After 6 years of sungazing, I'm still learning and relearning this amazing surya vidya or solar science. Actually it's more of a solar/earth science. This morning as I took my predawn walk and sungazing. I rediscovered two important principles.

I had already known that the ancient sun worshippers would sungaze on the peaks of mountains and pyramids and that Hindus today sungaze in rivers like the Ganges when the perform their Surya Namaskar ritual. These are the energy vortices and ley lines of the Earth's energy grid, which is connected at these points to the sun's energy grid. The flow of prana begins 20 minutes before sunrise and peaks right at sunrise at these vortices and lines. Peaks of mountains are like transformer stations and rivers, streams and canals are like 50,000-volt transmission lines.

So, I've been wondering for days about how to find a ley line to walk on during my morning walks without having to go through the neighborhood with a dowsing rod. Then last night I realized that there is an ancient canal system that runs throughout Phoenix that was constructed by the sun-worshipping Hohokam Indians. They, like other ancient people must have known about the Earth grid and would have constructed their canals along ley lines so that their irrigation water would be charged with prana. One of these canals runs not far from my house. So this morning I walked along it to an open field with a perfect view of the sunrise.

While I was sungazing, I meditated on what the best mantra is to recite that would help establish a connection with the sun. The mantra RAMA popped into my head because I had written about using it while barefoot walking in an article I wrote in the Sun Gazette. As I silently chanted RAMA, I raised my left hand to the sun and pointed my right palm to the earth. I then felt a surge of energy, like an electric current flowing through me, that made my spine straighten like a rod and actually popped some vertebrae in my neck as if I were getting a chiropractic adjustment. As I recited RA, I connected to the sun; as I recited MA, I connected to the sun of even pressure in the center of the Earth. I became a nexus in the flow of energy between these two suns. It was electrifying to say the least. I discontinued it after a few minutes, feeling that this, like any advanced sungazing technique, should be introduced gradually.

Wayne, I am just catching up with your'How to plug in ' post. That is really great! What a jump forward. I can only imagine how how that would feel to be connected like that. What an insight that was to look for tha ancient canal line. Where did you look for that info?

Constance,

Google "Earth grid" +"ley lines" +vortices and you will find web sites that have maps of grid lines. You can also use Google Earth to zoom in on your area to look for ley lines. They show up as straight lines of vegetation. Mountains that are held sacred by native Americans are key vortices of the grid. Also, churches and temples are usually built over vortices. Some major vortices, such as the one over Hawaii, are congruent with etheric retreats. The best book on this subject is "Anti-gravity and the World Grid" by David Hatcher Childress.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Wayne! When I read your post about chanting RAMA I immediately sat up straight
and felt the electric light-energy flowing through my spine! Wow - I would like to know where ley lines are in my area also. I choose to understand why you stopped chanting RAMA - was the energy too great?

Wayne,

Thanks for the very insightful observations. I live next to a wide river and often sit or walk along the banks gazing at the sun sparkling on the water. I will see if I can obtain similar results, and thanks again for sharing your wisdom.

Wayne,

I believe you have tapped into a rich vein of ancient wisdom with surya vidya.

Last evening, while strolling along the river bank just before sunset , my attention wsa drawn upward to the sky, where a beautiful bald eagle was gliding majestically high in the air above the river to the east. To the west, an awesome array of sylphs, bathed in the golden pink glow of the setting sun. My wife drew my attention to a group of hundreds of seagulls lining a horseshoe shaped bay and pointed out that they were all looking in the same direction, right at the setting sun. An army of the element of air were present, all gazing with adoration at the presence of the setting sun! It reminded me of the scene in the movie City of Angels, where all the angels were lined up along the beach, facing the direction of the soon to be rising sun. I would highly recommend surya vidya as an adjunct to communion with elemental life and would look forward to hearing any insights or recommendations from anyone who has found ways to incorporate it into their spiritual practice.
