I am not a professional instructor, and I take no responsibility if something should ever happen to you during your Sun Gazing experiences. Remember, staring at the sun is NOT recommended. It can severely hurt your eyes, or even in the worst scenario, blind you, so be sure you know what you are doing at all times and be safe. With that being said, let's move on. My research led me to the "best" method of Sun Gazing, and it seems to be the most talked about. You must Sun Gaze during safe hours. Safe hours are approximately one hour after sunrise, or one hour before sunset. These are the safest times to do it, as you are free from the UV and IR rays that are harmful to your eyes.

Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death by Irvin D. Yalcom is a raw and unfiltered look at one of the most difficult challenges everyone faces, death. He takes you through the real-life experiences of his patients, past and present, and shares his thoughts about death. The real-life examples have a way of grasping your attention and pulling you in. He assists his patients in recognizing the reality of death, but not fearing it. Yalcom suggests that people have varying degrees of death anxiety. For some, death is not even a thought, while for others it may consume their thoughts. He also suggests that our everyday anxieties may ultimately originate from our fear of death. He includes observations of approaches used by famous philosophers. While reading, you cannot help but to contemplate your own life and envision your death.

I squint my eyes against the bright sun. It glares in my eyes refusing to allow any clouds, if there were any, to give me shade. Well I do not think the sun is worried about me, but maybe it would if only I could find something. Anything. I dig for artifacts, for bones, like I said for anything of value.
