2009 dates of equinox and solstice sunrise meditations 3/20 * 6/21 * 9/22 * 12/21

Looking directly at the sun has the potential to damage your eyes. It is recommended that if you do sungaze with us on the equinox and solstices to do so only for the first 10 minutes of the sunrise and last 10 minutes of the sunset. Sungazing we feel intensifies the meditation and gives an extra boost of energy to the mind, body and spirit if done in moderation. We have been doing these meditations for a few years and find also that if you look just below the sun on the horizon it is easier to hold your gaze. Holding the gaze for longer than 10 minutes increases your chances of eye damage. As anything in life, start small and build up to what you feel best meets your needs.
