Hello everyone!

Rejoice for Spring is here – at last. How good it feels to expose ever more parts of my body after several months of thermals, layers and woollens. Wherever you are listening to this in the world (and there are a lot of you all over the place now!) I wish you a bright and grounded day, may we all give thanks for the warmth and light of our Sun as it reaches us. I have such a deep reverence for this great celestial being in the sky, I can totally understand the rampant deification of it by ancient cultures and indeed today, there is much one can do to work with the energy of the Sun and the information it holds.

One of my favourite practices over my years of self-exploration is the Aztec art of Sungazing… and no, I'm not blind, if anything my eyesight is sharper than ever. Personally, I have found the effects to range from clarity of mind, an increase in energy and a sense of heartfelt joy depending on the strength of your practice. I realise this can be a contentious topic so I shall say no more for now, but if you are interested in finding out more then Vinny's site is exhaustive and a veritable goldmine of information. I should point out by way of a disclaimer that I am in no way encouraging anyone to try this themselves, any personal experimentation you undertake should be with full responsibility for your own body. Do your research and please be careful folks.

It's interesting to me that both extremes, of taking in light and of the absolute restriction of light, can both invoke deeply mystical experiences. Possible areas for the Parapsychologists out there to explore?
