Healing Power of the Sun
Heat and
Healing Effect:
Heat drives all
cosmic phenomenon as well as the physiological processes in the body. In
this universe there are two types of reactions - endothermic and
exothermic reactions. In living beings, all the processes are driven
by the interplay of enzymes which involve either absorption or release of
heat energy. The heat released during enzymatic reactions is needed to
keep the body at a particular temperature that contributes to the optimal
performance of all chemical reactions in the body.
The significance of the heat given out is still not completely understood
scientifically. But ancient masters have understood and had advocated
a lifestyle to derive heat by all the cells of the body. This heat has significant healing
properties,
because it connects all the cells.
Sun, the
Power-House:
All the heat that we experience in our body and in nature comes from the
burning energy of the Sun. Sun is the giver, the most benevolent in
nature. Hence, the Sun is given prominence in India. It is good to do
salutations to the Sun every morning to get intellectual strength and
power for physical health. Hence the color of the Sun's rays is used as the dress code (the
color of flame - saffron color) of enlightened people who are the symbols
of highest intellect and wisdom.
Sun and Plants:
It is interesting to know at this point that plants synthesize glucose
from water and carbon-dioxide in the presence of sunlight. This
glucose then undergoes modifications to form carbohydrates, proteins
and fats. In the presence of sunlight, an electron gets excited and
this excited electron is what gets trapped in hydrogen atoms; which then
combines with carbon-dioxide to form glucose. The plant
molecule of chlorophyll that lost the electron fills this hole by breaking
a water
molecule and taking the electron. In this process the oxygen from
the water is released as oxygen which then we use for our respiration.
This is how plants release oxygen. This is also why we must grow
more plants and trees to supply us oxygen to breathe. This also helps
us to understand the importance of water because ultimately it is the water
and energy of the sun that drives the food production in plants.
