. I can even feel my blood getting rejuvenated.

“Do you mean you stop feeling hunger as you stare at the sun?”

“I stopped feeling hunger a long time ago. The sun charges me with energy as if I were a battery. Some day everybody will be capable of running on solar energy. The trees and flower exist because of photosynthesis. And man is part of nature. There is a huge release of energy in the human body once man gets rid of coarse food. It’s the energy that was previously used for digestion. Man reaches a completely different level of mental and physical development.”

It was dawn on August 25th, 2003. On that day Nikolai Dolgoruki began living by the law of flowers. He stepped into his porch and instructed his internal organs three times to feed on space energy only. His body ran riot for two weeks. Nikolai dreamed about eating butter rolls. Eventually, his hunger vanished in the ozone. He became indifferent to food and found complete peace of mind. Nikolai lost a mere 7 kilos after living for nearly a hundred days of solar diet. He used to suffer from pains in his heart and stomach. Nowadays Nikolai says his pains have been gone along with his excess weight.

“What is your superior goal? Do you intend to live longer or stay healthy? Don’t you think the price is too high?”

“A sun eater is on a mission to bring light, goodness and spiritual cleansing to the people. I help the people stay strong and happy in this cruel world. I direct my thinking to other galaxies.”

“Can you confirm that you’re not pulling some kind of a trick? Maybe you enjoy a quick burger by stealth?

“I’m ready and willing to show my abilities to anybody, be it doctors or scientists. Let them come and examine me. It’s okay with me. The Japanese TV crew that made a film about me had several researchers from the Institute of human body’s hidden abilities studies. They asked me to take a full medical examination including tests in our municipal hospital No 5. Besides, they spent a few days in my house monitoring my activities – trivial thins like I getting up in the morning, riding my bicycle, digging in my vegetable garden, doing a few push-ups and chin-ups. They put on record my personal achievement: I stared at the sun for 13 hours.”

“What did the results of the tests show?”

“The results say I’m a healthy person, no anomalies detected.”

Doctors at a regional center of nontraditional medicine of the Dnepr region comment in a cautious way on Dolgoruky’s experiment. According to them, the sun and space energy have nothing to do with the case. The man drinks a few liters of beverages to sustain his body’s activities. Doctors say such foodstuffs as milk, tea, honey have everything our body needs to get on a regular basis. Those beverages contain calcium, protein, carbohydrates and microelements. His body got cleansed and overhauled thanks to a slag-free diet and a healthy life style. Not to mention his power of autosuggestion and his strong will – those qualities cemented the positive results.

He's a liar.

[elcribbo]

But I had continually fasting for 14 years before I stopped coarse food altogether. I ate only kasha, vegetables, fruits and nuts.

That part made me laugh. I have also been continually fasting for 14 years, eating only meat, vegetables, fruits, McDonalds, chips and ice cream.

[grannymoose]

you know guys i have pondered this many times as often i find myself sitting in the car watching the sunset for 30 minutes. have been doing this for years and still have excellant eyes with no need for glasses.
I will look into this some more

he's a liar.

[vladmir]

What's actually going on in and around Earth differs dramatically from the stories we've been sold. New stories won't do. It's time that we had direct experience of
our own nature, histories, and potentials. Together. With and for each other and our world.

We can together reMember methods of engendering unity and mutual uplift that our ancestors were adept with, and games of this nature have the power to entirely change what we believe about what it means to be human — because what we believe is misfounded, and our relational capacities are more like science-fiction than science — in general.

There is a garden of stories we can share... which rapidly unlock learning potentials barely dreamt of in our religions and most imaginative fictions... by changing how we interact with a feature of representational experience. As it turns out, the stories we share — in many ways delimit the learning potentials available to us…

For thousands of years our ancestors were attempting to piece together a way to speak about a living riddle which they had constant and direct experience of. This riddle had to do with the source of Knowledge. and the meaning of Light, Time, Separation, Darkness, Life and Death.

Each of our cultures and their knowledge-traditions (science, philosophy, religion, &c.) express different versions as well as a modernized tokens of their essential experience and understanding — but there are ways of integrating the models they left us that lead to a startling experience:

Direct contact with what they were making stories about.

If we can merely agree, we can play an ancient riddle-solving game together...

that transforms into game of impossible rescue...

...and that’s only the beginning...

Life in the Sun

The title of this essay may seem familiar, but in fact I discuss not what it is like to live in the open sunlight, but the likelihood that there are living systems inside our sun.

This hypothesis surely startles; as much as we may pride ourselves in our broad-mindedness about the possibilities of extraterrestrial life, the concept of living systems inside a star seems wildly outlandish (out-terra-ish?)

But before you dismiss this essay as complete rubbish, I ask you to consider one fundamental truth: life is, in essence, a manifestation of negentropy. For those of you who don't keep your thermodynamics textbook on your bedstand, entropy is a thermodynamic thingamabob. It's like "energy" or "matter" or "force": a basic physical property. What makes it difficult for most people to understand is that it has no tangible expression. You can feel mass in your hand, sunlight energy on your face, or force against your fingertip. But entropy is intangible: it's disorderliness. Its opposite, negentropy, is orderliness. While you can't directly sense these physical quantities, you can certainly conceive of them. Strong, bright sunlight is high in negentropy; a grey, featureless shadow is low in negentropy. Marbles stacked in neat rows have high negentropy; marbles lying around in a messy way have low negentropy. 135 pounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged just right make up a high-negentropy Chris Crawford; put him through an osterizer and you've got 135 pounds of low-negentropy bloody mess. That's the key: the only difference between 135 pounds of hydrocarbons and Chris Crawford is the extremely high negentropy of the latter. And that's the whole point about life: it's not energy, it's not matter, it's a highly organized arrangement of matter -- matter graced with lots of negentropy.

Where does all this negentropy come from? The sun. All that sunlight shining on all those photosynthetic cells allows them to convert the negentropy into a chemical form: specially organized molecules. A lot of people get confused because sunlight is, after all, just energy, and so they think that it's the energy that's so important. Not! If you think that the energy of sunlight is what's important, then just put that plant leaf on the surface of the sun, where it'll get oodles and oodles (well, at least 4.3 x 10**18) photons of sunlight. That won't make it grow better. What makes it all work is the fact that there's night, or rather then difference between day and night. That difference is the orderliness that makes life work. If there were no night, the earth's surface would heat up, there'd be photons all over the place, and plants wouldn't be able to take advantage of it. The big trick is that 4,000-degree photons hit a leaf at 300-degrees (Kelvin). It's that temperature difference that makes life possible. Everything else -- cell membranes, amino acids, DNA, all that stuff -- is just engineering details.

Indeed, when you start thinking about it this way, your perspective changes. Basically, we've got the earth's surface here with the sun pouring scads of negentropy (orderliness) all over it -- and you think that it'll just sit there and bounce all that negentropy off? Wouldn't you think that just a tiny fraction of that orderliness might actually rub off on the planet itself?

In this way of thinking, we start our search for extraterrestrial life by asking, "where in the universe are there strong flows of negentropy?" Once we've identified likely candidates, we then start to inquire into petty details like availability of liquid phase solvents, appropriate chemicals and temperatures, etc.

The first place to start is inside a star. If we get all our negentropy from the sun, then obviously, the sun has lots and lots of the stuff to start with. Of course, there are some problems. The surface of the sun is obviously the worst place in the universe to look for life: its entropy flow is exactly the reverse of what we get on the surface of the earth. Instead of high-temperature photons hitting a low-temperature surface, we've got low-temperature photons departing from a high-temperature surface. This is obviously not the place to look for life.

But, deep inside the sun, there's another place that might just support life. It's the transition zone between the radiative layer and the convective layer. You've got lots of negentropy pouring out of the core and piling up in this transition zone, in much the same way that those photons hit the earth's surface. The biggest difference is the intensity of the phenomenon: the negentropy flux is at least 10,000 times higher than on earth! Now THERE'S a source of negentropy to work with!

All we need now are some of those engineering details to make it all work. Briefly put, we need a sufficiently complicated set of physical interactions that might permit the negentropy to be channeled. Obviously, those will not be chemical reactions. But there's another possibility: magnetohydrodynamic behavior. At this point, I run the risk of Frankensteinean mysticism: stitch the right parts together and then zap them with that mysterious stuff, electricity (or in this case, MHD), and they'll come alive. And in fact, I must confess that I cannot demonstrate that magnetohydrodynamic interactions are sufficient to the task. All I can say here is that, first, magnetohydrodynamics is really complicated stuff, capable of doing all sorts of squirrelly things. (This is one reason why we still don't have fusion power working after all these years -- the damn plasma starts interacting with the enclosing magnetic field and things go absolutely crazy.) Is MHD as complicated as organic chemistry? I doubt it -- but perhaps we don't need the combinatorial richness that organic chemistry gives us. Perhaps we've got so much negentropy flux that we can still get living systems based on simpler interactions.

Second, the sun is a big place, much bigger than the earth, so the laboratory of random combinations that is needed to stumble upon the correct pattern of magnetic fields is much, much bigger than the laboratory on this planet that eventually produced life. Furthermore, that boundary between the radiative zone and the convective zone has been in roughly its present configuration for longer than the earth has been around. So there's been plenty of time for that lab to come up with something interesting.

Third, we know that the sun has lots of magnetic fields in it, and they behave in really perplexing ways. The stuff is there, and it's certainly behaving in lots of weird ways. I wonder if the magnetic fields we're seeing on the sun aren't in some way related to life forms deep inside? Perhaps we shouldn't think in terms of life forms in the plural -- after all, there are no good sources of well-defined membranes in an MHD environment. Perhaps we should think in terms of one gigantic life form encompassing the entire spherical shell of the transition zone. If so, the magnetic fields that we see on the surface might be indirect manifestations of its metabolism. Which of course means that sunspots are --you guessed it -- pimples.

[beldazar]

Anyway despite all the arguing about sungazing etc..there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever about the benefits of our sun for staving off illnesses and aren't people muh happier when the sun is out? (Depending on how hot it is of course) and I don't need to wear my glasses to read my books while out in the sun, everywhere else I do.

Apparently were were plant-based as some sources say, linked to the chakra-system and certain plants just grow from the energy of the sun plus water and a few minerals, hair and nails grow much more in the summertime so denying there is anything in it is rather silly.

The Pillar of Celestial Fire: And the Lost Science of the Ancient Seers
by Robert Cox

According to the cycles of time, we are now on the verge of a global transformation that is completely unprecedented, involving unparalleled developments in every field of human endeavor. The Pillar of Celestial Fire explains the celestial mechanics of this coming transformation in simple, intuitive terms, and heralds the development of miraculous new technologies and coming changes that are destined to take place on our planet.

The Crystalline Heart of the Sun

The solar being is a very ancient soul who has been continuously engaged in profound meditation for over a billion years.

The intense heat and light of the Sun has been generated through this meditation.

The focus of this meditation is a small egg-shaped cocoon of luminous subtle matter that lies at the center of the solar orb.

This ball of celestial fire is so filled with spiritual power that is resembles a shining crystal or radiant diamond.

It may be understood as the crystalline heart of the Sun.

The crystalline heart of the Sun is composed of the most concentrated form of subtle matter-energy possible in our solar system.

As a result, it reflects an extraordinarily high level of universal pure consciousness.

Although the consciousness of the Sun is much higher than that of a human being, there are certain divine correspondences between solar and human consciousness that link us together.

The Divine Ka in the Human Heart

The simplest of these correspondences concerns the size and shape of the luminous egg of celestial fire that lies at the heart of the Sun.

The luminous egg that lies at the heart of the Sun is more or less identical in size and shape to the luminous egg that is nested in the human heart.

Surprising as it may seem, they are both about the size and shape of the pad at the end of an adult thumb.

This thumb-sized egg of celestial fire is known as the Divine Ka.

There is a Divine Ka at the heart of every celestial being in the Universe.

All the planets, stars, and galaxies have their own Divine Kas.

There is even a Divine Ka for the Universe as a whole.

It is seated at the very heart of the central Sun.

The Universal Divine Ka is the supreme seat of the Universal Soul.

It is the divine archetype towards which all other aspire.

This includes all human souls as well.

Every human heart contains a Divine Ka that serves as the seat of the human soul.

In the heart of the unenlightened, the Divine Ka is to small or to weak to reflect the light of pure consciousness and resonate with the music of the spheres.

In order to do so, the divine Ka must be nourished with celestial fire.

When it has been properly nourished, the Divine Ka grows and develops into a blazing thumb-seized cocoon of celestial fire residing within the heart.

When the Divine Ka thus becomes awakened, the human soul becomes enlightened, and begins to sing the song of divine love.

This sounds really good and for me would be a good back up method. However I still love eating my vegan food and want to have the choice to choose between both diets.

Really good post!!!

It's advisable to do this only for the first 8 minutes after the Sun has risen; that's how long it takes for the light to reach Earth. Doing this will not damage the eyes.
An ancient practice of the Jains is to form a diamond with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands and to view the Sun through that aperture. You will see rays in several directions. There's a mantra that can be said while doing this:
Om Suryaya Namah

If you read up on sungazing and how to do it properly and safely, you will see that it is actually very beneficial. Chris did a thread about it some time ago I think - very interesting and informative and something I have practised since reading :)

I think you may be thinking that there are a load of irresponsible hippies actually staring directly at the sun with their eyes fully open and causing some damage to themselves. Oh, hang on.....

[marisabia]

i started about a week ago i've gotten to about 30 seconds, i do it when the sun is just visible on the horizon which is right about one hour after sun rise, and doing this has already given me a lot more energy, and my skin is already starting to glow, i get darker very fast anyways.

thanks, i will continue as long as it helps,

[whiterain]

i think the general rule is that if it hurts and blinds you then dont do it, however if you can tell that a quick look isnt doing any harm then go ahead.

anyone attempting this start of simple and obviously dont start by starring eyes open into african midday sun. the castenada books had meditations in which involved sitting in the sun, and even behind a blind to allow you to sit there for longer without harming your eyes

also if you view things like this, you can train yourself to keep both eyes open and learn to switch between looking through one eye then the other, in theory helping the left right brain connection. hard to explain but when you look through your hands/a hole at something close and try to centre it, you will centre it to your dominant eye

I,m up to 2 minutes approaching sunset. It feels like a gentle meditative sate of mind, intoxicating even:) I can see what I,m typing on the computer without my glasses, although not crystal clear yet. But I could never use a keyboard without my glasses prior to this. I have an eye test coming up in the next month or so, so maybe I might get some idea of any improvement by then.

Anyway, this is the first post with out specs. And I can still see after looking at the sun:D:D

Yeah like in Teletubbies ,-- The sun --


How long do i need to stare , for years ?

[kingkong]

When you say staring at the sun means you no longer need food, that needs serious evidence. I read through the whole thread and no such evidence has
been provided.

Surely the original poster can provide evidence that he doesn't need food, or needs significantly less food. Where is the evidence?

You would think one person here would make a YouTube video or something, some kind of proof of staring into the sun for hours, and some proof of not needing food. I don't care about hypothesis and theory, or articles. I just want a scientific experiment done by a sungazer.

Thank you for reading.

why not have a little attempt yourself, then gauge whether you feel more energised or in need of a little less food? :)

Because staring at the sun damages your eyes severely.

Upon further inspection of "sungazing", it appears to be a cult phenomenon invented by some kooky practitioner, Hira Ratan Manek. He has a website (http://solarhealing.com/), complete with a shop selling a bunch of crap, and there is a whole lot of fancy pictures and propaganda, and no documented scientific experiments.

There is a Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungazing) for sungazing, but again, it only cites Hira Ratan Manek. This is worse than ancient Biblical stories, which people are supposed to believe despite no widespread evidence of any Son of God, walking on water, blah blah blah. It's fun to read, but it's just stupid, and academically deficient.

So, I'll keep my vision, thank you.

Thats why none of us are recommending staring at the Sun at any other time other than sunrise or sunset.

OK, then. So long as you're not some kind of follower of this cult spreading its message for profit, then tell me....

Have YOU achieved significantly less reliance on food? Or, does it just "feel good". I want to know. I'm not being sarcastic. Do you now eat less food, and if so, how long did it take you to get to this point?

And, also, I'd be interested to see a 24/7 video of you not eating anything, if that is the case. Again, I don't expect such proof, because so far, the collective intelligence of this thread would suggest no such phenomenon as "sungazing" exists.

You realize that it takes time - probably years - to reach a level where you intake practically no food without suffering damage from it?

Or would you advise a fat lard-ass McDonalds eater to switch to a 110% fruitarian diet too, and then confirm for yourself how bullshit it was since the person died from (obviously) doing it WRONG?

LOLOLOL :D

Am I the first person in this thread to point out that getting energy to replace food by staring at the sun is physically impossible? You might as well try staring at grapes in the hope that you'll get drunk.

Can someone please explain the biological mechanism by which the human body metabolises sunlight?

To a point it does - we generate Vitamin D from sunlight, but the rest of the claims are utter hogwash. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at an opticians when they try & explain the retinal scarring:

"You did WHAT??"

It'll ruin your eyes, it is not a conspiracy when people tell you that, it is a medical fact. If I go out in the sun for prolonged periods, my skin burns. Make the connection.

GLYPHS of the RED CASTLE (EAST) Understanding the Suns of the East The Mayan word for east is "Likin". East is represented by the color red. In Mayan it is called "Chau" The suns of the east are represented by the Suns IMIX, CHICCHAN, MULUC, BEN and CABAN. East is where the sun rises. It is the direction of "coming to power" or the "birth", the renewal of life. These Eastern days can be very powerful. It is a good time to start projects or at least begin to create them in your dream time. In the suns of the east, issues such as struggling with personal problems or concerns with the establishment of self arise.

And an interesting PDF here (http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:N7Sk1QHWTiUJ:www.wingmakers.com/downloads/energeticheart%28print%29.pdf+Sun+transmits+to+the +heart&hl=en&gl=au&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi3SOFFRXDMBFvtpusYv3C2n5gAvjNKW8gOwOV5 MH59WW_MPMtMmQWYsh7MOgMWWECGF2K418b_IO0uQgfCU8Q5iv itzDJAftSW8mBYqyNFvA7xiU1lDt_tiZnOWN3pXQEvQ3QS&sig=AHIEtbTNQwKuXGH7mv84t4MNYpHLvZox-A), especially the section on page 11, 'Heart Maps'.

I,m up to 2 minutes approaching sunset. It feels like a gentle meditative sate of mind, intoxicating even:) I can see what I,m typing on the computer without my glasses, although not crystal clear yet. But I could never use a keyboard without my glasses prior to this. I have an eye test coming up in the next month or so, so maybe I might get some idea of any improvement by then.

Anyway, this is the first post with out specs. And I can still see after looking at the sun:D:D

I dont understand people coming in here being negative for the sake of being negative,
and blindly having a fear reaction to simply looking at the Sun at sunrise and sunset.
Frankly, its stupid to fear safe sungazing.

And for those of you asking for proof,
first decide if you want to walk on this path or not.
If not, why do you care?
And if you do, why not become the proof yourself?

Otherwise, you are just distracting people on this thread.
Just live and let live, if you dont feel like doing sungazing, then dont!

I personally have experienced reduced appetite myself, its cut down to half in the summer.
When its the rainy season, and the sky is overcast, my appetite increases.
There are other spontaneous exhilirating experiences that i had has while sungazing,
but i am not interested in proving this to anyone, its a personal journey, and not open to scrutiny of wannabe sceptics.

looking at sunset/placing hand in fire. same risk? is it really that hard to tell when something is doing you no damage?

[wakeuptime]

Look into sungazing. It is a lie that looking at the sun will make you go blind. I haven't seen anything on this site about it. You have to do it barefoot, right before sunrise or sunset. Start by looking at the sun for 10 seconds on the first day. Then, 20 seconds the second day, 30 the third, and so on until you eventually, 9 months later are staring into the sun for 45 minutes straight. After this, you are done, and only need to walk barefoot in the sunlight for 45 minutes a day to survive. You will not need to eat food anymore, because the sun will give you your energy. This will help with ascension into the 5th dimension. Research sungazing if you think this is BS. Just like they told us 9/11 was done by Osama, they told us not to stare into the sun, and please research more than this post before you start. Good luck with becoming your light body!


Fascinating post! I've been reading how eyes need at least 20 minutes of sunshine per day to function well and that sun enhances the entire body.

The media has been demonizing sunshine for years!

When I lived in California, the media said avoid sunshine, its dangerous. Dangerous to who....? :rolleyes:

[wakeuptime]

Sunshine and looking at the sun at sunset are good for you.

With all that power in the sun, then how can it be as simple as providing energy across the electromagnetic spectrum. There must be more to it than that.

I'd just like to ask, those who practise star gazing, are you worried about the Iceland volcano and what effect the dust cloud might have on the sun's ability to 'feed' the population ?

With eyes closed you will be fine!
Just listen to and seek guidance from your intuition (Heart center),
not your mind and its 'expectations'.

Hi. Do you have any tips on how to become more 'intune' with your intuition and heart centre, or any links to information regarding practical advice etc..?

[pessi_optimist]

For the record, I also have rejected all the hype about wearing sunblock when out in the sun.

:):)

You should do-there are alot of chemicals in SPF that your skin will not appreciate. We need sun, it's vital for our Vitamin D sources and general well-being. Much of the media and beauty industry is attempting to stop people from going in it, however, but it's completley natural. People who will not go anywhere near it and won't leave the house without SPF + 30 are absurd.

[tony le mesmer]

These chemtrails are a new idea to me also. Sorry if the naivety I display is irritating to some of you who have studied these ideas for a long time. I have to start somewhere and my starting point is all questions.
So the vapour trails we see aren't merely exhaust gases caused by the combustion of aviation fuel, condensing in the cold upper atmosphere?

If I am hearing this idea correctly then someone at airports are filling tanks with other chemicals that get sprayed. So my first question is where is the logistical trail. Who orders the chemicals at the airport. Who is the liason with each airline company, who fills the tanks? Do you see what I'm getting at. It would take a whole shadow workforce to do this chemtrail stuff, so where are they, why has there been no evidence or paper trail or whistleblowing ?

http://www.pasaporteblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/base-de-sequoia-gigante.jpg
If i dont see the whole tree,
and simply observe a small portion of the bark,
i can take a small pocket knife and cut out a tiny portion of the bark,
and as it is dry and brittle and crumbles into tiny pieces,
i can say "See, this is just dead stuff, no life here".
If i take a step (or two or ten!) back,
and raise my vision upwards,
so that i can see the entire tree,
i will realize why the Giant Sequoia trees are said to be the largest living things on Earth.

In a similar analogy,
take a moment and look at your arms.
See the hairs growing on them, and see the skin.
Now imagine if it was possible,
that the giant sequoias are like the hair on an even bigger living Being,
and the entire ground is the skin of this Being,
and that we are living on its surface, and we call this Being Earth.
It has the entire planet as its body.

Now compare the size of the Earth, with its Star, our Sun.
Imagine the entire Solar System is the Body of this celestial Being.

Try this. What if a couple of cells in your body, were having a chat, in english.
One cell would say something like " hey, do you know that you and i are individuals, but we are part of a great being called pessi_optimist.
The other cell would be like "Oh BS, what have you been smoking?!
Cant you see you and i are separate,
we are in separate bodies, you are you, and i am me,
and there is no physical connection between us,
so how can we be different,
and yet be ONE for a consciousness that calls itself pessi_optimist?
Prove it!!
Cell 1 will be like "Dude, forget i said anything!!
.
.
.
.
The intuitive connection is already there.
Where?
Here. Now.
You and i are swimming and existing in this
Superconscious Non-local Hyperpresent Omniscience of the Being
we have named 'God' or 'Prime Cause'.

I know about the white skie memory lane as someone just today reminded me with the pictures taken a year ago when there were no CBs (or harmonizers how I prefer to call them) in this area.

Horrible chems, and white chemclouds overcasting the skies..
We got so used to this healthy blue skies that we almost forgot to appreciate it.:eek::p


@vladmir yet another awesome post.. I love trees.. I LOVE huge trees :D
u sees..u can't go wrong with trees :rolleyes:

[zzdoogie]

Certainly.



An utterly meaningless statement. Photons are the purest wave? What on earth is that supposed to mean? And photons are in continual movement. Well, yes, but so are all elementary particles. It's like saying 'Belgians have two legs.' True, but so does everyone else, so what's your point?



Not true. In layman's terms, electrons can absorb photons to move to a higher energy state, but they only stay in that state for a short time before spitting a photon out and moving back to a lower energy state. They don't attract photons.



Man more than, say, chimps? Or horses, or paramecium, or trees, or anything else that's made up of the same stuff that human's are made of, ie oxygen, carbon, hydrogen etc.



Humans have wavelengths? What, individual humans, as a whole? Bearing in mind that a wavelength is the distance between the peaks and troughs in a wave, how can a human have a wavelength? Unless she's referring to the surfing magazine, obv.



Please show me a food which doesn't have electrons in it.



The sun emits energy over wavelengths from <0.03nm to 14000nm. Which specific wavelength is she talking about? Also, seed oils are essentially carbon and a bit of hydrogen. An electron's wavelength is determined by its energy. Are the carbon atoms in seed oils more or less energetic than in every other food? Or in anything else made from carbon? No. The energy level of an electron is controlled by a number of things, for instance how much light you're shining at it, but not whether it's in a seed or not.



Nice use of the word 'scientifically'. Unsaturated fats are not electron-rich. They are fats with fewer hydrogen atoms that saturated fats. A hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron. So unsaturated fats, if anything, have fewer electrons than saturated fats. Although in reality this is utterly meaningless in terms of nutrition anyway.

I could go on, but I can't be arsed. Basically, pretty much every sentence is factually incorrect or at the very least, dubious.
just a quick reply about the saturated vs unsaturated fats...
Unsaturated fats are those that have 'double bonds' between 2 adjacent carbon atoms (or can be a triple bond even) for example H2C=CH2 is 2 carbon atons with 2 hydrogen atoms attached to each.
a saturated fat is for example H3C-CH3.
the basis of this is that a carbon atom has 4 leectrons in its outer shell which can bond to other elements (be they Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Sulphur, etc, etc).
they are called unsaturated because they have not 'used' all their available electrons to bond whereas saturated fats require much more specific conditions (harsher conditions, more energy, etc) to chenge their structure chemically and hence do not break down in the body the same way that unsaturated fats do.

I try not to use any sunblock at all, which is quite difficult for me as being Irish I frazzle when subjected to any prolonged periods of intensive sunlight, therefore I get around their lies by generally having my holidays in Donegal...no need for sunblock there, just a sturdy umbrella and some wellies.

lol.

Try to get yourself used to the sun a bit at a time. Try 10 minutes each day at midday and slowly add more time. I needed to with my youngest who is quite fair and it works. I wasn't used to it with me and my eldest going brown very quickly and was a bit shocked when his cheeks burnt while pushing him in a pram for half a mile with a canopy over him :o

There are natural suntan lotions you can use. Home-made ones as well as some Dr Mercola sell although it's difficult with it being based in America.

Great question.
Look at the giant Sequoia tree.

http://www.pasaporteblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/base-de-sequoia-gigante.jpg
If i dont see the whole tree,
and simply observe a small portion of the bark,
i can take a small pocket knife and cut out a tiny portion of the bark,
and as it is dry and brittle and crumbles into tiny pieces,
i can say "See, this is just dead stuff, no life here".
If i take a step (or two or ten!) back,
and raise my vision upwards,
so that i can see the entire tree,
i will realize why the Giant Sequoia trees are said to be the largest living things on Earth.

In a similar analogy,
take a moment and look at your arms.
See the hairs growing on them, and see the skin.
Now imagine if it was possible,
that the giant sequoias are like the hair on an even bigger living Being,
and the entire ground is the skin of this Being,
and that we are living on its surface, and we call this Being Earth.
It has the entire planet as its body.

Now compare the size of the Earth, with its Star, our Sun.
Imagine the entire Solar System is the Body of this celestial Being.

Try this. What if a couple of cells in your body, were having a chat, in english.
One cell would say something like " hey, do you know that you and i are individuals, but we are part of a great being called pessi_optimist.
The other cell would be like "Oh BS, what have you been smoking?!
Cant you see you and i are separate,
we are in separate bodies, you are you, and i am me,
and there is no physical connection between us,
so how can we be different,
and yet be ONE for a consciousness that calls itself pessi_optimist?
Prove it!!
Cell 1 will be like "Dude, forget i said anything!!

On the last 2 days about 5 minutes after sungazing, a warming sensation has spread across my back radiating from my spine! Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I've started a sort of standing qigong meditation exercise while sungazing so maybe the chi is starting to flow:)

[saar]

sounds like kundalini :p
oh yes.. it feels wonderful to have your body chemistry/hormones/chakras/everything cleansed and synced by the sun.. it's the purest form of energy available to us.. yet amazingly so free that it managed to stay unnoticed in this capitalistic lego world.

Thank you - I may need all the luck I can get, as I'm messing with 4000 years of chinese expertise:D

It's called Standing 3 circles qigong . Which is basically standing still with your arms out as if hugging a tree and breathing deeply through the nose.

While sungazing, I do everything except I keep my arms by my side. (I feel a bit self conscious standing in the garden like a scarecrow!:D - I hope I'll get over it:D)

There's a bit more to it than that so if you think you would like to try it, I will describe it more completely if you like.

[saar]

Sounds interesting..
the scarecrow part is familiar :D
Thats why I just gaze at the sun until I melt and blend with it..
if I find it hard to focus I just observe my natural breathing cycle like in plain meditation without trying to control it.

would be interesting to read some techniques by other gazers :)

Sounds good saar. I often find it hard to focus - so have started a similar technique - On the in Breath I imagine thick golden honey oozing down from the top my head and over my body!

Works for me anyway:)

[turner]

Even when the sun is low on the horizon and it seems comfortable to look at it, the radiation will still be damaging your eyes, even if you don't think your eyes are being damaged they will be, you may end up only having peripheral vision in the long term. Anyone thinking of looking at the sun, please don't, there is noting to be achieved.

If "they" tell you not to do it ,you can guarantee that it is good for you- i have sungazed quite a bit and as long as you only do it at sunrise or sunset there is nothing to worry about.(i take it you have not actually done any sungazing and are just reading out/typing your own personal beliefs???)

Yes it is - alas I cannot take credit for being so creative:o - it is a tip from Erle Montaigue's "Beginning to Advanced Qigong" video.

[vladmir]

Here's an excerpt for Hank Wesselman's book describing a Twin-Soul's (one living in the present one living 5,000 in the future) shamanic journey:

"Their conscious awareness then began to expand outward once again, and he became aware of a great, dark, circular orb of immense proportions, from whose margins the omnipresent orange-golden light seemed to radiate.

'What is it?' Nainoa asked.

'It is our star, the sun, the source of the life force here in our part of the Universe,' came the American's response.

'Why is it dark?' queried the Hawaiian.

The answer arrived immediately. 'I believe it appears dark because of the reversal effect. In ordinary reality, it is blindingly bright, but when I cross the barrier into the spiritual dimensions, everything appears to me in color negative. Why this is so, I do not know.'

'You will recall some of the wisdom we received from the dorajuadiok out in the spirit hills,' the American continued.'
It was there that we learned that stars posses consciousness - the collective conscious awareness of everything within their solar system.
In this same way, our awareness is part of our star's awareness.
Let us see if we can approach it, but carefully. I have never been this close to it before.'

...On final approach, there was no all-consuming fire, no million-degree heat to incinerate them and convert them into elemental wisps of carbon. The enormous gravity of the great stellar being was most real, however, and they were drawn closer and closer until impact seemed inevitable.
Then something totally unexpected occurred. They 'flew' through the surface of the sun, finding themselves immersed within the surroundings that seemed to be composed of moving streams of contrasting lightness and darkness - an etheric, golden pattern flowing in ordered directions.
There was also a sound, a ponderous vibrational tone not unlike the tolling of some monumental bell or gong.
They simply rested there, within the sun's shadow ocean, marveling at the star's living, golden presence.

Nainoa suddenly received one of the American's boyhood memories, a chunk of information he had apparently acquired while exploring huge rooms filled with strange objects in a building of immense proportions. As Nainoa's curiosity arose, a thought from the American's mind came in response.

'Egypt..these things are housed in a museum in the city of my birth. The memory you picked up concerned a long-dead king called Amenhotep the 4th.
This man changed his name to Ahkenaten when he initiated a new religion centered on the worship of the sun.
This Pharaoh, as the Egyptians called their kings, was considered a heretic by the people of his time, yet he was a great mystic who understood the star for what it is - a creator being.
He had its symbol depicted on the temple walls as the aten, the sun disk. The literal translation of the Pharoah's name Ahk-en-aten meant 'Shadow of the Sun.'

...A rolling clap of thunder was heard, as their merged awareness shifted in response, as though they had passed through some doorway and entered yet another level in which all sense of separateness was lacking.
Now there was only the One, and they were a part of this Oneness, as was their star, ...as was everything, everywhere.

The great lacy aka net of the pattern could be seen stretching into infinity across time and space in every direction, forever. The fibers closest to them could be dimly seen as distinct lines, but these rapidly merged into the misty distance filled with luminous light. There was a subtle color, a yellowish tone to the infinite vastness. Their awareness shifted again, and the light now seemed to be made up of countless dots, creating a moving golden field that was both warm and light, both cool and dark.

The movement within this great, glowing immensity seemed to express a subtle vibrational quality, suggesting that this golden light was unmistakably alive. It seemed to be both calm and agitated, both stationary and in motion. The intensity of it was enormous, almost unbearable. As their merged minds searched for a concept to describe it, a word arrived virtually simultaneously in both Hawaiian and English.

'Nani...beauty.'

Like the infinitely smaller cloud of the human spirit, this greater radiance, composed of moving dots or particles of living gold, was growing, its aliveness and mind-spirit determined by all that it contains.
There was no question that the power in association with the field was capable of everything, its potential unlimited. And pervading the 'all' was a sense of tranquility, an absolute peace.
The merged awareness of the American and Hawaiian floated awestruck in this endless radiance, and a thought appeared, a memory of something that they learned out in Africa when they had been given a glimpse o fit through the dorajuadiok -
that this golden light was, is, and will always be, the mysterious Source of all being - the eternal IAO, the all-knowing One."

Meditation at Sunrise

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
Meditating at dawn, in the living presence of the rising sun, is the method the Master urged all disciples to practice; it lies at the heart of his teaching.
He gave it the name ‘Surya Yoga’ from the Sanskrit, ‘Yoga of the Sun’ and it is practised at all brotherhood centres between the Spring and the Autumn equinoxes.
By concentrating all our thoughts and forces on the sun, the centre of our solar system, we gradually reinforce our connection with our spirit, the centre of our own being. In this way a bridge is formed between our higher and lower natures allowing paths of communication to be established.
The rays of the sun and the ‘prana’ that is present in the air at sunrise are able to renew and transform us.
‘Each morning, when you go to the sunrise, think of nothing but renewing yourself. Leave everything else to one side, everything that is old and mouldy, so you can once and for all receive this new life and enter into communication with that great current coming from the heart of the universe. In springtime, the early morning rays send you all the energies and stimulus you need for the rest of the year. Don’t let them pass you by without benefiting from them. Open yourself to these rays and allow the forces of light, joy and resurrection to pass through you.’
The following formula is one of many we have been given to use at the sunrise:
As the sun rises over the world, so may the sun of truth, freedom, immortality and Eternity, rise in my spirit.
As the sun rises above the world, so may the sun of love and immensity rise in my soul.
As the sun rises above the world, so may the sun of intelligence, light and wisdom rise in my intellect.
As the sun rises above the world, so may the sun of gentleness, kindness, joy, happiness and purity rise in my heart.
As this luminous, radiant sun rises over the world, so may the sun of strength, power, force, dynamic energy and activity rise in my will.
And as this luminous, radiant, living sun rises over the world, so may the sun of health, vitality and vigour rise in my body.
Amen. So be it, for the kingdom of God and His righteousness
Amen. So be it, for the Glory of God!

Bump, this interesting subject raised in another thread

[wildhorse]

last weekend i was in goathland in the middle of nowhere. i had been for a ramble over the NY moors, to my little spot with a small waterfall (and lots of fucking midgies) i did reiki on a tree :D and got some vibes back from it. the sun was low in the sky, casting wonderful light on the green landscape, and the moon was out also (still got a thing for the moon even if its hollow;))

anyway, on the way back the sunset was amazing. it was low and round and bright red. i watched it set over the distant hill. just utterly beautiful and that in itself was uplifting, and magical and my spirit felt replenished in an 'ahhhhhhhh' kinda way. it is no suprise to me that watching sunsets and sunrises are good for you, and that something else beneficial is going on other than the beauty you see. its like a reconnection to the divine and the universe and reminds us that they are there, watching over us in this crazy construct set by the illuminazis

[epiceyjahouse]

I've been sungazing for three times now, two mornings and one short evening. Not barefeet though.
Anyway, what can I say so far? Well, I woke up today and lo and behold, my eyes were not so damn dry! Big surprize! I've been "suffering" from dry eyes for a few years now. I remember back in the days when I didn't have dry eyes, I would always get these blobs of goo in the eyes in the morning (haha) but during my years of dry eyes, the ammount of eye goo has been very small which I suppose is because there wasn't alot of moisture in the eyes. But anyway, yea now they seem fine! :)

And may I also stick this in: My dry eyes started some time after I got addicted to internet. Honestly I havn't really been out in the sun for a few years so it seems that my dry eyes are related to lack of sunlight exposure.

Another thing I want to point out is that I have been very light shy during my years of internet usage and lack of sunlight exposure. I will report if it gets better. So far I havn't been shy of light, but on the other hand I havn't been up during the mid day yet after the sungazing, (I go to bed and sleep the day away LOL.) only the mornings.

Oh and if I have any ill-effects from it, I will definitly report that too, but so far nothing at all. My eye sight is perfect and there's no sun burnt into my vision haha.. :p

Great progress :D

Dry eyes could lead to glaucoma... :eek:?

The weed'le keep that at bay;)

Cannabis
Studies in the 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, effectively lowers intraocular pressure.[43] In an effort to determine whether marijuana, or drugs derived from marijuana, might be effective as a glaucoma treatment, the US National Eye Institute supported research studies from 1978 to 1984. These studies demonstrated that some derivatives of marijuana lowered intraocular pressure when administered orally, intravenously, or by smoking, but not when topically applied to the eye.
In 2003 the American Academy of Ophthalmology released a position statement which said that "studies demonstrated that some derivatives of marijuana did result in lowering of IOP when administered orally, intravenously, or by smoking, but not when topically applied to the eye. The duration of the pressure-lowering effect is reported to be in the range of 3 to 4 hours".[43][44]
However, the position paper qualified that by stating that marijuana was not more effective than prescription medications, stating that "no scientific evidence has been found that demonstrates increased benefits and/or diminished risks of marijuana use to treat glaucoma compared with the wide variety of pharmaceutical agents now available."
The first patient in the United States federal government's Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, Robert Randall, was afflicted with glaucoma and had successfully fought charges of marijuana cultivation because it was deemed a medical necessity (U.S. v. Randall) in 1976.[45]

New scientific research is showing a powerful correlation between childhood autism and vitamin D deficiency. The evidence is too great to be ignored. In this health article Dr. Marc Sorenson quickly highlight 23 different vitamin D deficiency studies to show how low vitamin D levels are likely to cause autism and other childhood development disorders.

Is Autism a Vitamin D Deficiency Disorder?

By Marc Sorenson, EdD

Autism is increasing exponentially and is related to vitamin D deficiency.

As I have pointed out in my book, both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities.[1]

The cost of autism is about $35 billion annually, and the societal cost for each case is about $3.2 million.[2]

The most alarming increase in autism is observed over the past few decades, and its incidence is currently growing at the rate of 10-17% per year.[3]

Dr. John Cannell wrote a compelling paper on how autism could be caused, at least in part, by lack of vitamin D during brain development.[3]

Sunlight’s Healthy Rays Help Guard Against Autism

Published March 22, 2010 by: Adam Pollack
More Vitamin D Needed by Those Who Fear the Sunrays
Care for expecting mothers might be out of step with the woman’s health practices in daily life. Old appreciation for the healthy effects of the sun does not play an strong enough role in modern lives. Indoor living is safe, they think, and good for civil sensibility. Recently, health experts have come to realize that one of the unfortunate consequences is an increase in autism in infants.
Mothers Lose Sunlight During Pregnancy
Mothers missing on the first source of vitamin D can affect their child’s health. Without a neurosteroid that depends on vitamin D, called calcitriol, prenatal children do not regulate brain development well enough to fully develop. The neurosteroid also protects against viral infections during pregnancy that can contribute to poor development.
A lack of vitamin D is a risk factor for autism in infants, says the executive director of the Vitamin D Council, Dr. John Cannell. Unknown to their mothers, their bodies remain vulnerable until birth.
Americans and Europeans Turned Away From The Sun
Apparently, mothers in America and Europe have discontinued old practices of enjoying the outdoors and taking in the warmth and light of the sun. In the old days, ordinary people got 90 percent of their vitamin D from sunlight. But, in the 1990s, medical news of the risks of skin cancer from exposure to the ultraviolet rays scared our citizens indoors.
The American Medical Association’s Council on Scientific Affairs led off the anti-sun campaign in 1989 by warning to keep infants away from dangerous exposure. A decade later, in 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics encouraged constant protection for infants, including the right clothes and sunblock. Americans followed, without hesitating to consider what they would lose in their life. During this same time, Europeans moved toward a similar life without the sun.
Limited Vitamin D From Skin Exposure
More Vitamin D Needed by Those Who Fear the Sunrays
Average national vitamin D, without considering the diet, has declined. One of the sun’s powers when shining upon the skin is to activate vitamin D production in the body. An ordinary fair skinned person can produce
20,000 units of vitamin D in 10 to 40 minutes bathing in the sunlight. That is enough for a day. A mother can not adjust her diet, or take enough of the vitamin, to compensate for losing thousands of units when they stay indoors.
The effects of low levels of sun exposure are not new to Americans. It has long been common knowledge that lower winter and spring exposures can leave a person feeling fairly weak, especially a person who lives at the 42d latitude or further north. And, in fact, researchers have found that autism rates at birth are higher in the two pale light months.
On the contrary, the phenomenon is a modern loss of awareness of the sun’s importance. The recent health scare might have been what put our civil citizens over the line of good health, motivating them to get rid of the precious minutes in a day spent outdoors that can keep them healthy. The idea of healthy skin, without a hint of a tan, made indoor living normal.
The lack of light absorption in typical lives greatened during the same last 20 years that autism in infants grew rapidly. Too much restraint in planning outdoor activities takes away some of a person’s good health. Perfectly pale skin comes at a cost.
The harmful effect makes extraordinary caution against the sun worth a second consideration. A moderate degree of skin color, as long as it is not the pink caused by overexposure, can be a sign of safe living and good health. Mothers might want to put a little sunlight back in their health care plan.

Skin Savvy: The Ayurvedic Perspective

Maharishi Ayurveda Newsletter

Protecting your Skin from the Sun

In our world of ozone holes and SPF-30 sunscreens, most people have come to think of the sun as a formidable enemy of the skin.
Many doctors consider visible signs of aging of skin on fair-skinned people — leathery texture, wrinkles and age-spots, for example — mainly the result of ultraviolet radiation. Yet the sun, besides being the source of energy for mind and body, also nourishes the skin. It’s the best natural source of Vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium absorption and healthy bones. Many doctors today recommend 15 minutes of direct exposure to gentle sun on the hands and face to absorb the minimum daily requirement of Vitamin D.

Over-protecting from sun is not a good idea. The challenge is to maximize the benefit from sun and at the same time protect it from damage.

People with Caucasian skin definitely should avoid direct exposure to strong sun, because their skin makes less melanin, the pigment that acts as a barrier to UV rays. However, short periods of exposure to very early morning sun are soothing and mild on the skin, and allow even very sensitive skin to absorb necessary Vitamin D.

The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians recommends avoiding long exposure to the sun whenever you are angry, hungry or emotionally upset, as these factors increase Pitta — the fire element — in the body and make the skin even more sensitive to sun damage. At these times, it’s important to protect yourself by wearing a hat, protective clothing (full-sleeved shirts and pants, for example) and sunglasses. People with naturally more Pitta in their bodies should always take care to protect themselves from the midday sun.

'Daylight Robbery: Sunlight - the ultimate detoxifier?'

In his book Daylight Robbery: The Importance of Sunlight to Health, Dr. Damien Downing shares research from Russia that shows that animals exposed to the higher amounts of sunlight were capable of removing toxins out of their body considerably faster than animals reared away from the sun. Even difficult to remove toxins like lead, cadmium, mercury, liver poisons and neurotoxins were detoxed from 2 – 20 times as fast.
Daylight Robbery: The Importance of Sunlight to Health

by Dr. Damien Downing
Sunlight – the ultimate detoxifier?
Excerpt, Chapter 13
It is only the Russians who have fully appreciated this effect of sunlight and put it to use. Their experiments showed that animals exposed to the correct doses of sunlight were capable of clearing a wide range of toxins out of their system considerably quicker than animals reared away from the sun. The toxins that they studied included quartz and coal dusts, toxic minerals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, liver poisons such as carbon tetrachloride, and the neurotoxins which these days are so heavily used worldwide as pesticides. They found that sunlight speeded up the clearance of toxins from the body twice to as much as twenty times. The best effect was obtained when sunlight exposure had started some time before exposure to the toxin.

Excellent - just downloading the jerico sunfire ebook thanks vladmir. I'm up to 16 minutes at the moment. Still loving it :D (and for all those who wonder - I can still see!:D)

[ashangel]

I have been doing this on and off for quite some time now and have no ill effects, even the midday sun on the solstice (Silbury hill) is bearable and having the sun in my eyes whilst driving is no longer an issue for me either.

One thing I have noticed though is that my left eye is considerably stronger than my right eye, with my left eye I can look at the sun for long periods at most times of the day and no ill effects, but not with both or my right eye which I assume behaves as a normal persons eye would.
When I was a child I had short-sighted vision caused by what the opticians called left-eye dominance, don't know if that has anything to do with it. Since I started sun-gazing my vision Improved dramatically and I am sleeping better.


It really does need to be done barefoot, or you will become restless through pent up energy, being barefoot on soil, sand, grass or natural stone/wood has the effect of grounding you. Being barefoot like that also is a good way to let your stresses ebb away. Try meditation barefoot in sunlight, you will see what I mean. though I only wear shoes and socks when In urban environments which I tend to avoid these days anyway whenever possible.

I have been a little lax with it of late though and have really noticed my energy levels drop and have definitely become more irritable and less focused than usual. The chemtrails don't help matters either.

Speaking of which its 05:20 and I'm missing my morning dose, gotta run.

It's curious, but I have no doubt that if done properly, sungazing can be done at any time of the day quite safely [but please note - I'm not recommending anyone should do it other than at the 'safe' times]

Good point about the grounding it's something I have been pretty lax about - especially in winter! I find it difficult to go barefoot in the snow:D

I know what you mean about chemtrails - I find it distracting having to sungazing through a pea souper:rolleyes:

You are welcome! :)

Uma Sankar is a well-known sun yogi in India. Uma Sankar practices sun gazing as a traditional yogi, using discipline and concentration achieve full enlightenment – union with the Supreme Soul. This article shares the method taught by Uma Sanakar.

Sun Meditation by Uma Sankar

To practice sun meditation, beginners should start by looking at the rising sun early in the morning. You can also look at the setting sun, but it is not as effective as at sunrise because the energy is decreasing.

If you feel any trouble gazing directly at the sun, you should focus your gaze a short distance above the sun. Try not to blink, but if you feel discomfort, blink several times, then start again. If you do this three of four times, your resistance power will be increased and it will be easy to look at the sun. Then, we can gradually increase the time that we gaze at the sun.

swamiji-umasankarBeginners should start looking each day for a short period, then day by day increase the amount of time so that the eyes can gradually adapt without any harm. It is very important to maintain regular practice, as it will allow your eyes to adapt properly. Some people may experience problems in the first few days, sometimes headaches or burning sensations in the eyes, or a ’sunspot’ that affects your vision. This is quite normal, and the only way to overcome these problems is to continue practising. It is similar to any physical exertion that may cause stiffness or pain; it does not last long, and it is best removed by continuing the exercise.

When you can continue staring at the sun for ten minutes, the sun will seem to disappear. The inside of the sun will appear as blue sky surrounded by a ring of light, it will sometimes appear as two suns, sometimes rotating clockwise or anticlockwise. As your concentration develops and you can gaze at the sun for longer, you will be able to see a ‘black spot’ in the middle of the sun. Sometimes this black spot will be bigger, at other times smaller. After practice, the black spot will remained fixed in one place. Suddenly, from this black hole, seven colours will emerge and move around the sun, sometimes clockwise, sometimes anti-clockwise. As your concentration increases, a powerful beam of light will come from the sun towards your body. In the beginning this beam of light will not touch the body, it will come towards you and then retreat back to the sun. Eventually, as your concentration improves, this light will touch your body and you will attain complete thoughtless condition. This is the start of the pratyaharam stage, and indicates the beginning of Sunyoga experience.

After being touched by this light, a vibration will start from the heart, allowing us to control three negativities; shame, hatred and fear. With regular practice this vibration will increase and you will be able to gain control over four more negativities; anger, greed, narrow attraction, ego & jealousy. As the vibration increases you will be able to control sexual desire and lust. At this point, the pratyaharam stage is complete.

The next step, as the inner vibration increases and extends from the muladhara chakra at the base of the spine to the sahasradhara chakra at the top of the head, the sadhak will experience sahaja samadhi during which he will be able to see a bright light, inside of which there will be a beautiful structure. This is the atmadarsanam stage, the ‘who am I’ stage, the sadaguru stage, the mukha stage. At that time the sadhak will feel, ‘I know him but i have never seen’ because it has always been within… our sagunabramha structure. This marks the completion of the dhyana stage.

swamijieyes-umasankarAs the inner vibration develops, we’ll discover that there are two more chakras, one above the head called the ultra chakra and one below the head called the ultra balance chakra. At this point, we will be able to hear a sound, which some people call AUM, others have called AMEN, while others have called it ALAM. This is the dharana stage. At this point we can receive divine messages from the universe.

The final stage is nirvikalpa samadhi, at which point a further two chakras are discovered, one above the ultra chakra called the cosmos chakra, and one below the ultra balance chakra called the cosmos balance chakra. Our mental force will be more than gravitational force, our soul will leave the body and unite with the supreme soul.
The Thirteen Stages of Sunyoga:

1. Conquer all material desires (sexuality, anger, greed, narrow-mindedness, ego & jealousy, shame, hatred and fear)
2. Develop Divine Energy
3. Atma Darsanam – Discovery of Atma (or soul)
4. Samadhi – Enlightenment
5. Conquer hunger
6. Conquer thirst
7. Conquer diseases
8. Paramahansa – Adjusting the mind to all situations
9. Having no enemies – all enemies will be friends (including animals)
10. Longetivity (this happens when the body’s vibration becomes the same as the environment’s)
11. The body’s vibration and earth’s vibration will be equal
12. The body’s vibration and sun’s vibration will be equal
13. The body’s vibration and the vibration of the Universe (Supreme Soul) vibration will be equal.

• Sungazing—Moonlight and sunlight meditation/gazing spiritually charges and uplifts…providing the fuel for rapid ascension. It is recommend that you start off with a few minutes a day and increase the duration by a few minutes more each sunny day, building toward sessions 15 minutes or more. "Gazing directly into the sun actually improves sight and aids in overcoming disease..." Herbert Shelton. Sunbathing heals cancer by building up the immune system and increasing the oxygen in the tissues. It is damaged molecules from cooked food in combination with sunlight that causes cancer. The sun is needed for vitamin D creation, making sex hormones, mineral assimilation and utilization, building muscle, catalyzing chemical reactions in the body, building strong immune system and bones…and all life processes in the body. Improvements in health, intelligence, spiritual opening, intuitive access and body energy from the sungazing.
The Native American tradition believed that if you look at the Sun and go to the heart and appreciate the Sun’s contribution to life, and then ask for a request to be fulfilled. Sungazing is always done at the hour of sunrise or sunset and seated barefoot, ideally in nature. I've also found that my heartbeat changes when I'm sungazing, always done with a sense of profound connection and gratitude for the sun. "When you look at the Brightest One, your heart melts in love." Also I discovered that sungazing is an excellent way to achieve a state of no thought. The photons from the sun can help soothe and enlighten the body, prana, mind and soul can enter sympathetic resonance. The sun’s rays “defrag,” remove imbalances and organize the electromagnetic matrix of living beings. However sungazing/sunbathing or radiation/oxidation in general is damaging to the body if the tissues are made of unstable transfats and your omega-3:omega-6 ratio is off, and you do not have adequate antioxidants from colorful fruits and vegetables in your body reserves.

Sunyogi Umasankar was born into a Hindu family in West Bengal, near Calcutta in 1967. Living next to an ashram throughout his childhood, he developed an early interest in Yoga and religion. By the age of eighteen, having spent a large proportion of his life practicing Yoga, he made the decision to dedicate part of his life to walking through every state of India spreading the message of 'Universal Unity, Peace and Brotherhood'. Although his spiritual training is from a Hindu background, Swamiji's message has always been directed at people of all religions. His ideas are based on a religion of humanity that makes no distinction between colour, race or religion... a path for all mankind with a common goal that is unity, peace and brotherhood.

Swamiji's journey through India did not start until 1997. For two years prior to his journey Swamiji stayed in Aurobindo ashram in Pondicherry practicing Yoga and making many important discoveries. The most important of his discoveries was 'Sunyoga'. Very little is known about Sunyoga; it is briefly mentioned in some of the ancient Indian scriptures, but at the time of Swamiji's discovery, nobody else was known to be practicing it in the modern world. Now, five years later, there are an estimated 10,000 people throughout India practicing Sunyoga, taught by Swamiji on his travels.

Pondicherry is on the coast of south east India, looking over the Bay of Bengal. During his time at the ashram, Swamiji spent every morning meditating on a rock looking out at the sun's reflection off the sea. His daily meditation upon the reflected sunlight gave him great pleasure, but at this time he did not consider it to be a form of Yoga. As he continued though, Swamiji became aware that, through this method of meditation, he was somehow able to absorb powerful energies from the sun's rays. Swamiji began to experiment by looking directly at the sun - initially as it was rising, then day by day he began to concentrate on it as it rose higher into the sky. He continued his meditation and after a couple of months the sun started to appear as a "clear hazy ring with soft blue sky inside". The harsh brightness disappeared and he felt it become increasingly soothing. As time went on, he started to see "seven bright colours radiating from the sun, slowly reaching closer to the ground". Three months after starting his concentration on the sun, Swamiji felt these rays - the sun's cosmic energy - touch his body, creating within him an undescribable feeling of peace and calm.

Shortly after this experience, Swamiji returned to the ashram to eat his usual food, but he found that he was unable to digest his simple plate of chapatis. His body rejected the food, yet he felt that he was fully nourished. During his three month period of concentrating on the sun, Swamiji had developed a great interest in the way that trees and plants are able to receive energy directly from sunlight. His discoveries now made him believe that he had found a way of absorbing the sun's energy directly into his body, charging his body's cells with kinetic energy and therefore removing the need to eat food. So, as an experiment, Swamiji stopped eating breakfast and continued concentrating on the sun. Six months later, he stopped eating his dinner, then six months after that, he stopped eating food at all. From the 17th August until the 7th December 1996, Swamiji stopped eating and sleeping altogether. His body weight remained the same and he continued his daily routine working in the assram in a perfect state of health. Shortly after this period of his life, he began his journey through India teaching his discoveries to people he met along the way. During his travels, he has become a source of great interest to a number of scientific and medical research centres where he had his claims tested, examined and verified - at least up to the level of sophistication that modern scientific instruments are capable of reaching.

I have met Swamiji 31,000 km after he started walking barefoot through India. I have now witnessed him living with no food, water or sleep, spending part of each day staring at the sun as if it was as soft as the moon. On a number of occasions I have watched him enter Samadhi (the ultimate state of joy attained through Yoga) during meditation, and I have felt him stop his pulse through sheer concentration. He does not seem to feel the cold - he sometimes sits barechested at night when I am feeling cold wearing thick woolly clothes and wrapped in a blanket. His personality is patient, gentle and calm and his attitude towards others is like that of a close friend or a brother. He is always true to his philosophies and all his claims - I believe - are 100% true.

The purpose of this website is not to encourage readers to go outside and stare directly at the sun, because without proper guidance this could be very harmful. What I have written is an overview of my discussions with Swamiji - it is simply intended to create an interest in the subject, and those who wish to pursue it further can find out more at the International Spiritual Conference in Calcutta.

So I'm not gunna read threw another thread that has multiple pages of you guys argueing and or posting walls of text. I have been damaged by food addatives and can no longer focus reading. I can how ever watch youtube videoes and read short lines that are spaced out. Basically my question is, should you look into the sun? It does make a bit of sense like OP said to look at sunrise or sunset and build up incrementally but when you can look at the sun for 45 minutes and be charged, how do we get charged by eating the things we do? I'm not ruling this out as a possibility and I am no science buff but this seems a bit over the edge. Sometimes I temporarily damage my eyes and when I close them I can see the basic outlines of everything I just saw prior to closing them, which is like when you look at the sun you get that little dot and it does not go away for a bit. This is an interesting topic and I would like some links to videos on the subject. Please be loving and cater to my needs, I am not demanding anything wether blatantly expressed or implied.

[vladmir]

Basically my question is, should you look into the sun?
ONLY safe sungazing is what is recommended in this thread, that is,
softly and with your eyes relaxed, gaze gently at the morning or evening Sun, as it rises or sets.
Sungazing for beginners should only be done half hour after sunrise, or half hour before sunset. After the initial half hour, the Sun progressively will get brighter as it moves up the horizon.
Do not gaze or stare at the Sun at any other time than what is recommended.
Sungazing opens up your Heart,
and enlightens the path of a very deep and Real connection,
that every living being on this Earth has with the Cosmic Intelligence.

Sungazing is literally a Cosmic Gateway into 'the Sun'.
And 'the Sun behind the Sun'.
This is not fiction, or imagination but to verify this,
the call to sungaze should come from within you.
Sungazing is very simple.
No guru, no mantra, no rituals, worship, no money required, no judgment, and no one in between.
Simple, Direct Living Connection. Moment to Moment. Fresh!!
Experience it for yourself!
Just use the suggestions and tips of people in this thread to begin your journey.

This is an interesting topic and I would like some links to videos on the subject. Please be loving and cater to my needs, I am not demanding anything wether blatantly expressed or implied.

It's advisable to do this only for the first 8 minutes after the Sun has risen; that's how long it takes for the light to reach Earth. Doing this will not damage the eyes.
An ancient practice of the Jains is to form a diamond with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands and to view the Sun through that aperture. You will see rays in several directions. There's a mantra that can be said while doing this:
Om Suryaya Namah

It seems to me like that is the illuminati hand sign that Jay Z does, with the diamound made by both hands, I've seen pictures of Bill Gates and Kanye West doing it too. Perhaps illuminati is just a group of people who all have one goal in mind and that is to keep the control about this information to them selves? It seems more feasible that the illuminati just have full powered brains from looking into the sun rather then demons possessing them to write songs and do "genius" things. I believe David Icke talks about this but I know Alex Collier does, how we have been genetically manipulated so we are "half brained" because the part of the brain which connects the two has been made to not work, almost like our brain has been firewalled off but is connected to the internet except you can access everything because of the firewalling. I forget which side of the brain does what but one side is all about micro management and the other is about macro management, to put it simply. We have all been stuck in the micro management side thus been trapped in the 3rd density/dimension so things effect us deeply and what not because we can not see the big picture. I'm not saying that if you saw the big picture, for example, a death in the family wouldn't effect you but that who ever died would have been able to see and "dodge" the car that hit them or do something about the disease they had. I forget from where, but one of these conspiracy theory guys basically said religion is out lived and also man made, so if it is true then how could the illuminati be empowered by satan if satan doesn't exist? In no way am I saying that if what is said is possible from sun gazing is bad, merely that illuminati may get their power by doing this. Also it is only power because so few do it, not able to do it but do it. I believe everyone can do this so it would cease to be power when everyone did. There power comes from limiting and controlling all aspects of life so you do not do this. We are all genius' in something, we can be as smart as Bill Gates or as good at music as anyone ever or as good at a sport as the pros.

tl;dr illuminati use their hand symbol wile sun gazing to get there brain fully functional

our atmosphere is so fucked up you'll get eye cancer from UV damage
proceed with tinted protection

[vladmir]

our atmosphere is so fucked up you'll get eye cancer from UV damage

FYI: The UV index during sunrise and sunset is between 1 and 3.
There is no question of over-exposure to UV rays in the early morning or when the Sun is setting.
That is perfectly safe, and in fact, UV rays are quite beneficial for your health.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51OFPciGbmL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
The UV advantage
NEW YORK, N.Y. . . (May 18) . . . After 30 years of research and the publication of more than 200 peer-reviewed journal articles, many in the three most prestigious medical journals in the world -- The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of the American Medical Association -- Dr. Michael F. Holick, a professor of medicine, physiology, and biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine, is directly challenging the conventional thinking of the medical establishment by demonstrating how moderate exposure to sun has powerful health benefits in his new book, The UV Advantage, available in bookstores nationwide today. Dr. Holick is considered by many to be one of the nation's foremost authority on vitamin D.

Dr. Holick said, "Today we face what is in fact a 'medically significant' epidemic of vitamin D deficient people. Forty to sixty percent of Americans are seasonally or chronically vitamin D deficient. Many who practice dermatology and their supporters in the sunscreen industry have scared the public right out of the sun, the best way to produce the vitamin D the body needs. These 'naysayers' have ignored the mountain of peer-reviewed science that demonstrates moderate exposure to natural or artificial sunlight has a powerful beneficial impact on health. Simply put the American Academy of Dermatology and the sunscreen industry have their heads buried in the sand," Holick said.

Other leading medical experts agree with Dr. Holick's expertise. Robert P. Heaney, M.D., Professor of Medicine at John Creighton University has said, "Dr. Holick provides a much-needed antidote for the scare tactics of the skin mafia."

John S. Adams, M.D., Firestein Professor of Medicine and Director, Bone Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA School of Medicine said, "With The UV Advantage, Dr. Holick provides the clinical community with the first balanced, unbiased view of the benefits and dangers of sunlight exposure in the last 50 years."

I can't remember if this has been brought up before, but I've always wondered how it worked in relation to sungazing:

I live in the Rocky Mountains and it takes a while for the sun to "rise" over the tall peaks in the east, by that time the sun is up rather high in the sky...is this still a good time to do sungazing?

I have a similar question, does it matter where you are in relation to sea level or horizon such as mountain hills and valleys?

[vladmir]

I live in the Rocky Mountains and it takes a while for the sun to "rise" over the tall peaks in the east, by that time the sun is up rather high in the sky...is this still a good time to do sungazing?
The following is simply what i do myself, so the views expressed below are simply a sungazer's opinion, and should be treated that way.

I have found great benefit in closing my eyes and gently looking in the Sun's direction, and just feel the warmth of the sunlight on my face.
Even with the eyes closed, you still see a diffused brightness come in through the eyelids.
I mentally welcome the light in,
and ask the Sun to guide me in merging my mind/thoughts with the light rays that are streaming in.
I am barechested and usually sitting in sukhasana, the pose is pictured below:
http://www.yogaartandscience.com/homep/whatp/files/page41_21.jpg
Invite the Sun into yourself and release all darkness, negativity, guilt, any repressed emotions, everything, open yourself to the light and request the sunlight to shine in every corner of your body, mind and spirit.
Within a few seconds, you mind will simply be overcome with silence, a silence not of negation, but of fullness. The mind will realize that it is pointless to think and you will instead just be.
This is what will recharge you, and make you feel more energetic as you come out of your meditation. Because you are not imagining or using will-power to force yourself to meditate, and because sungazing is effortless and thoughtless and imageless, concentration of a different sort will occur naturally. This concentration will be without any exertion on your part.
And it is this deepened state that will recharge you by itself as you come out of meditation and start your day with positivity!
There will be a joy, a spontaneous joy, and it will be there for no 'reason'.
That smile will come on internally, and you mind will be hard pressed to find out why you are smiling.

All that i am saying here is this: Your connection with your Self, is a wellspring of never-ending joy and peace.
Sungazing is one method to jolt-start that memory of who you really are.

[vladmir]

I have a similar question, does it matter where you are in relation to sea level or horizon such as mountain hills and valleys?
HRM has suggested various approaches to that scenario:
1) Build a small shallow pool, fill it with water and gaze at the reflection.
This reflection will be less brighter than the Sun in the sky.

2) Dont directly look at the center of the Solar Orb, instead look in its general direction, and allow the light to stream in that way all over your face and body.

3) You can meditate, that is imagine the Sunrise, and mentally affirm that this image is of the rising Sun and dedicated to connection you with the Sun.
The Mind is a very powerful instrument, and through this technique, you will still connect with the Sun!
The image of the Sun can be located at the 3rd eye, or in your Heart-space.

4) Closed eyes sungazing, as has been mentioned in my previous post.

5) Gaze at the brightness of the horizon above the mountains as the sunrise is happening, mentally recognize that the light that you are seeing, is coming from the Sun himself. Gazing at this brightness will also help in calming your mind, and you will see the subtle changes in the atmosphere at dawn. It can be a great time for reflection, and introspection.

Greetings to all of you!

Greetings from another sungazer!

In his Coast to Coast AM radio interview, psychologist Christopher Holmes discusses his “most mind-boggling” subject – that humans beings are spiritual beings that come from the sun and return to the sun at death.

....that come from the sun and return to the sun at death.

Sun is light of the World.Sun is Creator's manifestation thus Sun IS the Creator.Sun teaches us about Absolute Love and Light.As Sun is Creator or its manifestation we can say that we come from Light and that we return to Light.
Namaste!

Have read whole thread.
I just wanna stress out that after 14 months of SAFE sungazing mine eyes are just fine,no problems whatsoever.I can see futher than before.
So gaze the Sun as Sri Hira is teaching and preaching and no harm will come to you.Just priceless benefits for free.

I have a question.

HRM says that you should Sun-gaze while you're barefoot on NATURAL earth, not including grass.

Well I know this may sound silly, but that's kind of hard when you're living in a polluted city in America lol. I mean I could walk into someone's planters, between bushes, but now we're getting silly.

Has anyone tried Sun-gazing while barefoot on cement or grass? Did you notice a difference in revitalization?

I'd like to try this, but I don't want be wasting my time by standing on cement and just tricking myself into thinking this works.

Yes it seems, according to Hira, that the grass might end up sucking vitality from your aura through the soles of your feet for its own regeneration,
so direct contact with bare earth is better.
You want to release the excess energy into the earth similar to a lightning rod,
but you also dont want it to be sucked out of you in excess,
which apparently mowed grass does.

Cement is fine, if bare earth is not available. Just keep your back straight when you are standing, no hunching. Hira lays a lot of importance on the spine being as straight as possible when standing barefoot and sungazing.

I really appreciate it. No kidding, this may really restore health and perhaps even save my eyesight which seems to be in some decline. Both home and work tend to be dark environments with limited sunlight. That's obviously not good. I have done reflection pools in the past but not consistently. I'm inspired by the idea that with time it will be natural to abandon or greatly reduce eating.

I would guess that the "Generic" rules for sun gazing are the following:

1. The best exercises for anyone are the ones they enjoy and are willing to do consistently. If a person enjoys sun gazing it's for them.

2. Be natural. Don't force it. Don't think you have to stare at the sun directly if it's not comfortable. You can't fail if you look in it's direction with or without your eyes open. Don't imagine it's all or none. It's never none.

3. You can do sun gazing any time. If it's mid day you can do it with your eyes closed and blink occasionally. Even a fraction of a second every minute or so has to be better than not doing it. The energy coming in has to be valuable even in small quantities. Reflection pools are also good. Do what you're comfortable with and remain consistent.

4. The human body is very adaptive. Be patient and allow yourself to work up to longer and more direct viewing of the sun. It's perfectly natural for the eyes to have to adapt over sometime.

5. Test your practice by trying to apply more time and direct focus but never force your practice. If you can't look comfortable at the sun directly for 1 second what do you think 10 seconds will be good for? Nothing. Nature is telling you your not ready yet. Accept that. Be patient. It's impossible to fail even if you don't like it and don't want to do it and stop. It's just fine. There are other things in life. If you enjoy it, great!

Sungazing works fine on any natural underground.. be it moss, grass, rocks,
plants, water or sand. Plants do not take energy from your aura, as plants
are Light they only give energy, they never take it.

Just make sure you're not standing on an ancient negative vortex or black
magick vortex. Because they will suck the energy out of your body and undo
all the benefits of the sungazing.

The way to feel if there is a vortex, ancient or black magick, is to meditate
and focus on your energy. If you feel something pulling at you, you are most
likely standing on such a vortex.

Negative vortexes were created millions of years ago, I don't know exactly
how though. Black magick vortexes were created through the intense use
of the darkest of black magicks in the past. Often areas with a lot of poverty
and crime and with a lot of ghost activity, have such vortexes, as the vortex
literally draws in and traps all the "luck" of the people in that area.

I had two such vortexes on the land around my house. A healer has removed
them, and the energy in my house and garden has improved greatly. I don't
know how to release such vortexes, so I can't tell you what to do when you
find one, all you can do is find a different place to meditate or sungaze.

Have any of you sungazed in the colder regions? I reallly want to start, but I'm afraid to get cut off once it gets cold and there is snow on the ground. Not the most pleasant thing to do.

[heuer]

What are the benefits of sun glazing?

Also, is there really any issue in wearing sunglasses during the day?
