All About The Sun ~ Sunbathing, sun gazing, and other sun rituals

The sun gives us heat, the energy of light, and various forms of power...

Sunlight carries light frequency and crystalline light consciousness. The sun is always broadcasting codes of awakening, light frequencies, and divine intelligence. This broadcast is triggering the ascension process for humanity, for the earth, and for all beings. It is incredibly beneficial to charge your light body by spending time, even 20 minutes, in the sunshine. Especially early morning or in the evening, just before sunset, to tune into the light of the sun and to draw it into your being. Let it fill your heart, body, and light body with brilliant golden sunlight.

In the West we also have a history of using sunlight therapy that dates back to the ancient Greeks. It was called heliosis. Today, the name for sunlight therapy is heliotherapy.

Watch the sunrise or sunset (when the violet index is low and safe for the eyes) Take a sun bath: Find a spot to lie on your back in the sun. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to ground yourself. As you breathe, begin reflecting on your inner strength, your fire—that part of yourself that is confident and powerful Picture that part of yourself as a fire burning inside of you; it may be fierce and strong, or it may only be a spark. Picture the sun's fire adding to your own inner fire. Continue to breathe in the sun’s fire; absorb it as long as you’re able. When you rise, you will continue to carry that fire with you. Sun gaze responsibly. When you gaze at the sun you should be barefoot and standing on bare earth or sand (not on plants or on rocks or manmade surfaces). Sungazing is done within the period of one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset. During these times the Ultraviolet index is low and safe for the eyes.
