Recently I heard about Sun Gazing and have been meaning to look into it for ages. With the incredible lack of sunlight that we have had here in England this summer, I decided it was time to figure out how I was going to get the most out of the sun we do have, and thought that maybe sun gazing could help.
I have now been practicing sun gazing for two whole days. I haven’t noticed any particular changes yet…but will let you know.
I for one have been taught that staring into the sun will ruin your eyes. I have never even questioned this as a fact, until I moved to a country where there is very little sun and discovered sun gazing.
Sun gazing has been made possible by Hira Ratan Manek. He was told by many different Gurus that his life’s purpose was to bring the sun’s energy down to earth. Eventually he discovered sun gazing, and has since made it increasingly popular.
And Hira Ratan Manek is no ordinary man. The sun gazing has helped him have almost no need for any food whatsoever. He actually fasted for an incredible 411 days…living on water and sunlight only. 411 days! That is more than a year. And during his adventure he looked and felt fabulous! This fast was scientifically documented by “Real Doctors” by the way.
Sun gazing offers a way to store so much energy, that we no longer need food! Personally, I am not interested in giving up food because I love it way too much. But I am interested in a practice that could solve world hunger and make me feel great…while getting building a relationship with nature and the sun (yes, it is up there everyday, even in England!)
Why Sun Gaze?
We all know that the sun is an incredible source of energy. The world’s top research is continually showing us that the sun is not this evil horrible monster that we need to constantly protect ourselves from. The sun is actually a source of incredible nutrients, such as vitamin D. More sun generally means less depression, and even less cancer.
But Sun Gazing takes this idea and runs with it. With the aid of sunlight, you can recharge each cell and atom in your body to its full potential. Sun gazing can be done to tap into your full human potential. Apparently, sun gazers who reach that 44 minute mark actually use 50% of their brain rather than the usual 10-12%.
It is said to release physical and emotional blockages that cause disease and unhappiness. Our perceptions increase and the universe becomes more expansive.
How to Sun Gaze
It seems that there are quite a few different ways to sun gaze, but Hira Ratan Manek’s is quite straight forward yet exact.
Go outside during the sunrise or the sunset, when the sun is weakest, and stare at the sun for 10 seconds. The next day, add on another 10 seconds if possible. If you can only do 5, that is fine, just keep adding on up to 10 seconds per day everyday.
Eventually, you are sun gazing for 44 minutes per day. This could take around 9 months if you are adding 10 everyday, or longer if you add less.
By the time you reach 44 minutes per day, your body is fully charged and you never have to sun gaze again (although you can occasionally still sun gaze if you feel like it.)
It is important to do your sun gazing on the earth, in the sand, or in mud. Concrete, stones, and even grass absorb solar energy. And you don’t want to give your sun gazing energy away, you want to be selfish and save it for yourself. Therefore, standing barefoot on the earth is best…and I assume that this will give you all sorts of other fabulous benefits as well…such as having the opportunity to stand on the earth each day!
It is important not squint your eyes. Relax your facial muscles and allow the light (and the love) in. So far I have found this quite difficult. Even though there is some cloud coverage, I still find that my eyes begin to squint a little bit.
Apparently, according to Hira, the sunrise holds more energy and nutrients…but if you can’t get up that early, the sunset will probably do just fine.
Feel yourself relaxing as you sun gaze. Think of it as a meditation. Let go of all thoughts and open yourself up to receive. Be aware of your body and your surroundings.
Regular Sun Gazers Say that you Can Expect:
After you get to the stage where you are sun gazing for 15-18 minutes (3-4 months) You may notice that you are less irritable, angry, anxious and frustrated. You may feel more blissful, peaceful and joyful. You may even have moments of euphoria. You may begin to desire healthy foods, and junk food and toxic food will seem less appealing. Your overall sensitivity will increase.
When you get to 25-30 minutes (6-7 months), life will become much easier. You will fee clearer and more confident. A feeling that the world is unfolding perfectly, as well as a connectedness to all that is around you may happen. You may also be less hungry and begin to require less food and lighter food.
When you get to around 35 to 40 minutes (9-10 months) you will feel more harmonious and integrated into yourself and your life. You may even begin to feel your energetic body coming alive. Amazingly, many claim that at this stage they are more in touch with their higher selves. Again, you will probably need a considerably lower amount of food.
Once you get to the ultimate 44 minutes. You have reached the ultimate in sun gazing and you may notice that your whole world has changed. The hormonal and glandular system is balanced, in particular the pineal gland, which is also associated with the third eye. The solar energy is able to get into your body via the eyes and charge the body at a cellular level so it can reach its highest potential.
The body becomes purified and awakened. You will require a significantly smaller amount of food, and you may even choose to come off food altogether for a while. Disease and illness may totally disappear and your overall wellbeing will be amazingly enhanced!
My friend Rochelle told me that she has experienced significant improvements in her life, including instant manifestation! WOW!
I am thinking we need to take this practice to some poor countries around the world. Imagine if we could actually teach people in Africa, for example, how to live on the sun which is blazing above them, and improve their quality of life and overall health.
