I met one who did. He called it ‘sungazing’ and was certain that the practice charged him with positive healing energy. He figured it was safe because he did it near sunrise and sunset. He was trying to look a little longer each time and build his endurance and get more sun energy. I haven’t seen him in a few years so I can’t update on outcomes.

YouTube is one hell of a drug. I hope he has moved onto less harmful beliefs.
