" OUR SUN has been exceptionally active over the past two days. Solar flares on Friday (January 28) included seventeen B-class and nine C-class flares. On Saturday (January 29), there were eight B-class, twenty-two C-class, and one M-class flare. These are significant numbers! In my facebook posts yesterday, I called it a "solar Woodstock"; the energy was so amplified, it seemed that there were new bursts of activity on the solar stage every few minutes. Yesterday's M1.14-class flare was especially spectacular, since it was a long-duration event, lasting 99 minutes! If you felt an increase in nervous energy, or felt more anxious or emotional than usual, this might have been part of the cause. You may also have had particularly notable dreams last night. IN ADDITION to affecting Earth's magnetic field, solar flares impact our central nervous system and other biological systems. They activate cellular memories, sometimes bringing forth unprocessed emotions that are stored in our physical bodies. This is why solar activity can correspond with sudden waves of memories or emotions that appear "out of the blue," so to speak. If these arise, it is best to allow ourselves to feel the emotions without attaching labels or meanings, and to let the wave flood through and then subside. Scientific studies show that solar storms and geomagnetic activity affect the pineal gland, which is sensitive to magnetic fields. In her book The Illumined Heart and Mind, Margo Kirtikar, PhD, states that the French philosopher René Descartes called the pineal gland "the center at which the soul and the body interact, and where we receive our messages from the Divine realms." She goes on to say that Greek philosopher Plato believed that the pineal gland is our connection to the realms of thought, calling it the Eye of Wisdom. Because of the activation of the higher centers and pineal gland, some people experience headaches, eye pain, sinus pressure, blurred vision, vertigo, and other similar symptoms during heightened solar activity. This may be due to the energies being cleared from the pineal gland and third eye. We have all experienced lifetimes — or even times in the current life — where we needed to close down our spiritual awareness for survival reasons. Those fears and blocks are now being cleared to allow further development of our spiritual senses. "
