Sun-gazing: Why You Should Be Doing It!-1

Isn’t it amazing that a simple method of sun-gazing (during safe hours) can restore balance and harmony in the mind, body and spirit! There are many proponents of this ancient spiritual technique like the Mayan, Egyptian, Aztec, Tibetan and Indian yoga, who considered the sun as the divine source of energy that heals numerous ailments.

If you haven’t heard of Sun-gazing before, it means gazing at the sun during the safe hours i.e within first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset when the sun’s rays are most gentle, UV is zero or very less, therefore it doesn’t damage the eyes. It is done barefoot thereby taking in the earth’s energy as well. Read about ‘Earthing’.

Generally people reckon that gazing at the sun can cause serious damage to your retina., etc., but if sun-gazing is done in the right manner (more about it below), then it can have unbelievable results, in fact it improves your eye-sight.

How to do sun gazing
Why should you sun-gaze?
Absorbing the sun’s energy through your eye -

Stimulates the Pineal Gland as the the sun’s energy moves through the eyes and charges the hypothalamus tract, which is the pathway to the rear of the retina leading to the brain.

Powers the brain and boosts production of serotonin and melatonin (the feel-good hormones)

Relieves stress and tension

Activates the third eye and perceive higher dimensions

Increases energy levels

Increases the size of the pineal gland – Normally, as we age, the pineal gland shrinks. However, brain scans of Hira Ratan Manek (HRM), a long-term practitioner of sungazing, showed that this 70 year-old man has a gland three times as big as a normal man

Reduces hunger pangs since body is nourished by the sun

Improves eyesight

Opens the energy channels or Nadis (Ida and Pingala) in your body

Don’t believe this?

To elaborate on the example of Hira Ratan Manek or popularly known as HRM, who continues to live only on sun energy and water. This was validated by the medical team of Thomas Jefferson University and University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia where he underwent a 130-day observation period in 2002 and they found that the gray cells in HRM’s brain are regenerating.

Hira Ratan Manek or hrm talks about sun gazing

Hira Ratan Manek or HRM continues to live only on sun energy and water since 1995. His secret lies in sun-gazing

700 photographs have been taken where the neurons were reported to be active and not dying. Furthermore, the pineal gland was expanding and not shrinking which is typically what happens after mid fifties and its maximum average size is about 6 x 6 mm, however for HRM, it has been measured to be at 8 x 11 mm.

This study confirmed that he was indeed able to survive largely on light with occasionally a small amount of buttermilk or water during this time. He is more healthy than a normal person his age.

Those who have been sun gazing for many years have had their eyes checked to show no damage, though it is advised that you have your eyes checked in the first few weeks of your practice, so you can know for yourself. Ensure that you are grounded while sun-gazing, so that you don’t damage your eyes

How to do Sun-gazing according to HRM

Sungazing is a one-time practice of your lifetime usually for a period of 9 months. You can break up the practice into three phases – 0 to 3 months, 3-6 months and 6-9 months.
