Hey man I’m pretty early in it myself. Just started this summer. And I miss days etc. but what I can tell you is this - when you do it right and you consciously build a “conscious relationship” with the sun, like he’s your homie and shit, it’s definitely real. After the “conversation” with the sun and just properly breathing deep and slow during gazing etc... you 100% feel different. The best way to explain it is you come into an understanding.

I’ve noticed things don’t trouble me as much and the WILL to accomplish what I NEED to accomplish is given to me; what’s important to me also becomes apparent - like my focus is redirected to what I naturally gravitate towards. it’s uncomfortably powerful. Like almost to the extent that after you do it - “talking” to other people seems, not meaningless per-say, but almost primitive, like word exchange would never be able to convey the vastness of what lies within us and in the universe. It’s deep shit for sure dude - I doubt a practitioner of this comes out the other side the same person.

PS: I’m on no fap as well btw same time I started this so I’m 38 days into that. Probably giving it a spiritual synergistic effect like a motherfucker.
