Sunrise Daily FAQs
1. Why
Founder, Deb Field, was dissatisfield with local and global circumstances, and how humanity was reacting/responding to them. She was experiencing information overload (negative) and was increasingly aware of the impact on herself and others. Deb made a decision to contribute to the betterment of the world by creating a vehicle for change. She has a clear purpose: to enable a fundamental global shift away from what we don’t want, to what we love.
This concept was triggered by a chat with a girlfriend who does yoga most days at sunrise with her friend. Deb wondered what would happen if we all did a daily practice and focussed on one specific vision (the world we love) at sunrise everyday (local time). This idea would not let go. So with significant experience in business, personal development, and meditation, she decided to create a powerful vehicle for global change. The concept of Sunrise Daily was shared with some of her close friend. Some deciding to come on board to bring this concept to life.
The team agrees with the need to shift the focus. Some were acutely aware how the negativity of the world was impacting their sense of well-being. We are all focussed on creating the frameworks to enable the global community to shift the focus from the darkness to the light. Deb and the team realise that we all have a role to play in the direction the world shifts. Sunrise Daily is the team’s contribution to disarm the darkness that threatens our families, friends, businesses, communities, cultures, animals, environment and humanity, and to empower the light in ourselves, others and the world.
The purpose of Sunrise Daily is to make a postive shift on a global scale. As demonstrated by studies and personal experience, we know that group focus and meditation shifts reality (see New Times article and Washington Post article). Sunrise Daily has been set up to enable a global community to shift consciousness (the quantum field) toward a better world. This is achieved through a simple daily practice at sunrise which has far reaching impacts on a global scale, as well as personal benefits. Sunrise Daily creates a perpetual global wave that circles the earth daily, generating a vision of the world we love. This amount of focus will create global change through the collective positive impact on consciousness.
2. Concept
If you search the internet you will come across a lot of blogs, videos and podcasts discussing this very important subject (Eckhart Tolles Blog). Most relate to shifting our individual reality.
Basically, what we focus on we attract and grow. For example, if you are looking to buy a certain car, you will notice them everywhere you go. They were always there, but our brains shut out what we are not focussed on. This saves it wasting time on irrelevant activity.
So if you are continually watching the news, reading articles of what is wrong with the world and listening to the doom and gloom online, your reality will be very different to those that don’t. Those that focus on the good in people, the great things in the world, have gratitude for what they have, will have a positive experience of life.
Given this premise, we can create our own reality. And if we can do this, we can impact the global reality. If we all focus on the greatness in the world, it would empower this part of life and result in a shift in consciousness.
Sunrise is a sacred time of the day. It signifies the start of a new day, a reset, new opportunities. It is very peaceful and provides the perfect back drop for Sunrise Daily.
No matter where you are or what you are doing, sunrise is a fabulous opportunity to begin life afresh. You could be lying in bed, feeding a newborn, enjoying your morning brew, meditating, doing yoga, or out in nature. Some of us live close to the beach, others enjoy the countryside. It’s the moment that’s sacred, not the spot.
We have chosen sunrise time because it enables all of us to have a consistent, predetermined, natural time to do this practice. Sunrise time is a natural time. It is not impacted by daylight savings or other man-made mechanisms.
By participating at sunrise, our community will create an intentional wave of energy following the sun. This concentrates the energy and makes it easy for anyone to join.
Although this practice is intended to be for the greater good, our community tell us they experience significant change in their lives.
These changes include:
– a sense of connection and community (part of something greater)
– a sense of purpose and contribution
– improved health and wellbeing
– improved sleep (from wanting to go to bed earlier)
– a sense of calm and being centred
– improved focus on personal priorities
– an experience of the world that is much more positive
– more tolerance
– improved relationships
– improved personal achievements
Studies have found that meditation impacts our brain and our experience of life.
3. The Daily Practice
Absolutely!
Recently, my husband and I were unwell. We set our alarms and remained in bed as we focused on the vision of the ‘world we love’. You can do this simple practice absolutely anywhere.
We live near the beach and when weather permits, we get down there about 30 mins before sunrise time, grab a coffee, and sit at a picnic table as we watch the ever changing light show of sunrise.
From May 2022 you will be able to use the Sunrise Daily App which will give your exact sunrise time for your geolocation. It will also give you options for alerts 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 mins prior to sunrise.
You can also go to the Sunrise Times to find out when your sunrise time is.
Note – it is not always the time you see the sun rising because the curvature of the earth, your altitude above sea level, and any structures (natural or man made) can all influence when you see the sun. Instead, it is the time it would rise at your precise location which is based solely on sun and earth movements. The App makes this simple.
Our circumstances in life often outside of our control. We can be in the middle of a pandemic, a way, floods, fires, family issues, health issues, problems, and everyday stress. Sometimes these circumstances demand our attention.
Sunrise Daily is the opportunity to take the power out of life’s circumstances and put it into the world we love.
If your thoughts are distracted by life’s circumstances, simply acknowledge them and refocus and imagine the world you love.
Regardless of you current circumstances, you can shift your focus to the world you love. It sounds easy, but it may be very difficult depending on what is going on for you at the time.
If you don’t do it while your life is in a bit of a mess, what would you be doing? Would you benefit from getting out of bed when things are not going ok?
Would you benefit from shifting your focus away from your troubles, even if for a little whiles?
Would you be better off if you did put some time into an activity that stilled your mind or had you imagine a world you would love?
Although it may be difficult, although your mind may wander, and although you may not be able to focus for long, the benefits will be there.
You may even discover it brings you clarity and confidence to make the changes you need to make to shift your personal reality.
It’s one thing to work on ourselves and to change our personal reality. It is another to participate in an initiative to shift global consciousness.
By each of us holding the vision of the ‘world we love’ we impact the earths magnetic and quantum field – consciousness.
We each will see different realities of the world we love. These form unique threads in the fabric of life. The diversity of our visions combine to create a collective vision.
By sharing your vision on our Sunrise Daily Facebook Group you amplify your vision by the very process of writing it and sharing it. When others read your vision, it multiplies the effect even further.
Knowing that this daily practice is self-less service for the betterment of the world as a whole, you can let go of your individual needs and be of true service to the global experience.
There is a significant body of research undestanding the impact of meditation on consciousness.
Simply put, meditation shifts reality (see NY Times article and Washington Post article) as demonstated by an experiment to reduce the crime rate in the United States. Their hypothesis was that the square root of 1% of the population could meditate and reduce the crime rate. Seventeen hundred and forty five people focussed on this outcome for 6 weeks. The data showed an 18.5% reduction in the crime rate across the United States.
Another paper by Rollin McCraty, Ph.D, and Abdullah A. Alabdulgader, M.D. – Consciousness, The Human Heart and the Global Energetic Field Environment supports the notion that individuals can effect global consciousness.
Our team is putting together tools to assist with the practice. This will include a simple guided meditation to assist you to vision ‘the world we love’ if you choose to use it.

5. Facebook Posts
The Sunrise Daily Facebook group is a private group. This means only the member of our FB group will see your posts. No one is able to share your post from this private group.
Describe your vision of “the world you love.” Share the details in all their glory.
If you like, add an image that supports or expresses the vision.
We ask that you not include any of the following in your posts:
◾ your personal experience prior, during or about the vision (keep it to the vision)
◾ Coaching, teaching, or providing guidance or therapy (use personal page for these insights)
◾ Sunrise photos without a vision (the relevance of sunrise is for timing not imagery)
◾ Description of what you don’t want or like about the world (focus posts on the world we love)
◾ Opinions about the vision (simply describe the vision for others)
HINTS AND TIPS
Think of yourself as the observer. What do you see in the world you love? Describe that vision without your personal experience of it. This enables others to have their own experience. We have found it works well when we start our posts with the words “The world I love…”
OUR WISH
Members enjoy posting their visions and reading those from others. This simple practice will magnify the global impact on consciousness, have profound personal benefits, and connects our community.
There is power in words. When you put your vision of “the world you love” into words you amplify its impact. When you share that vision online you enable others to read your vision which multiplies its effect.
If most of us can share our vision online, it will mean that FB feeds will start to carry a higher percentage of positive visions of “the world we love”. This will impact the global experience.
6. Being of Service
On our journey of life, a lot of our time is spent making life better for ourselves and those in our immediate family. Our Sunrise Daily team have spent a lot of time perusing the information available on meditation for global impact. They discovered that most meditation modalities are (rightly so) focused on individual benefits.
Sunrise Daily is an invitation to participate in a global initiative, and to do this from a place of self-less service.
To us this means, not making it about you. This includes the request to not put your opinions, suggestions or personal experiences into the visions or the Facebook Posts. Instead, (self-lessly) focus on “the world we love” and simply describe it. This takes the ego out of the practice. When it is no longer about us as individuals we honourably provide a greater service to our global community.
For example, if you were to post your opinion and some coaching advice or wisdom, it would become about ‘comments’ from readers about your advice or about your wisdom… instead of the vision that came through you. (See our FB instructions)
To do this practice without ego, for the love of the global outcome, and with a single intention to focus on “the world we love”, is the greatest demonstration of self-less service. You will be connected to something greater than yourself which is a powerful demonstration of your heart.
