Sun Gazing - My Experience

Dates and facts
I began as recommended by HRM, 10 seconds, within the safe, UV-free hour of sunrise, on June 2nd 2009.

The experience
Today is only the second day and I'm on 20 seconds.
Yesterday, felt an energy surge... a bit uneasy, in the pit of my stomach, in the solar plexus and in the heart region. My eyes felt a little warm. These days, I am driving the car in the window time, when I'm not meditating (a pre-fixed appointment). So I stop at a spot where I can see the sun clearly, and there is a mud and stone ground, where I can stand barefeet. Today, drank water before and after the sun-gazing. After 10 secs (I'm mentally counting 1001, 1002...), the sun became a shimmering, dull circle. So much so, I double checked after I was done to make sure it wasn't covered by clouds after I began. It wasn't. I closed my eyes after the gazing this time, and saw a green ball between my eyes, which turned yellow, and then it faded out after a while. No physical discomfort today.

My state of health
Just now I am underweight, have low stamina and energy levels, have a sharp shoulder pain radiating into my right arm that's not answering to self-administered Reiki or Quantum healing, or positive suggestions. I am recovering from a persistent UTI, have a back pain, which seems to be a result of persistant leucorrhea. I am myopic with 1.25 dioptres in both eyes. I have a sciatic problem that acts up now and then.

Note: The back pain and leucorrhea suddenly showed up yesterday (after several months). Yesterday was my first day of sun gazing.

Day 3, 30 seconds
Change of location. Couldn't find a large expanse of sky, and gazed at sun between a tree and edge of roof. When I closed my eyes, the image was a blue irregular ball within a green splash. The blue ball turned green, different shades of yellow, then grew small, and became a light pink.

After I opened my eyes I continued seeing a yellow spot wherever I looked for a little while. I got a dull headache (I'd washed my hair just before gazing... and going out in the sun after a head bath has always given me a headache), and felt somewhat nauseated, which went after half hour, and felt some surges in my stomach. After a while I noticed that my sharp back pain had reduced. The leucorrhea hasn't occured today (but I also took my own herb-based medication for it later). I've been feeling cheerful and upbeat generally. But I've also been going to Ma Sahiba's dargah, where I feel a special connect.... usually I am anti going to places of worship, etc.

I'm still counting... haven't yet found a stop watch with a timer.

POST SCRIPT: The rest of the sun journalling is on another blog - www.solargazerschronicle.com I reckoned a nine-month (or more) account deserves a blog of its own.
