How Solar Flares & Geomagnetic Storms Affect Us
|
As humans, we can be greatly affected by certain space weather activity, such as solar flares and electromagnetic storms on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level.
Read below about such phenomenon and the various associated symptoms you may experience. What are Solar Flares?Solar flares are bursts of intense energy and radiation emitted from the sun's surface. They occur when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. It emits a wide range of energy, with an energy release equivalent to about 160 billion megatons of TNT, which is enormous. This release sends out a blast of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, including X-rays and ultraviolet light.

These flares can sometimes be accompanied by what's called a coronal mass ejection (CME). During a flare, clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms are ejected from the Sun's corona into space. These clouds usually take a day or two to reach Earth after the flare event.
Solar flares can impact Earth's atmosphere and can affect things like radio communications, satellite operations, and even power grids. They're like powerful bursts of energy from the sun that can sometimes cause disruptions in our technology here on Earth.

How do Solar Flares Affect Us?
Solar flares are a space weather phenomenon that can greatly impact our human bodies and lives, biologically affect us, and consequently affect our ability to cope.
They can influence our brain activity and sense of equilibrium, central nervous system, psycho-physiological and emotional self as well as behavioral tendencies.
On a higher consciousness level they serve to transform us on a cellular level, and they can tear apart old patterns and influence us to make changes in our life, even if it is from a more sub-conscious level. This internal shifting might bring fears up to the surface.
Here are some common, specific symptoms people might experience during a period of solar storm activity:

Here are some common, specific symptoms people might experience during a period of solar storm activity:
- headaches or migraines, the feeling of pressure in your head
- feeling 'off,' agitated, uneasy or out of kilter
- lethargy, exhaustion
- nausea, queeziness
- heart fluttering, racing or palpitations
- hyper-tension (high blood pressure)
- hot flashes
- high-pitched ringing of the ears
- dizziness, the jitters or vertigo
- visual disturbance
- feeling confused, bewildered, unclear, foggy-headed or sporadic short-term memory loss or forgetfulness
- issues with sleep such as interrupted sleep, waking up too early or late, not feeling like you had enough
- vivid or stressful dreams
- feeling stressed
- anxiety & worrying
- irritable mood
- depression, sadness, grief, despair
- increased sensitivity
- general overwhelm or feeling like you just can't cope
- the feeling of losing track of time, or "Where did my day go?"
- you might also notice technological & tele-communication disturbances, such as computers going haywire
(Please always see a doctor if you are concerned about any symptoms which could have other medical causes/repurcussions.)
What are Geomagnetic Storms?
Geomagnetic storms are like temporary disruptions in the Earth's magnetic field caused by strong gusts of solar wind or bursts of magnetic energy from the Sun.
When the solar wind, which is made up of charged particles, hits the Earth's magnetic field, it can cause the magnetosphere (the area around Earth controlled by its magnetic field) to shrink or expand. This interaction transfers extra energy into the magnetosphere, making particles move faster through it and creating more electric currents in the magnetosphere and ionosphere (the upper atmosphere).
These storms can sometimes lead to beautiful auroras in the sky, but they can also affect things like satellite communications and power grids.

How do Geomagnetic Storms Affect Us?
Geo-magnetic storms are highly transformational. They might be happening and you are not even aware of it and how it is influencing your daily life.
Like solar flares, it is said by some that geo-magnetic storms actually help us receive energetic 'downloads' and ascend as we move from our physical body to our 'lightbody' (a higher energetic and spiritual state. moving closer to the higher dimensions).
They offer us 'upgrades' and assist in the transmutation and changing of our DNA. This is a process, not something that happens overnight.
Here is a list of symptoms associated with the phenomenon. During a storm, you can expect any of the following:

There are some things you can do to get you through such periods of intense and heightened solar / space activity (they are also helpful when you are experiencing any kind of energy affects).
Here are some suggestions:

How to Check Space Weather Activity
You can try a website such as www.spaceweather.com (I have no connection to that site).
At the top of the left column there is a 'Current Conditions' section (note: you may not be able to access it as easily on your smartphone), and you will find solar flare activity recorded there with which class it is - so you can know the level of severity.
Flares are labelled as X, M, C or B class, in terms of their severity. X and M class are the ones to watch out for., as they are the most intense. The C and B level ones are fairly frequent and low level and probably don't affect us that much or at all.

You can then scroll down to the 'Planetary K-index' section. This is where you can check for geomagnetic storms.
The scale is updated every three hours and has a range from 0 to 9, "directly related to the maximum amount of fluctuation (relative to a quiet day) in the geomagnetic field over a three-hour interval."
It will say the Kp number, and whether there is a 'storm.' It might also say something like 'strong' also giving you an indication of its intensity. If you click on 'more data', pay attention to the graph. The red lines mean that there is a severe storm in action which will no doubt be impacting you and your life.
