The Benefits of Sun-gazing

Our primary source of energy is the sun. It sends light photons that reach the Earth's surface in 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Despite the very well known fact that through the sun rays our resources of vitamin D in the body are increased, there are far more benefits of "consuming" sun rays in moderate amounts. The water is the secondary source of energy, because it is the first to receive the sun's energy, and therefore by drinking it we receive this energy as a secondary source. Fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and raw grains are also the secondary sources of energy for our organism.The rest of the food sources are tertiary, but they can also be sources of empty calories due to over processing in industrial chains of production, that leads to breaking down and losing the necessary elements our body needs to function properly. 

Now, using the sun as a primary source, doesn't mean we should stand in the sun for days and for unlimited time periods and wait to be enlightened. You know, too much of a good thing is not so much a good thing after all. There is a very simple technique in order to receive the fire of life and yet don't get burned. It is called Sun-gazing. This practice is thousands of years old and it had been used by many ancient civilizations such as: the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians, the Tibetan and Indian yogis and some Native American Tribes. Hara Ratan Marek is a bretharian who managed to live eleven years only on sunlight and water. Before he started the practice in 1995, he had done a lot of research on the subject following these ancient practitioners. He is a living proof that when done regularly and with enough discipline and caution we can survive and even thrive on sunlight and water. 

This is the proper way to practice: It should be done an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset, when the ultraviolet radiation is at the lowest point. We start at ten seconds the first day and we increase the duration plus ten seconds each day till we reach full 44 minutes after continuous practice of 9 moths. While we sun -gaze it best to stand barefoot on the ground (grounding) and if possible to walk barefoot for 45 minutes in between but not when you look at the sun. When we reach the nine months of sun -gazing, we stop the practice for a few months and we don't stop immediately but gradually shortening the duration of daily practice. In occasions when there aren't proper conditions to do this daily, hence cloudy weather, shorter days, occupational lifestyle, we practice whenever possible but we keep records, even better a journal of how many seconds and then minutes have we reached so far. 

Now, why is it beneficial? First of all, when we gaze at the center of the sun, the light received through our eyes travels to the pineal and pituary gland which refreshes the centers through which we gain clarity. Secondly, it is very beneficial for our over all well-being. There have been reports of practicants who have been healed of their chronic diseases. When we receive the primary energy this way our energetic field is being completely replenished and it seems many, if not all damages are being repaired. The first thing we notice is the gradual loss of appetite after about three to seven months of continuous practice. Note: It is very important not to push yourselves into this practice if it doesn't resonate with your mindset and lifestyle. Also, a regular balance and withdrawal within ourselves is relevant in order to feel the motion of our energy and to notice the changes, if we decide to sun-gaze. The body, itself will tell you if you are ready to proceed or not, so don't stop eating other foods intentionally, because it is obvious we need  the nutrients provided by proper nourishment. 

However, we have been given this divine life force for free, so what would be our excuse not to use it in its entirety and whenever we are able?
