Spectacular images in Sant Fost de Campsentelles for the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia that indicate something. There is a popular proverb that says: "Shot at dusk, water at dawn"... But no, not even sayings are valid anymore! April and we continue without rain.
We resign ourselves to enjoying contemplating these beautiful Sun Gazing sunsets that bring us peace and serenity.
The sun gazing technique has been known to many ancient cultures for centuries and has become a true "medicine" for those who suffer from seasonal changes and anxiety.
This simple and accessible activity is beneficial for both physical and mental health, and does not require a specific dosage.
All you need is to find a privileged place to fully enjoy the light that comes and goes.
Sun gazing has proven effective in helping people connect with nature and the world in general, providing a sense of peace and serenity.
It can also be a great way to relax mental tensions and regenerate the mind, which can improve sleep quality and memory. In addition, it is an opportunity to spend time with "ourselves" and talk to our deepest "I".
One of the greatest benefits of contemplating the sun is its ability to create a context of "imaginary loneliness", which helps drive away negative thoughts.
By concentrating on your breath and the sunlight, it is possible to find a sense of calm and disconnect from daily problems.
Finally, contemplation of the sun can also regulate metabolism thanks to the energy transmitted by the sun when it rises and when it sets.
If practiced daily for a long time, Sun Gazing can have incredible health effects, even in the short term.
Although the technique of contemplating the sun has been popularized as Sun Gazing, it is important to note that looking directly at the sun without proper protection is not recommended.
Instead, you can choose to look at the horizon in the last hour before sunset or one hour after sunrise.
So, do you dare to practice it?
