Medical researchers, doctors, and scientists are engaged in an emerging field called meteoropathy, which measures physiological changes when the weather changes. Long considered subjective or generalized feelings, scientists are measuring changes in hormonal levels, intracranial pressure, cardiovascular stress, receptivity of nerve ends in joints, muscles, and tissues. The body’s reaction occurs most abruptly during changes in barometric pressure. Thus, the saying: ‘I feel a storm coming in.” While long wondered about – Hippocrates wrote about it – science has only recently been able to measure multiple physiological changes in synch with weather patterns. Some folx are more sensitive to (read: notice) internal changes. The physiology of some folx may make those changes more overtly problematic, resulting in migraines, significant body aches and joint pain, dizziness, increased blood pressure, irritability, and other symptoms.
If you feel it in your bones, it is probably true. More than a weather predictor, absorb this information as knowledge that even if you are not one of those folx more sensitive to external and internal changes, the big weather patterns in the universe are nonetheless impacting you. Our physiology changes. Humans become grumpy as a species-wide internal weather condition, in sync with nature. (By the way. If it is happening to us, it is probably happening to other species as well.) Measures can be taken. Just as we are advised to “batten down the hatches”, preventive care at the onset of atmospheric changes – more careful hydration, slow movement stretching, slowing down, some doctors recommend magnesium and B2 – takes care of the whole body and eases internal reactive stress points. This is what it means to be in tune with the universe. A little less achy and grumpy than we could be if not taking measures, we’ll make better decisions and be a tiny bit happier.
