Exactly what is a solar flare and how does it affect us?
Dizzy, Irritable, Confused, flu like symptoms that are a little different than usual, head aches
These are all the symptoms of ascension. Ascension is the raising of frequencies. The Plasma from the Solar Flares raises frequencies.
Tuning into the frequencies with the music helps to align and attune so that the confusing symptoms don't appear from lack of attunement.
A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the Sun which appears to be a very bright spot and a gaseous surface eruption such as in the above photograph. Solar flares release huge amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot. They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun.
There appears to be a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms and human biological effect especially after an "M" class solar flare. The conduit which facilitates the charged particles from the Sun to human disturbance is the very same conduit which steers Earth’s weather through the Magnetic Field on Earth, and also through the magnetic fields around humans.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms appear to happen after strong solar activity on the sun.
Geomagnetic Activity on the Sun Influences our Thoughts
I have noticed in my own research that 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 behaviour and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response. Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems and heart palpitations, feel nauseous, queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches. Do you have any of the above lately? I am hearing from people in Canada, the U.S., South America, Japan, Greece, Malta, Belgium, Sweden, the UK, Australia etc. that all report the symptoms that I address after an episode of high solar flare activity. I have also experienced these symptoms myself as have many of my clients. Scientists don't seem to be addressing this, but we all know it is real as we are experiencing it first hand.
drink extra water when we are having this many solar flares. The reason is that it takes extra water from the brain to process these energies. I also suggest vitamin B complex and a product from the health food store called Curcumin (turmeric) used for pain and inflammation along with dizziness and vertigo. Cut back on caffeine as it reeves up the nervous system even more. If you are experiencing an unset stomach, tap gentally on the cheekbones just under the eyes as this helps eleviate the energy blockages in the stomach. It is also important to take Omega 3 at this time. Small children and the elerdy can become dehydrated from these solar flares easily so please keep an eye on them.
Potasium, Sodzyme, B12, potasium iodine and profem for women because everyone is transforming out of old growth hormones.
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. We often experience this as the body heating up in the form of “hot flashes.” Our lower emotions are low frequency energy stored in our cells from past experiences and traumas that we have encountered and never processed —so they become stored as cellular memories. Photon energy is a much higher frequency energy that pulls up the lower emotional frequency so it can calibrate to the higher frequency.... thus we find ourselves releasing these lower emotions of sadness and grief without knowing why. These spells will last for about twenty minutes and we are left wondering where these feelings came from out of the blue. The elements of our blueprint are interfaced in the cellular consciousness and when the blueprint is amplified through photon energies various elements of the blueprint leak into your consciousness and we begin to remember our soul’s purpose. We are pulled to make changes in our life but we don’t really realize why.
The interesting fact about this energy is that since it is of a higher frequency it creates the power of instant manifestation of our thoughts, which means whatever we think, we create instantly. This never before happened in our lifetime and that is why many people are writing books on the subject on the Power of Attraction.
Photonic energy connects to our thoughts so it is important that we know what we want, rather than we don’t want, otherwise, we will manifest more of what we don’t want. If you are in the process of change and transformation this energy works well for you. On the other hand, if you are stuck in the past through victimization and anger, you will simply manifest more reasons to remain stuck in victimization until you are ready to release it.

The Effects of Recent Solar Flares
Many people are feeling agitated and un-easy recently. The solar flares can break apart old patterns of thought that are no longer needed so new ones can emerge. This can make us feel hyper and exhausted all at the same time. It can also wreak havoc with technology such as computers.
We began noticing many new symptoms. Time and space appear to on a wobble even more erratically than before. We seem to be losing track of time easily. We lose words when we are speaking.The day simply disappears. We are not sleeping very well . . . again. There is lots of tossing and turning in the night and many are having unusual dreams. 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. Are you experiencing any of this? This isn't anything to be afraid of ... just be aware of what it is and get extra rest and drink lots of water.
Dates most likely for xclass flares and solar storms are November 26-28, December 15-30 and all of the days inbetween.
So, it is time to get ready.

PURPLE RAIN
The Promise of the PERFECT KINGDOM has already arrived. The Divine Blue Print of the Perfect Man created in the image and likeness of God has already arrived. The 12 DNA template of the original Taran, Oraphim, Aquafarian, Paradisian Race Line has been reinstated into the Sphere of Amenti within the Earth's Etheric Core. The Sphere of Amenti is the Morphogenetic Field (Consciousness created by the interweaving of Sound and Light Particles of the Complete Soul Matrix of all Races on Earth). That 12 DNA template was completed on December 21, 2012. That was the date that our Cosmic, Universal and Galactic Founders, Guardians and Creation Race lines chose for this completion because it was the exact date that there would be enough Frequencies in the Body of Earth to hold the implantation of such a huge amount of Frequencies. The Promise of the return of the Sphere of Amenti was postponed for 22,000 years because there were not enough Frequencies in the Earth's template to hold the incoming Star Activation. If they had completed their mission at that time, the Earth would had eventually exploded.
The Perfect Kingdom of the Divine Blue Print of the planetary body and human body made in the image and likeness of God is exactly that. It is a template with a programmed blue print like a piece of film in a camera. The picture of the divine creation was placed on the film through the Mind of God, first as a negative, which is like a negative ion. Next, the negative is flashed into the Consciousness of the Idea created on the negative and developed into a picture or a positive ion. Unfortunately, when a picture becomes developed in the outer domains of the five spheres of Consciousness, it can be manipulated, distorted and completely damaged by outside sources. This could be likened to what can be done to characters on the movie screen who are morphed into new images by the film editor. That is basically what happened to God's original movie. It got morphed into a completely distorted illusion.
Now, we are re-making God's movie. Now, the original negative of the picture of the man made in God's image and likeness is being put back in the movie camera. Now, that new movie will be played through the restored Earth's Khristiac Grid. The frequencies of the divine blue print, which would be the negative of the picture, or the negative ions, will be dispersed from the Sphere of Amenti ( the camera holding the corrected ionized film with the divine blue print imprinted upon it). Now that camera, holding the corrected movie pictures will flow into the Earth's grids and then into the biosphere of the human angelic template. That bio-energetic field will be filled with the negative ion holding the divine blue print created in the Cosmic Consciousness pre sound and pre light field. This is the point in creation when Source breathes the Divine Idea onto the Heliotalic Plasma, Silver, Pink, Purple, Gold Pastel Frequency Grid of the Negative Ion that comes down from heaven as the Purple Rain of the rebirth of the Divine Consciousness and then translates to the Positive Ion that is Visible Light of Ultra Violet BLUE. This Blue Film develops into the Blue Body and the Light Body and the Crystal Body of the Divine Man made in the image and likeness of God.
We would like to change the meaning of this term for the New Earth, this new time, this new reality to be termed SPIRITUAL IONS, which are the moving water particles of Liquid Light Crystal Water Falls pouring down the Purple Rain from Cosmic Consciousness. This Purple Rain turns into Ultra Violet Blue as it becomes visible. We can begin to interact with the Water Fairies within this new bio energetic field of liquid light energy as we raise our frequency of visible light into the blue light. We will call the HE3H20 liquid light energy SPIRITUAL IONS. This term will be the new understanding for all students of the COSMIC MYSTERY SCHOOL OF THE OMNIVERSE.
These etheric spiritual ideas are beginning to become visible in our reality, because we are moving into a new reality. We are moving into the omnions that are shifting into ultraviolet blue spiritual ions. The Earth is actually moving all of the time. The place we are moving to now is in an angle that aligns us with the 12th metagalactic star gate. That is Aramentena. The 12th stargate that we would be aligned with where the old Earth is was Nibiru. We aren't in that alignment any longer.
The 12 DNA template is the original IDEA in the Mind of God. This is the negative of the film that will be developed into a picture that can be seen or perceived within the visible light spectrum when it becomes the positive. The negative ion is the purple rain coming down as the heliotalic frequency, and the positive is the visible blue light. This interaction of the negative ion as the flow of liquid light energy flowing through the plasma to create a rainbow where the letters in the light can be viewed as hydrolaise. This can also be viewed as the heliotalic frequency of the fourteenth dimension weaving into the plasma of the eighth dimension and then becoming visible as it reaches the visible light spectrum in the fifth dimension. When this happens we have achieved another very important phenomena on Earth which allows the bio energetic fields to carry a new chemistry.
The new biology and chemistry begins when the water changes from H20 into HE3 H20, which is the formula of three parts helium into two parts hydrogen into one part oxygen. This is the new bio energetic field of energy that Earth will breathe through her grids from the Sphere of Amenti into the Earth's atmosphere and into the templates of the human biology. This magical substance is called hydrolaise. Crystalai and aDolphino introduced their students to Hydrolaise in 2008 when they interacted with this substance in Monterey. It is easy to mistake this magical substance with the negative ions that are seen and felt when water particles separate in the activity of the water fall, or the tidal waves splashing against the crystal structures, or the mist in the air allowing rainbow streams to manufacture before you very eyes.
This hydrolaise that was seen through the kaleidoscope eyes of Crystalai in 2008 and progressively more and more each day until 2012, when the hydrolaise actually began to carry upon it her very own fire letters of her divine creation. This is the ultimate in hydrolaise activity. Our fire letters are the sub harmonic frequencies - the 12 missing frequency bands between each DNA strand. As I watched these fire letters streaming through the hydrolaise as it interacted with the plasma in the Sun's rays, those very fire letters were braiding within my own DNA strands. This etheric 12 strand template is always created from the divine blue print which always begins with the 12 codes. The 12 codes begin as fire letters which are the most etheric level of Consciousness, which can only be seen with 5th dimensional vision. This divine template is what activates the 12 DNA to become reactivated from within the Earth's biosphere and then She breathes this hydrolaise out into our DNA template so that our fire letters begin weaving our 12 sub harmonic frequencies or fire letters back into our DNA template.
The template is the etheric level of the DNA. The DNA is always the 12DNA template because there are 12 etheric bands of sub harmonic frequencies which create the celestiline bands of transformation within each DNA strand. To the scientific visible light spectrum, the only visible DNA that has been considered is the double helix DNA template. That template is the primary structure of the distorted film placed in the outer domains destruction of the original movie made in the image and likeness of God photography lab.
The true movie made in the Mind of God photography lab was always a 12 DNA template holding the Divine Blue Print of the Complete IDEA that was to be created first as a Cosmic Film of Heliotalic substance, next as Liquid Light Energy from the Universal Sphere, transferred into the x-ray vision that allows the film to flip over into the visible spectrum within the second sphere of Galactic Consciousness. The visible spectrum is within the second morphogenetic field or the second sphere of dimensions 4, 5 and 6. That is the template where our Taran Race line of the immortal man who never dies, never gets sick and never speaks a negative word to anyone lives.
When we receive the new breathe of fresh bio energetic frequencies that hold the new morphogenetic field of consciousness, our bio energetic field becomes saturated with that new reality. This is a glorious process of making God's movie the way it was supposed to be made. The movie will be made in the image and likeness of God, or with the divine blue print of Divine Perfection within every atomic structure of the body as 12 sub harmonic bands within the first, second and third DNA strands braid together and activate as they create celestiline (the magical blue dust powder of immortality) causing the DNA to braid together causing Ascension into the Second Morphogenetic Field.
Our Divine Guardian Families and Friends have created on Earth the absolute formula for this Divine Miracle to take place upon this Earth between 2012 and 2017. The five year window has already begun. It began that divine moment of December 21, 2012. It was that moment that the frequencies of Consciousness of all 12 Universes aligned into at one ment or Atunement as the Music of the Spheres sang a brand new song through the Cosmos. This alignment had to be completed at a Cosmic level where 13 Cosmos created the Cosmaya Frequency to activate the alignment of the 12 Universes. This alignment was inhaled into the New Negative in the Breath of Source to create a brand new Negative of the picture or the new movie that would be created. This new movie created on the same divine template of the 12 DNA Divine Coded Template was EXHALED into the entire new Cosmos on December 21, 2012.
There is no time in Divine Reality. That means the reality of the new 12 DNA Divine Man made in the image and likeness of God was created on this day. However, the 5DNA negative of that creation also needed to be implanted into the Sphere of Amenti, in order for the Angelic Human to enjoy the Visible Light aspect of the 12DNA template. The second morphogenetic field holds the visible light aspect of the perfect man. This is the field of consciousness where God's Movie can most easily be enjoyed. When we rise into the third morphogenetic field of 7,8, and 9 dimensions, we begin playing in a field of light that is so etheric that it is like a shield of light with a silhouette of forms in it. Beyond that, the spheres of reality become less and less dense until we become pure consciousness with no form at all. Now, that we have redeveloped into the 12 DNA template, we can enjoy all of those morphogenetic fields of Consciousness. We can become invisible light long enough to orb into those other dimensions of reality. It is our new biological chemical structure of the HE3H20 that develops us into the negative ions that allow us to flash into light as our Consciousness becomes trained to activate these states of light by raising our frequencies through our own activity of Consciousness and Breath alignment with the Mind of God.
Back to the Fairy Magic. I was told that my new mission on Earth during this window of five years is to see and communicate with Water Fairies or the Aquafarians. The ability to do this requires what I have explained in the preceding article. My Higher Self has reconnected me to this understanding of the Hydrolaise and the HE3H20 or the Spiritual Ionization, as being the first step in creating the morphogenetic field of reality where I can go into and invite Water Fairies into my Consciousness to see them and communicate with them. Fairies cannot live within the distorted water fields that have existed on this Earth. The fairies that some have seen and channeled are those that have been caught within the same messed up movie screen that the rest of us have been living within. We are now responsible for setting those Fairies free as we help them to translate the bio energetic fields into the spiritual ionization needed for real fairies to live in.
We did this same procedure in Monterey, when we were helping the Dolphins and Whales ascend back up into the Cloud Cities as their bodies translated into the Hydrolaise, the mist, the negative ions and finally the HE3H20 within the spiritual Cloud Cities of Higher Earth. The animals of divine origin such as the Dolphins, Whales, White Belugas, Penguins, Polar Bears, White Fox, and many more have ascended ahead of the Earth because they didn't need to clean out as much Karma as the rest of us. Now, that we have helped them, it is time to help the fairies who will help us. I have also watched the Evergreen trees ascend right before my eyes. They attune into their light bodies right before my eyes. Their light body pops out in front of them and then goes back into their eternal life green body and it looks like evergreen but it glows. That was different than the process we watched the dolphins, whales and belugas go through. We even have a picture of the ascending dolphins on our website.
Children have always been able to see and communicate with fairies easier than adults. Allow your children to guide you in this activity along with a little help from your new understanding of the reality of the existence of fairies, ionization, H2O2HE3, and the new bio energetic fields we live in. This will help you activate your DNA stranding and your children's DNA stranding. Many of you are already living with the Indigo children who have these magical talents and already have their DNA activated. It is time to start learning from them. They are your key to the kingdom.
Namaste,
(From the Source of all that is within me to the Source of all that is within you),
KHRYSTALAI
(the place where the spark of Source within the Crystal Heart of the Universe flows back to the Spark of Source in the Pre Sound Field)
CHANCE OF STORMS: Earth's magnetic field is about to receive a glancing blow from three CMEs observed leaving the Sun between Oct. 20th and 22nd. Forecast models suggest that the three clouds merged en route to Earth, and their combined impact could trigger a mild polar geomagnetic storm on Oct. 24-25. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. Aurora alerts: text, voice.
SOLAR FLARE! Solar activity is high. On October 24th at 00:30 UT, Earth-facing sunspot AR1877 erupted, producing a powerful M9-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast:
Update #1: The eruption hurled a faint CME into space and it appears to be heading toward Earth. The arrival time is not yet known.
Update #2: NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has released a full-disk movie of the explosion. Play it.
More flares are in the offing. Two large sunspots, AR1875 and AR1877, have 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic fields that harbor energy for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-flares and a 5% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.
COMET EXPLOSION: Almost 450 million km from Earth, Comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) has exploded. Amateur astronomers are reporting a 100-fold increase in the comet's brightness compared to predictions, and the comet's atmosphere or "coma" now resembles that of exploding Comet 17P/Holmes in 2007. Using a remotely-controlled 0.5 meter telescope in New Mexico, European observers Ernesto Guido, Martino Nicolini and Nick Howes took this picture of the spherical explosion on Oct 21st:
"The predicted magnitude of the comet on Oct. 20th was about +14," says Guido. "Now it is close to +8.5." This is below the threshold for naked-eye visibility, but bright enough for backyard telescopes equipped with digital cameras.
Prompted by the reports of Guido et al, Romanian amateur astronomer Maximilian Teodorescu observed the comet on Oct. 22nd, confirming its brightness and spherical structure. "It looked exactly like Comet Holmes back in 2007," says Teodorescu.
Located in the constellation Coma Berenices, Comet LINEAR X1 rises in the east about an hour before the sun. The low altitude of the comet in morning twilight is a challenge. "I could not see the comet through the eyepiece of my 4.5 inch refracting telescope," adds Teodorescu, "but the camera detected it easily enough."
The outburst does not necessarily signal a disintegration of the comet. Possibly, a local vein or cavern of deep ice in the comet's nucleus has been exposed to sunlight. Rapid evaporation of fragile ices could account for the comet's bigger- and brighter-than-expected atmosphere. Monitoring in the nights ahead might reveal clues to what happened ... and when. Resources: 3D orbit, ephemeris, sky map.
SOLAR TSUNAMI AND RADIO BURST: Sunspot AR1875 erupted on Oct. 22nd (21:20 UT), producing an impulsive M4-class solar flare and a loud burst of shortwave radio static. Amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft of New Mexico was listening at the time of the eruption. "I knew this flare was a strong one by the force of the radio shock front," he says. "It nearly lifted me out of my chair!" Click on the image to hear what emerged from the loudspeaker of his radio telescope:
Advice: Listen to the sound file using stereo headphones. The two channels correspond to two radio frequencies--21 and 28 MHz.
At the time of the flare, Ashcraft was also monitoring the sun using an "H-alpha" solar telescope tuned to the red glow of solar hydrogen. The telescope recorded a tsunami of plasma emerging from the blast site. "It's the shadowy wave that races away to the right of the sunspot," Ashcraft points out.
The tsunami was the source of the radio emission. Shock waves at the leading edge of the tsunami cause plasma instabilities in the sun's atmosphere. Those instabilities, in turn, generate shortwave radio emissions. Ashcraft is a regular listener of the sun and he classifies the Oct. 22nd outburst as "one of the strongest radio blasts of the solar cycle so far. Hopefully it bodes well for future activity."

NEW: Every night, a network of NASA all-sky cameras scans the skies above the United States for meteoritic fireballs. Automated software maintained by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office calculates their orbits, velocity, penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere and many other characteristics. Daily results are presented here on Spaceweather.com.
The Sun is a big magnet.
During solar minimum the Sun's magnetic field, like Earth's, resembles that of an iron bar magnet, with great closed loops near the equator and open field lines near the poles. Scientists call such a field a "dipole." The Sun's dipolar field is about as strong as a refrigerator magnet, or 50 gauss. Earth's magnetic field is 100 times weaker.
During the years around solar maximum (2000 and 2001 are good examples) spots pepper the face of the Sun. Sunspots are places where intense magnetic loops -- hundreds of times stronger than the ambient dipole field -- poke through the photosphere. Sunspot magnetic fields overwhelm the underlying dipole; as a result, the Sun's magnetic field near the surface of the star becomes tangled and complicated.The Sun's magnetic field isn't confined to the immediate vicinity of our star. The solar wind carries it throughout the solar system. Out among the planets we call the Sun's magnetic field the "Interplanetary Magnetic Field" or "IMF." Because the Sun rotates (once every 27 days) the IMF has a spiral shape -- named the "Parker spiral" after the scientist who first described it.
Above: Steve Suess (NASA/MSFC) prepared this figure, which shows the Sun's spiraling magnetic field from a vantage point ~100 AU from the Sun.
Earth has a magnetic field, too. It forms a bubble around our planet called the magnetosphere, which deflects solar wind gusts. (Mars, which does not have a protective magnetosphere, has lost much of its atmosphere as a result of solar wind erosion.) Earth's magnetic field and the IMF come into contact at the magnetopause: a place where the magnetosphere meets the solar wind. Earth's magnetic field points north at the magnetopause. If the IMF points south -- a condition scientists call "southward Bz" -- then the IMF can partially cancel Earth's magnetic field at the point of contact.
Above: Earth's magnetosphere. From the Oulu Space Physics Textbook.
"When Bz is south, that is, opposite Earth's magnetic field, the two fields link up," explains Christopher Russell, a Professor of Geophysics and Space Physics at UCLA. "You can then follow a field line from Earth directly into the solar wind" -- or from the solar wind to Earth. South-pointing Bz's open a door through which energy from the solar wind can reach Earth's atmosphere!
Southward Bz's often herald widespread auroras, triggered by solar wind gusts or coronal mass ejections that are able to inject energy into our planet's magnetosphere.
