I’ve just started practicing remote viewing and I seem really good at color. In my first practice session I got color right 10/12 times! I’ve always been an HSP/Empath. (HSP = highly sensitive person) I can’t wait to practice again.
Raven is the daughter of Trigon, an other-dimensional being of great power and great evil. Raven's mother, Arella, is human.
Aware of Trigon's desire to subjugate and destroy Earth, Raven tries to alert the Justice League. However, Zatanna, sensing the evil of Trigon through Raven, warns the League away from her.
In desperation, Raven uses her powers as an empath to manipulate young heroes into forming the New Teen Titans, patterned after the original group. The team consisted of Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy (then known as Changeling).
Though Raven had manipulated the others, her motivation was for Earth to be protected. The Teen Titans came to understand these things and the team, though formed in guile, became a family.
With the Teen Titans, Raven battled a number of villains but, all the while, she watched and waited for Trigon's coming. As that time drew closer and Trigon's power and presence was more acutely felt by Raven, there were times when she was overpowered by him and took a form resembling him.
The Teen Titans fought for her during these times and never turned her away or lost trust in her.
When the battle with Trigon finally came, the team had bonded so that, despite Trigon's power and despite setbacks, losses, and very hard lessons along the way, the Teen Titans were victorious. Though they could not defeat Trigon, such is his power, they were able to deny him Earth.
Raven was cleansed of Trigon's control and influence.
As the daughter of the inter-dimensional destroyer Trigon, Raven is very powerful and has displayed a vast amount of abilities. Because Raven's nature is intensely emotion-based, her abilities have fluctuated wildly in power over her career, depending on the circumstances.
She is firstly an empath, able to sense and alter the emotions of others. She can induce calm, suppress negativity, and even make someone fall in love with her.
By absorbing the pain of the wounded into herself, she can induce rapid healing for the affected person while she suffers in their place.
Raven can astral project a solid black energy form that takes the shape of a bird, called her soul-self. Her soul-self can travel long distances, become intangible, and is able to telepathically communicate. It can act as a shield as it can absorb a limited amount of energy and solid matter, regurgitating them before reintegrating with Raven.
Using her soul-self, she can convert her physical body and carry or teleport herself and others over a limited distance.
Her soul-self can mentally subdue at least one person by enveloping them inside of itself. Raven's soul-self could initially stay outside her body for exactly five minutes; failure to reintegrate in time would cause mental torment for her, though she eventually overcame this limitation.
She has displayed the ability to control, manipulate and or generate pure shadows and darkness.
Raven can manipulate energy, emotions and, on rare occasions, even time.
Her empathic control is her primary ability and manifests in different variations, from causing supremely destructive pain, inducing tension, fear-based illusions, and stealing emotions from others.
Before she realized that she could never stop Trigon on her own, Raven studied magic and has displayed sorcerous abilities, such as inducing unconsciousness with a touch, releasing balls of fire "within the folds of her cloak" or hurling electric blasts strong enough to take down the Titans.
She was seen to completely annihilate the demon army of Rankor numbering more than three thousand individuals and which contained powerful individual demons that had taken the Titans down in ambushes previously.
Raven also has limited precognition, which allows her to predict future events that are about to happen, although this happens involuntarily and infrequently.
Though not a physical fighter, Raven has studied with Robin/Nightwing and has proven, when necessary, that she is not without hand-to-hand skills.
⚡ Happy 🎯 Heroclix 💫 Friday! 👽

EMPREINTES MOUVANTES, DANSER GIACOMETTI - Le Fils d’Adrien danse
lefilsdadrien.ca/creation/empreintes-mouvantes-danser-gia...
EMPREINTES MOUVANTES, DANSER GIACOMETTI, une installation chorégraphique du Fils d’Adrien danse se déploiera au MNBAQ à plusieurs moments pendant l’exposition Giacometti du 8 février au 13 mai 2018.
L’objectif principal de ce projet est de créer une œuvre permettant de dissoudre les frontières entre le visiteur et l’artiste, plaçant le public au centre de l’œuvre.
En proposant cette forme artistique originale le MNBAQ et Le fils d’Adrien danse souhaitent proposer une approche croisée innovante en direction du public et ce, à travers la rencontre de l’art visuel et de la danse dans un contexte muséal.
Cette proposition en danse contemporaine mettra en perspective différents aspects de l’œuvre de Giacometti à partir de deux de ses œuvres majeures : La Place et L’homme qui marche.
Le fils d’Adrien danse, souhaite à la fois compléter, ouvrir, renouveler et apporter d’autres pistes de compréhension des œuvres de Giacometti par la médiation du mouvement.
En proposant au public de s’engager dans cette expérience de proximité avec la danse, ce projet, en plus de proposer une nouvelle façon de faire dialoguer art visuel et danse, invite à une parole et à une vision plus libre sur ces formes d’arts, à une participation plus intime des publics et à une découverte de l’art chorégraphique dans un contexte In situ.
HAROLD RHÉAUME ET GIACOMETTI
Les points de rencontre entre l’œuvre de Giacometti et la démarche artistique d’Harold Rhéaume sont nombreux.
Tout deux s’interrogent et s’intéressent à la condition humaine, à sa force jusqu’à son plus grand dénuement.
Chez Rhéaume comme chez Giacometti la forme trouve sa puissance de métamorphose dans l’expérience de la vulnérabilité et du vide.
Déterminés à se tenir debout malgré les adversités de la matière et le foisonnement de gestes qui les constituent, les “figures” de Giacometti, tout comme les interprètes de Rhéaume, solitaires ou en groupe, forment des relations les uns avec les autres faisant apparaître l’espace qu’ils sculptent.
Le tout dans une très grande simplicité, une attitude physique et une empathie qui parle et s’imprime chez celui qui la reçoit, jusqu’à bousculer et transformer son propre mouvement.

La pauvreté me dévisage
et je ne sais pas
si elle vient de moi
ou de cet enfant
assis sur le trottoir,
tandis que sa voix
et la mienne se perdent
dans la rue qui bourdonne
comme pour mieux nous faire saisir
ce silence d’empathie
qui bourgeonne de nos deux coeurs.

Yessss! Donald Trump, you're fired.
Now America can be great again.
La démocratie a enfin dégagé un individu menteur, tricheur et dépourvu de toute empathie qui, n'étant qu'une starlette de téléréalité, n'était pas à sa place et laisse une population désunie aux Etats Unis.
Il reste cependant beaucoup à faire, surtout en matière d'éducation. De nombreux citoyens, en grande majorité dans les vastes campagnes, sont ignorants et naïfs au point de gober les moindres "fake news". Cela pourrait faire sourire, mais, lorsqu'ils invoquent des motifs religieux pour s'armer, ils sont aussi dangereux que les intégristes fanatiques qui trahissent une autre religion ailleurs dans le monde.

Jean Elaine Grey was born the second daughter of John and Elaine Grey. She had an older sister, Sara Grey-Bailey. John Grey was a professor at Bard College in upstate New York. Depictions of Jean's childhood and her relations with her family have shown a stable, loving family life growing up.
Emergence of powers and joining the X-Men
Jean's mutant powers of telepathy and telekinesis first manifest when her best friend is hit by a car and killed. Jean mentally links with her friend and nearly dies as well. The event leaves her comatose, and she is brought back to consciousness when her parents seek the help of powerful mutant telepath, Charles Xavier. Xavier blocks her telepathy until she is old enough to be able to control it, leaving her with access only to her telekinetic powers.
Xavier later recruits her as a teenager to be part of his X-Men team as "Marvel Girl", the team's sole female member. After several missions with the X-Men, Xavier removes Jean's mental blocks and she is able to use and control her telepathic powers. She begins a relationship with teammate Cyclops, which persists as her main romantic relationship, though she also develops a mutual secret attraction to a later addition to the team, Wolverine.
Phoenix Force and first death
During an emergency mission in space, the X-Men find their shuttle damaged. Jean pilots the shuttle back to Earth, but is exposed to fatal levels of radiation. Dying, but determined to save Cyclops and her friends, Jean calls out for help and is answered by the cosmic entity, the Phoenix Force.
The Phoenix Force, one of the most powerful life forces in the universe, is moved by Jean's wish to save herself and her friends. It takes the form of a duplicate body to house Jean's psyche. The duplication is so exact that the Phoenix Force believes itself to be Jean Grey, and places Jean's dying body in a healing cocoon. This cocoon is later described as a Phoenix Egg.
The ship crashes in Jamaica Bay, with the other X-Men unharmed. The Phoenix Force, as Jean Grey, emerges in a new costume and adopts the new codename "Phoenix", with immense cosmic powers. Meanwhile, the cocoon containing the real Jean Grey sinks to the bottom of the bay, unnoticed.
Phoenix continues her life as Jean Grey with the other X-Men, joining them on missions and saving the universe. During "The Dark Phoenix Saga", Phoenix becomes overwhelmed and corrupted by her first taste of evil and transforms into a force of total destruction, called "Dark Phoenix", inadvertently killing the inhabitants of a planetary system, after consuming its star, and jeopardizing the entire universe. However, Jean's personality manages to take control and Phoenix commits suicide to ensure the universe's safety.
Revival
Upon its suicide by way of a disintegration ray, the Phoenix Force disperses into its original form and a fragment locates the still-healing Jean at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. In trying to bond with her, Jean senses its memories of death and destruction as Dark Phoenix and rejects it, causing it to bond with and animate a lifeless clone of Jean Grey created by the villain Mister Sinister.
Sinister created the clone to couple with Cyclops to create genetically superior mutants. Named "Madelyne Pryor", the unaware clone meets Cyclops in a situation engineered by Sinister and the two fall in love, marry, and have a child, Nathan Christopher Summers. Meanwhile, the cocoon is discovered and retrieved by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Jean emerges with no memory of the actions of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix.
The Avengers and Fantastic Four tell her of what happened and that she was believed dead until now. She is reunited with the original X-Men and convinces them to form the new superhero team X-Factor, reusing her "Marvel Girl" codename.
Madelyne is angered over Cyclops's decision to lead X-Factor and neglect his family. Though Jean encourages Cyclops to return to Madelyne, he finds their house abandoned and assumes that Madelyne has left him and taken their infant son.
Cyclops returns to X-Factor and he and Jean continue their relationship, but the Phoenix Force's impersonation, and his marrying Madelyne, damaged their mutual trust. The team's adventures continue throughout the series, culminating in the line-wide "Inferno" crossover. Madelyne reappears, now nearly insane and with powers awakened by a demonic pact, calling herself the Goblyn Queen.
Learning of her true identity and purpose as a clone created by Mister Sinister drove her completely insane and she plans to sacrifice Nathan Christopher to achieve greater power and unleash literal Hell on Earth. While attempting to stop her, Jean is reunited with the other X-Men, who are happy to learn that she is alive, particularly Wolverine, reminding Jean of her unaddressed feelings for him.
Jean and Madelyne confront each other, and Madelyne attempts to kill them both. Jean manages to survive only by absorbing the remnant of the Phoenix Force housed within Madelyne, giving her both Madelyne's memories and the Phoenix's memories from "The Dark Phoenix Saga".
Return to the X-Men and marriage to Cyclops
Unsure of herself since returning to life, Jean finds possessing the Phoenix Force and Madelyne's memories to be difficult. Cyclops proposes to her and she meets her alternate future daughter Rachel Summers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force), but Jean rejects them both out of the feeling that they indicate that her life is predetermined.
Jean had learned during the Inferno event that her rejecting the Phoenix Force caused Madelyne to wake; Cyclops admits to Susan Storm Richards that Jean sometimes wishes that the Fantastic Four had not found her, and that he does not know how to communicate with her.
When X-Factor unites with the X-Men, Jean joins the Gold Team, led by Storm. During this time, she no longer uses a codename, instead being referred to by her civilian name. After some time, she makes up with Rachel, welcoming her into her life, and proposes to Cyclops and the two marry.
On their honeymoon, the couple is immediately psychically transported 2000 years into the future to raise Cyclops's son Nathan, who had been transported to the future as an infant in hopes of curing him of a deadly virus. Jean adopts the identity of "Redd" along with Cyclops ("Slym") and they raise Nathan Christopher for twelve years before they are sent back into their bodies on their wedding honeymoon.
Jean learns that a time-displaced Rachel had used her powers to transport them to the future to protect Nathan, and per Rachel's request, Jean adopts the codename "Phoenix" once again to establish it as a symbol of good after all the bad it had caused.
Meanwhile, her psychic and telekinetic abilities begin to grow and she begins using the iconic green and gold Phoenix costume again. Jean also met another alternate future child of hers and Scott's: the immensely powerful Nathan Grey, who accidentally revived the psionic ghost of Madelyne Pryor, leading to another confrontation between the two women.
Onslaught
In Bishop's original timeline before he ends up in the present he finds the X-Men's war room and finds a garbled distress signal from Jean about a traitor destroying the X-Men from within. Meanwhile, in the present, the X-Men begin to hear increasing news about a malevolent entity called Onslaught.
Jean first sees Onslaught as a psionic image with the rest of the X-Men after Onslaught coerces Gateway to kidnap Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Iceman. He later appears to her again in a similar way after rescuing her and Gambit from Bastion and offers her a chance to join him.
Onslaught makes his first full appearance to Jean on the astral plane and shows her how humanity is closing in on mutants as well as revealing that Xavier was in love with her while she was a student to convince her to join him. He then telepathically brands his name to her mind when she refused and asks him his name.
When Juggernaut comes to the mansion with information about Onslaughts true identity but has a mental block preventing him from divulging it, Jean enters his mind and helps him to remember who Onslaught really is and to her horror she discovers that Onslaught is really Professor X, having gone insane ever since wiping Magneto's mind.
Professor Xavier calls the X-Men together for a meeting and Jean tries unsuccessfully to rally the X-Men against him before he manifests Onslaught. While Onslaught easily overtakes the rest of the X-Men, Jean escapes to the war room and sends out the distress signal that Bishop found in the future.
After a massive battle against Jean and the rest of the X-Men, Onslaught escapes to carry out his plans. After Onslaught nearly kills the X-Men they team up with the Avengers to make a plan to stop him, knowing full well that it may come down to them killing Xavier if the world is to survive.
Jean accompanies Cyclops, Archangel, and Psylocke to Muir Island where they and Moira McTaggert discover the Xavier Protocols, secret plans that Xavier made to kill any of the individual X-Men should anyone become a threat against the world. Meanwhile,
Jean's earlier distress signal makes it to X-Factor, Excalibur, and X-Force. After returning to New York, Jean works closely with Reed Richards to help build up defenses against Onslaught as well as to help create the psionic armor that could block Xavier's telepathic powers as seen in the Xavier Protocols.
When Jean senses that Xavier has been freed from Onslaught and is going to confront him on his own, she and Cyclops bring together the rest of the X-Men to back him up. The rest of the Avengers and Fantastic Four join them in a final stand against Onslaught before he completely destroys the world.
In a final act of desperation Jean finds Hulk and locks away Bruce Banner's mind, leaving only the Hulk in control so he can fight Onslaught unencumbered. With the vast majority of earth's heroes missing and assumed dead after Onslaught is finally defeated, Jean and Cyclops open their home to Quicksilver and his daughter and try to help the X-Men to get their lives back together.
New X-Men
Following Cyclops's possession by the mutant villain Apocalypse and apparent death, Jean continues with the X-Men, but is distraught by the loss of her husband. She later learns that she is an "Omega-level" mutant with unlimited potential.
Jean begins to suspect that Cyclops may still be alive and with the help of Nathan Summers (now the aged superhero "Cable"), is able to locate and free Cyclops of his possession by Apocalypse. The couple return to the X-Men as part of the Xavier Institute's teaching staff to a new generation of mutants.
While Jean finds she is slowly able to tap into the powers of the Phoenix Force once again, her marriage to Scott begins to fail. Jean and Wolverine address their long-unspoken mutual attraction, deciding it is best not to act on their feelings; Cyclops grows further alienated from Jean due to her growing powers and institute responsibilities and seeks consolation from the telepathic Emma Frost to address his disillusionment and his experiences while possessed by Apocalypse.
These therapy sessions lead to a "psychic affair" between Scott and Emma. Jean's discovery of the psychic affair results in a confrontation between her and Emma, though ultimately Jean realizes that Emma truly loves Scott.
Second death
In a final confrontation with a traitor at the institute (the X-Men's teammate Xorn, posing as Magneto) Jean fully realizes and assumes complete control of the powers of the Phoenix Force, but is killed in a last-ditch lethal attack by Xorn.
Jean dies, telling Scott "to live". However, after her funeral, Scott rejects Emma and her offer to run the school together. This creates a dystopian future where all life and natural evolution is under assault by the infectious, villainous, sentient bacteria "Sublime".
Jean is resurrected in this future timeline and becomes the fully realized White Phoenix of the Crown, using the abilities of the Phoenix Force to defeat Sublime and eliminate the dystopic future by reaching back in time and telling Cyclops to move on.
This leads him to accept Emma's love and her offer to run the school together. Jean then reconciles with Cyclops and fully bonds with the Phoenix Force and ascends to a higher plane of existence called the "White Hot Room".
Endsong
A weakened Phoenix Force returns to reanimate Jean. Jean tries to convince the Phoenix Force to let her go so they can return to the White Hot Room together, but once again the Phoenix Force takes over. Jean lets Wolverine find her and tries to convince him to kill her again before the Phoenix does more damage.
The Shi'ar track the Phoenix Force and make an alliance with Storm to find her and defeat her. Jean takes Wolverine to the North Pole before the Shi'ar can kill her and convinces him to kill her. He stabs her numerous times but Phoenix keeps reanimating her, prompting Jean to dive deep into the ice and freeze herself.
The Phoenix Force leaves her body and once again assumes Jean's form to tempt Cyclops to attack her so she can absorb his optic blasts and become strong again. When the Phoenix Force merges with and overwhelms Emma Frost, Cyclops frees Jean from the ice. Once freed Jean ejects the Phoenix from Emma and accepts that she is one with the Phoenix Force.
After feeling the love from the X-Men, the Phoenix relents and returns with Jean back to the White Hot Room. Before she departs, Jean and Cyclops share a telepathic emotional farewell.
Postmortem manifestations
Though she had yet to fully return, the Phoenix Force and Jean continued to manifest themselves, particularly the Phoenix through the red-haired, green-eyed "mutant messiah" who slightly resembles Jean named Hope Summers, and Jean briefly appears in a vision to Emma Frost from the White Hot Room, warning the X-Men to "prepare".
She again appears in a vision to Cyclops when he is overwhelmed by the power of Dark Phoenix, helping him abandon the power so that it can pass on to its true host. After Nightcrawler is fatally wounded by the Crimson Pirates, Jean appears to him along with Amanda Sefton and the recently deceased Wolverine to help coax him back to life.
Jean's spirit begins to manifest in a more straightforward and aggressive manner to the time-displaced Jean from an alternate timeline, seemingly training her for the arrival of the Phoenix. However, after the younger Jean begins to ignore her, she possesses the time displaced Jean and uses her as a means to ambush Emma Frost.
Return
Strange psych occurrences around the world, which include a large bird flaring out from the sun and an explosion on the moon, raise red flags for the X-Men, who quickly launch an investigation of these events.
After a string of bizarre encounters with familiar enemies, many of them considered deceased, the X-Men come to one conclusion: the Phoenix Force is back on Earth. The X-Men also discover that psychics are going missing or falling ill, which prompts the team to investigate the grave of Jean Grey. As they find the coffin of their long-dead teammate empty, they race to locate the Phoenix before it can find a suitable host.
As it turns out, with the time-displaced teen Jean Grey out of the Phoenix Force's way, the cosmic entity has already resurrected the present adult Jean Grey. However, she doesn't recall her life as a mutant and an X-Man, and terrible visions from her previous life have left Jean unsure of the difference between reality and fiction.
As she lies inside of what appears to be a Phoenix Egg, the X-Men theorize that the strange psych occurrences are subconscious cries for help made by Jean Grey and that they must try to stop the Phoenix from merging with their old friend.
Old Man Logan is able to make Jean Grey remember her true life and she learns about the fate of her family and several of her friends, among them Cyclops. As Jean faces the Phoenix Force, she is finally able to convince the cosmic entity to stop bringing her back and let her go. Alive once again, Jean is reunited with her friends as the Phoenix Force journeys back to space.
Restored to life, Jean gathers some of the greatest minds on Earth together so that she can read their minds to plan her next move. Recognizing that there has been a sudden surge in anti-mutant sentiment, to the point where there are plans to abort pregnancies if the mutant gene is detected, Jean announces her plans to establish a more official mutant nation, making it clear that she will not establish a geographic location for said nation as past examples make it clear that doing so just makes mutants a target. To support her in this goal, she assembles a team including Nightcrawler, X-23 and Namor, but is unaware that her actions are being observed by Cassandra Nova.
House of X / Dawn of X
The adult Jean returns to using her original Marvel Girl codename and wears her second green-and-yellow Marvel Girl costume. She is sent as part of a strike team to outer space to stop a satellite near the sun from being used as a Sentinel factory.
Sentinels crush Jean's escape pod and she dies, but is resurrected into a cloned body. She is also a member of the Quiet Council, Krakoa's provisional government. Following the events of House of X, Jean briefly joins the Krakoan incarnation of X-Force, before resigning in protest of Beast's actions in Terra Verde.
Following through the tournament for the new host of the Phoenix Force, the Phoenix chose Maya Lopez, the hero known as Echo. As Maya, Jean Grey called out to her from Krakoa with a word of advice.
After Maya took on the Phoenix Force, Jean ordered Wolverine to leave her alone and return home, as he said he would kill anyone who took on the Phoenix Force. She then reached out to Maya as she flew off, and told the young woman not to go on this journey alone as the Phoenix prefers loners and isolated figures it can better influence to carry out its own agenda. Jean also told Maya if she wants to keep her soul as the new Phoenix, she has to make the Phoenix her own.
Powers and abilities
Jean Grey is an Omega-level mutant, and at her highest and strongest potential was fully merged with the Phoenix Force and with it was able to defeat even Galactus.
Empathy
Jean is a powerful empath, as she can feel and manipulate emotions of other people, as shown when her power first emerged as she felt her friend Annie Richardson slowly dying. Jean can also connect people's minds to the feelings of others and make them feel the pain they inflicted.
Telepathy
When her powers first manifested, Jean was unable to cope with her telepathic abilities, forcing Professor Charles Xavier to suppress her access to it altogether. Instead, he chose to train her in the use of her psychokinetic abilities while allowing her telepathy to grow at its natural rate before reintroducing it. When the Professor hid to prepare for the Z'Nox, he reopened Jean's telepathic abilities, which was initially explained by writers as Xavier 'sharing' some of his telepathy with her.
As an alpha-level telepath, Jean Grey can detect and read the thoughts of others, project her own thoughts into other's minds, form psychic links with other beings, control others' minds so as to manipulate their physical functions, mentally stun opponents with bolts of pure psionic force, cast near-flawless mental illusions, and project her mind and the minds of others onto the astral plane.
At close range, she can manipulate almost any number of minds; however, she can only take full possession of another's mind one at a time and can only do so if she is within that being's physical presence.
Jean is also one of the few telepaths skilled enough to communicate with animals (animals with high intelligence, such as dolphins, dogs, and ravens). As a side effect of her telepathy, she has an eidetic memory. Jean was able, through telepathic therapy with the comatose Jessica Jones, to grant Jessica immunity to the Purple Man's mind control abilities, despite his powers being chemical in nature rather than psychic.
When Jean absorbed Psylocke's specialized telepathic powers, her own telepathy was increased to the point that she could physically manifest her telepathy as a psionic firebird whose claws could inflict both physical and mental damage. She briefly developed a psychic shadow form like Psylocke's, with a gold Phoenix emblem over her eye instead of the Crimson Dawn mark possessed by Psylocke.
Jean briefly lost her telekinesis to Psylocke during this exchange, but her telekinetic abilities later came back in full and at a far stronger level than before.[volume & issue needed] It was later stated that Jean has been an Omega Level telepath.
Telekinesis
Jean possesses a high-level of telekinetic ability that enables her to psionically levitate and rapidly move about all manner of animate and inanimate matter. She can use her telekinetic abilities on herself or others to simulate the power of flight or levitation, stimulate molecules to increase friction, create protective force fields out of psychokinetic energy, or project her telekinetic energy as purely concussive force.
The outer limits of her telekinetic power have never been clearly established, though she was capable of lifting approximately fifty tons of rubble with some strain. Jean was later stated to have become an Omega Level Telekinetic.
Psychic Energy Synthesis
Jean's younger self who had been brought from the past into the present by an older Hank McCoy eventually found an entirely new usage of her powers separate from the Phoenix Force. The teenage Marvel Girl learned she has the ability to harness ambient psychic energy and channel it into powerful blasts of force, which are a combination of both her telepathy and telekinesis.
Its potency is such that she can match and overpower the likes of Gladiator, magistrate of the Shi'ar, with relative ease. When using this ability Jean's whole body glows with pink psychic energy, obscuring her human form.
Telekinetic weapons
Under the tutelage of Psylocke, teenage Marvel Girl has learned the ability to create psionic weapons that damage a target either physically, mentally or both in some point. She showed skill in constructing multiple types of psionic weapons that differ in size, length and power which she uses in combat.
Phoenix Force
The relationship between Jean Grey and the Phoenix Force (and the nature of the powers she has) is portrayed in a variety of ways throughout the character's history. In the initial plotline of the Phoenix being a manifestation of Jean's true potential, these powers are considered her own, becoming Earth 616's first cosmic superheroine.
However, since the retcon of the Phoenix as a separate entity from Jean Grey, depictions of these powers vary; these include Jean being one of many hosts to the Phoenix and "borrowing" its "Phoenix powers" during this time, being a unique host to the Phoenix, and being one with the Phoenix.
She is later described as the only one currently able to hold the title of "White Phoenix of the Crown" among the many past, present, and future hosts of the Phoenix. Jean — both young and adult versions — is also the only character ever to force the Phoenix against its own cosmic will to do anything while not presently a host to its powers.
In one instance Jean forcibly ripped the Phoenix out of Emma Frost and imposed its status upon herself. Young Jean was able to keep her psyche anchored in the Phoenix's mind postmortem despite the Phoenix's own efforts to forcibly remove her after it murdered her. Jean then subsequently forced the Phoenix to resurrect her after manipulating the Phoenix's mental landscape against it.
Over the years, Jean's abilities while bonded to the Phoenix Force have fluctuated, but the Women of Marvel: Celebrating Seven Decades Handbook has detailed what Jean is capable of as Phoenix:
While empowered by the Phoenix Force, Grey has total telekinetic control of matter at the molecular level, allowing her to manipulate atomic structures on a universal scale. She can generate any form of energy in seemingly unlimited amounts, as well as absorb energy from sources as great as a supernova or even convert her physical form to pure energy and back again.
She can also exist in virtually any environment without harm and create space/time warps to travel through hyperspace or traverse the timestream, and her telepathic abilities are also vastly enhanced. When using her power, the Phoenix Force will manifest itself around Grey in the form of a bird of cosmic flames, the size of the bird varying with the amount of energy she is using.
These flames can even manifest in seemingly impossible situations, such as the vacuum of space or underwater. This fire apparently does not require oxygen to burn, and burns so intensely that matter is consumed without by-products such as ash. The cosmic fire is a literal punctuation to the Phoenix's purpose to "burn away what doesn't work", as well as being described as "burning through lies and deception". The Phoenix Force can also resurrect the dead under some conditions, and absorb the life force from other sentient beings to bolster its own.
The Phoenix Force also seems to render its host unaging and, at least in some adaptations, enhances the physical strength of its avatar to superhuman levels; in certain incarnations, Jean, namely while acting as Dark Phoenix, seemed to possess some level of superhuman strength.
Resurrection
For one reason or another, Jean Grey (both young and old) has, on more than one occasion, been repeatedly resurrected by either the Phoenix or apparently her sheer force of will. In some depictions, these resurrections are immediately after she or whoever she is reviving is killed, while other depictions indicate that a resurrection must occur at a "correct" time, sometimes taking a century.
During the height of the Psych Wars, Young Jean was able to forcibly make the Phoenix Force restore her to life, despite the Phoenix's adamant resolve not to do so, completely recreating her body after it had been vaporized.
After her body was taken over and completely devoured by a Poison, a small part of Jean's mind survived and, despite itself, was able to infect the whole Poison Hive and destroy it from the inside out, subsequently using nothing but her mind to reconstruct her body. This leaves Jean believing that she may not even be human anymore. This is not the first time Jean was resurrected without the Phoenix; in one instance, she was even able to fully resurrect herself after being clinically dead completely independent of the Phoenix Force.
In their most recent meeting, Jean tells the Phoenix Force that she should have died on the shuttle, and asks it to not resurrect her again.
Miscellaneous abilities
Jean Grey is a trained pilot and proficient unarmed combatant. She also has some degree of teaching ability, experience as a fashion model, and training in psychology.

Urf! While we are most often pleased and, at times, even amazed at the quality of these very small HeroClix figurines, the Jean Grey is not good. The head and face are far too large and that, combined with her expression, makes Jean look like a gargoyle. The paint ops are sloppy as well. Okay, ending complaints now.

My super empath son. Aspergers is a part of his beautiful self. He is often mystified by the world. He is also a mystery to me, how he thinks and sees the world around him. He teaches me so much and his heart is huge, full of love and compassion for everyone.

Another fun-filled afternoon of adventure in yet another fantastically beautiful abandoned place. It was absolutely the perfect place for a shoot with clowns. Make no mistake...I despise clowns. They are creepy and frightening and I do not find them in the least bit funny...but like I said...this place needed clowns to complete the look, with one room painted like a circus tent and one bathroom that was red and white stripes like a box of popcorn!
I get this feeling each time I am introduced to these places that they need a champion to rescue them...someone that can see their beauty and bring them home to a place like a farm for the beautiful but abandoned. Like people that rescue cats and dogs...these places need someone’s help and place to be cared for. It is the curse of an empath that feels too deeply sometimes for her own good
This amazing house was built in 1925...on 12+ acres of land. There is a lovely (in model home condition) 2 bedroom guest cottage on the property and a huge barn. There are tennis courts and a child's treehouse that is fantastic...all set high on a hill facing east for sunrise over the sloping property...and sunsets through the ridge of pines that rises up behind the home.
In spite of it’s odd paint colors inside, the rooms are stunning with built-ins and fireplaces and curved staircases. I always leave these places with a bit of a sad heart that such beauty is laying in waste and fading away, and I am always grateful that I can capture them for others to see.

Et comme je suis empathe et nous sommes tous frères, non ?
Tous les soucis de ce pauvre Arnault...

"I'll tell you something right now
I'd rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
I'll tell you something about my good name
It's mine alone to disgrace
I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing"

Thanks Jon for the name suggestion. The Wretched is group of villains brought together by V.I.L.E. to combat the Five Wonders. Each member of Wretched has fought a member of Five Wonders before, with them ending up losing the fight. They all have a score to settle, and see this as the perfect way to get even.
Alias: Reptile
Real Name: Tanner O'Brian
Gender: Male
Alignment: Villain
Powers: Hardened Skin, Superhuman Strength, Healing Factor, Increased Durability, Enhanced senses.
Backstory: The result of one of the many secret Genetech experiments being conducted in Cardinal City. All sense of humanity was lost in that moment, with only a reptile remaining. He would go on a rampage, killing dozens, injuring hundreds more. One of the first villains the Judgement branch of Archon fought, Reptile would eventually go down, and be imprisoned for many years, until he was broken out of prison by Mayhem. Thanks to a device given to him by Mayhem, he's able to keep his reptilian hyde side in check, provided he does jobs for them every now and then. Since all society ever sees of him is a monster, he earns his keep as a hired muscle, doing jobs for whoever, so long as they pay. Since he spends most of his time in Reptile form, he has a mostly carnivorous diet.
Alias: Joyride
Real Name: Willa
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: Willa is a thrill seeker at heart, just doing things for the fun of it. Every since she was a teenager, she's been really into taking cars out for a joyride, even if they aren't hers. She often frequents The Wheels (a central hub for car thieves). As one that loves to have fun, she also celebrates her achievements by going to a variety of parties held throughout the city. As she is one of the 4 other personalities of William Robertson (Virtue), she does get frustrated when she has to take a "backseat" of sorts when he's in control. Her powers allow her to transform vehicles to her will through using nanites. She can improve the car's speed, design, or really anything about it to suit her fancy. Though if she's not in contact, or nearby, these changes get reverted.
Alias: Rose-Red
Gender: Female
Alignment: Villain
Backstory: Polar opposite sisters, with Snow-White having the typical grace and elegance that goes with being a princess, and Rose-Red being more rough around the edges, more likely to get into fights. In fact, Rose-Red got into many fights, even when the odds weren't in her favor. But she always had an ace up her sleeve. Anytime she touches someone, she can tell how they are doing physically. So if there are any broken bones, she'll know. It helps to find her opponent's weak points, so that she always has the upper edge in a fight. Snow-White's ability also works with a touch, but it's to tell how someone's doing emotionally, essentially an empath. Snow uses this to help her friends, and others when they are going through hardships. When they are transported to Cardinal City, Snow is adored by those she meets, as she reminds them of a storybook character with the same name Though the only similarities between the Snow White in that story and Snow-White that's standing in front of them is that they have the same name, and they've both encountered dwarves. But Snow-White was cursed, while Snow White lived with all of the dwarves. With Snow's new found fame, Rose-Red fell to the wayside, becoming jealous of her sister. This led to her turning to the wrong people, and soon after that, she developed a drug problem. She continues fighting her way, trying to become the top fighter in all of Cardinal City.
Alias: Quotidian
Name: John
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: A sound technician that used to work for Cameron Cross, but he never was treated with respect that he rightfully deserved. It didn't help things that Cross was forgotten after his first and only single "No Chances", which meant John would be out of a job. As the years went on, John became determined to get his revenge on Cross. So when he first heard of Bonzer, he instantly knew that it was Cross. John would eventually steal a prototype suit which he later modifies to look like Bonzer's, just with some slight inverting of colours, using more green, instead of pink/magenta. This suit has an optic blast function, as well as hover jets. John keeps tinkering with the suit, adding more functions as the time goes on, and he gains more resources. His criminal activity helps pay for the materials, as well as his own well being.
Alias: Glitch
Real Name: N/A
Gender: Male
Alignment: Villain
Powers: Glitching. Basically powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Glitching . Only difference is that he doesn't have the logic defiance application of this power.
Backstory: Glitch would first discover Rave's music in his early teenage years, with him becoming more and more obsessed as time went on. This lead to him creating his own livestreaming account, Glitchinthemainframe, where he'd talk about everyday things. It gave him an outlet to vent his frustrations. But the viewership was limited, with Rave getting all the potential viewership with her heroics, and music videos. He wants to be famous, so that she will take notice. This twisted fascination grew, to the point where he would start livestreaming himself committing crimes, in the hopes that she would come stop him. He's been able to get away from low tiered vigilantes through his glitching abilities.

Moi et la Maladie....
Moi, qui travaille en déficience intellectuelle, une partie de mon rôle est de faire tomber les tabous, d'amener la société à intégrer de mieux en mieux les gens différents.
Ben voilà que depuis vraiment longtemps je suis en dépression. Y a des facteurs autour de moi qui ont contribué à m'y enfoncer comme dans des sables mouvants.
Qu'on ne vienne pas me dire qu'il fallait que je me donne un coup de pied au cul! Pcq je m'en donnais au moins un chaque jour. Et y a peut-être des journées où je m'en suis envoyés une dizaine.
C'est quand même tout un préjugé de penser que la personne en dépression n'a qu'a se dire que la vie est belle et que tout ira bien.
Mais il est bien ancré dans la tête de plusieurs.
Des gens autour de moi qui me demandent: "T'es tu en vacances" Et moi de répondre un oui évasif plutôt que d'admettre publiquement que j'en suis à 18 mois d'arrêt de travail. Pas trop valorisant. Pas de quoi être fière. Mais ça ne devrait pas non plus me rendre honteuse.
J'ai fait un petit (énorme) pas ajh en admettant publiquement que je suis en traitement avec un psychiatre. Ouch! Coup de poing en pleine gueule ça! Moi je vois un psychiatre! Ben oui! La psychologue c'était ok de le dire. C'est cool de nos jours de voir une psychologue. Mais psychiatre c'est pas pareil. D'ailleurs quand ma doc m'a proposé pour la première fois une référence avec un psychiatre j'ai carrément refusé. Moi voir un psychiatre???? Ben voyons donc!!! Quelques semaines plus tard, c'est moi qui ai demandé à ma doc cette référence. J'avais apprivoisé l'idée dans ma tête. J'avais dédramatiser. Et j'avais, surtout, accepté que j'avais besoin d'une aide plus spécialisée que celle de mon doc. Il y a 3 semaines j'ai enfin eu mon premier RV avec le psychiatre. Moi qui les perçoit tous comme des personnes qui se croient au-dessus de Dieu, j'ai eu le plaisir d'en rencontré un qui est gentil, empathique, qui me parlait d'égal à égale et qui m'a fait un bien fou en me disant: " T"en fais pas Sylvie,,,tu vas retrouver la Sylvie d'avant"
J'ai eu les larmes aux yeux d'entrendre ça.
Et vous savez pas quoi hein? Depuis ce temps j'ai un nouveau médicament. Et c'est VRAI que je me retrouve tranquillement. Un plus de concentration par ci, un peu plus d'attention par là, fatigue diminuée et en plus, la cerise, envie de retrouver ma clientèle.
C'Est le summun ça.
Mais bref, je suis une personne avec un problème de santé mentale et j'ai besoin d'un psychiatre pour m'aider. Ouf! Pas facile à admettre.
Virée moto-photos avec ti-nounours. On s'est rendu au Mont St-Joseph... Un peu plus de 1000 mètres d'altitude.
Mon gentil nounours a réussit à prendre des photos de moi comme j'en voulais depuis longtemps.

Meanwhile, back at the Clock team room in the Queen's Castle...
Mari: The disturbance that woke you last night, my Queen, and even disturbed The Dreamer, has been pinpointed to the Cozy Cone Motel on Highway 35.*
Alice: And?
Mari: Well, the source is no longer there, but several bodies were found.
Alice: Oh, dear. And what are the bodies telling us?
Mari: Well, my Queen, I wasn't sure if you wanted to send someone. The Justice League is there. Specifically Zatanna and Raven.
Alice: That makes sense. Raven is their empath, is she not?
Snow White: Just so, my Queen.
Alice: Send Nanoha and Vita. ** There shouldn't be any problem with the Justice League sharing and cooperating. And The Dreamer?
Mari: In 4th REM, my Queen.
Alice: A blessing, that. It should settle back into 5th soon.
Bond: Another question, if I may.
Alice: Of course, Mr. Bond.
Bond: You had just mentioned you and the other two dream walkers. And now this talk. Are you saying this is all a dream?

Now, out-of-body experience is accessible to everyone. It is now known how to easily master it and apply it effectively. It is new way for obtaining information, influencing the physiology, meeting the deceased, visiting any place in the universe etc. This guidebook is the result of ten years of extremely active personal practice and study of the the phase state (lucid dreaming and out-of-body experience), coupled with having successfully taught it to thousands of people. If you ever wondered what might lie beyond the reality we experience every day, if you've ever thrilled to accounts of out-of-body travel and longer to go alone for the ride, this fascinating, practical guide is for you. I know all of the problems that are usually run into when getting to know this phenomenon, and have tried to protect future practitioners from them. Contrary to popular opinion, there is nothing difficult about this phenomenon. The techniques work in literally a couple of attempts. When we think of having an "out-of-body" experience, we might think of near-death encounters or occurrences that are so surreal, they seem to take you out of your current reality. But the mystical practice of astral projection actually allows people to have spiritual, out-of-body experiences intentionally. You've probably heard the term in passing before, and perhaps are even familiar with the idea of meditating to the point of leaving your body — which sounds kind of supernatural. But turns out the meaning of astral projection is a lot more than that. The concept of astral projection hinges on the belief that in addition to our physical bodies, humans also have an "astral body," which is sometimes referred to as an etheric body, subtle body, or light body. This might also be thought of as your "soul." In many esoteric practices, there is also something called an "astral plane" — and it's through this plane that people can explore during astral projections. The astral plane is considered to be the home of not only souls finding their way to their their next life or final resting place, but also angels and spirits. Accounts of astral traveling are found in cultures from all around the globe and throughout history, and it's also commonly practiced today in modern-day mystic and spiritual practices. "Astral projection or astral traveling is the ability to allow your light body (or what I call our ‘traveling’ selves), to venture beyond the physical body and project itself to a specific place, and even particular sites in time," ascension guide and quantum shaman Laura Brown tells Bustle. "I have worked with astral projection to witness ancient civilizations and other sacred spaces on the earth, and have also used it to connect with further realms to gain insight for my [spiritual work]." This practice allows our astral body to travel beyond the material world around us using our minds. According to believers, we can then venture into etheric realms that transcend time and space — sort of like having a dream, except you're awake and aware of what's happenin. Before you write it off for being too supernatural-sounding, consider that some practitioners liken astral projection to simply entering a dreamlike state while conscious — similar to the practice of lucid dreaming while you're asleep. During this conscious and lucid dream-like state, the goal is to transcend your physical being through your mind. Your physical body stays put through the astral projection process, and the adventure takes place entirely in your mind. Astral projection isn't considered a science, since it involves esoteric matters such as the etheric body and the astral plane. But just as we can enter different states of consciousness through things like dreaming or meditation, it makes sense that some people are able to achieve this through astral projection, too. This theory is explored in a paper published in the Frontiers of Human Neuroscience, in which researchers observed a subject's brain using an MRI while she claimed to be in a state of astral projection. They were able to successfully identify unique parts of the brain that were active during her journey, which helped shine some light on what's happening in one's head during such a spiritual journey. While science may not be able to prove that your soul is out on an adventure, it's clear that there's some interesting brain activity happening that points to an altered state of experience.

Dear Cosmic Community,
If you’ve often wondered ‘why’ you feel physically, mentally or emotionally challenged without any particular reason or cause, it could be because you’re experiencing the very ‘real’ effects of ascension.
By its nature, the term ‘ascension’ implies ‘rising up’ and when we apply it to our spiritual growth, it takes on the mantle of a developing awareness that both facilitates and accelerates the expansion of consciousness. And indeed, the great cosmic rising that’s been occurring ever since June 2019 when the 5D New Earth template embedded around our globe, has further served to increase ‘ascension symptoms’ as millions are now operating on a much deeper level of everyday knowing.
This is the guide for everyone wishing to hone their understanding of the link between energy, planetary movements and the growth of your being…
YOU ARE AN ENERGY BEING
Firstly, consider that everything in the universe of form or matter, is comprised of energy, of ‘vibration’ - including you. You are an energy being (a being of pure spirit) who’s core intelligence is SOUL. As a soul and a vibratory ‘spiritual’ energy being, you are also a light being, creating your human life and all of your physical experiences via the direction of your thoughts, your feelings and your divine will. It’s your intentions, whether conscious or not that direct and therefore, form your reality. The more aware you become of your energy being and your power to create (and destroy) the more conducive your manifestations become. In other words, you realise that what you focus upon, you can create. So, you can choose to create conscious experiences which uplift and inspire, rather than creating unconscious experiences (unwise choices) which may cause you frustration or pain. All choice is with you. PLANETARY INFLUENCES
Just as you are a soul and vibratory energy being, your physical body is made of energy. You are ever morphing, refining and defining yourself and as such your body shifts and changes with you. I’ve created an effective Guided Meditation just for ‘Recalibrating Your Body’. Likewise, you’re constantly interacting with other souls, energy beings - humans, animals, plants, minerals and planetary influences on both a physical and non-physical level. Energy infiltrates many different dimensions at once. We live in a multi-verse of vibration - of light and sound. Just like the weather can lift or deflate your mood, so do the planetary movements have an impact on your energy levels and your rate of growth. Full Moons, retrogrades, eclipses, solar flares and the like affect you - on all levels. And when you understand just how much of an influence they do have on your life, you can work with the cosmic flow to plan and map out the course of your life.
This is why I’ve been writing and speaking The Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast every week since 2003. It’s a constant, engaging teaching tool to remind you of who you are, the spiritual powers that you possess and to inform you of the upcoming cosmic and planetary influences. Having this vital information at your fingertips, truly does help in making wise decisions that advance your purpose and path.
“Indeed, as a ‘soul’ you are a cosmic being who is at one with planetary cycles”
While you inhabit a human body on Earth, you are in a constant dance and rhythm with multi-dimensional cosmic energetics, which include planetary movements and influences in our local solar system and even beyond. As a human, your physical body serves as a primary vehicle for experiences that will facilitate the growth and expansion of your soul. Souls love to learn and grow through the process of not only physical evolution, but also of spiritual evolution. Souls are in a constant state of evolution, accelerated by the growth of the cosmos and accompanying planetary cycles. And over the past 100 years (in particular) we’ve seen a spike in the number of people who are aware of their energetic (spiritual) nature.
THE GROWTH OF YOUR BEING AND COSMIC EXPANSION
In particular, since the turn of the millennia in 2000, a great cycle of change began on Earth. One great cosmic cycle completed and thrust us all into preparation for the fourth and fifth dimensional reality to come online. In the past, Earth was considered to be a 3D teaching planet. A planetary experience that teaches us about the physical perspective of life. But, over the past 20 years that energy has shifted ever higher, as our entire solar system has been flooded in light, which has raised the vibration on Earth through the 4D level (where time seemingly morphs) to the level of 5D (having an awareness that you are an energy being experiencing physical life). Have you had your wake-up call into the higher realms of spirit since 2000? So many in our community of light have.
4D into 5D
As our world has progressively been challenged to wake-up and grow over the last 20 years, with the sharing of ideas and information now becoming near instant, the concept of ‘time’ and the gap between ‘thought and thing’ has diminished. The fourth dimensional level reality (of time) was reached back in 2010 (the true 2012) and in the decade since, we’ve prepared for 5D (the dimensional reality of spirit).
This 5D level of awareness (a creational energy template) finally embedded around our planet back in June 2019. We had reached a critical mass of souls who had risen in consciousness to a high enough level, to bring the 5D reality in for all.
“You see, what you do with your life once you ‘wake-up’ does matter. It impacts us all”
The past 12 months - energy ascension
Living with a 5D influence for over 12 months now, has been accelerating everyone’s energy. For indeed, when you’re aware of and working with your spiritual reality (the fifth dimension of light) you accept ‘change’ as being a fundamental foundation of spirit - of who you are. And as such, a wave and ever-increasing movement of change (an ascension) has been building upon Earth. You’ve felt it and it has had an impact on your energy - and your body on all levels.
ENERGY ASCENSION AFFECTS YOUR PHYSICAL BODY VIA YOUR ENERGY FIELD
As an energy being you have many layers to your body created by the soul (which is at the core and emanating through all). Each layer of your energy body interpenetrates the other. Your energy body layers are a part of you. Even though they may be invisible to your physical sight, you can feel them with practice. Consider that your entire body (your body of light) is far more complex than just the physical.
It’s the layers of your energy body, which create your field of light (your auric field) through which you experience, interchange with and interpret life. It’s via your auric field layers that your physical body receives messages and guidance and its template is formed and maintained.
The major body layers (which form your energy field or aura) include :
the outer most cosmic layer
the angelic/spiritual layer
the heart and soul travel layer
the mental/directive layer
the emotional/feeling layer
the physical template/blueprint
and the physical body
NON-PHYSICAL COMMUNICATION
As you become aware of the entirety of your body, your physical body through to all of the layers of your energy body (your energy field), you become more open to non-physical communication. This allows you to more readily experience your outer body layers, opening you up to the spiritual side of life via the higher dimensions beyond the third ‘physical’ dimension. And because so many people have been waking up and raising their awareness beyond 3D, we now have a critical collective mass of souls who are aware of the fifth dimension (5D) interpenetrating Earth.
This means that they realise how responsible they are for their own energy health and well being and that of others and the planet. For it’s your energy body which is communicating with the environment (the cosmos) around you and of course, with all others.
AS YOUR OUTER BODY LAYERS GROW AND ACTIVATE - YOUR PHYSICAL BODY CHANGES
And because of this higher awareness (of 5D) that so many are opening up to, they’re experiencing very ‘real’ changes to their physical body, as a result. For the outer energy layers of our body bring information down into the physical body to shift and change it to match our outer layers of creation and perception. As you activate and grow on the outer levels (with the information you draw in from the ever changing cosmos), eventually your physical body follows suit - it changes to embody more light.
COMMON 5G ASCENSION SYMPTOMS
And so, there are many ways in which your physical body will show symptoms of bringing through higher dimensional awareness.
Below, I have listed the most common, but there are more.
As always, whenever you have ongoing physical symptoms, I encourage you to seek advice from a healthcare professional of your choice. Have the physical checked out and seen to. What can happen is that if you have ignored symptoms of change for so long (as they’ve filtered down through your outer body layers) that by the time the 5D changes gets down to the physical body, you literally may have a physical problem that needs to be corrected. IMPORTANT: TAKE NOTE OF YOUR CHANGES ‘AS THEY HAPPEN’
The ADVANTAGE of being aware of changes to your energy field before your physical body is affected (in a possibly painful way) is that you get to make LIFESTYLE CHANGES as and when you’re directed to. You then are not ignoring your change instructions and are not making them when it’s too late and your physical body is crying out for assistance. Accept your energy changes as they happen and you’ll have a much more enjoyable, smoother and rewarding experience of ASCENSION.
This is my list (in no particular order) of OVER 43 common ascension symptoms that I have seen in my work and what you can do to address them:
Headaches, migraines - fuzzy head - your brain is forming new neural pathways. You’re creating ‘new thought paths’. The more you accept newness without resisting, the easier this process will feel. Drink lots of water and rest during major cosmic events.
Spiritual Flu - This can be a combination of many of the physical symptoms listed. Even though you have flu like symptoms, you’re not actually ‘physically ill’. It’s more of an energetic sickness that passes over 24-48 hours. It can often feel like a ‘spiritual fire’ is rising within you - cleansing and clearing any toxic energy in your cells and bringing them up to a higher, finer vibration.
Dizziness - This can happen around big cosmic events like solar flaring, eclipses and super moons. Ground yourself by breathing up through your feet. Connect with the Earth for sustenance and stability.
Ears receiving high-vibration sounds - This will sound like a tuning fork being struck in one ear or the other. A high vibration sound slowly tunes in and then out. It doesn’t hurt and is random (this is not the same as tinnitus). Ear downloads are the way that high vibration 5D information is absorbed by your energy body. All is sound. You’re receiving instructions on your next steps. You may not be able to decipher what the messages mean. Just pause, allow them to absorb and say, ‘Thank you’.
Thymus fluttering, sometimes felt as heart palpitations - Your thymus gland is your gland of spiritual awakening. It’s shaped like a butterfly and sits over the sternum in the middle of your chest. You can tap it with your two middle fingers to ground yourself as it flutters, when you’re growing in spiritual awareness. It can often be mistaken for feeling like your heart is palpitating or skipping a beat. This feeling comes and goes, particularly when your heart and ‘high heart‘ (the energy centre of the thymus) are expanding. The vagus nerve which runs down the side of the neck is also linked into the heart and when stimulated (as your neck becomes tight, perhaps from resistance to your incoming life changes) this can also serve to awaken the heart energy field and cause an expansion (fluttering) of consciousness.
Blurry eyes, sore eyes, eye ticks - Your eyes can become inflamed and sore when life is changing very quickly before you. Your third eye may be developing, as your inner sight expands and your intuition and psychic abilities - telepathy grows. Rest your eyes frequently by closing them and being still. Gentle breathing meditation assists. I have a Guided Meditation to assist in Opening The Third Eye
Waking up between 2.00 and 4.00am - This is the hour of the night when energy is still and soul becomes active. You can clear much from your mind, if you awaken during this period. You’re receptive to hearing the voice of soul. Greater clarity comes during these hours, as your personality is quiet. Wake-up, meditate, write down your thoughts, then when you go back to sleep, it’s likely you’ll have prophetic dreams (dreams with important messages that you’ll remember). Some people may even astral travel after going back to sleep - i.e have an outer body experience and be conscious of life continuing on, outside of the physical body while in the dream state.
Sore muscles and joints - This can be caused by old, toxic energy leaving your cells. When powerful planetary alignments take place, it’s important to MOVE your body to assist in the assimilation of higher vibration. If you do not, energy can become stuck and cause painful muscles and joints.
Heat rising in the body - Similar to ‘spiritual flu’, this can often occur ‘early on with some regularity’ during your spiritual awakening journey. I liken it to the spiritual fire of ‘soul’ waking up within you and burning away illusion, bringing in energetic truths. Rest and drink lots of water when this occurs, as it will pass and reveal greater awareness and a clearer direction when complete.
Dropping objects, clumsiness - This tends to occur when your paradigm has been challenged and your old ways no longer serve you well. You’re being guided to change your ways, to focus more in the moment and not get distracted by many things at once.
Anxiety - Many 'Empaths’ may feel anxious because of the lower-level (often negative) energy that they pick up and absorb from others and a toxic environment. When there is a lot of cosmic activity, you could feel anxiety rise, accompanied by many of the physical symptoms from this list. If you are sensitive to other’s energy fields, being aware of your abilities is key. Pull your awareness in closer to your own energy field, rather than extending it out to meet others. Look after yourself by focusing on what you love.
Loss of memory - This often happens when you grow in self-awareness. You become more interested in ‘the moment’ than the past. And hence, you may not even remember (at a glance) what you did this morning - by lunch time today. You’ll need to slow down your thinking in order to recall. High-vibration energy (5D) keeps you in the moment where all-power and potential exists.
Inability to sleep - This can happen when there is much change stirring within you and you’re unsure of what to act upon first. Your personality is over-thinking and over-processing potential problems and solutions. Many also resist the soul assisting the personality and so try to avoid sleep. It’s during sleep that the release valve on your day is set off. Try meditation before sleep or reading a spiritual text (like The Tip-Off) - it always sets you on a path to greater insight during sleep, bodily repair and upgrade time.
Higher expectations from yourself and others - When you wake-up and ascend on your 5D consciousness path you desire to act with authority, integrity and spiritual excellence. Hence, you’ll expect more from yourself each day and ultimately from those around you too. You’ll put pressure on yourself and others. You’ll come to learn that we are all at different levels of evolution and so over time, the expectations you have of others will wain. Instead you’ll apply your own changes (to yourself first and foremost) and then see them ‘naturally’ affect change in others. This is when spiritual wisdom and maturity dawns.
Relationship strains and changes - Ultimately as you elevate in awareness of who you are as a soul on a human journey, your relationships will shift (until you come to be in the company of others like you, who have remembered who they are). Those close will feel that ‘you’ve changed’ because you have. Awareness reveals the truth within one - no more pretending. You’ve broken down the outer defense shield. So, you’ll need to move through a period of time where you’re either explaining yourself and your truth to others, seeing if they’ll come on board and grow along with your new sense of spiritual truth, or some will need space from those close. Some relationships can continue and deepen, while others will need to be conducted at a distance or not at all.
A growing need to break free - This can be accompanied by many of the physical symptoms. If you've been off purpose for too long, you’ll feel the desire to change everything at once and just be free of old restraints and ways. Take practical daily steps, as you see fit. One step at a time towards positive change can make a huge difference (and put you at ease) in your desire to be free.
Career dissatisfaction - This goes along with a desire to break free. As you become aware of your spiritual reality and are working in tune with cosmic energy each day, the dissatisfaction you may feel in your career or work can increase. This is because you have a growing need to ‘be on purpose’ and if you feel your talents and skills are not being utilised in your work - then you may want to change onto a path that does uplift you and bring great reward and satisfaction. Some people, may realise that their current career is right and they just need to be more of themselves within it. While others will need a complete career path change. I have a Guided Meditation to assist you with this.
A strong desire to find your purpose - This goes along with a desire to break free and can also include career dissatisfaction. One of the great consequences of ascension is the urge for soul to move you onto your purpose for incarnating on Earth in human form. It can become an insatiable urge to remember who you are and what you’re here for. I have a powerful meditation that can assist you.
Lethargy - This can occur when you’re not treating your physical body well during periods of pronounced cosmic energy shifts. Ensure that you address your diet when in ascension mode and consume high-frequency (fresh, plant based foods) and drink lots of filtered water - limit processed foods (although many will over-consume these in an attempt to feel good). Also, ensure that you move your body daily and practice applying what you’re discovering about your reality each day. Action moves lethargy.
Some need less sleep - Many will be so awake, excited and inspired that they need less sleep. Follow your individual call.
Greater empathy and compassion - As you deepen your ascension process the energy centre of your heart will expand and create a greater field of compassion around your physical body. You’ll more easily feel what others feel and pick up on energy from your environment. Tears and emotions can be strong, usually during heightened periods of cosmic activity. Use what you feel and pick up on to be kinder to yourself and affect positive change in your own life - first and foremost.
Change of diet - It’s hugely common that once you wake-up and ascend you feel the intuitive urge to clean up your diet. I remember back in the mid-90’s (when I first woke-up) one of the first practices I was intuitively guided towards was becoming vegetarian - which I did, even though it wasn’t that popular 25 years ago. I loved the immediate effects upon my life. I eventually became vegan and with the range of plant-based, organic (in-season) foods on offer today, it’s easier than ever. I credit changing my diet (straight away as I woke up) to having accelerated my spiritual growth and increased my empathy and compassion (oneness) for all sentient beings of the light. Follow your personal calls to change your diet, as you see fit.
Shifting friendships and rifts can grow within families - This goes hand-in-hand with ‘relationship shifts and changes’. Family and longstanding friendships (in particular) will notice changes within you, when you begin to wake-up and grow. They’ll say, ‘You’ve changed’. You have! They may take issue with it, as they want the ‘old you’ back - particularly if they haven’t woken up and/or have no indication that they will - you’ll be challenging them. This can often be one of the most difficult ascension symptoms to assimilate, as you feel long-standing loyalty to family and friends. However, there is no going back once you begin to ascend. So, each of us has to decide how we choose to interact with family and friends who are no longer in alignment with us. Some go quiet, and plan a path away from old influences. Some try and change those around them (this may or may not work, as all souls have free will). And some may accept that a new path awaits them - which will bring in new friends and possibly means a changed relationship with family, meaning little or no contact. Each of us will walk a different path. All is well, as we choose what best suits. I have a healing Guided Meditation to help with families
Increased telepathy and psychic powers - As your inner sight opens and clears (your third eye) your telepathic abilities (sending and receiving energy messages on the spiritual planes) will naturally increase. Indeed, now that a 5D energy template is fully operational around Earth, it’s easier than ever to trust in and use your telepathic and psychic skills. What you focus on can manifest at lightning speed, for positive or negative effect. So, being self-responsible for how you direct yourself is key in 2020 and beyond. See my recent blog post to assist with understanding how telepathy works.
Noticing double/triple digit numbers - The SIGNS - Number sequences will begin to jump out at you. Soul resonates with the language of numbers. Numerical sequences form the matrix of reality. And hence, when you see them in uniform sequence i.e 11:11, 2:02, 3:33 etc. these become markers, serving to wake-you up and point you in the direction of higher consciousness. When you see a number sequence, simply pause - take note and say, ‘Thank you’. Then go about your day and wait for further instructions to drop into your awareness - as they will.
A thirst for ancient, esoteric knowledge - You may find that answers call from our ancient past. You’ll begin searching for buried truths that mainstream archeology dismisses. An interest in ancient technologies, practices and connections with the stars with call. The ancient Egyptian, Syrian, Mayan, Indian, Aboriginal and ALL indigenous cultures will appeal. Dive in deep and love what you find. Goddess cultures may also call - a time on Earth when the feminine (creative) was elevated above the masculine. I have a Guided Meditation to invoke your goddess within.
Meditating, taking up yoga or healing arts - This goes hand-in-hand with a change in diet and all of the other ascension symptoms. You’ll feel your physical body changing (bringing in more light) and as a result you'll feel the urge to practice exercise and healing techniques that help you to master your energy flow. These practices can accelerate your spiritual growth.
A need to take action - Where you’ve been sitting back unsure or unmotivated, once ascension begins you’ll likely feel the need to move and be active along your path. Some people may want to tackle many changes all at once. Go at your pace and apply what you know. Walking your spiritual talk is imperative to being grounded and authentic when embracing 5D ascension.
OBE’S - conscious outer body experiences - This can occur when you awaken early in the morning (and then go back to sleep), between 2.00 am - 4.00am. You may have a lucid dream at first (you know you’re dreaming within the dream) followed by a rumbling in your body and a feeling that you’re tearing away from the physical body. You could find that your astral or energy body is travelling through different dimensions - and you’re conscious of it. This can happen quite spontaneously for many and may never happen at all for others. It takes practice to master being out of your body and will teach you much about the cosmic nature of reality.
Tears flowing - overly emotional - This occurs in line with the heart field expanding and your empathic skills developing. This means that water is flowing in your physical body, cleansing and clearing old, stuck energy in the process. It can be a very positive sign. If you become overly emotional, you can ground yourself by stepping outside barefoot into nature and allowing the outdoor energy flow to naturally reset you.
Increased self-awareness of your old patterns - As your consciousness grows, so does your ability to reflect and make self-responsible determinations of where and how you’ve developed repetitive patterns because of choices you’ve made. With considered insight comes the ability to consciously choose and shift your patterns to a higher energy flow. You do this with daily action steps.
Vivid dreams - This goes hand-in-hand with OBE’S and waking up in the early hours. Soul is wide awake and directing you to learn more about who you are through the dream state. You’ll also be cleansing and gaining clarity on past situations and future visions. Keep a notebook near your bed and write down whatever you can remember, as soon as you wake, before it slips from your consciousness. You’ll learn much from your dream states. Focus on the ‘feelings’ in your dreams, They tell you everything.
Being hugely creative and inspired - With a higher vibration being channeled through you, creativity surges. You could find that you’re constantly being inspired with new ideas. I suggest that you implement your ideas - one at time. Try them out and act on what you receive. Soul loves it when you apply your direction. Not applying your creativity can result in pent up energy stifling you.
Sinuses running / increased sneezing - As your third eye (the awakening pineal/pituitary gland in concert with the heart - the inner pyramid of truth) comes on line, you could find that your sinuses run - and you could experience sneezing fits. This I liken to a clearing of the third eye. I have a safe and effective Guided Meditation to assist you in Opening The Third Eye
Stomach irritation and irregular bowel movements - As old energy and lower vibration moves though your physical body, you could notice that you ‘let go’ with increased movement in your stomach and bowels. You quite literally can either release a flood of old energy via the bowels or resist it leaving and then feel constipated. Water helps to clear you, as does rest. Such physical irritations and cleansing usually clear up as you let go and as, powerful planetary influences pass.
Lower back issues - Issues of feeling supported (or not) often play out in our lower back. You could find that as you change and others around you do not, you could feel frustrated and like you’re all out on your own. This is often when backs can seize up - as you feel unsupported and can manifest this feeling in your back - which supports your body. Tell yourself that there is plenty of support all around you and that you’re truly capable. Lie on the ground, outdoors (or against a tree) for great healing relief.
Upper back pain or itching between the shoulder blades - Right in between your shoulder blades is where your ‘wings of light’ are located. See my recent blog post on this. Your etheric wings open up and extend, as you further develop your light body and spiritual energy field. This can cause a tightness and itching in the upper back area, as well as a heaviness in your shoulders, as your wings slowly open. Once unfurled, you’ll feel an elevated lightness in your upper back and ability to more easily rise above and see the bigger picture of all. This can take some time to be achieved. Be patient.
Sore neck and shoulders - You could find that your neck becomes stiff (extending down to your shoulders) when you’re not accepting the new information and higher vibration coming down into your physical body. Be flexible and allowing of change. Recognise that there are many ways to achieve your goals. Practicing openness and dropping fear of the unknown will assist. Challenge yourself daily.
Wanting to be on your own - Many feel the need to cocoon off from others and their old way of life when ascending in 5D consciousness. This incubation period helps one to know themselves without distraction and can be vital to your spiritual growth. If you live or work with others and cannot be on your own, you may notice that you become emotionally and mentally distant. Be aware that they may not understand. Explain that you just need some quiet time to go within. Allow others to grow with you, if they choose.
Growing in personal power - You’ll begin to feel more confident in who you are (all of you) the more that your consciousness grows. Authenticity flows, as the person you are on the outside is a direct reflection of who you are on the inside. You move into alignment with soul and your path of light. You act with integrity and higher consideration and respect for yourself and others. This is personal power.
Feeling that everything you’ve ever known has been a lie - As your 5D awareness grows and you reflect deeply on your past, you could feel that everything you’ve ever known and/or have been taught has been a lie. It’s not a lie, it’s just that you haven’t tapped into the wholeness of multi-dimensional reality. Rather than becoming angry or frustrated, you can become excited instead. Your growing awareness now means that you can see how your ‘will’ and choices direct your life. You now become responsible for where you take yourself in life and that equates to personal freedom and equals personal power.
Bouts of euphoria - followed by feeling low - With 5D ascension and shifting daily planetary influences, you can experience bouts of being on a high, followed by days when your energy feels lower. These lower periods are the ‘assimilation’ periods. After growth, you need to stabilise and allow yourself to rest. It’s just like working out a muscle with weights. You push it past its limits, then rest and during the rest period (the low) it grows stronger. Spiritual growth (ascension) works in exactly the same way. So, on slower days - you’re not really low, you’re just assimilating your changes and growth, before getting ready to expand again.
Shortness of breath - Along with heart expansion during 5D ascension, your lungs are taking in greater capacity for life. And so, you could find that as your energy field grows, you experience a sporadic shortness in breath. Deep breathing, right down into your belly (in through the nose and out through the mouth) assists with a more even breath - of the in and out flow.
Indeed, these are but ‘some’ of the symptoms of 5D ascension and your rising awareness of expanded consciousness. I trust that this blog post has provided you with reassurance that all is well on your path. And that the more aware you become of your amazing energy body, the more you’ll accept the challenge and elation of your spiritual growth. This makes ‘ascension symptoms’ easier to recognise, assimilate and ultimately master.
You can take this opportunity and join with the thousands of awake and aware souls globally, who are successfully ascending on their spiritual path every week with The Tip-Off. It’s a choice that I know, will empower you…
Ember is the 4th character in the Shadowlands collection, based on science fiction writings by the the author who commissioned the doll.
Ember is an empath healer with the gift of Sight. We find her on a desert planet oasis, dressing the finaries of her tropical island home: a flowing spidersilk gown and jewellery to adorn her body. She wears little bells around her ankles that tinkle as she walks.
The OOAK art doll is Inamorata 2.0 Charo with Busty body in Latte resin. Her pale skin is sunkissed and covered in freckles. The mohair wig is deep red has a complex braid pattern and gold hair ornaments. Her costume consists of a translucent silk gown of cream interwoven with gold threads, with matching sandals, a golden body harness decorated with natural stone beads, and the emerald green lingerie decorated with gold rings and beaded with Japanese glass beads.
This is doll is a commissioned artwork and not for sale.
hearts′ empath ♥ brick-red ♥ brecciated jasper (aka poppy jasper) puffed in the shape of a heart-symbol was 'empathed', i.e. overdubbed & admixed with a 2nd tricolor broken - heart - festoon by means of the scanning process.
The object was scanned in the middle of the night with all lights switched off - nevertheless the 'empath' of the halogen - scanner - light glitched an interesting (but somehow embarassing) oranje-wit-blauw halo (aka the prince's flag in the Netherlands) festoon onto the grinded surface.
Obviously the macroscopic, black hematite-Schlieren became admixtures to the igneous extrusive jasper during the sublimation-process of the lava.
The Tricolour of The Netherlands is the oldest tricolour, first appearing in 1572 as the Prince's Flag in orange–white–blue. Soon the more famous red–white–blue began appearing — it is however unknown why, though many stories are known. After 1630 the red–white–blue was the most commonly seen flag. The Dutch Tricolour has inspired many flags but most notably those of Russia, India, New York City, and France, which spread the tricolour concept even further. The Flag of the Netherlands is also the only flag in the world that is adapted for some uses, when the occasion has a connection to the royal house of the Netherlands an orange ribbon is added.(wikipedia).

JASPER as a healing crystal
► JASPER (hardness: 6,5 - 7,0; density: 2,6 g/sm3)
The name of the stone goes back to the Greek word jaspis - "motley", "speckled". The coloration of Jasper can be red, dark blue, green, violet, white and even black.
Medical properties. In olden time jasper considered as means from an epilepsy and a fever. People believed that the jasper can improve sight, cure an epilepsy and remove a toothache. Famous Avitsenna advised to carry jasper on a stomach, to prevent illnesses of a stomach.
Magic properties. It is considered that ornaments from a jasper promote adjustment of relations and protect from ill fate. The jasper is capable to give to the owner determination and to make it more wisely.
Jaspis is crudely, in-blown up, in balls and Geschieben, rarely in grape/cluster or to shapes. It can contain up to 20%
admixtures of strange substances such as alumina, ferric oxide, iron hydroxide and manganese hydroxide. Since the quantity and distribution of these admixtures decided on the appearance, are extraordinarily large the color and Jaspis.
ancient times: Jaspis was in the antiquity with the Greeks and Romans a most outstanding mineral. In the course of the centuries the Jaspis at meaning and appreciation lost and at present to Siegelsteinen, doses, vases, desk tops, cans, mosaic, architectural work etc. was used.
Bible: That the Apostel Johannes revealed Himmli Jerusalem (revealing 21, 18-20) exhibited walls from Jaspis, as "the first reason", all other jewels follow only after it.
Middle Ages In the late Middle Ages famous natural scientists Konrad Gesner delivered: "The Jaspis is a sign before the chest, the sword in the hand and the queue under the feet. It protects against all diseases and renews spirit, heart and understanding."With the ancient Greeks one believed that the Jaspis gives internal harmony to its carrier and women have a harmonyful pregnancy by carrying the stone. In addition the red Jaspis helps best with nausea and excessive Esslust during the pregnancy and can facilitate relieving - a marvelous stone for all ranges of the abdomen.

► poppy jasper @kosmix [_210810_]
Poppy Jasper is a poppy-patterned variety of orbicular jasper originating in South Africa. In medieval times, warriors often carried poppy jasper in belief it would bring them courage in the heat of oncoming battle. It belongs to the quartz group and is a brecciated jasper, composed of approximately 20% extraneous materials due to the gaps left between dry, iron enriched clay when the rock is first formed.
While poppy jasper is often multi-colored due to foreign deposits, it still is predominately red, black and gray in appearance. The black and gray often act to form a sort of background behind "blooms" of red-orange color that distinctly resemble that of a poppy plant, hence the name.
Residents of the U.S. may find this particular form of jasper in Morgan Hill, California. It is considered a rare stone and is well sought-after collectible by gem connoisseurs at a going rate of $20-30/lb.

SILPHION & ARKESILAOS
► σίλφιον aus epichorisch σίλφι oder σίρφι, lat.: sirpe, laserpicium = lac +sirpicium; außerdem sind besondere griechische Namen für Teile der Pflanze überliefert.) Name einer in der Cyrenaica wachsenden Pflanze und besonders des aus dessen Stengel und Wurzel gewonnenen harzigen Milchsaftes, der vom 6.Jahrhundert v. Chr. eine sehr hochgeschätzte Droge war und als Ausfuhrartikel die Grundlage des Reichtums von --> Kyrene bildete. Auch in der hellenistischen Zeit war der S-Handel gewinnbringend (Plaut, Rud. 630 Catull. 7,4), aber vom Beginn der Kaiserzeit an war das echte S. vom Markt verschwunden, und man behalf sich mit minderwertigem S. aus dem Orient. Trotz erhaltener Beschreibungen bei Theophrast u.a. (s. bes. Plin. nat. 19, 38-46) und Abbildungen auf Münzen von Kyrene und auf der Pariser Arkesilaos-Schale (auf der er die Verpackung und Verschiffung von S. beaufsichtigt) und vieler Bemühungen von Historikern und Botanikern (eine ganze Literatur!) ist die sichere Bestimmung des S. nicht gelungen; doch scheint es sich um eine mit Scorodosma foetidum, welches Asa foetida liefert, nahe verwandte Pflanze zu handeln; obwohl S. einen zwar sehr intensiven, aber doch angenehmen Geruch und Geschmack gehabt haben soll. Über die Verwendung von S. sind die antiken Angaben spärlich. Stengel und Blätter wurden als Gemüse gegessen, und die Droge diente als Gewürz und medizinisch als Allheilmittel... {Hehn-Schrader Kulturpflanzen (8) 112.

► Arkesilaos 1. Sohn Battos I. (Hdt 4, 159), König von Kyrene 599-583 (?) 2. Aresilaos II. (565/60-555/50) war der Enkel von Arkesilaos I. Er vertrieb nach seiner Thronbesteigung seine Brüder, welche daraufhin die Libyer um Kyrene aufwiegelten, bei Leukon lockten sie ihn in einen Hinterhalt, wobei er 7000 Hopliten verlor. Kurz daraufhin verübte sein mit ihm verfehdeter Bruder Laarchos ein Attentat auf ihn; seine Witwe rächte ihn jedoch wenig später (Hdt. 4, 160, Plut.mul.virt. 260 E ff. S. Mazzarino Fra Oriente e Occidente 1947, 153, 313-317). Trotz seiner kurzen Herrschaft (565/60-555/50) haben Künstler und Dichter ihm gehuldigt: Eugammon von Kyrene widmete ihm sein Epos 'Telegonia', die Arkesilaos-Schale stellt ihn bei der Beaufsichtigung des Verladens Exportartikels Silphion dar.
► Silphium @wikipedia
Silphium (also known as silphion or laser) was a plant of the genus Ferula. Generally considered to be an extinct "giant fennel" (although some claim that the plant is really Ferula tingitana), it once formed the crux of trade from the ancient city of Cyrene for its use as a rich seasoning and as a medicine. It was so critical to the Cyrenian economy that most of their coins bore a picture of the plant.
Silphium was an important species as evidenced by the Egyptians and Knossos Minoans developing a specific glyph to represent the Silphium plant.
The valuable product was the resin (laser, laserpicium, or lasarpicium) of the plant. It was harvested in a manner similar to asafoetida, a plant with similar enough qualities to silphium that Romans, including the geographer Strabo, used the same word to describe both.
Aside from its uses in Greco-Roman cooking (as in recipes by Apicius), many medical uses were ascribed to the plant. It was said that it could be used to treat cough, sore throat, fever, indigestion, aches and pains, warts, and all kinds of maladies. Chief among its medical uses, according to Pliny the Elder, was its role as an herbal contraceptive. Given that many species in the parsley family have estrogenic properties, and some (such as wild carrot) have been found to work as an abortifacient, it is quite possible that the plant was pharmacologically active in the prevention or termination of pregnancy. Legend said that it was a gift from the god Apollo. It was used widely by most ancient Mediterranean cultures; the Romans considered it "worth its weight in denarii."
Connection with the heart symbol
There has been some speculation about the connection between silphium and the traditional heart shape (♥). The symbol is remarkably similar to the Egyptian "heart soul" (ib). The sexual nature of that concept, combined with the widespread use of silphium in ancient Egypt for birth control, and the fact that the seeds of silphium are shaped like a heart as shown in the left illustration, leads to speculation that the character for ib may have been derived from the shape of the silphium seed.
Contemporaneous writings help tie silphium to sexuality and love, as laserpicium makes an appearance in a poem (Catullus 7) of Catullus to his lover Lesbia. As well as in Pausanias' Description of Greece in which he says "For it so happened that his maiden daughter was living in it. By the next day this maiden and all her girlish apparel had disappeared, and in the room were found images of the Dioscuri, a table, and silphium upon it."
► The Secret of the Heart @ heartsmith
There are a few ancient symbols that recur through the ages. One of these symbols - the heart - means many things to many people. Just how did the stylized heart shape become the icon for love and the human soul? Let's work our way back in history:
The heart symbol as we know it today, was popularized in the Victorian era over a hundred years ago. They loved the romantic heart shape and embellished it in many ways; but they didn't invent it. Where did it come from?
"Silphium has left its mark in modern society in a way that has not previously been recognized. Have you ever wondered why the human heart - the repository and the embodiment of romantic love - is always drawn stylized instead of in the natural shape of the human heart organ? The answer is rooted in the ancient function of Silphium! And the connection between this artistic convention and Silphium is found in the coinage of Cyrene, which features a seed pod of the revered plant." (Emilio N Favority and Kurt Baty. The Celator, Vol 9, No.2)
► Asafoetida (Pers. انگدان Angedan).
MEDICAL Apps: Asafoetida reduces the growth of indigenous microflora in the gut. fighting flu - Asafoetida was used in 1918 to fight the Spanish influenza pandemic. Scientists at the Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan report that the roots of Asafoetida produces natural antiviral drug compounds that kill the swine flu virus, H1N1. In an article published in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Natural Products, the researchers said the compounds "may serve as promising lead components for new drug development" against this type of flu. contraceptive/abortifacient - Asafoetida has also been reported to have contraceptive/abortifacient activity, and is related (and considered an inferior substitute to) the ancient Ferula species Silphium. antiepileptic - Asafoetida oleo-gum-resin has been reported to be antiepileptic in classical Unani as well as ethnobotanical literature.
HUNTING apps (bait): John C Duval reported in 1936 that the odor of asafoetida is attractive to the wolf, a matter of common knowledge, he says, along the Texas/Mexico border. It is also used as one of several possible scent baits, most notably for catfish and pike.
MAGICK apps: In Jamaica, asafoetida is traditionally applied to a baby's anterior fontanel (Jamaican patois "mole") in order to prevent spirits (Jamaican patois "duppies") from entering the baby through the fontanel. In the African-American Hoodoo tradition, asafoetida is used in magic spells as it is believed to have the power both to protect and to curse. In ceremonial magick especially from The Key of Solomon the King, it is used to protect the magus from daemonic forces and to evoke the same and bind them.
Asant (Ferula assa-foetida), auch bekannt als Stinkasant (hindi: हिंग Hing, urdu: Hei-ng) oder Teufelsdreck: Indikationen für die Anwendung waren a) verschiedene Angst- und Nervenstörungen (Nervosität, Hysterie, Hypochondrie), b) krampfartige Magen-, Leber- und Galleleiden, c) Impotenz und reduzierter sexueller Antrieb. Entsprechend war Asant vorwiegend als Nerven- und Beruhigungsmittel sowie als gastrointestinales Spasmolytikum verbreitet. Seit dem Altertum galt Asa foetida außerdem als Aphrodisiakum und wurde über Jahrhunderte in der Liebesmagie eingesetzt. ... Asant soll auch in Chanel Nº 5 enthalten sein.
► Did the ancient Romans use a natural herb for birth control? The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder described use of the resin "with soft wool as a pessary to promote the menstrual discharge." If taken as ancient writers claimed, silphium might have worked as a monthly morning-after pill. Other items touted as contraceptives in antiquity include wild carrot (a silphium relative also known as Queen Anne's lace), pennyroyal, and pomegranate. In small doses many of these are known to stimulate menstrual flow, just as silphium is supposed to have done.
Whether it was effective or not, silphium certainly was a popular plant. Almost impossible to cultivate, it became the main source of economic power for Cyrene, a Greek colony in what's now Libya, where it grew wild.
Nonetheless, by the end of the first century AD silphium was no more. The last pieces of this aphrodisiac plant were reputedly consumed by the dying emperor Nero: "Qualis artifex pereo!"
After silphium disappeared, asafetida was used as a replacement, imported from what are now Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Already used by the poor because it was cheaper and more plentiful than silphium, asafetida was considered inferior from both a culinary and medicinal standpoint.

EXPLANATIONS of WORDS
Schlieren (from German; singular "Schliere", meaning "streak") are optical inhomogeneities in transparent material not visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses void of these inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length that cause light deviation. This light deviation is converted to shadow in a schlieren system.
dub 1. give an unofficial name or nickname to (someone or something), make someone a knight by the ritual touching of the shoulder with a sword. 3. smear (leather) with grease. ORIGIN: late Old English (in the sense 'make a knight'): from Old French adober 'equip with armour'.
overdub (verb) record (additional sounds) on an existing recording. (noun) an instance of overdubbing: a guitar overdub [_NODE_1321_]
empathy the ability to understand and share the feelings of another DERIVATIVES: empathize (verb), empathetic / empathic (adjectives), empath (noun). ORIGIN: In the early 20th century the german word Einfühlung was 're-translated' into the until then not existing greek word empatheia

Photo prise par ma fille à Saül en Guyane
Avec l’hyacinthe, c’est le plus gros de la famille des aras. Oiseau excessivement intelligent et docile. Sûrement le plus gentil et tolérant des aras autant envers les enfants, autres oiseaux ou animaux de la maison, ainsi qu’avec les étrangers. Oiseau familial. Demeure infantile très longtemps. Très interactif et empathique. Intimidant par sa grosseur et son bec. Moyennement bon parleur.
Il vit de manière diurne, à basse et moyenne altitude dans les forêts tropicales en particulier le long des fleuves.
Cette espèce est répandue dans toute l’Amérique du Sud, de l’est du Panama au nord-ouest et de l’est de la Colombie, à l’est du Pérou et de l’Équateur, dans tout le Venezuela, aux trois Guyanes, au Brésil, au nord-est et à l’est de la Bolivie, du Paraguay à Concepción et au nord-est d'Argentine.
Il s'agit d'un oiseau granivore et frugivore. Sa tendance à manger de l'argile lui offre la capacité de manger certains fruits remplis de toxines.
Il niche dans le creux des arbres. La femelle pond deux œufs qu'elle couve pendant 27 jours environ. Les jeunes s'envolent à l'âge de trois mois mais ne deviennent indépendants qu'entre quatre et six mois. Ces animaux forment des couples fidèles toute leur vie.
A de rares exceptions près, l'ara chloroptère est peu répandu sur l'ensemble de son aire de distribution. Dans les régions limitrophes de son territoire, il est considéré comme en déclin : rare au Panama, en grand danger dans l'ouest de la Colombie, il a tout simplement disparu dans le sud-est du Brésil où il était pourtant courant. Font figure d'exception, le Pérou et le Paraguay où l'espèce est encore assez commune. A ce déclin profond, on peut trouver deux raisons : la dégradation de l'habitat, mais plus particulièrement le nombre de captures annuelles qui sont très importantes. Il y a peu de temps encore, le Guyana faisait figure de champion pour le nombre de captures de jeunes oisillons au nid. Heureusement, depuis 1993, ce pays a interdit le trafic commercial de cette espèce. Son territoire étant particulièrement vaste, cette dernière n'est pas considérée comme globalement en danger.
It's probably pretty obvious that I've dipped out of the hobby again a bit. I worked all last month at the best job I've ever had and now that season's over, I'm kinda having a crisis over what to do next. I've been working since I got out of high school and now that I suddenly have free time and no where to be I'm kinda freaking out. I'm supposed to start school soon-ish and I'm auditioning for DCI in December, but this in between time is driving me crazy. I have too much time alone with my thoughts and I feel like I'm falling behind but being rushed at the same time. At the same time, I'm trying to juggle all my friends and their problems, and as an intense empath, it's only digging me further into the hole of depression I'm in. I dunno. Things are hard right now. The Flickr changes aren't really helping me want to take more photos either. Same with my complete failure in Dalicious. I really hate myself honestly.
Vincent van Gogh, né le 30 mars 1853 à Zundert, aux Pays-Bas, et mort le 29 juillet 1890 à Auvers-sur-Oise, en France, à l'âge de 37 ans, est un peintre et dessinateur néerlandais. Son œuvre pleine de naturalisme, inspirée par l'impressionnisme et le pointillisme, annonce le fauvisme et l'expressionnisme.
La Méridienne dit aussi La Sieste (1889–1890)

Contexte historique et généalogie de l’image
La toile a été réalisée entre décembre 1889 et janvier 1890, pendant le séjour de Van Gogh à l’asile de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Elle fait partie des œuvres de sa dernière période et figure aujourd’hui dans les collections du musée d’Orsay à Paris.
Van Gogh s’inspire ici d’un motif de Jean-Frédéric Millet : la composition provient d’un dessin (ou d’une gravure) lié aux « Quatre heures de la journée » / « La Sieste » de Millet. Van Gogh considérait Millet comme un maître de la représentation paysanne et a souvent repris et « traduit » ses compositions en intensifiant la couleur et la touche.
Description formelle (ce que l’on voit)
Format : huile sur toile, environ 73 × 91 cm (dimensions muséales).
Sujet : deux paysans allongés, un homme et une femme, reposant au milieu d’un champ fraîchement fauché ; à l’arrière-plan, meules, charrette et un paysan au travail. Près des dormeurs, détail important : les faucilles et une paire de sabots posés signes évidents du travail interrompu.
Composition et organisation spatiale
Van Gogh conserve la structure générale du modèle de Millet (deux figures allongées au premier plan, paysage agricole en profondeur) mais opère plusieurs choix formels qui transforment la scène :
La diagonale formée par le corps des dormeurs crée un mouvement visuel qui guide le regard de l’avant-plan vers l’arrière-plan.
Les meules et le champ derrière eux forment des masses géométriques simples (plans horizontaux et volumes arrondis) qui équilibrent la composition.
L’espace est relativement peu profond : Van Gogh aplatit légèrement les plans par le traitement de la couleur et des touches, privilégiant la surface picturale plutôt qu’une illusion d’espace profonde.
Couleur, lumière et touche
Palette : contraste marqué bleu / jaune les vêtements et ombres des dormeurs tirent vers des bleus froids, tandis que la paille, les meules et le sol sont dominés par des ocres, des jaunes chauds et des bruns. Ce contraste de complémentaires renforce la vibration chromatique et l’intensité lumineuse.
Lumière : l’effet est celui d’une lumière de midi, sèche et tranchée, qui écrase légèrement les volumes et accentue la chaleur du paysage méridional d’où le titre La Méridienne.
Pinceau : courte touche rythmée et nervurée, ondulations de la matière qui suivent les volumes (la paille, la texture des vêtements). Van Gogh « traduit » ici la structure du dessin originel en une « langue » picturale de couleurs et de coups de pinceau.
Sens et lectures possibles
Repos et dignité du travail paysan : la scène célèbre le repos du midi comme moment légitime et nécessaire après la tâche, sans pathos. Les objets de travail laissés à portée (faucilles, sabots) rappellent la réalité du labeur.
Translation symbolique : par la couleur et la touche, Van Gogh ne se contente pas de copier Millet ; il « traduit » l’économie de valeurs claires-obscures en une vibration chromatique qui donne à la scène une charge émotionnelle personnelle empathie, paix robuste mais aussi mélancolie contenue.
Rapport à l’artiste et à son état : peint pendant son internement, le choix du sujet paysans au repos peut être lu comme une quête de simplicité et de consolation dans la nature et les gestes humains ordinaires. La maîtrise intense de la couleur témoigne d’une énergie créatrice remarquable malgré les troubles personnels.
Technique et détails remarquables
Van Gogh amplifie les contrastes chromatiques et transforme la ligne millétienne en rythmes de peinture : par exemple, la répétition des coups de pinceau pour rendre la paille crée une texture proche du motif décoratif, presque ornemental.
Les vêtements bleus des dormeurs, loin d’être neutres, isolent les figures du paysage doré et focalisent l’attention ce bleu calme a aussi une valeur psychologique (repos, retrait).
Les éléments périphériques (le petit groupe de personnages/charrette à l’arrière) servent à inscrire la scène dans le cycle du travail agricole sans voler la primauté au repos des deux figures.
Position dans l’œuvre de Van Gogh
Cette œuvre appartient à la dernière période provençale de Van Gogh : recherches chromatiques intenses, reprise de modèles (Millet), et une peinture où la matière et le rythme pictural deviennent véhicule d’expression émotionnelle. La Méridienne illustre bien son processus : appropriation d’un motif rural traditionnel et transposition expressive par la couleur et la touche.
Observations finales (effet sur le spectateur)
La toile produit un double effet : au premier regard, une scène simple et calme deux personnes qui dorment puis, au second regard, une force picturale : la couleur et le geste de la main de Van Gogh transforment l’anecdotique en expérience visuelle palpitante. L’œuvre nous invite à comprendre le repos non comme absence mais comme moment riche, rythmé et essentiel, rendu par une peinture qui oscille entre compassion humaine et exaltation chromatique.
