Duck And Cover, People — A Huge X-Class Solar Flair Heading Our Way

At 1:32 p.m. EST today, the sun emitted a gigantic solar flair. An X1.2-class flair to be precise. X-class flairs are the Cat 5 of solar eruptions. And as luck would have it, this explosion is pointed straight toward us. That’s called an Earth Facing CME (Coronal Mass Eruption).

Basically NASA is saying:?THIS IS HUGE AND IT’S HEADING TOWARDS EARTH.

Watch the video:

It will arrive on January 9?2013. Actually the word the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) uses is “Impact.” Sounds intense. The National Weather Service also has this event featured as their TOP NEWS OF THE DAY.

Very exciting- here’s the link: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

NOAA says:

?2014-01-07 22:11?UTC??CME Impacts Expected January 9

The source of this pulse is an Earth-directed CME launched from centrally-located Region 1944 at 1832 UTC (1:32 p.m. EST) today January 7. This forecast is pending the acquisition of some data as yet unavailable, and may be updated.?

Here is the video of today’s massive solar flair erupting.

This movie shows imagery from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory as the sun emitted an X-class flare on Jan. 7, 2014. The movie shows light in the 1600 Angstrom wavelength showing both sunspots visible on the sun’s surface and the flare in the solar atmosphere. NOTE: This video loops 4 times.

What Is A Solar Flare?

According to Wikipedia, “A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as a large energy release… (about a sixth of the total energy output of the Sun each second). The flare ejects clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms through the corona into space. These clouds typically reach Earth a day or two after the event.

Solar flares affect all layers of the solar atmosphere (photosphere, chromosphere, and corona), when the medium plasma is heated to tens of millions of kelvins and electrons, protons, and heavier ions are accelerated to near the speed of light. They produce radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays, although most of the energy goes to frequencies outside the visual range and for this reason the majority of the flares are not visible to the naked eye…

Flares occur in active regions around sunspots… Flares are powered by the sudden (timescales of minutes to tens of minutes) release of magnetic energy stored in the corona. The same energy releases may produce coronal mass ejections (CME)…

X-rays and UV radiation emitted by solar flares can affect Earth’s ionosphere and disrupt long-range radio communications. Direct radio emission at decimetric wavelengths may disturb operation of radars and other devices operating at these frequencies.

Solar flares are classified as A, B, C, M or X according to the peak flux…Within a class there is a linear scale from 1 to 9, so an X2 flare is twice as powerful as an X1 flare, and is four times more powerful than an M5 flare. The more powerful M and X class flares are often associated with a variety of effects on the near-Earth space environment.”?wikipedia.org

How Solar Flares Affect Our Bodies:

Sun’s solar storms do affect us. Especially after an M or X?class solar flare like the one heading our way. It’s common knowledge these flares effect the magnetic field and impact Earth’s weather. After strong solar activity on the sun, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms appear to occur more frequently.

But human beings also have a physical magnetic field, so it stands to reason that we too are impacted by solar activity.

Geomagnetic Activity on the sun may also influence our Thought Patterns.

According to Heather Carlini C.M.Ht, a medical intuitive & Energy Medicine practitioner. “Solar activity is known to influence human consciousness. Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System (stomach lining), all brain activity (including equilibrium), along with human behavior and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response. Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxious, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems, heart palpitations, feel nauseous,?queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches.”

Carlini also reports, “The solar flares and photon waves are changing the fabric of our physical reality as they have a powerful effect on our physical cellular level, causing our cellular memories to awaken and clear.?

In addition, Carlini reports, “We are feeling huge power surges in the body followed by energy drops. There were many reports of nausea, and body aches and pains and dizziness. Many feel deep grief. Some feel like they were walking on water (ungrounded). Others said that when they closed their eyes at night, everything is spinning. There have been visual disturbances, inner ear issues, ringing in ears, throat and thyroid issues, cold feet and even a weird symptom of having tongue dryness.”

Which is why instead of hiding under your desks and ducking for cover, you might want to consider drinking extra water so the body can process this event a little easier. It is advisable to also take Omega 3 for the mitochondria.?
