Sungazing

[jack]

Ive always been interested in this topic. It seems fitting that since we all come from the sun that it is in a sense our mother, our source in this specific sector of existance. So with that being said I decided after some research to start sungazing.

The results so far have been nothing short of astounding.

I would like to add first and foremost that I am the kind of person who leaves the mashed potatos till last and suffers the brussels sprouts first. I do this because I like to savour the tastiest things in life last and have it as the last memory of the meal. I say this to help you understand why exactly I threw caution to the wind and went against the advice of all those who are already adepts in the field of sungazing, which is to say, on my first sitting of sungazing I went the entire 44 minutes, something which is only advised to do after building up gradually by 10 seconds each day until such a point that you are gazing at the sun for 44 minutes which usually takes anything from 9months to a year.

I now understand why this protocol was put in place, so to not overburden the body with both the physical and emotional cleansing that such a practise sets into motion.

It was 2 weeks ago today that I sat for what was the most beautiful 44minutes of my life watching the sun rise from the balcony of my 13th floor apartment in Slovakia. After returning home to Ireland to sort a few things out I underwent the most intense physical cleansing of my life. A lifetime of toxins made its business to get out of my body through the only way possible, my ass. LOL sorry, i couldnt resist being a little bit crude. But that was the bottom line (oops!) diarrhea the likes of which I had never experienced before which coincidently stopped exactly 2 weeks after the sungazing experience. As well as the physical detoxification I have also been undergoing a massive emotional shift where a lifetime of suppressed emotions and memories have been coming to the surface to be healed of which I am still in the process of purging.

I feel so much lighter, happier, expansive, inteligent, loving then I have felt in a long long time. I can put it down to nothing else then the 44 minutes that was spent doing such a simple thing as staring directly at the sun during the safe hour after sunrise.

I will come back here now and again to add any major events or update that might arise. I intend on continuing my sungazing adventure as soon as I return to Slovakia in a couple of weeks time. Right now it might be wise to allow my body to continue the purging process and come to a place of balance before I continue any further, coupled with the fact that the weather is ****e here it seems like the right thing to do.

I do the morning sun gazing when I go walking with my dogs but I only do it for 20 sec to 1 minute, but it might be a good idea to slowly increase the time. I just knew that we can do it, but not for that long.

I really appreciate your time to make this thread Jack.

Please keep us posted.

I started doing it too, Jack.
As a little girl, I was told to NEVER look directly at the Sun because it would make me blind. A couple of months ago, I got an inner guidance to look at the Sun, so I did it for about 20 seconds. It was in the afternoon. And I'm happy to say that it felt pretty good. My eyesight is doing fine.
IMO we have been mislead to believe that our Sun is harmful for us. When in fact, we need it in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I had my sun gazing days, too, back in the 60's. Once about a month before graduating from High School, there were only two weeks left to get a tan before our senior picture taking day. This picture would be in albums forever. So it took some figuring out how to best harness the power of the sun and I put a whole lot of thought into it. In fact, way too much thought into it.

It was one of the hottest Summers ever. I couldn't endure more than a couple of minutes of direct exposure, it was just like torture. So I rigged up an old swamp cooler and a cot to lie on to keep me frosty enough to be able to stay outside and when the heat was still not to be endured, I added turning on our lawn sprinkles to tide me over the hump of maximum exposure. Not for long periods, mind you, but for ten minute stretches here and there over a two week period before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. when the sun is NOT in it's zenith.

My body had other ideas and decided that my great idea of tanning in Senior year was out as I have the palest skin anyway and it was not really meant to tan well and, of course, this made me want to be tan even more.

It was then, that my body decided to make a major protest that I would not forget. On my lips sprouted a dozen fever blisters rending my appearance that of someone who suffered a serious car crash with lip injuries. It was hideous, painful and awful. It was a great embarrassment to walk the halls during those two last weeks of classes.

It was a lesson I learned only too well. No further sun worship or adoration would be tolerated. It is a lesson i have retained in vivid color all of these many years since. And I would clearly advise others to be cautious as well of anything that isn't done with the care and greatest respect and moderation for the Sun. I don't know about you but I leaned this lesson well.

Yes Darla, as with all things in life they can be used to great benifit or abused to our detriment. I made a point of not including a 'how to' in this thread in regards to sungazing as there is much information out there from people with more knowledge and experience then myself who have already taken it upon themselves to write some nicely detailed introductions and explanations.

Sungazing has been practised for thousands of years, and although we do not have those peoples testomonials to help us understand more about the effects of sungazing we do have a mirade of people who are alive today who have practised this art with great results. I have talked to one lady who's eyesight improved to the point where she no longer needed to wear contact lenses. Thats quite contrary to what is claimed by those in field of optemetry where the common belief is held that staring directly at the sun at any stage of its passage accross the sky is detrimental to our visual health.

I will say just one thing to those who are interested in undertaking this fantastic little pass-time, make sure you stick to the times of viewing restricted to 1 hour after sunrise and 1 hour before sunset, this way the atmosphere of the earth filters out most if not all of the 'harmfull' -(another thing of which im not sure) UV rays. Although i have heard of people sungazing at any time during the day sometimes for hours on end, i would advise each person to use their own discretion and personal responsibility.

I learned about sun gazing from Don tolman, he says the enlightened masters of old, as they were observing the intricacies of nature, noticed that during sunrise all the animals would stop what they're were doing and just peacefully watch the sun as it begins to rise, whole herds of elephants would just stop and turn to face the rising sun. So as these enlightened people of old began to copy the animals behaviour they started to notice the rejuvenating effect on both body and mind.

Apparantly if you make a fist, hold it out infront of you and place the bottom of your fist on top of the horizon, the time it takes for the sun to traverse the height of your fist is the safe zone of what your body will tolerate, protons of light being fired off by the sun are directly absorbed by the visual/neural cortex through the eye stimulating the entire neural and electrical pathways of the body, literally like plugging yourself in to a power source and recharging your internal batteries.

unfortunately I live in the centre of a big town and the nearest horizon would be on top of a large building so haven't had the opportunity to experience the healing effects for myself yet. It's definitely on my to do list.
