The Ancient Practice Of Sun Gazing
Sun energy is the source that powers the brain. It enters the body through the elements of air, water,
fire, and earth. Sunlight enters and leaves the human body most easily and directly through the human
eye, provided it isn’t filtered out by colored lenses. Sun gazing is an ancient practice that can induce
healing of body and mind.
The eyes are very complex organs, consisting of 5 billion parts. Acting as a photo lens, the human eye
is able to break down the entire spectrum of sunlight into the different color rays. In a camera, the various
rays of light react with the chemicals of the film and encode the pictures you take. Likewise, upon
entering the pineal gland in the brain, the different rays are chemically encoded in the brain and passed on
to the organs and systems in the body. The vital organs of the body are dependent on specific colors of the
light spectrum. For kidney cells to function properly, for example, they require red light. Heart cells need
yellow light, and liver cells require green light. Light deficiencies in any of the organs and systems of the
body can lead to disease. Regular sun gazing can help restore balance and efficiency to all cells in the
body.
One should gaze at the sun only in the morning or evening hours, about one or two hours after sunrise
or before sunset. Look at the rising or setting sun once per day. On the first day, look at the sun in a
relaxed manner for a maximum of 10 seconds. On the second day, look at it for 20 seconds, adding about
ten seconds every succeeding day. After ten continuous days of sun gazing you will be looking at the sun
for about 100 seconds. The eyes can blink or flicker and don’t need to be steady.
To receive the main benefits of sun gazing, you need to increase the duration in the above manner
until you reach three months. This brings you up to the length of 15 minutes of gazing at a time. At this
stage, the sun energy of the sun’s rays passing through the human eye will be charging the hypothalamus
tract—the pathway behind the retina leading to the human brain. As the brain increasingly receives extra
power through this pathway, you will find a drastic reduction of mental tension and worries. With access
to this additional source of energy, you are likely to develop a more positive mindset and increased self-
confidence. If you suffer from anxieties and depression, you will find that these go away. Sadness and
depression are known to increase with reduced or lack of exposure to sunlight. With fewer worries and
fears, your brain may use the saved and additionally supplied energy for healing and improvement of
mental and physical wellbeing. One of the most frequently reported benefits of regular sun-gazing is
improvement of eyesight.
I would like to conclude this important topic on sunlight by quoting a reader’s observation he made at
Sydney airport: “Some years back while waiting for a flight out of Sydney I remained in the terminal for
several hours. Many flights came and went. There was a great difference in the people’s facial expression
of new arrivals. The ones that arrived from a colder part, (not much sun) did not smile, did not appear
happy, and basically kept to themselves. People arriving from warmer, sunny parts of Australia radiated
warmth and friendliness, and it was very notably etched on their faces. This observation I have never
forgotten. So, you see what sunshine does to people...” ~ Roger Sorokoput
