Sunbathing—also known as sunbathing—is an ancient practice that involves consciously exposing oneself to sunlight, allowing its rays to activate biological processes essential for overall health.
The sun is a natural source of vitamin D, essential for hormonal, emotional, and immune balance. This vitamin promotes the production of serotonin (the happiness hormone), the neurotransmitter of well-being, which regulates mood, prevents emotional fatigue, and can help with seasonal depression. It also strengthens the immune system, supports calcium absorption, and maintains bone health.
Beyond the physical, the sun is living energy. Its light regulates our circadian rhythms, improves sleep quality, stimulates the pineal gland, and has a direct impact on mental clarity, emotional state, and spiritual connection. Receiving its light with presence, without fear or excess, is a way to care for our bodies and tune into our vital energy.
In a society that spends much of its time indoors, in front of screens and artificial lights, regaining contact with natural light is an act of reconnection. Walking outdoors, cycling, visiting a river, or simply spending a few minutes in the morning sun while enjoying a quiet moment can make a profound difference in daily well-being. Even indoors, allowing sunlight in by opening windows or curtains is a way to invite that energy into our day.
The sun itself doesn’t harm. When the body is overloaded with toxins or unconscious habits, the skin can react more sensitively. But in a cleaner and more balanced body, sunlight doesn’t burn; it nourishes.
Exposure at mild times, such as morning or evening, without chemical sunscreens, allows the skin to breathe and receive the benefits of the sun. If protection is needed, there are natural and healthy alternatives that don’t interfere with our biology or pollute our bodies.
Recovering our relationship with the sun also means recovering our relationship with life.
Return to yourself. Return to your nature. 🌱
