I just started to get into this a couple of weeks ago. It has to do with harnesing the energy from the sun in a nine month process. Either at sunrise or sunset (when the intensity of the sun is at its minimum) stand on the earth and stare directly at the sun for 10 seconds. Adding an additional 10 seconds to the total sungazing time each consecutive day. In 6 months your hungers would be under control and understood. Stand there for 10 months you would never need food again. Not only that, but, you would not have to stare at the sun again. After 44 minutes of sungazing one would be 'full', energized, just like a solar charged battery. There was no need to continue the practice. Essentially, HRM preached to the world that within one year, anyone could learn to live without the need for food. It also has the ability to make you less irritable and become happier as a person. If your interested in learning more, here are a couple of websites that you can go to.

Links to any *scientific* sites that back this up? You know, using the scientific method and objective analysis.

HRM is one of the main practicers of Sungazing. In one of his fasts, he fasted for 411 days. During this time there were doctors and neurologist that studied him. Here is a link to the scientific side of this.

you know, i hate to burst your bubble but these guys keep getting caught eating. photographed in cafes and whatnot. it was so often that people stopped caring about it.

but plants make energy from the sun with chlorophyl. humans do not have any. at all. none. if we did we would be green. and we are not green.

If the sun starts at 0 degrees, it moves at a rate of (roughly) 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees in 24 hours, or 180 degrees in 12 hours)

So, in 44 minutes it would travel 11 degrees, meaning it would've risen completely (I'm pretty sure the sun isn't more than 2-3 degrees "big") and be bright enough to blind you if you stare at it for 44 minutes.

Whether or not it reenergizes you is a different matter all together, but the point is, I'd like to keep my vision, thank you very much.

Still, I'm gonna go have a look at what those websites have to say... but generally I find my common sense is always right

oh... 44 minutes of gazing in total eh? Well then, it might be fun

P.S. even kids know that we use all of our brains. (http://tinyurl.com/ozii)
