I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. Knowing the ground socket was indeed grounded, I rigged this up with a simple drill bit, and some electrical wire and tape before i went to sleep last night (I hadn't seen your response yet.)

This morning I woke up after only 4.5 hours of rest. I was completely and fully awake at sunrise. I was shocked.

In fact, I had a sense of joy in my chest that was so intense, that I got worried for a moment because it had been decades since I felt that way at all.

My sleep state was ultra vivid and far more conscious. Even pleasant.

I'm aware a contemplative could make a living off this. Although these shielding and grounding blankets already exist, I am working on it.  I also have an engineer friend who could lend some assistance.

For now, I will invest to make the adapter so it's easy for anyone to do. Perhaps I will then sell just the adapter (with built in features to make this easy and safe for anyone.)

This is excellent results.  I hope you continue to experience improved health.

A simple adapter to convert an electric blanket to an EMF shield could be a useful product to sell, which could bring you a reasonable income.  I hope it works out, because dedicated contemplative need some kind of income in this culture which does not support its mystics.

Space weather continues to be calm.

In the last 24 hours there was a series of x-ray bursts and accompanying CMEs from the sun.

Here is the series of x-ray bursts

Here is the surface of the sun showing those x-ray bursts

Here are the CME emerging from the solar disk

Here are the same CME further from the sun.

There are several observed sun grazing comets near the sun at this time, which are most probably the cause of this sudden increase in solar activity:

Hi all,

Some very good news! The following new designations were announced on
MPC 93678:
321P/2001 D1 = 1997 J6 = 2004 X7 = 2008 S2 = 2012 M2 (SOHO)
322P/1999 R1 = 2003 R5 = 2007 R5 = 2011 R4 (SOHO)
323P/1999 X3 = 2004 E2 = 2008 K10 = 2012 Q2 (SOHO)

Those are the first three SOHO "/P" designations! (As opposed to "P/")

Cheers,
Karl
Conclusion:
We should get slammed with level 4-6 geomagnetic disturbances due to increased solar wind from these CME in the next day to 3 days.  So, button up your EMF shields and make sure you are grounded.

As predicted the earth has been impacted with space weather for the last 24 hours. 

The comparative plots of key space weather factors show the estimated planetary k index rose to 4s-6s in the last 24 hours, which is significant.  NOAA Space Weather reported 10 events related to this sequence.

This series of significant solar events began with a Type II Radio Emission 2015 Jun 01 1333 UTC.  Then there were x-ray bursts followed by CMEs, as I reported above.  The impact started when a Geomagnetic K-index of 4 threshold was reached on 2015 Jun 08 0300 UTC.  It so far has peaked with a Geomagnetic K-index of 6 threshold, which was reached: 2015 Jun 08 0749 UTC. We should expect another 24 hours of elevated space weather events.

In spite of the current space weather storm my health is good today.  The recent decline in my health reported last week may very well have been partly due to 2 major space weather events that occurred last month in addition to the effort of moving.

Yesterday we had a level 5 estimated planetary K index event.  Last night my health was in serious decline, but I am doing better now.

Here is an article that was just published that shows a clear link to solar storms and my specific health issues.

I hope that your health continues to improve, Jhananda.

Thank-you for the interesting article. It supports your theory on the correlation between solar activity and health.

Thank-you, Michel, yes right now my health is good.  One of the reasons why I moved to the current warehouse, is it is a metal building, so I will be shielded and grounded most of the day now.  It seems that my health is effected significantly by space weather.  This means longevity will require shielding and grounding.  However, it is now one day at a time.

It's interesting that you like to live in small storage warehouses for health reasons. How many square feet is this new one? What is the rent? What facilities are there, etc? And what I'm most interested in knowing - are the surroundings quiet and peaceful?

Quote from: The K7RA Solar Update
The K7RA Solar Update
“A coronal mass ejection has been observed in association with a flare from region 2371 at 1736 UTC on June 18. The majority of the CME material appears primarily directed to the NE of the sun, however further analysis suggests that the Earth will be impacted by the edge of the CME around 09UT on June 21. Minor storm periods are expected following the impact with major storm levels possible at high latitudes.”

I have been taking it easy for the last few days because I am just waiting for a part to arrive to finish assembly of the van.  I then plan to go camping.  Tuesday is when I expect to receive the part.

However, yesterday afternoon I experienced a sharp pain in my chest and sudden fatigue.  Having learned that my health problems seem to be tied to solar activity I checked Space Weather Conditions home page, and found a CME had emerged from the sun.  Now a second one has.

For the last the estimated planetary K index has been 5s to 8s, which is extreme.  If some of you stayed up late and looked at the dark night sky, then you might have seen aurora.

Just saw this article (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150709092955.htm):

Quote
A new model of the Sun's solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun's 11-year heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645.

I wonder if it means anything?

Thanks, bodhimind, for the link to the article.  I will give it some time reading.  It just so happens that other scientists in other disciplines have also been predicting a massive drought for the last half of this century.  So, more indicators of a drought are arising.

Interestingly: there is an 11-year global rain cycle; there is also an 11-year cycle to the meteor showers; and of course there is an 11-year cycle to the sun. Thus, it is my premise that all of these cycles are tied together some way, and I believe it is all caused by an 11-year cycle of debris falling into the sun, which stimulates its activity, which stimulates weather cycles on Earth; and that 11-year of debris falling into the sun produces an 11-year cycle to the meteor showers.
