Sun is always been the center point of worshiping in many cultures and communities either in one or another form. Apart from its being the biggest source of natural light, Sun has many therapeutic and spiritual importance. And that could be the reason why our ancestors always put it forth most important to bask in morning sun rays.

                Scientifically, it is now proved that pure bright light from sun stimulate serotonin hormone secretion which is responsible for boosting one’s positive mood. Good serotonin hormone secretion helps a person to feel calm and focused. If serotonin level is dropped out below normal level, then person may feel depressed due to lack of mental and physical energy. This scientific can commonly be experienced by many of us during winter, rainy or cloudy seasons, when we suffer with low mood and lack of energy. In medical terms this is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). A very general cure for SAD is to use a bright light box for several minutes. And this is the reason why we feel more comfortable and calm we light our rooms during such seasons. Therefore, people with depression with seasonal pattern are advised to go for light therapy, popularly known as ‘Photo-therapy’.             

                        Apart from physical and mental health, Sun has very auspicious place in spirituality. Sun has been religiously worshiped in all ancient civilizations from Greece to Babylon, India, China, Africa Rome, South America, Europe, Mexico and many more. Irrespective to the differences in traditions and rituals styles of worshiping they all have accepted Sun as a center point of Supreme Being or Supreme Energy. And so, there are number of traditional spiritual practices of channelizing and utilizing the Sun rays in physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony for better heath and growth. Sun Meditation is the easiest Practice among these.

Number of people and schools have developed their own protocol for practicing Sun Meditation and so people have number of options to practice this Sun Meditation. What is the best for you can be discovered only by you. Personally, I feel the practice technique which is easy, comfortable and adoptable for you, is the best for you, for that time. As you begin to step up in this amazing practice, you will slowly experience and discover another beautiful technique to practice Sun Meditation. And so, all practices are good at their own.  Its just matter of our understanding and experience!
