Besides proper breathing, the right environment is a major requirement for meditation. In order to stimulate and relax the brain, the area should be quiet with no distractions. An experienced person can have soft music playing in the background but as a starter, it is best to have a quiet and peaceful environment.

Sunset is a wonderful time to linger over the moments of the day that were great and prepare to embrace the darkness and softness of the night.

The physical benefits of sunset meditation

According to scientists, exposure to light triggers the release of serotonin, a hormone that is associated with mood boosting as well as helping one feel more focused and calm. Also, it triggers the brain to release another hormone known as melatonin that controls your daily sleep and wake cycle. Exposure to sunlight influences how much melatonin is made in the pineal gland every day.

Typically, the levels of melatonin begin to rise in the evening during sunset, they stay high throughout the night and then drop towards morning as the sun rises making you to wake up.

Without sufficient exposure to sunlight, the levels of serotonin can go low which is associated with high risk of SAD (Seasonal affective disorder), a form of depression triggered by changing seasons.

Spiritual benefits of sunset meditation and relaxation

Beyond the physical benefits of sunlight are spiritual benefits. In the teachings of esoteric mystery school, the sun manifests the spiritual sun that dwells within us and the best way to connect with our spiritual self is by meditating in the sun. The teachings instructs drinking the living light then imagining it flowing through the body organs to purify, strengthen and vivify them.
