Solar Healing

Hira Ratan Manek, 85, the man who survived on solar energy for years, had converted his body into a laboratory to successfully prove to the world that human beings could lead a healthy life consuming only water and using the energy from the sun.

The method, which came to be known as ‘HRM phenomenon’ later, involves gazing at the sun through naked eyes within one hour of sunrise or one hour before sunset. Though it was tough initially, Mr. Manek proved that one could gaze at the sun directly for half an hour if practised for seven months continuously. By the ninth month, the body will become a reservoir of solar energy and can survive without food, he contended.

He claimed that his method could cure all psychosomatic, mental, and physical illnesses and increase memory power and mental strength. He called the human body a super computer, ‘the Brainutor’. His solar healing technique is all about activating the human brain and awakening its infinite powers.

However, Sun gazing can also be done comfortably sitting in your room in silence with eyes closed. The energy of the Sun is already in the Universe and could be taken in with a pure intent. I’ve been gazing the physical Sun and also doing the meditation by taking in the subtle energies of this Fire ball.
