The
very heavy energy of the past days (weeks?) is finding release today as
the Sun finally unleashes an M Class solar flare after weeks of quiet.
We are so attuned to solar energies these days, and I've found that this period of quiet created a build-up of emotional energy within us that rose to an uncomfortable crescendo in the past few days. Physically the body can only take so much, so many of you may have found yourselves wiped out with fatigue, the flu or physical soreness. As the sun flared this morning, the release of that energy is palpable.
It is like a big exhale after having to hold your breath for too long. I get an image of strings and strings and strings of old energy being gathered together until it turned into a huge ball with all of us contributing.
This gathering process that July revolved around has felt intense and exhausting to say the least, but then today this ball was given a huge throw into the universal recycling bin on behalf of us all. No longer do we need to process things with a hundred therapy sessions. Thank you Sun for sweeping so much old stuff away with a big flare wooshka! I for one appreciate it.

MINOR STORM WARNING: A CME is heading for Earth. The cloud was hurled into space on July 30th when a magnetic filament on the sun erupted, and it appears to be on course to sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Aug. 2nd when the CME arrives. Aurora alerts: text, voice
RADIO BURSTS FROM THE SUN: The loudspeakers of shortwave radios are bursting with static today. The source of the noise is the sun. "I have been picking up solar bursts on my RadioJove receiver at 20.1 MHz," reports Kevin Palivec of Hawley, Texas. This chart recording displays 10 minutes of activity:
The bursts were triggered by an M2-class explosion in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2127. The explosion sent shock waves rippling through the sun's atmosphere. Those shock waves, in turn, excited plasma instabilities that emit static-y radio waves. Becase there are a whole variety of plasma instabilites, there is a corresponding variety of radio burst types. Palivec recorded a mix of two: Type II and Type IV.
More solar radio bursts could be in the offing as sunspot AR2127 and nearby sunspot AR2130 both crackle with M-class solar flares. Visit NASA's RadioJove website to find out how to build your own receiver--and listen up...."
