Love this! Thank you so much. I sun gazed for 2 years and got up to 45 min a day at sunrise several years ago. The experiences I had are tremendous and hard to believe!

But I do have evidence… I took pictures after meditating in a new space when I began and a week or two after in a few occasions. There would be completely remarkable new green growth- grass, plants etc around where I stood particularly in front of me fanning out from the direction I was gazing! How are there not studies on this lol?
