Sungazing: MY $0 biohack To Steal 20 Years Back

Blog Post “Sungazing”

Intro
I’m 42, been smashing asphalt since 18, and traffic’s got me caged 3 hours a day. My body’s beat—stressed, wired, always starving. The biohacking pros—Gary Brecka, Tony Robbins, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dave Asprey, Bryan Johnson—they’ve got deep pockets and tech. I’ve got the sun and a wild trick from Hira Ratan Manek (HRM). Hit 25 minutes years ago, felt unreal, now I’m back at 2 minutes. Here’s why it’s my start—and how to do it right.

Why Sungazing?
HRM says safe sun-staring charges you like a plant—less food, more life. He claims NASA tracked him living off rays for a year. I’m not dropping food—plant-based’s my jam—but I’ve felt it cut my hunger. Last round, anxiety vanished, my eyes felt tougher, and I was lit, not drained. Morning sun’s a healer; evening’s solid if you’re stuck. Less eating, more calm, meditation boost—sounds like 20 years back to me. No surgery, no cash, just this.

What I Felt
At 25 minutes back then: anxiety melted—traffic didn’t own me. Eyes stung early, then got stronger—not sharper, just… tougher, hard to explain. Appetite shrank—half a plate, fully charged, no bloat. Morning sun hit different—energy surged, like it fixed something. HRM says it grows your pineal gland—dunno, but meditation after 5 minutes in the dark? Wild as hell, Dispenza-style. Others swear it fixed their vision—cool, but I’m no glasses guy to test that.

How to Sungaze: HRM’s Way, Step-by-Step
This ain’t playtime—mess it up, your eyes pay. Here’s the full breakdown, no digging required:

• When: First hour after sunrise or last hour before sunset—safest light, UV index 2 or lower (weather app it). Morning’s gold—catch it right as the sun breaks the horizon, or it’s too bright fast. Evening? Wait till it’s damn near gone—late as hell. Solstice screws the timing—sunrise/sunset shift daily, winter to summer. Check it every day.
• Start: Newbies, 10 seconds max—eyes can’t take more fresh. I’m at 2 minutes ‘cause I’ve got miles on this.
• Build: Add 10 seconds each gaze. Day 2’s 20, Day 3’s 30, up to 45 minutes—270 days of grit. Slow, like squatting your way to a PR.
• How: Barefoot’s best—grounding’s a bonus (more on that later). Soft-focus the sun’s edge, not dead-on. No glasses or contacts—raw eyes only. Blink if it bites, but lean in. Morning’s easier early; evening’s brutal if you miss the tail.
• After: At 5 minutes, go dark—shut your eyes in a dim room, meditate as long as you want. I’ve gazed and meditated too—nuts either way.
• Safety: Too strong? Wait it out—sun’s lower later. Clouds? Skip it. Eyes scream? Stop, reset. Start at the edge of light, or it’ll kick your ass harder as you climb.
• Goal: 45 minutes daily—HRM’s peak, then hold. I’m years off, but 25 was fire already.

My Theory: Why It’s a Game-Changer
Food’s sun juice, secondhand—plants trap it, we eat it. We photosynthesize a bit (vitamin D proves it). Sungazing’s straight-up—less food, more light. I ate less, felt full, not starved—aging slows when you’re not weighed down. Meditation boost screams longevity—Dispenza’d nod. HRM’s got big claims—no food, perfect eyes. I’m not sold, but if it cuts my grind and adds years, I’m in.

Day 1: Restart
2 minutes this morning—eyes prickled, but that buzz is back. Less on edge already. Morning sun’s my pick—get up early if you can, or evening’s your fallback. Fasting’s next—Tony Robbins hustle, no fluff. Farm food’s Arizona-bound, but sun’s my now. Follow this—I’m biohacking out of asphalt, ray by ray.
