Kaikille Pohjolan asukkaille, päätin kertoa aurinkomeditaation, jonka
sain ihan itselle tiedoksi......jos väsyttää tai muuten haluaa energiaa,
eikä aina ole mahdollista lähteä etelään:

rentouta itsesi syvällisesti, jaloista päähän. Ja sitten ala vetää puoleesi
Aurinkomme tietoisuutta. Koe sen olemus, kuumuus, miljoonat asteet.
Kuvittele makaavasi aurinkorannalla, tai sitten itse Auringossa. Älä
anna sen korventaa! Tavoite on tulla yhdeksi Auringon energian,
elämää ja valoa antavan olemuksen/tietoisuuden kanssa. Mene niin lähelle kuin voit/ tämä on kuin sielun matka valoon ja ytimeen.

Olin kuulema ihan eri näköinen ohjaajan mielestä tämän keskittymisen
jälkeen, ja tuntui että Auringon energia ei ehdy, no ei niin kauan kuin
se palaa tässä aurinkokunnassa. Onhan sitten ne isommat auringot,
jos haluat niiden tehoa kutsua omaan tajuntaan. Valoportaalien raken-
tamisessa sai myös energiaa, sekin tulee tuolta yläpuolelta, mutta
aurinkoenergia oli jotenkin kuumempaa.  

Sitten varaankin matkan etelään ja odottelen tutustumismatkoja/ NYT-
hetki-meditaatiota hyvä käyttää siinäkin.. minulla oli hauskaa aamu-
bussissa tehdä taikoja, kun kukaan ei arvannut, mutta näkivät kyllä
kun lähdin..

Jos taas tarvitset lepoa/on univaikeuksia, kutsu Kuun viilentävää energiaa ja yön lepoa luoksesi.

Betelgeuse (also known as alpha ori) is a very large star, an M supergiant. This is because it has evolved far from the state in which stars spend most of their lives, known as the main sequence. For stars on the main sequence, which includes our Sun, there is simple proportionality between size and mass, and also a simple scaling for luminosity. For evolved stars the situation is less simple. Betelgeuse is more than 1000 times larger than the Sun, and 50000 times as luminous, but only about 20 times as massive. Most of the light from Betelgeuse comes out in the infrared, however, which is very different from the Sun. One consequence of the advanced evolutionary state of Betelgeuse is that it probably was much more massive when it was on the main sequence, and has already lost a significant fraction of its mass (probably more than half) in a stellar wind.
There are many stars that are as massive as Betelgeuse is now, and probably many that are as massive as Betelgeuse was when it was on the main sequence. Of the 100,000,000,000 (100 billion=10^11) or so stars in our galaxy, it is estimated that approximately 1% have main sequence masses greater than 30 times that of the Sun, which is where Betelgeuse may have started out. A very crude estimate is that such stars spend 1% of their lives as supergiants, which would suggest 10,000,000 stars similar to Betelgeuse in our galaxy.

In spite of this fact, there are very few stars which are visible to the naked eye which are as large as Betelgeuse. This is simply a consequence of the fact that we can distinguish bright stars in only a small fraction of the galaxy. Another one is Mira, in the constellation Cetus. Mira is probably larger than Betelgeuse, so large that it is thought that the outer layers of the star are barely held together by gravity. Mira is known to pulsate and eject its outer layers, probably in large part because of its weak gravity. Possibly the most massive known star is eta carina, which may have been 150 times as massive as the Sun when it first formed, and may be 50 - 60 times as massive as the Sun currently. In the 1830s eta carina underwent a tremendous outburst during which it became a brilliant naked eye object and ejected an amount of gas with mass approximately equal to the mass of the Sun.

It is likely that the minimum main sequence mass for a star which will eventually make a black hole is 8 - 10 times the mass of our Sun. This is quite a bit less than Betelgeuse had when it was on the main sequence, and there are many such stars in our galaxy.
