Again...I was counting the seconds, didn't have a timer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I had the most amazing experience with the Sun! First a dream, and then and out of body experience...going to the sun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up at  7, wrote down what I remembered of dreams ...mostly nonsense. Then went back to  sleep.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&amp;nbsp;dreamt that I was in a temple like place, and saw the sun setting. It was  huge and yellow...not red. It had its reflection showing below...so I  wondered&amp;nbsp;if there was water there. Then I called my parents and brother and SIL  who were with me too in the dream. I asked them to come and see the sun. When we  were all looking, the bells in the temple started ringing. It was a beautiful,  amazing, divine feeling. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then, everyone disappeared. And I woke up in my dream, got lucid....and  then woke up enough to know I was in bed, hubby was in the bathroom...kiddo sleeping next to me. And you know how it is, just before or  after an out of body experience....when even with closed eyes one can see perfectly clearly, as if  the eyes are open? So I was in that state. But this time, instead of seeing my  bedroom with my closed eyes, I saw the rising sun! Rising over the ocean. I was  overjoyed to see the sun again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have felt very  special feelings for the sun, from the time I was a child. I see "God" in the  sun. I used to have OBE's before when I would be face to face with the sun. Or when I would meditate, especially on "OM", I would see the sun rising. But this stopped...and I had not seen the Sun in this way for a long time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So seeing the sun appear to me again after soooooo many days was awesome  for me. When I was saw  this, I thought of drawing the sun closer to me. At this thought, I went out of body, the sun drew  closer and&amp;nbsp;closer to me at top speed! I finally got scared thinking what will  happen if I got too close? And with that thought, the sun stopped right there in  its tracks. I love the sun soooo much....as a living conscious  Being it is! It was so close that I could see the solar flares. I closed my eyes  because of brightness, and also because of&amp;nbsp;feelings of sacredness, devotion. And  through my closed eyelids, the beautiful golden yellow radiation of the sun came  through, filling me up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After that, I was fully in my body and clicked in. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5696116508009712755-7300429453857246056?l=takung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takung.blogspot.com/feeds/7300429453857246056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5696116508009712755&amp;postID=7300429453857246056' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5696116508009712755/posts/default/7300429453857246056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5696116508009712755/posts/default/7300429453857246056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takung.blogspot.com/2010/03/day-2-of-sun-gazing-3232010.html' title='Day 2 of sun gazing: 3/23/2010'/><author><name>Swati</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02875924616598270123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VEW1cYO_4eY/SYNcdcKtyKI/AAAAAAAAA-A/XfzZW0MjFnI/S220/PrayerBoxPendantSmallDSCF0241.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5696116508009712755.post-1363588665682533181</id><published>2010-03-22T19:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T19:31:33.283-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='day 1 sun gazing'/><title type='text'>Day 1 of sun gazing</title><content type='html'>I started today, now that Mr. Sun has decided to be a "regular".

Just happy that I started :-).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I had a beautiful experience in the gym while on the treadmill, and while listening to the most "unholy" songs. LOL! I felt like focusing within...in the heart area, and feeling/seeing a bright white light there. Just focusing there for a while gave me a beautiful high feeling that lasted for a long time.

The Gayatri Mantra is dedicated to Gayatri Devi and the Sun....basically to the light that is God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I also started a Buddhist chant called "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo". To read more about this chant, go to http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/staff/srharris/nmhrk/home.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will also be doing the "Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare" chant.

"First Post". This &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; the first post after all. I am planning to do sun gazing, HRM style. I love the sun. It makes me think of God. In fact when I imagine God, I imagine God to look like the Sun. It represents all things Divine, all things beautiful to me. As long as the sun shines I feel no fear. But when it sets, I feel sad, and not so fearless anymore. There is something so reassuring about sunlight, I often call the Sun "Dad". The sun seems to give me the feelings of being protected that a dad does to his child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been reading about the benefits of sun gazing. Physical and emotional healing...receiving answers to your spiritual questions etc. Those are some of the reasons I wish to do this. But most of all, I just want to spend some one on one time with God. And the sun represents God for me. Often when I am down, all I need to do is glance at the sun and ask him to be with me, and I feel better. Sometimes I just talk to the Sun when I have questions about anything in life, and I do receive beautiful answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this blog is about sun gazing, but not only that...it is sort of like a journal to me, in my path of following my own inner guidance instead of asking other people for answers. My path of trusting myself, instead of placing trust in every other person who wishes to preach. And the Sun is an integral part of me...who else to take this journey with?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5696116508009712755-7956490652252962285?l=takung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://takung.blogspot.com/feeds/7956490652252962285/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5696116508009712755&amp;postID=7956490652252962285' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5696116508009712755/posts/default/7956490652252962285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5696116508009712755/posts/default/7956490652252962285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://takung.blogspot.com/2009/12/first-post.html' title='First Post'/><author><name>Swati</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02875924616598270123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VEW1cYO_4eY/SYNcdcKtyKI/AAAAAAAAA-A/XfzZW0MjFnI/S220/PrayerBoxPendantSmallDSCF0241.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
