Riding the Cosmic Waves: Solar Flares, 3i ATLAS & The Collective Cracking-Open

Once again, the energy around us coming into the end of 2025 has been nothing short of intense.

This year has been an absolute hurricane (metaphorically and literally) with us having only small periods of peace or ease before something else comes and knocks us back into a schumann resonance exposure response. But lately i've noticed that people are battling to really regulate using the tools they once used before, and as we move into the end of this wild year, so many of us have noticed a definite amplification of symptoms we often link with spiritual growth/cosmic development. But with no success when using our sage, our music, our spiritual tools or even with the usual going outside to meditate rituals... what are we to do and focus on?

Between the powerful solar flares, the coronal mass ejections, the open coronal holes, the retrograding planets and even the presence of 3I ATLAS passing through our cosmic neighbourhood, we’re sitting in a field of energy that is shaking loose anything stagnant, old or unresolved — individually and collectively... so lets break this down. These observations and guidances are based off my experience with my Reiki clients, my own personal shifts and experiences, and what i'm observing from the people around me in my family and online community of keen observers.

☀️ Solar Flares, CMEs & The Body’s “Upgrade” Response

The Sun has been exceptionally active, sending waves of high-frequency electromagnetic energy toward Earth. Whether we understand the science or the spirituality behind it, or nothing at all, the reality is that our bodies absolutely respond to these shifts. Solar storms tend to stir up our internal systems — physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically — and for sensitives, it can feel like a full-body reboot. I mean if you add in the dis-ease and possibly the fear of the unknown that these announcements via the media suggest then that can drop our personal frequencies even more leaving us more vulnerable than if we had no idea about these impactful events.

People often experience disrupted sleep, agitation, emotional purging, pressure headaches, heightened intuition, bursts of creativity or waves of deep introspection. Its a real life rollercoaster of the body and mind.  These flares work almost like light pushing through the cracks of old patterns, flushing out anything the body has been quietly storing and forcing our hand with whatever it is we need or have been working to bring into our lives. usually, in a manner which isn't exactly what we wanted.

✨ 3I ATLAS & The Possibility of Interstellar Witnessing

There has also been a wave of interest around 3I ATLAS - is it a comet? or is it a spaceship? nobody actually knows! isn't that insane! astrophysists everywhere are scratching their heads. NASA has limited access to their observations and we held our breath as it went out of access behind the sun last month and nobody knew what it was going to do or where it was going to go. 3i ATLAS is the 3rd interstellar traveller that has been discovered in our solar system, and it is passing through our corner of space (or so we hope?) Scientists debate its origins, but from a more intuitive and cosmic perspective, many sensitives feel Earth is being observed during this period of acceleration. And those who have this perspective or who believe in this concept of Aliens, or cosmic crafts, are unconsciously in that state of 'wait and watch'. It's a stress... it's the unknown... it's the am i afraid or excited?... it's the disconnect between our reality and the truth... and then theres the nature of how interstellar beings have always been projected and to be perfectly honest, while i'm excited about the evolution of the earth and the open contact that BASHAR talks about in his messages through Darryl Anka i do wonder if i'm evolved enough as a human to be unterrified and the fact that i do wonder this, leads me to know that i am definitely NOT... so while we stare up at the sky, ponder the stars and our visitors... the stress and energetic impact is real.

Interstellar visitors — whether conscious or simply cosmic wanderers — tend to appear during times of profound planetary transition. To me, it’s a reminder that Earth’s shifts are not happening in isolation. We are part of a larger, evolving field of consciousness, and we are never truly alone in it.

♃ Jupiter Retrograde & The Inner Expansion

With Jupiter retrograding (alongside several other planets), we’re being encouraged to look inward, reassess what we value and review the beliefs that shape our sense of purpose. Retrogrades often feel inconvenient on the surface — but they’re some of the most supportive times for recalibration and course correction. The looking inward isn't voluntary either, thats where these emotional outbursts come in, the explosion of triggers, the guilt and the shame after losing our self control over minor things...
Jupiter is a big gassy giant and it's just not interested in playing small when it comes to being visible, so when we think about the impact of that energy on our little bodies which like to be hidden and private... well that combination doesn't go so well.

This is definitely a period of internal expansion, not external. It’s quiet growth. It’s deep truth-telling with ourselves. it's the conversation we dont want to have because it might mean that we are the ones who have to acknowledge fault. Do yourself a favour, get accustomed to the phrase 'i'm sorry, i felt triggered because i haven't worked on how this feels to me... it's not you, it's me.' (just dont use it to break up with someone, thats so cliché)

🌿 A Collective Cracking-Open

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a wave of people reaching out through my social channels and coming into the cottage, all sharing nearly the same experience in different words:

“I don’t feel like myself.”
“Everything feels too much.”
“I can’t get on top of my emotions.”
“My body feels off.”
“I’m overwhelmed for no reason.”

There’s been relationship tension, emotional overload, waves of anxiety, anger, sadness, reactivity and a feeling of disconnection from the normal grounding tools people rely on. Many are trying to sage, journal, meditate or reset their energy the way they usually would — only to find that nothing is shifting.

And this is exactly why: we’re not clearing surface energy right now — we’re SHIFTING deep storage.
The emotional archives. The survival patterns. The generational imprints. The things we subconsciously tucked away in order to cope.
This is not a breakdown.
It’s a breakthrough in progress.

These energies aren't to be cleansed, they need to be shifted... understood and processed.

💗 Impact on the Heart, Sacral & Root Chakras

With everything happening cosmically, the heart, sacral and root chakras are receiving the most pressure. These centres hold our emotional memory, our sense of safety, our creativity, our relationships and the physical responses of the nervous system.

But here’s the key: most people don’t describe their experiences in chakra language — they describe the physical sensations.

People have been telling me they feel heavy in their body, almost weighed down from the inside, with a sudden lack of motivation or a strange drop in their usual drive. There’s a deep tiredness that doesn’t match their daily routine, bloating and heaviness through the gut and lower belly and cravings for comfort foods that leave them confused about why their healthy habits seem so hard to maintain. Then the guilt hits, along with the frustration that they “should” be coping better, even though they can’t quite put their finger on why everything feels so off.

These sensations are physical reflections of heart, sacral and root chakra disruption — but because most people don’t perceive energy the way sensitives do, they simply recognise the body feeling “not right,” reactive or unsettled.

🔮 The Pendulum Glitches & The Energetic Reset

One of the most interesting patterns I’ve seen is how many people have said their pendulum has stopped working properly. Instead of moving smoothly, it hesitates, swings randomly or gives inconsistent responses. This isn’t a sign of lost intuition — it’s a sign of unstable energy flow.

The “valves” of the chakras — the channels that allow energy to move freely — are glitching under the pressure of everything rising to the surface. The pendulum isn’t confused; it’s reading congestion.

I’ve seen this repeatedly during Reiki sessions: the pendulum won’t reflect clear flow until after a deep energetic realignment. Once the field resets, the pendulum responds immediately, the chakras reopen more evenly, the intuition reconnects and the person feels grounded again.

This is why so many of the usual spiritual tools aren’t working right now. Sage, crystals, sound, pendulums — they’re wonderful, but they mostly clear the external energy and thats usually what people pick up and store in their aura... but this is internal, it's stored and shut off emotions. What’s rising now is deeper, older and heavier, and it needs deeper healing to move. and we can do this ourselves - to a point - depending on who we are... but the best treatment is to see your shamanic healer, your reiki master or your favourite kinesiologist because the depths of these shifts require someone to pull them out without resistance to what they're linked to.

🌌 What This Moment Truly Means

We’re in a passage where:

• solar flares are pushing old density up and out

• retrogrades are encouraging review and recalibration

• interstellar movement is shifting the energetic landscape

• the lower chakras are releasing years of emotional pressure

• and the heart is opening wider than ever before

It’s not easy work. It’s raw and messy at times. But it’s incredibly powerful.

If your life feels like it’s unravelling, it may actually be reorganising itself into something truer, clearer and more aligned. Take the pause. Be alone for a bit. Centre your gravity.

This is a season of awakening, recalibration and deep energetic repatterning.
Your body knows what it’s doing.
Your energy knows how to rise and descend.
And you’re moving through this with far more strength and wisdom than you realise.
