An indigenous minority, an ancient people that's still alive in the Northern countries of Europe - the Sámpi. They still live partly from reindeer herding and are living the life of nomads. Their ancient sun goddess is Beaivi or Beiwe, the goddess of fertility, spring and sanity! Mental health is an issue in the dark North. Not having sunlight makes people go crazy, depressed, weary of life. So it's only logical that consciously having more sunlight makes people go well. Maybe more alert, more awake, more present, more intelligent. For sure it makes you happier. This is why the Sámpi worshipped the Sud Goddess. In summer they would smear butter on their doorstep, so that the sun when she passes by has something to eat to be able to continue her journey. And of course she eats it. It melts, doesn't it? A technical advice as a P.S.: I blink when I am gazing at the sun. I don't recommend you to stare at it without blinking. Although there are some schools favoring that. But I think it just tenses up your eye muscles and it feels unnatural and therefore unhealthy. As well, your eyes then might start to water - and water breaks light. So having that in front of your pupils where the sun is entering can be damaging!
