I just heard about this sun gazing practice and have enjoyed reading comments as much as reading about the actual practice and would like to throw in my 2 cents now.

As a child, I grew up out in the country with a large garden and was always barefoot. There was absolutely something very special about the feel of warm tilled earth under my feet. I didn't "sun gaze" but would often tilt my face towards the sun and enjoy the feeling of the warm sun on my face and the almost magical feel of the warm earth under my feet. It was almost like an electrical tingle and I felt a vibration throughout my whole body. I loved it and would seek it out whenever possible. I imagine standing in warm water with warm sand would be equally as sweet.

I started sungazing only recently. Sunrises at 6:30am here and I can see it from out of all the trees by 6:45/50am. I earth walk a bit before during and after and meditate. I'm enjoying it and my brother does it with me.

I read that staring at an eclipse of sun or moon through a telescope is actually worse for you than anything.

I will continue doing my sungazing. Im already part blind in my left eye so perhaps it will improve. I'll keep you all updated.

I have been doing sun gazing for more than a year, at most 10 minutes. My eyes are still intact. My eyes closes at the first attempt of sun contact. After this, there are small dark spots appearing on the second sun contact and finally these small dark spots form a circle and covers the sun. Then, I see the sun very clearly, as if I am just gazing at the moon.
