Sun gazing

[uhsumdumboy]

Is anyone here familiar with sun gazing?
Sun gazing is a one-time practice of your lifetime. Look at the rising or setting sun-one time per day. First day look for a maximum of 10 seconds. Second day look for 20 seconds at the rising sun adding ten 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. Stand on bare earth with bare foot. Eyes can blink and/or flicker. Stillness or Steadiness of the eyes is not required. Why don't you watch the sun instead of the TV? The intensity of the TV is much more than the rising or setting sun. If you can watch TV you can easily watch the rising or setting sun safely. Have a belief component in you that the sun rays or light that you are getting into the eyes is of immense benefit and will not harm you. This will give you earlier, quicker and better results. Without fail, even with out a belief component also you will get results if you follow the practice—it will take longer time—that's all. You need not restrict any of your normal daily routines in life. There are no restrictions. No fasting, enjoy your food. Hold on to your food like a parent holding on to the infant baby. It is hunger that will disappear, food that will leave you. Fasting will happen.

Interesting stuff. I wonder, if true, how this could affect one's astral travels/lucid dreams.

You can watch better sunsets in the Phase. Your subconscious can produce anything a thousand times better. Although, I find watching sunsets and sunrises quite relaxing and can help me to clear my mind - but that's it.

It isn't the same as looking an actual sunset, and feeling the actual sunlight on your skin coming into your eyes.

I've thought about this several times. Honestly, I'm not sure whether it's a good idea or a bad idea. I suppose, with proper spiritual training you can overcome the possible physical damages that would normally occur. I once watched a video called "Chi Guy", and this dude would stare at the sun to gather energy. The energy emitting from the video as I watched it was heavily out of control - borderline psychotic. I would think that sun gazing is something that should only be attempted after years and years of spiritual strengthening and training.
But really - I don't know. I would be interested in hearing more about it if you decide to really get into it.

Oh, is it this chi guy? He is a fountain of wisdom.

So I've been doing this for about 20 days, and as crazy as it sounds it just feels good.
