Repost from @a_god_in_human_form - In cultures all over the world, the Sun has been worshipped as the giver of life; known as Ra by the Egyptians, Surya in the Vedas, Helios or Apollo in Greek mythology, and the Incan Inti, the Sun features as the earliest Gods in all the major religions of the world.

Why should a living being not be able to obtain all the energy it needs for the performance of its life functions from the environment, instead of through consumption of food, and transforming, by a complicated process, the energy of chemical combinations into life-sustaining energy?” In the modern world, this process had been popularised and renamed as the HRM phenomenon, after Hira Ratan Manek who practiced it himself and got himself examined by NASA. A large number of people have taken initiative to rejuvenate these ideas by trials and errors to prove their effectiveness to the world, creating for them believable foundations by providing scientifically evaluated results. The following are the scientific benefits of sun-gazing:
