![Sacred Woman Sun Gazing on a desert summer morning. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||<br />
<br />
Sungazing is the act of looking directly into the sun during dawn and dusk. It is sometimes done as part of a spiritual or religious practice.[1] The human eye is very sensitive, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to solar retinopathy, pterygium,[2] cataracts,[3] and often blindness.[4][5][6] Studies have shown that even when viewing a solar eclipse the eye can still be exposed to harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation.[7]- wikipedia<br />
<br />
Per Medium.com article "Sun-Gazing: Explore and Empower Yourself with the Healing Powers of the Sun"<br />
-Nav Aulakh<br />
<br />
How to Practice *Safe Sun-gazing<br />
Practice it in the morning, within an hour of sunrise or/and sunset (it’s safer when the sun is closest to the earth)<br />
Stand barefoot on the ground. If you can’t see the sun from the ground then a balcony or rooftop will work.<br />
Remove contacts or glasses and don’t sun-gaze through windows.<br />
Look directly at the sun for 10 seconds and build up to 30 minutes a day (we started with 5 minutes, which is a pretty safe starting point for most)<br />
If the sun feels too bright, you can squint, gaze around the sun or raise your hands and make a triangle and hold it up against the sun. Then just stare at or around the sun, through the gap between your hands.<br />
On cloudy days, gaze at the position where the sun is behind the clouds<br />
Set your intentions into the sun as part of your daily meditation practice.<br />
‘Also visualise the light going into the front of your chakras, all your trillions of cells, your organs, into the centre of your brain especially to the parts where you have any pain’ (Michaela Light)<br />
After finishing the practice, I usually end with some outdoor yoga and movement Link to Article: https://medium.com/inspirechangegrow/sun-gazing-explore-and-empower-yourself-with-the-healing-powers-of-the-sun-19d6eea78a61](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000KGjZtdZx7kA/fit=200x200/fill=/g=G0000A33l5nKUELQ/I0000KGjZtdZx7kA.jpg)
