STATISTIC ANALYSIS

This study is based on data collected from 39 persons who are practicing sun gazing (SG), 29 of them (74%) being males. Their average age is 45 years, 36 of them (92%) are doing SG while standing barefoot on bare earth and 96% of the subjects are doing SG during the 1 hour after sunrise/before sunset. 

The brain/head/mind, the eyes and the solar plexus/digestive system appeared to be particularly energized by SG. 

32 persons (82%) reported better mood
30 persons (77%) reported increased energy level
29 persons (74%) reported greater control of emotions
28 persons (72%) reported increased mental power
27 persons (69%) reported improved health
27 persons (69%) reported increased physical strength
22 persons (56%) noticed increased interest from the opposite sex
22 persons (56%) reported reduced sleeping time
21 persons (54%) reported decreased hunger
20 persons (51%) reported improved eyesight.

The results were found to be correlated with 3 parameters: the number of months of SG, the number of minutes of SG and the latitude.

The number of months of SG was found to be correlated with: health,  mood, mental power, control of emotions, level of energy.
The improvement of the above parameters is obvious starting from the fifth month of SG, the improvement of mood being 100% certain at this stage.

The number of minutes of SG per day was found to be correlated with: physical strength, mood, control of emotions, mental power, sleeping time .
The physical strength, mood, control of emotions and  mental power are markedly improved starting with 15 minutes of SG. The improvement of mood and control of emotions is 100% certain at this stage.
The sleeping time is significantly reduced starting with 21minutes of SG per day.

The latitude was found to influence the number of days of SG per week, the level of energy, health, physical strength, mental power and the perceived interest from the opposite sex.

The reduced number of SG days/week at latitudes above 39 degrees might be explained by the increased number of cloudy days in northern areas. This fact together with the lower intensity of the sunlight at northern latitudes are affecting the level of energy, health, physical strength, mental power and the perceived interest from the opposite sex, of people living at latitudes above 37-39 degrees.
