Our beautiful sun has been busy this year with solar flares becoming much more active in March of 2010 as we move through solar cycle 24 .  The scientific evidence shows that solar activity can be correlated with incidence of earthquakes, weather changes, and volcanic activity. 

Solar flares can also affect physiology including physical, mental, and emotional health.  During a flare the incident of hospital admission, heart attack, seizures and acts of violence can increase.  That being said the reason for this post is to inform you of the POSITIVE EFFECTS OF A SOLAR FLARE.  Solar flares can dramatically increase creativity and it is a perfect time to move into compassion for all living things on earth. 

I ask you to all take time today to breathe in the life giving energy of our sun and send love and compassion to our sun, our earth, humanity and all living things and nature itself.   If you feel unbalanced breathe deeply and let the emotion pass without reacting.  Use today as a day of action toward creating within you what you desire.  Use today to send a state of calm and peace to the entire planet and solar system.

Nameste’ and
Happy Holiday!

The holiday season can be one of paradoxical emotions and situations.  Remember to take the time daily to sit quietly if only for 10 to 20 minutes.  Focus on your breathing and let all cares or worries be placed outside you for this short time.  This practice is paramount for relieving stress.  In addition a brisk walk or some kind of physical excercise 3 to 5 times a week for 20 minutes or more can help your body rid itself of cortisol, a stress hormone that can build up in the body.  Remember to focus on controlled breathing during your busy day.    A good excercise to perform 3 times a day would be deep yogic breathing.   Breathe in fully filling the lungs completely while you count to 6.   Then exhale that breath fully while counting to 6.  Make it a priority to take care of yourself, remember your health affects all of those you love and care about.  It is an intangible gift that can keep giving to you and your family throughout the year!
