Heads up!!
Solar storms are bursts of energy from the sun that interact with Earth’s magnetic field. When they’re strong, they can disrupt satellites, GPS systems, radio communications and even power grids. That part is well documented.
On a more personal level, many people report feeling more tired, restless, foggy or emotionally sensitive during periods of heightened solar activity. While research is still evolving in this area, our nervous systems are electrical by nature, so it makes sense that shifts in Earth’s electromagnetic environment might be felt more strongly by some than others.
If you’re feeling “off” lately, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It may simply be a good time to slow down, hydrate, ground yourself, rest your eyes and nervous system and give your body a little extra grace.
Sometimes awareness alone helps us move through these periods with more ease.
