It's time to remember who you are.

Many of us grow up hearing that looking directly at the sun will harm our eyes, and while caution is certainly important, there is a lesser-known practice called sun gazing that some believe can energetically awaken the soul when done safely. Sun gazing involves looking at the rising or setting sun during specific safe times when ultraviolet rays are minimal, usually within the first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset. At these times, the sun’s light is gentler and less likely to cause eye damage. Practitioners combine this gaze with mindful breathing – inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly – to invite a sense of calm and heightened awareness. Personally, I have tried sun gazing during these careful windows, focusing on breathing in life and breathing out what some traditions call “Ra,” representing the life-giving energy of the sun. This ritual helped me feel a subtle but powerful shift inside, awakening sensations of ancient energy and a connection to something greater within myself. This practice is not just about physical perception but also about tuning into inner divinity and accessing higher frequencies of consciousness. Many report feeling a kind of energy surge or activation, a 'remembering' of their awakened soul. If you decide to explore sun gazing, it’s essential to follow guidelines strictly – never look at the sun when it is high in the sky, limit initial sessions to just a few seconds, and gradually increase time over days or weeks. Always be attentive to how your eyes and body respond, and if you experience discomfort, stop immediately. Sun gazing can be a beautiful supplement to your spiritual journey toward conscious living, energy shifting, and reconnecting with the light within. It’s a personal, experiential practice—drop a comment to share if you’ve felt the awakening too.
