On July 4, 2020, Planet Earth hits a milestone as it reaches out to aphelion, the most distant position from the sun. It takes place at 11:35 UTC which is 6:35 a.m. Central Daylight Time in the United States. You can convert UTC to your time. Do you feel like it is hot outside right now on your part of Earth? Or maybe cold? The aphelion of Earth occurs in the middle of summertime in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, this shows that the seasons aren’t caused by our distance from the sun. You can read more about that below. In fact, the orbit of the Earth is nearly circular, though not quite. Therefore, our distance from the sun can’t change a lot. We are three million miles (or 5 million km) distant from the sun than we are going to be in 6 months from now. That’s in comparison to our distance from the sun that is an average of about 93 million miles (150 million km). The word aphelion has a very interesting meaning. It originates from two … [Read more...]
The 2 Unbelievable Lunar Perigee in June 2020
The picture above portrays a moon phase simulation on June 29-30, 2020, as our world of companion enters this month’s second lunar perigee. The picture is taken from Fourmilab. The moon in its orbit moves at perigee closest to Earth, and at apogee farthest from Earth. In 2020, there are 13 lunar perigees in total, and it’s likely that two lunar perigees will be harbored in one calendar month this year. Therefore, this double feature occurs this month – June 2020! June’s second perigee happens on June 29 or 30 depending on where you live (June 30 at 02:09 UTC). However, some people might want to name this a Blue Moon perigee, and that is because the Blue Moon is commonly defined as the second full moon of the month; this June 29-30 perigee is also the second one this month. The first lunar perigee happened on June 3, 202 at 03:36 UTC. The second one comes at 2:09 UTC on the 30th of June 2020. If we convert Universal Time to the time zones in the United States and North America, … [Read more...]
How You Can Get A View Of The Green Flash TODAY
Chris Mannerino from San Diego, California, USA, took this green flash picture on the 13th of December, 2017. It’s not impossible to see a green flash only with your eyes. You can do that when the sky conditions are ideal, especially when you’re looking at a very distant and very clear horizon. This is why those living near an ocean witness flashes more commonly. The perfect place to see them is a sea horizon. Vladek’s video was recorded in 2016 and it is an amazing example of the Green Flash experience. When can you see it? People usually catch green flashes right at sunset, before the sun goes below the horizon at the very last moment. However, you need to be patient and not look too soon. If you do it too early, your eyes will be dazzled (or damaged) by the sunset light. Therefore, you will lose your chance to see the flash that day. But if you are careful, the green flash of that day will be yours. You just need to look away until just the smallest surface of the sun … [Read more...]
Lion’s Mane Mushroom
Higher neurogenesis rates could essentially indicate to be equivalent to higher happiness rates. Hericium erinaceus or Lion’s mane mushroom is a food with many medicinal benefits and it has been used since ancient times. It has now proved to be a powerful natural remedy for anxiety and depression. Thirty female patients were participating in a human clinical study that was placebo-controlled. It was made in order to examine the benefits of lion’s mane on sleep quality, menopause, anxiety, and depression. Of those who completed the research, the placebo was given to 14. However, 12 of them took an extract from the mane mushroom that was put into baked cookies. Every day, they took 2 grams of lion’s mane mushroom. Therefore, after 4 weeks of consuming it, a decrease in anxiety and depression was shown by the mane mushroom participants. This analysis gives rise to the increasing assumption between scientists; that anxiety and depression have very little to do with the … [Read more...]

They made … [Read more...]
Are You One Of The Andromedan Starseeds?
Andromedan Starseed relates to the Galaxy of Andromeda which is close to the Milky Way and our planet earth. Their location is in Andromeda’s constellation, just 2.5 million light-years away from us. They are 12-dimensional entities, according to the information that we know, but they are 3 dimensional on our planet. Therefore, they are not one species; they differ in form depending on their dimension. In the current world, there are around 800,000 people whose origin is Andromedan. They live modest lives and don’t want other people to pay much attention to them. Their role on Earth is mostly supportive. However, they are powerful enough to play the lead part too, but they are scared to use their abilities because they are too powerful. Characteristics of Andromedan Starseed Here are some characteristics that Andromedan Starseeds have: They love freedom and travelling Andromedans embrace their freedom. They will never compromise it and can do anything to keep it. … [Read more...]
Do You Have The Golden Aura? – Meaning Explained
Explanation of the Golden Aura: We can define the aura as a luminous emission of energy that reaches through all other bodies from the physical one. The concept is how we have different bodies of different frequencies of embodiment and existence. This indicates that all of these bodies exist at the same time but the visible one is typically the physical body. For those who are able to see auras, there is power and light around the levels of energies that surround our physical bodies. In essence, that is how we connect with a more subtle type of stimulus and information in our physical environment. What does the golden aura mean? Usually, a golden aura points to one of these two situations; either caring energy flows in or the heart is going through a process of opening up. Strong compassion is involved in both cases, and the golden light is usually connected with the Sun. In addition, there is a lot of other connections that we should take into consideration. A golden aura … [Read more...]
How Someone’s Eyes Can Alter Your State of Consciousness
When you look directly into somebody’s eyes, strange things can happen. We are sure that you might have come across the term “piercing eyes”. But what if someone’s stare was so intense that it managed to evoke an altered state of consciousness? In fact, one psychologist claims that gazing into someone’s eyes for around 10 minutes straight will lead to experiences that are “out of body”. In addition, you may have hallucinations too, and visions of people that are not present; like our loved ones, family members, or friends. The experiment was led by Dr. Giovanni Caputo of the University of Urbino Italy in 2015. It was performed in a darkened room where twenty participants sat in pairs while gazing at each other’s eyes attentively for 10 minutes. The light was strong enough to distinctly display the facial features of their counterparts. However, the dimness was such that it weakened their general sense of color. This is stated by the British Psychological Society journal … [Read more...]
What is Self-Awareness? Types and Development.
Self-awareness means being mindful of various facets of our own characteristics, emotions, and behaviors. In essence, it is a mental state where the center of attention is on one’s own self. Self-awareness is one of the main elements of the emerging self-concept journey. Although self-awareness has a key role in who we are, it is not a thing that we are intensely focused on in every moment of the day. In fact, it can become part of the foundation of who you are and begin to emerge at different stages, depending on the circumstances and your character. People are not fully self-aware when they are born. However, studies have revealed that infants have a basic sense of awareness of themselves. Infants do have the awareness of knowing that they are not the same beings as others. That is exemplified by their behavior such as making rooting motions in which infants are trying to find a nipple. This happens when something is brushing against their face. Studies have also shown that … [Read more...]
Our Collective Evolution and Survival Depend on Awareness
“The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.” – Thomas Merton To those who don’t have any knowledge, awareness might be a foreign concept. These are usually people that live a mechanical life; they cannot really understand such thing as awareness. We can define awareness as the ability to feel, recognize, or be aware of the situations and events that affect our lives. The only thing that will control the course of our biological diversity, species, and whole ecosystems, is awareness. Therefore, we need to think about our connection with everything and increase our awareness. Analyzing Awareness Let’s discuss more closely about what awareness is and its importance for humanity. There are three stages of awareness that we come across in our everyday lives. The physical that we live in is the first. Here we include our house and everything in it; … [Read more...]
