I first learned about sun gazing about three years ago and have made it a part of my life ever since. ☀️
Our ancestors understood the relation between the sun and health.
From the Aztecs to the ancient Egyptians, many past societies revered sungazing as an esoteric practice for high-ranking priests and shamans.
Research shows sungazing stimulates the pineal gland as the direct sunlight hits the eye, moves through retinal-hypothalamic tract, and then hits the brain.
As the pineal gland is stimulated, this then boosts the secretion of melatonin and serotonin, our “feel-good” hormones, as well as increasing energy and vitality.
Not only can this practice boost hormone levels, but what's also incredible is that #sungazing increases the actual size of the pineal gland.
Normally, as we age, if our body is in a toxic state because we haven't fasted /detoxed, the pineal gland shrinks. However, brain scans of long-term practitioners of sungazing document on average that their pineal glands are three times as big as a normal person.
Research all of this if it's new information to you. You may be surprised to see what you find. 📑
