Under the Weather

Solar Flare and Space Weather impacting our health.

The recent solar flares are having health impact on us, making many of us anxious and stressed out.  Our natural intuitiveness is picking up on the disturbance and even those who are not normally tuned into their bodies are reporting sleep issues, headaches and feeling that something bad is going to happen.  Know it is part of the weather stress and if you go out to see Nasa's reports at SpaceWeather.com you will see how volatile our sun is right now as it goes through its peak of its 11 year cycle.  That added on to our solar eclipse and the Venus, Jupiter and Mercury coming into alignment we have a huge amount of space pressures on our planet playing on our nerves.

Know from a health perspective; everyone is feeling some of it and the best thing you can do is to relax, take a sea or Epsom salt bath or ground yourself (some call earthing) to get rid of the excess energy.  This can help with the excess ionic charge that is happening due to the weather changes.  Of course if you can take a vacation by the shore you will also gain some benefit from that climate.

To ground yourself just walk barefooted in grass which is not loaded with pesticide for 15 minutes.  Be in an open field where there are no power lines.  Know if you have a huge electrical load stored in your body,  you may feel like a panic attack occurring as the energies are equalizing.  This is natural and will subside in a few minutes, breathe through it and if you need to sing a happy song to distract yourself from what is happening.  I never get panic attacks but I did my first grounding and it was a bit disturbing. If it is too much, break contact with the ground and try a little at a time until you no longer feel the waves of energy exchange.
