Sun-gazing: Why You Should Be Doing It!-2

Hira Ratan Manek talks about the healing power of the sun and how to go about it -

You can blink your eyes or flicker, don’t need to keep your eyes steady and don’t wear any lenses, glasses, sunscreen lotions, etc. while sun-gazing. You don’t need anything to block out the full spectrum of sunlight. For safety reasons, you can always go for an eye check-up and also check the UV index using a phone application or photo sun-cards to UV and IR radiation.

0-3 months – Look at the rising or setting sun one time per day during safe hours while standing barefoot on mud, sand or any soil, for 10 seconds on the first day and add 10 seconds every succeeding day. So at the end of 10 continuous days of sun gazing you will be looking at the sun for 100 seconds i.e. 1 minute and 40 seconds. By the time you reach three months gazing duration would be 15 minutes at a stretch. Initially the brain gets charged up and you tend to feel more relaxed as mental tension and stress fades away, you gain more confidence and positive mindset as a result and an increased ability to easily solve your problems.

3-6 months – During this period of gazing you would have reached 30 minute duration and studies show that physical diseases start to disappear since by then all the colors of the sun will have reached the brain. The vital organs are dependent on certain sun color like Kidney red, Heart yellow, Liver green etc., each color reaches the organs and address any deficiencies. Thats why its recommended to eat a diet rich in all colours.

Benefits of Sungazing

Sun-gazing can eliminate psychological and physical problems, as it recharges the body, mind and soul. It also opens the Pineal Gland

6-9 months – By the time you reach 7.5 months of sun-gazing for 35 mins, hunger starts going down palpably as need for food intake decreases. Its like when we eat food we indirectly get the sun energy, here you are directly satisfying the need to eat food from the source.

Energy is at a higher level and the brain including the Pineal gland is well activated with the sun energy. Sunshine helps to balance the flow and production of melatonin in the pineal gland.

Once you reach a duration of 44 mins of sun gazing, you need to stop as its harmful for the eyes to continue. But you need to carry on walking barefoot or Earthing for 45 minutes daily for 6 days generally when the sunlight is falling on your body. The reflex for the pineal gland is found in the big toe and the remaining four toes represent other glands – pituitary, hypothalamus, thalamus and amygdala. When you walk barefoot on soil/ mud/sand all these 5 glands are stimulated and combined with sunlight, create a sort of magnetic field in and around your body that recharges you and your brain.

You can continue to reap benefits of sun-gazing by walking barefoot for 45 mins for a year, and few minutes of sun energy falling on you once in 3-4 days will be enough from then on. In yoga, Surya Namaskar or salutation to the sun works on the same principle of tapping the energy of the sun for a better living and health!

Staying connected to nature have more benefits then any other treatment or medicine – more chances of less or no illness at all and in the bargain you also don’t support the profit-making Pharma industries.

If you chose to partake, be very careful, take your time, be cautious, and document your progress. Take advice from an expert, if required! Practice correctly at the right time and get energised!
