today's virtual field trip. I'm Petty Officer Patrick Enright and I'm joined by a Navy scientist, Dr. Burton Nooner, who's here with me to talk a little bit about how light works. Dr. Nooner, how are you today? Very good. Good to meet you, Patrick. Good to meet you as well.  What made you want to become a scientist? Ever since I was a young kid, I was completely fascinated by space, astronomy, Albert Einstein, the theory of relativity, black holes and neutron stars that led me to the general stuff. Very cool stuff. Led me to the study of physics and now I find myself here today as a civilian scientist with the Navy. So we're going to break it down to the basics today. We're going to talk a little bit about light, right? Correct. So I just got here in San Diego a couple of days ago and I noticed you got these beautiful blue skies out here and I had a question. I was wondering, why is the sky blue? Can you explain that to me? That's a classic question. I asked my parents that very same question and many others like it. So let's talk about light for a moment. The reason that our sky is blue is that on a clear blue day, you have an atmosphere full of tiny particles generally smaller than the wavelength of light and what happens there is they scatter light in all different directions and we know the white light of the sun. You can see it. What happens there is those particles scatter primarily the blue colors first and other colors less strongly. So when we look up at the sky in a clear day, we see that blue color. But things are very different at sunset or sunrise. Or it's reds and oranges and yellows. It does look different and the reason that is true is because sunlight propagates through a lot more atmosphere and what happens there is now most of those blue and green colors have been filtered out or scattered and what remains is the orange and red left part of the spectrum and that's what we see as that darker, richer color of the sunset. That sounds pretty cool. Can we show that in the lab at all? Or is there a way to do experiments and check that since we're here in your lab? We are in the lab and we can show that with a pretty simple experiment. So what I have here is a cup of standard milk that you could buy in the store you'd find in your house. I'm going to put some standard milk here and what we're going to do is put some in this large cup. And I'm going to add about a quart of water. This is just normal tap water, right? Normal tap water, fresh water. This is an experiment I could do at home if I wanted to. You could do this, yes. And what we're going to see here is a very dilute concentration. So what we already see when we take a look at it, there's white light in the room. It's very dilute. It does look blue though, right? It does look blue and that's what we're going for because milk is comprised primarily of very small particles similar to the atmosphere and that they are smaller than the wavelength of light. And so, again, it's scattering the blue very strongly first. And so that's what we see when we look around. The light's coming in from around the room and we see that blue color. But, again, we can also recreate the sunset. And the way we do that is in a different setup, now we're going to look at what light looks like through. Now this is a white lamp, but if you see right coming through this water, it now looks a bit... It looks a lot more orange. So it's because it's traveling much further through the water. It's scattering all the blue out. All the blue is being scattered out and what we see just like out of sunset is what's left over is mostly the orange and red colors. That's very cool. Okay, but what about clouds? Can you explain what's going on there? Well, you might think that they're similar, but in fact, clouds and the atmosphere are quite different. Clouds are comprised of huge collections of water droplets. Those water droplets are a bit larger than the wavelength of light. So they behave differently than the atmospheric particles. Because they're larger than the wavelength of light, they scatter light also, but they don't prefer any particular color. They just scatter all the light. And so what you see then is the white light coming from the sun hits the clouds and scatters all those colors. So we see them as that bright, diffuse white color. Interesting. Can you show us that at all? That one is very easy to show. So in this case, I have the same type of milk, I just didn't dilute it at all. And as I said, milk is comprised of very small particles, but also some larger ones. But the key point that clouds and milk share in common is that they're very dense, because the cloud is very large, it's very dense. So there's a lot of particles in here. So really what's happening is any bit of light that's hitting this milk just wants to scatter all those colors out. So it looks quite a bit different from this dilute concentration, but when they're so dense like this, you're just going to see that white appearance like the cloud. Interesting. So because it's scattering all the colors of the rainbow, the ROYGBIV, it's just coming out. So all of the colors of light combine and it's just white. Correct. Interesting. So that's visible light, but I've heard there's also invisible light. Does that get filtered by the clouds as well? It's a key point. So we can see visible light with our eyes, the ROYGBIV you talked about. And there are other things that we can't see. For example, infrared light, which we think of as heat in some cases, and also ultraviolet light, which many of us have learned in school, can give us a sunburn, something we don't look out for. So an interesting fact about clouds is that we now know that on a very cloudy day, you still can get about half of the ultraviolet light through the clouds down to the ground. So I learned this the hard way several years ago. You may be outside, it's a beautiful day, but it's cloudy and so it feels cooler. You might think, I'm not going to get a sunburn today. That ultraviolet light can still get down to the surface. And therefore, I want to make sure, don't forget your sunscreen and your hat, even if it's a cloudy day. Because you can still get some ultraviolet exposure. That's really good advice. So I got a question for you. All right, as you can see, I'm a sailor. I've been out on ships, I've been out in the ocean. And one of my favorite things to do is I like going out and looking out over the ocean. So that's got me thinking, how does light interact with sea water? Does that have any effect on it? It's very important that you bring that up because one might think, well, clouds behave a certain way because they're made of water. Maybe ocean water is the same, but it turns out that they're not. Ocean water is much more complicated because it's water with salt and a whole bunch of other organic material, plankton, other things like that. And what you may have seen in some ocean documentaries is, you have crystal clear blue water that you see right through it. And it has that blue color. Also, sometimes scuba divers take pictures or videos when you're near the coast. It looks more green, you can't see as far. So there's a lot going on there. What's going on is now the combination of scattering, which we talked about, but also attenuation. And so scattering is when light is redirected somewhere else. Just like we talked about here, it hits the cloud or the milk and it scatters back. Absorption is a little bit different. Absorption will take that light and turn it into something else like heat or another process. So it's light that you have essentially lost from the original. And then the final concept that we have to understand is called attenuation. Attenuation simply means how much light makes it from here to there. And when you have scattering plus absorption, combine those. You get attenuation. Interesting. So scattering is like the light hits something and then whatever bounces off is what's scattered. And then what's absorbed is what stays in and becomes heat kind of like the pavement on a hot summer day or something like that. Correct, something like that. That's interesting, but I'd like to see if we can show that in the lab as well. Can we do that? We can, we can definitely see that. Cool. So now, continuing with our theme of what we've talked about. We have some milk, we also have some water, and one other material. So- This stuff right here. I have in the back here a simple glass of clean, fresh water. It doesn't tend to absorb or scatter much. So we would expect it not to attenuate very much. The milk, as we said, is a very strong scatterer, which is why it looks white. It doesn't absorb much, so therefore, most of the color comes back. Now, in this one, we have a new material. It's a dye or an ink. It looks very dark. It's nearly black. And the reason that is, it doesn't scatter much. It's different from the milk, but it does absorb a lot. And what we now see with this experiment, I put light from the top. You can see that the scattering and absorbing materials look very different, but now we talk about attenuation, and that looks similar because- People block out the light on the bottom. Exactly, because if either scattering or absorption is strong, you're going to get a lot of attenuation. So what you'll see here, two very dark spots underneath these two materials, whereas the clean, fresh water, if you look down there, it's very clear. You can see the light coming right through it. So that shows the differences between those three parameters. Interesting. So let's bring that back around to my question. How does that relate to the ocean and how that works? The reason it relates very importantly to the ocean is because when you have that clear, crystal clear blue water we talked about, that type of water will not absorb much and not scatter much. It does absorb a little bit in the non-blue colors. So you can see very far and you see a bit of a blue color. That's because the blue can propagate pretty far. But in the coastal areas where you might have a scuba diver taking pictures of fish and other material, they in that water will see that they can't see as far. And that's because there's now a lot more scattering happening and the materials in the water, the plankton I mentioned, they will absorb more of those blue colors. The result is a very different property. So it looks green. You can't see as far. And all of these are of interest to the Navy and also to many schools, research organizations. So it kind of depends on what water you're in and the conditions there. So that sort of thing. That's interesting. Time to understand that a lot of your research here is about lasers, correct? It also is. Yes, lots of lasers. That's super cool. So we actually had a chance to put together a package going over some of Dr. Neuner's research. Let's take a look at that right now. When you look at a laser, you can tell right away that it's special. You might be wondering, what are some of the key differences? First, when you look at sunlight, it's broad in its spectrum. That means across the visible spectrum, it's composed of all colors. Whereas a laser is more monochromatic. It's composed primarily of one color, giving it that distinct color of red, green, blue, or any other color it may have. The second key difference is that sunlight is broad in the way it lights up a room or outside. That applies to both sun and lamp light. However, the laser is what we call collimated. It's very pointed along single direction. It doesn't spread out as it propagates very much. So you can do very interesting experiments and tests using laser light. Many of us have used lasers before. Perhaps you have a cat or a dog and you've played with a laser pointer as a toy. That's fairly safe. However, there are some bigger laser systems that may be dangerous if used improperly. The good news is that there are many best practices and safe practices that we all use daily when using such systems to keep each other safe. Now following these practices, you can manufacture precise mechanical parts. You can treat medical conditions. You can communicate information around the globe. You can even better understand your environment. Ever since I was young, I became very interested in the Apollo space program, knowing that we could put a man on the moon. What got me interested in lasers and optics specifically was that there were some amazing experiments that the astronauts brought to the moon. One of them was what we call a retroflector array or a set of special mirrors that when you illuminate it with a light source, like a laser, it will come back to that original source. The reason they are put there is so that we could take lasers on Earth through a telescope and shine that light from Earth all the way to the moon. It reflects off of that special mirror, comes all the way back. And by knowing how fast the speed of light is, how fast it travels, we can calculate with good precision the distance between the Earth and the moon. I'm excited to come to work every day because I get to work on new and innovative concepts. When the sailors are out at sea, they need to be connected and one very reliable way that they've been connected in the past has been to use radio waves. They're very reliable. They're very useful for the Navy. However, we're looking into some additional innovative ways perhaps to get more data transfer from point A to point B and we can do that using light. It's exciting to try these new and innovative concepts and to do new experiments in the lab all while keeping our sailors safe. All right, and we're back. Thank you very much, Dr. Neal. That was very fascinating. In the video, you were talking about how you can communicate using light. Is that correct, underwater? Yes. Okay. What would that look like? Can we demonstrate some of that at all? There's such a thing as a modem. We have radio modems. A classic radio modem is a cell phone. A modem is something that turns the data that we want or that we want to send into a way to make it go from point A to point B. A cell phone, as I said, uses radio waves, but there are ways to communicate in different forms. The optical modem is one way to do that where we have light waves. What we have here is a set of two, very small. We have a whole system here, but just in the palm of your hand, these little two parts right here. Are these lasers? These aren't lasers. That's a great question. I know if I needed to be covered in a suit or something. You would need some safety gear if you were in a laser lab with lasers on. But what we have here are two optical modems, and each one has a flashing blue light. The blue light is an LED. Very similar to what you might have in a flashlight at home. What we can do is turn the data that we want and send it from point A to point B by the units of flashing light. Okay. Can we try it? Yes. We definitely can. What we have here is a system where we're going to power it on, and it'll look like flashing light. Whoa. Okay, cool. Yes. I first heard there was a beep. That means we're good to go. We're on. We're ready to rock. Yes. What are we going to send over this? So we're going to try sending first some music. Make sure that the link, the communication, does what we think it's going to do. Okay. So what I can do here is play some music. It worked. Yes. What if we cover up the light? You can try it. And I was not going to burn my hand. It's all good. All right, so it just stopped down here in a beep. Yes, the beep. Exactly. Cool. Awesome. Yes. So this is actually transmitting the music over the light, correct? Yes. It doesn't have to be 100 percent. Look, if I block it a little bit, maybe even with a screen, it'll still get through. But it is a true fact that if you fully block any signal, whether it's a radio signal or even light signal, it does have the possibility to drop out. But the cool thing is with new technology, if you only partially block it, you can still get that signal through. That's very cool. So I'm being told I have a text message here from one of the students that's watching in. Rodette asks, where does a rainbow come from? Can you explain that at all? Rambos are cool. I think most of us have seen a rainbow before, and I've in fact even seen a double rainbow. So really, what does it mean? Well, I can tell you all about how a rainbow works. So it's very interesting. People always say I want to find the plot of goal at the end of the rainbow. But a rainbow is not something that starts at one spot and ends at another that you can go to. It is always fixed at a certain angle. So generally, a typical way you might see a rainbow is the sun is behind you. In front of you are some clouds or some water droplets, let's say, has just rained. And the reason that's happening is I have a graphic here, primarily because the water droplets in the air, they take a spherical, a round shape, and what's happening is the light rays are coming in and comprised of white light from the sun. They come straight in. And then what happens is at this first surface, they start to refract, which means bend.  So then it starts refracting. It reflects off of one surface in the back, and then refracts again, which is to bend at another the second surface. It spreads the white light out. It spreads it just like a prism does, and it's at about 42 degrees angle. So if the sun is behind you looking forward, you're going to see it at about a 42 degree angle. So no matter where you go, you can't ever get to the end of the rainbow. But it is a beautiful sight to see those colors of the rainbow spread out into the spectrum with your eyes. That's really cool. So I think you've got me convinced. I want to be a scientist. What do I need to do in order to get there? In order to get all this, it does help to go and be passionate about science and math. That's typical. But what's cool is now a lot of schools have STEM programs, science, technology, engineering, and math. Whether it's during the school day or after school, those are great programs to get involved in. And I also think though, in my opinion, it's very important to also study very carefully reading and writing. Because if you don't document really well what you've worked on, it's going to be very hard to explain to other people what you've done. You never know. You could have the next Albert Einstein in our midst if you can explain it really well. That's pretty cool. So we learned a lot today about how light works, visible light, things like that, and how we can transmit data over light as well. I'm told you have some people in your lab here that work on invisible light. Is that correct? Absolutely. There's lots of people doing a variety of work here. Excellent. So I think we have a video that goes over that. Let's take a look at that right now. Charlie. Charlie, where'd you go? Hi. I'm Dr. Brittany Lynn. I work here at Space Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific. I'm looking for my sailor friend, Charlie, and I have a special camera to help me find him since I can't see him anywhere. I'll show you how it works in a few minutes, but I'm going to follow him right now. I can see his footprints. Oh, there he is. Oh, and he crawled out of the table. Go around the table. Oh, and they stopped. Charlie. Charlie, where'd you go? Oh, there he is. I can see him through this plastic that's hiding him. I see you, Charlie. I can see you. I can see you. Hi, Dr. Lynn. Hi. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you? I'm doing great. How did you find me? I found you with this camera. It's a special camera that lets me see things that the eyes can't see. So I can see invisible things. Can you show me how it works, please? Definitely. I can show you how it works. Let's go set up some experiments. Cool. Great. So, Charlie, we've set up some experiments in this room to help us understand how to interact with a world around us to learn about things that we didn't already know. Okay. So we're going to use our senses to investigate and to learn some facts about the world. So I've filled these two cups with water. I'll tell you what's water inside. And I want you to tell me what's different about these two cups, because I can tell a difference with my camera. So you want me to tell you what's different? They're the same cup? Eye senses. You're using your vision to test. There, you look like they're the same fill level. Different senses. Different senses. They smell the same. Okay. But they don't feel the same. What's different about it? This one's warm. That one's warm. And that one's not warm? That one's not warm. Okay. Let's take a look through the camera and see what we have. That is what this camera sees. That's so cool. So what we can see is that this hot cup on the right is showing us the heat of the water. That's showing up as a brighter color. It's more hot. The cup on the left is cooler. It's showing up as a cooler color. It's darker, darker blue. Are those dark spots the water drops that spilled off of my finger? They are. They are. So what we have is a camera that's able to see what? Temperature. Temperature. A temperature camera. Wouldn't it be cool if we could see temperature with our eyes? Oh, that would be amazing. That'd be amazing. Then you could have seen the teapot heating up from cold water to hot water when I was preparing this experiment for you. I would never get burned again. You would never get burned again. You know, it was great doing experiments, but we've got to run. We've got to do some video for some students to show them what's going on in our labs. So let's go. Can't wait. Excellent. Come on, guys. All right, everybody. We're back. And as you can see, we've changed locations. I'm here with Dr. Brittany Lynn. How are you today? I'm doing great. How about yourself? Not too bad at all. So I'm told you have an experiment set up here to show us a little bit more about how light works in visible and visible. Is that correct? That's correct. Cool. What do we got here? Well, the video you just saw, we were talking about invisible light and how it works with different wavelengths, and that camera was different from that one. So I'm going to show you the difference between the two, and then we'll talk more about the cameras and how they work. Okay, cool. All right. So what are we doing? We're both going to be light. I'm going to be infrared light, invisible light. Okay. You're going to be visible light. So you're going to step on these blue lines. That's going to be your wavelength, and I'm going to step on the red lines. I have a lot more lines than you. Is that okay? A lot more lines. Yes, that's perfect. All right, cool. All right, so what are we going to do? So you're going to go the same speed I'm going. So keep your head the same as mine. You're going to take more steps in me, and let's just move along. All right, let's do the thing. Ready? One, two, three. Okay, I got a lot more steps to go right now. I feel like yours is a little easier. Yes, that's definitely true. So I gave you the blue ones on purpose. So what do we just do there? What does that mean? So what did you observe about our differences and what we were doing that was different from each other? Well, I was definitely taking a lot more steps. More steps. I'm getting my steps in for the day. So my cardio is good.  Excellent. So I was indicated here by these steps here. So you were the visible light. You had to take a lot of steps to get across the room. Yeah, for sure. I only took a few steps to get across the room. I'm the infrared or invisible light. So that means the wavelength is longer for invisible light than visible light. Okay. We were stepping on the tops of these wavelengths. This is how we describe light as by this sine wave. There was something else that was different, too, though. Did you notice anything else? I mean, I feel like I'm definitely a little more worn out, you know, for taking all those steps. Is that about how we were going? Yeah, it was more energy. Okay. Cool. So the more steps you have to take, the more energy you have to use. And that's the same with the light here. Infrared light has lower energy than visible light does. So that's what describes how these cameras work that we saw before are different. If we step over here, what we have is, here's the sensor on the back of a camera. Same kind of sensor you're going to have in a cell phone, the cameras we're using right here, or the camera we saw before in the video. Is this Charlie? That's Charlie. Okay. Well, he'd be upside down in this picture, but we'll just ignore that for now. Okay. So every camera sensor has pixels. Now, the pixels are what's different about the different cameras. In the visible camera that we have, let's say right here, what happens is we have blue energy, blue photons. That's visible light. That's visible light. Okay. And the red ones are the invisible light. And you can think of it like the blue ones go into a bucket and fill it up, but the red ones are too small.  So we can only see the higher energy visible light photons. Okay. Now, if we look at a different kind of camera, like we saw in the video, what we have, we can imagine being a bucket with a small hole in the top. So it only lets in the invisible light photons, but the big high-energy photons just kind of bounce off.  Exactly. We only see the small photons here. Well, that's interesting. And I like your diagrams. I like your drawings. These are really cool, but we're in your lab right now. And there's a lot of exciting stuff here. Can you show us some of that stuff at all? Definitely. And there's another kind of light we didn't discuss out here, and that's ultraviolet light. Okay. So now ultraviolet light has an even shorter wavelength, and that makes a difference because I have lasers like that. In my lab, too. Cool. Let's just check them out. So what we'll see in here is this is a laser that's infrared laser. This is a laser. That's a laser. This big box is a laser. I'm going to take your word for it. We have another orange laser over here that's an ultraviolet laser.  Those are also ultraviolet lasers. So all different kinds of systems that we use here in the lab. So what would you use these kind of lasers for? Like what is the application for? So in this space what we generally do is look at new materials. How do we make new materials that can do things that you can't do yet for any kind of purpose? And maybe you'll even see them in your next cell phone that we're going to make. So one of the systems that we use, one of these ultraviolet lasers for, is this system back here. Oh, wow. Okay. So this looks very, very technical. Can you explain kind of what I'm looking at here? Do you maintain this whole system? I maintain this whole system. And people on my team maintain this system. So even though we may be scientists, or a physicist, we have to understand how to work systems like this. This is a high vacuum system. It helps us make new materials on different substrates so we can just see what they do, measure them, and see what the different parameters are. But in order to maintain these systems, I have to have a background in mechanical systems, in vacuum systems. I have to be able to do all the cables and electrical systems. Wow. I have to run it with the computers and make my own programs. So everything we do here is very multidisciplinary. So did you build this yourself? No, no, no. Oh, okay, cool, cool. But if you wanted to. If I wanted to? Yeah, we could. I'm seeing a lot of interesting stuff on here that's not, it doesn't seem like, you know, lasers to me. Like there's a bike chain, there's aluminum foil. What's going on with that? Yeah, great eyes. So some of the stuff we use in labs is very similar to what you might find at home. This actually came from my home. This is just aluminum foil. It's helping us shield the system right here. This isn't like space aluminum foil. No, no, this is just like regular aluminum foil. Like I can make a baked potato. I can do really cool science with. Up here, the bike chain you pointed out. That helps us move things inside up and down. That's the exact same thing as a bike chain. We even have gears and sprockets in there. In all of these systems, if you reorganize this, maybe you could ride it around like a bicycle. Okay, that's cool. So what happens in here? Is this like a big chamber? Like what would you use this particular piece of equipment? Yeah, so we shoot lasers in here and they hit different materials and explode them onto other materials. It's not a big bang. It's under a vacuum and so you're not going to hear anything because sound requires a medium to propagate through air. Interesting. But if you were to look in here, you'd see a plasma forming. What we do in this group is a lot of work with plasmas. We do more plasma work in the room next door. We can go check it out if you'd like. Real quick though, what is a plasma? Can you describe what that is? Is that just like a ball of goo? No, plasma is something that is the way we describe the state of the matter. So it's just a collection of excited electrons and neutral media. So if you just like take electrons like your chemistry class and you start stripping them off of molecules and they're all in one place, we call that a plasma. And so we'll see more about that in the next room. Cool. So what you said is that you you know about all these other systems but particularly you're an optical scientist, correct? I am. So what does that mean? Like can you tell me about your background at the University of Arizona, the College of Optical Sciences, for an undergraduate and a PhD? Both in optical sciences. So what I learned about was telecommunications. Exactly what Dr. Newner just showed you. Where you have information travel through light in the internet, through your cell phones, all these kinds of things. Displays, like on your cell phone. Cameras, like on your cell phone. Cell phones really embody a lot of things that we do in optical sciences. But just like this, it's a combination of physics and math and engineering that you have to have to pull together something where you can really start making a difference. Excellent. Well, you said you have another lab over here with even more exciting stuff. Let's go check that out. So what are we doing in here? You said this was plasma in here? Yeah, we make plasma in here to do all sorts of different measurements and studies with. What we're going to start with is showing how we use plasmas with this system over here. This is cool. What's going on here? And then we have optical components. We'll maybe get into that a little bit. I can show you what they all do. And what we do with that is we make plasma in air or on materials in order to make them into kind of a speaker. So when you have a plasma, you have a lot of like charges. They don't like to be together, and so they want to expand very quickly. That expansion happens at faster than the speed of sound. You might have heard of Mach 1, Mach 2, or something like that. So they span three times the speed of sound. If you go that fast, you get a supersonic shock wave that starts to travel, and that becomes very loud. Apparently, we have a video of some of these experiments going on. Let's go ahead and take a look at that video real quick. Okay, so that was really cool. What I really liked is you looked like you just suspended a ball of light in air, and that was the plasma, right? That was the plasma. So what was the sound that I was hearing? So that sound is that expansion, that supersonic shock expansion. You can hear that in there, but that expansion is what makes the sound. And so what we're doing is these lasers have a certain rate that they fire at, and so every time that fires, we get a shock. And so you can hear that with your ears, just like a speaker does. Interesting, so you can, in theory, you can make a speaker so I can play music over the light. Exactly, or communicate with someone else. So a lot of what we do here is based on communication. We want to help people talk to other people wherever they are. So we have cool do-hickies and do-dads over here. I don't want to touch any of them. Can you explain to me what some of those are? Definitely I can. So over here I have some other examples. So what we have here, this is a lens. We use this, and you can touch it, just don't touch the shiny surfaces. I'll do my best. So we use those to focus the light. So we'll take a big beam of light and we'll focus it in to make a sharp point. For our system, that's where we make a plasma. So this is what you have a whole big bucket of light on the edge. That is something that has a flat surface on one side and a wedge surface on the other side. So what we can do is pick off little bits of light to do some kind of analysis on the laser beam while we're doing experiments. That's really cool. So what else do we have? So this is a mirror. This is not like the mirror you have at home though. The mirror you have at home is for visible wavelengths of light. You can see yourself, it looks kind of like aluminum. This is a dielectric mirror. So if you can see at home there, it looks like it's blue to you depending on the angle. But it perfectly reflects the infrared. So to the infrared, it looks just like the mirror at home.  Exactly. Now this is how we stop the laser beams. So once we're done with them, we don't want them just shooting around the room anymore. We have special things. They're called beam blocks that collect the light and then dispose of it safely. Interesting. So what is inside this is graphene. So it's just like a really, really thick layer or graphite of black that perfectly absorbs the light. Does this get really, really hot when you shoot a laser into it? Yeah, our lasers, it does get hot. You might see signs all over the labs here that say caution. We usually have things that are a little bit dangerous in here, and so we have these a lot of safety features. Interesting. So what is this crystal looking thing that I have right here? The reason we got it at home is that it's damaged. That was because our lasers are very high energy. It looks like it got a little charred there in the middle. Yeah, and so what happened is the laser beam hit the middle and then it just exploded the glue that sits in the middle. So sometimes with these high power lasers, the lower power equipment just doesn't work very well. So this, it looks like when I'm looking at this, I think it's bending the light. Is that correct? That's what it's supposed to do? Exactly. It reflects some of the light and then transmits some of the light. So we kind of use it to either combine two beams and it looks like all of this is sort of either to manipulate the light or stop the light or change it in some sort of way, right? That's cool. And what is this camera looking thing right here? This is somewhat similar to the camera that we had in the last video, except for this one looks at infrared light. Smaller, for sure. Definitely smaller. It doesn't quite see the thermal infrared. That's a much longer wavelength. It's not on, wait. Here we go. Everything is green now. Yeah, everything's green. That's a fluorescent imager. And so it takes wavelengths that go from visible to infrared and it makes them visible so I can see that whole spectrum. So what are some of the other kind of real-world things that you would use lasers for? Other in the wild? In the wild. Real-world. So you have laser pointers at home. Those are kind of things you might use in your daily life. You might see lasers in laser rangers. So we have them in the military as well. But even at home, if you have something that's a range finder, that's a laser inside. It's a very short pulse laser. It shoots out, comes back, and it measures the time it took for that pulse to get from one place to the other. Because I always travel at the same speed. So obviously the lasers that you can have at home and play with your cat, those are for the most part safe. But some of these seem a little dangerous. What do you guys do to stay safe here? Yeah, we're definitely focused on safety here. We have to always make sure we protect our eyes. Those are very important parts of your body and very sensitive. Sure. And so what we have, these are goggles. They're a little bit different than some go for it. So these goggles look a lot like swim goggles. Everything's green. Because we want to protect everything around. And the fact that they're green means that everything else is being blocked. We're only getting green light through the goggles. So everything else is going to get blocked. Now I wear these goggles when I work in here. I also wear ear protection. Because like you saw in the video, that noise was in the video. That's really loud in the lab. So we wear these ear buffs to help protect our hearing. Because you don't want to lose your hearing. What? You don't want to lose your hearing. I'm going to take these off. Yeah, these aren't great for conversations. Definitely blocked that a lot. What are some of the other ones here? These are different colors. These are stylish. These are for different wavelengths of lasers. So just like the wavelengths and the cameras make a difference. These block different colors. So these are past orange. Those past pink. These are the colors. And we have lots of safety features. That's exciting. So I have another question here from some of the students that are watching. This is from Madison. And then Madison asks, is ultraviolet light considered an invisible light? Well, definitely it is. So I have a picture here that we use in the lab that shows the different kinds of light that you have. So the visible light is this spectrum here. It goes from blue to red. This is light. This is higher energy. That's higher wavelength. The visible spectrum is just this little piece right here. Now, the infrared, which we were just talking about when we saw some scenes of, that's this section up here. Ultraviolet UV is down here. It has a higher energy and a smaller wavelength. But what's really cool is once you go even higher energy and shorter wavelengths, you get x-rays. Just like the doctor's office. Those are light sources. And then this stuff over here makes you into a superhero. That's how that works. Up here you have actually the radio waves that you can listen to. Microwave, we don't want to play in there. That's like the microwave that's in your house. Radio waves are the ones that you can listen to in your car radio. And then long radio waves, those travel a really long distance. Excellent. So even though these are just regular radio waves that we're listening to on our devices and things like that, that's still some sort of light. I think we're wrapping up all the time we have right now. Thank you guys so much. Dr. Lin, thank you very much for joining me. Well, thank you. I want to thank Dr. Neuner as well, as well as SpayWar for having us out here and showing us this today. I want everybody to join us for the next virtual field trip we have on behalf of Defense Media Activity and SpayWar and the United States Navy. Thanks, everybody, for joining us. We gotta wave goodbye. Bye, everybody.


Writing an essay can be a really daunting task and this is the same for either very short essays, comparative essays if you're thinking about comparing poetry or even literature and even slightly longer essays say for coursework. Now what I want to show you is that it doesn't need to be daunting, it's actually really straightforward and the main thing you need to understand is the PEE method which you can apply to any essay and this is useful not only for your English GCSE but this cuts across all other topics and disciplines so I'm going to show you a really easy way to approach writing any kind of essay using the point evidence explanation method. So let's get started. So now the first thing when you're answering any kind of essay first look at the question, focus in on the question but more specifically look at the key words. The key words are words within a question which tell you what kind of answer that the examiner is specifically looking for. Of course this is relevant to English but this can be for any topic and you focus in on that because that's exactly what you need to hone in on when you're answering the essay. Now I'll give you an example. So this is from a past paper and this is to do with English literature. So the question asks starting with this speech explore how Shakespeare presents ambition in Macbeth. You don't need to know this more than anything what I want to illustrate to you is the keywords that you focus in on. If you're looking at the whole sentence it can be really really confusing however if you focus in on the keywords it becomes so much easier to understand how to even position your essay. So as you can see in this question the first keyword is speech so what's been presented before you is a speech. The second keyword tells you to explore. In other words talk about for instance does Shakespeare use any interesting language does he use any interesting descriptions talk about that that is you exploring and the third keyword is ambition. The reason why I haven't highlighted Shakespeare on Macbeth is because you're not going to get any other texts you're not going to get around 20 different texts therefore you already know that when you're sitting and answering that question you're focusing in on Shakespeare on Macbeth. The keywords are the things that are less obvious hence why I focused in on that. Let's look at another example of what keywords mean. Now this is again another past paper question you don't need to know what this question is about in terms of the background. What is useful is to think about if you were to read this question out of context what you think might be the keywords. So it states how does priest use a character of the inspector to suggest ways that society could be improved. Here the keywords are firstly character the second inspector the third society and the fourth improved. Again I haven't mentioned priestly because it goes without saying you'll be given a text a piece of an extract written by him himself so you're not going to have to choose from different writers therefore that's not a keyword that is already implied. However what's not immediately obvious is number one character so being told to focus in on a specific character you're then given the name of the character this is an inspector so we can presume that there's lots of other characters but actually this question is asking you to focus in on this particular character the inspector. The third keyword is society so what message is being conveyed to you and the final is are you being told to focus in on how the inspector is showing ways that society can be improved. Let's look at a slightly longer question. So this states you need to think about the whole of the source. This text is from the middle of the short story how does the writer structure the text to interest your reader. This question is a little bit more abstract and a bit more vague. Now the reason why the first thing of highlighted is the whole of the source is because presumably this extract has is taken from a book or a play or even a poem because we don't know what the source is however you're not being asked to cut a specific paragraph or specific stands you have to look at the whole thing so you need to make sure you focus in on the whole thing from start to finish. The second of course is the source again it's very vague we've not been given a specific name so it could be lots of sources maybe from this question that you've been given so you're looking at that specifically that's why it's a keyword. The third keyword is it's from the middle of a short story so you didn't know it was from the middle and you've been told this so that's important information you need to highlight. The other point is a story so actually as I've mentioned before it was a poem but now we realize it's not a poem it's a story therefore that's not immediately obvious highlight that. The other keyword is structured how does it begin how does it develop and how does it end. The other keyword is interest what is it about this source that maybe would make you think hmm I want to learn more and the final thing is you are being asked for your opinion so the pronoun you you have to highlight that because you have to talk about what is your opinion this is one of the questions that actually asks you as a reader to say what would you pick this up. Now once you've gotten the keywords out of the way you focus on exactly what the question wants to look for and you've really made your focus laser thin by highlighting the keywords you now need to start by writing an introduction to your essay especially for the longer essays. Your introduction and this is for each paragraph and this is now to do with the point evidence explanation method the first line is a sentence that states the question as a statement the sentence will also have to have the keywords included and you'll end your introduction by stating this essay will examine the keywords in detail okay so make sure you clarify that so your first point in your introduction is always highlight the keywords that are included and then you end your introduction by saying this essay will examine so on. So for instance let's look at this example starting with the speech explore how Shakespeare presents ambition in Macbeth let's talk about the introduction paragraph the introductory paragraph you can frame it as such Shakespeare effectively uses the speech so I've mentioned the first keyword speech to present ambition so the presentation is tied to explore and of course I've then mentioned the other keyword ambition through using many literary techniques this can be for example alliteration metaphors and so on I don't need to go into that detail but I'll mention the keywords in that first sentence I've then added my own twist to it ambition is presented as destructive in Macbeth as it leads to his downfall look at how I finish my introduction this essay will examine how Shakespeare explores ambition in depth this is really important to bear in mind now once you've written your first introduction so of course this is for the much longer essays you then need to apply the PEE method to structure each of your paragraphs now when you begin your paragraph you start off with a point and this is the line that opens your paragraph it's short snappy and it goes straight to the point some words you can use to open your first paragraph so the PEE method is in my opinion if you're asked for your opinion or if you're not asked for your opinion you want to keep it in third person narrative so in other words the writer using third person pronouns it he she you can begin the writer uses or similarly this could be say for your second point or your second paragraph if it's for your first point firstly second point that follows secondly and so on so these are some ideas of how to start your point then once you've stated your point you give evidence this is taken from the text and referring back to the text and quoting showing it's just not your opinion a way to introduce evidence is by stating things like for example an example of this this is shown in the quote this can be seen and so on then you finish your paragraph by giving an explanation and adding analysis to this explanation you talk about where or why the evidence rather is significant how it affects the reader what technique is used and how this links back to the question so explanation is the bulk of the marks this is where you talk about why is the quote significant what effect does it have on us as readers what technique has a writer used but even within this for instance if it's for literature you can talk about context you can add all of that and how to introduce your explanation is this shows this suggests this implies sometimes you can hear about teachers referring to peel method point evidence explanation and then link however in this method you can also add the link within the explanation so you've talked about why the quotation is significant why it impacts us to the reader and then you link it back to the question but this is all within your explanation and of course when you're thinking about other ways to introduce it you could say you know this route makes the reader feel this has been used because use all of these terms to make your explanation clear and to clarify your points and also of course to add a depth of analysis then of course once you've written your separate paragraphs you've started a really good introduction you've linked it back to the question you've highlighted the keywords you've then written separate paragraphs using the point evidence explanation method you now want to round off your essay with a conclusion your conclusion bear in mind is actually fairly similar to your introduction it doesn't need to be very complicated however the only difference is rather than introducing the question as a statement and mentioning the keywords that you're going to use and what you will talk about in your essay you restate the question it's keywords and then say in your conclusion you've actually discussed all of these issues you've been asked in the question in depth and you round it off so for instance let's look back at the question starting with the speech explore how Shakespeare presents ambition mcbeth this is how you could write the conclusion to conclude Shakespeare's effectively used the speech to present ambition through using many literary techniques ambition has been presented as destructive in mcbeth as it leads to his downfall this essay has examined how Shakespeare explored ambition in depth it's as simple as that another example is going back to the priestly case how does priestly use the character of the inspector to suggest ways that society could be improved in conclusion priestly has effectively used the character of the inspector to suggest to ways that society can be improved by using many literary techniques society has been portrayed as a need of improvement as there are social inequalities this essay has examined how priestly uses an inspector to suggest social change in depth very simple you have essentially used very similar elements that would go in your introduction but you've stated it and rephrased it as your conclusion statement but essentially said and very different from your introduction that you have already done this in the body of your essay so that's all hopefully this shows that writing an essay shouldn't be something that's really complicated this is relevant to know especially the pe method not only for english but this applies to lots of your other topics so do learn this technique practice it over and over again because it has a really important impact not only on english but on all your other topics if you have to write an essay for those topics you need to use this method thank you for listening


Hey everyone this is Helena Hart and I'm here with my BFF and fellow coach Anya Grace today. We are so excited to get started. Welcome Anya. Thank you so much for being here. Hi Helena. I miss Helena. She truly is my best friend right now and I'm like where is my best friend? We've been doing so many live streams over on my channel. It's so weird to do it over Google Hangouts this way but we definitely want to come on and talk about this topic it's something we've been getting asked about so much in the comment sections of some of our other videos that we've done together and that is you know people wanting to know a powerful tool or almost like a shortcut into your feminine energy. Leo's being loud over there sorry. Hopefully the microphone's not picking it up. A powerful tool to shift you into your feminine energy and make you irresistible to men to bring your man closer than ever. We have so much to say on this topic so Anya let's just jump right in. I know we don't have too much time today. What is that number one tool or shortcut into your feminine energy? So the absolute number one trick and tool to drop into the feminine and activate it in the body is to be in your own body especially as women we are powerful when we are connected to our physical body and when we're in our physical body we have more energy that we can really work with and invite somebody else to experience with us. So number one tool is being in the body and the way to do this that Helena and I are actually really talking about today is meditation and what meditation does is it moves breath it moves energy through your whole system and that's essentially if you are a woman who wants to learn how to you know step into your full power beauty worth vibrancy magnetic attraction abilities then it's critical that you learn how to work with the energy that's moving through your body. So through meditation through you know centering into yourself physically that's the biggest trick that we are talking about today. Absolutely and that can be the hardest thing to do right. I know in one of our other live streams on you that we did together one of the main questions people asked was is it harder to get into your feminine energy when you're in love with a man or feeling strongly attracted to him and I was like you know what shockingly I'm just gonna say yes I think it is when we really like a guy it's it can be so easy to go up in our head and start thinking and over analyzing for everyone watching let us know do you have a problem with over analyzing like I can certainly get into and Anya maybe you as well that you know this will be so helpful for you so Anya I love everything you said and I just want to say hi to everyone joining Diana, Adri, Mary, Susan, Margaret, Sylvia, Tiffany, Sharon, Sherry, Sherry asked are you answering questions tonight we are going to try so if you guys have questions type them into the chat I know we don't have too much time so maybe towards the end or if it's like an on topic kind of question we'll definitely try and get the two as many as we can so Anya let's talk about how meditation can really you know move you from being up in your head and down into your heart where your true attraction power is as a woman yeah beautiful so what you were saying with or with that amazing question you know when you're in love with a man does that take us out of our feminine energy or make it harder to stay there and I think part of why it's it's harder to stay in that feminine power is that you really want to be with that person all the time and when we are with and united with a man all the time where we're always around them we kind of lose sense of what makes us confident on our own and sometimes if you're like me you'll have a tendency to drop all the things that make you happy and healthy and and often all the things that made him you know come close to you in the first place such as your love for movement and dance and yoga or reading just all the things that that when we're in a when we're single we fill up our life with all of these these activities that you know help us feel better and good so I think part of why it's harder to stay in that feminine energy when we're in relationship we have such a tendency to just drop all the things that we need to stay calm and confident so it's critical and this is one of the practices that I would do and I will do when I'm in a relationship with someone I will make sure that there's time every single day where I'm connecting to my heart and to my body and what happens is when that person comes back let's say they're at work and I'm home like this was a in one of my past relationships one of my exes or one of my partners he would um he had work kind of late so I had the evening just to be with myself and I would do yoga and meditate at night and then he would come home and I remember him coming home and I would just be in this like peaceful place where my body was so activated with my own energy my Shakti force the feminine energy my heart the feeling of love and then he would come in and just like be enveloped in that and and you know our union our time together our intimacy would just be so much more powerful because I had taken a step back activated that energy within you know and um and then the union can be so so epic so the reason that meditation helps with this is that when we focus our attention onto and into our physical body I love to focus it into my heart center what happens is wherever we put our energy whatever we put our attention to energy will flow in so if you're pointing your attention always outward on another person then you're actually energy is not coming to you it's going to them so you lose your energetic power to attract and magnetize when you focus your attention inward on your heart on your belly on your you know your desires and your dreams and the good feelings that you can generate then energy comes into you and you become more powerful in your magnetic ability your attractiveness so that's why I mean I use meditation it doesn't have to be just meditation but it's a very powerful tool to use every single day to just activate that feminine energy so powerful I love that I can't believe it's getting dark already you guys I'm in five o'clock here it's just it's just crazy but I'm so happy we could fit this in today everyone is resonating with this so much um about overthinking being up in your head having a hard time getting into your body I can personally relate to that as Anya knows I'm kind of like the classic person who who says that you don't meditate right you know that's a hard time really doing that so Anya's helped me tremendously with that over the past what would you say a couple months or something yeah Helena's a master now I'm trying I'm trying but yeah for those of you guys are saying oh my gosh I just did this today I went up in my head yeah we can all tend to do this it almost kind of like the more driven and ambitious and the smarter you are in other areas it can be so easy to get out of that place of you know thinking and analyzing and trying to make something happen and into the body like Anya said so beautifully something I've heard you talk about Anya is is how when you are thinking it's kind of like an electrical kind of magnetic or not magnetic electrical field when you are kind of like a penetrating like photons of energy or light moving outward leaning forward something I talk about a lot when you're in your body and in your heart that's a magnetic field that gets bigger and bigger the more you do this which really pulls the whole world towards you especially that man who's right in front of you if you're looking to bring him closer and I hope I said that right Anya did I do I have that correctly our mind is creating an electric field and our body and heart creates a magnetic field so the more again energy and attention you put like just literally by closing your eyes and taking a deep breath in just that alone will activate your magnetic field and it will get bigger so you can attract more into your life and you can play with this on a date where you just just practice you know like throw your energy throw your energy out like push your energy outward and focus and lean in and then pull your energy inward and lean back and you'll literally especially if you practice this it'll become like an extra skill set like an extra sense that you have to just start to feel energy and you can kind of feel when he's like leaning in and feeling it and when he's not and there's again no analysis no paralysis that needs to happen it's just like what feels good to you how much can you just stay calm and connected and centered in your body and receive the gift that he wants to provide and give you and the more that you can lean back and receive that the more he's going to fall in love with you I love that obviously is it so powerful everyone is this is resonating with everyone it sounds like we tend to give up a lot of things when we're in a relationship I gave up the gym absolutely Tiffany says I guess the question is where is your focus yeah very powerful question to ask yourself I talked so much about taking your focus off of a man and what he's thinking and where's this relationship going and putting that focus on yourself and this is one way to do it right focusing inward on your body sensations and your feelings very feminine energy practice right Sharon says when we focus too much attention outward we lose our magnets is a powerful statement yeah I totally agree we just talked on the phone she we had a little conversation I think that's Sharon yes yes amazing we love your comments you guys so so let us know your experiences with this Sherry asks going into our head I just did that today I had to apologize to him I feel so bad now for doing that should I give him space you know don't beat yourself up is the first thing I would say you know when we feel like we pushed a guy away or he's not coming as close as we want he's kind of staying at arm's length the first thing we all want to do is beat ourselves up blame ourselves go over and over what went wrong replaying the last conversation in our mind and that's all what keeping you up in your head right up in your masculine energy where a man actually cannot get close to you he can't connect with you and he can't fall in love when you're coming from that place but when you're in your body when you're focused on your heart through meditation or through some other practice that really gets you there he can he can connect with you and that's when he can really fall in love and want to come close on you do you agree absolutely and I think another key here is I love what you said about being kind to yourself like being gentle on yourself in the moments that you feel triggers come up where you've been studying with Helena and I or some other coaches and trainers out there and you know what the right thing in quotes is to do and yet you slide back into an old old pattern and habit and you're feeling yourself spiral into insecurity it's in those moments I always say in the moments of insecurity it's the moment we've been looking for it's the moment that we've been waiting for because it's only when we're so emotionally raw and vulnerable and exposed that we can gain our true power either back or just you know we can just heighten our power so when you feel like right now whoever said that last comment and you're like okay I did that today now I'm feeling like upset maybe a little bit or I'm wondering if he's gonna you know not be interested anymore any interested anymore what you can do is go to your room find a little spot light a candle close your eyes and just put one hand over your heart one hand over your belly and start to breathe calmly and see if you can generate the feeling of fear that's coming up in your body like go into the fear and the insecurity and everything that's arising for you as make it so intense like it's the biggest you're just engulfed with this discomfort and sit there for as long as you possibly can until that discomfort starts to dissipate and as that discomfort starts to dissipate you're actually literally pulling your power back from that person and the situation and then you can exit the meditation exit the practice and feel okay like whatever happens happens you're good you survived you survived the hardest emotions in that moment and it doesn't really matter what he does or what he doesn't do like you have been able to um generate love and acceptance in a moment that you felt insecure and upset yeah I I totally agree it's the running away from fear that can keep us stuck up in our heads and from you know getting to this place where we can really you know connect with a person right and um there's there's questions you know like should I always do this why do I do this should I do that and there's so many questions like that a lot of times when you can connect with your heart and your own feminine energy in this way your intuition kicks in right when you're up in your head thinking we're kind of which of course thinking is a great thing we don't want to say don't think right it's fantastic in um all different areas of your every area of your life thinking is is such an important thing being able to analyze and sort things out mentally is great uh but we can get so stuck in that place that we lose our attraction power we lose that feminine magnetism and so many of us can get stuck there that's where this can really help so um I just lost my train of thought for a second but yeah um Ania I would love to and I don't want to put you on the spot here but if you could maybe share like a quick breathing exercise of course we for those of you who don't know Ania and I created a program called the feminine empowerment system that takes you through um these different aspects to activate five core aspects of your feminine energy that is experiencing the present moment feeling and connecting with your emotions trusting allowing and receiving just right off the top of my head activating those through meditations and through some training videos you know so we have that available at a special presale price in the description it's not available anywhere else yet but if you want to if you want to check that out super inexpensive program we wanted to make it available to as many people as possible but for the purposes of everyone just watching right now do you have like a quick um exercise or or meditation or breathing thing that everyone could kind of do at a moment's notice I don't know if you have one prepared but if you did that would be amazing yeah absolutely what I wanted to add on to what you were saying with like it brings men in it brings people in it doesn't you don't have to be feeling good to bring somebody in you can be feeling upset and be open and vulnerable and real about it and invite somebody in you know you don't have to be perfect what's what creates intimacy and connection is raw vulnerable honesty and truth and so when you can walk around with that with resonating with that in your heart you know it's just heart feelings that will bring somebody close to you so don't shy away from your triggers let them become part of your beauty and the the package and the present that you bring to your relationships it's something so powerful that you have so one of the um and I'll just say a little bit about you know Helene and I created this because it in my work and what we've really started to do to do together going in and doing this inner deepening is critical and crucial like it just you can't activate your true power as a woman without going there because part of our power as women is our depth like literally our physical depth our emotional depth and the ability to bring somebody in intimately so for me personally it wasn't until I you know dove into so many of these practices that I started to step up and understand the value that I was burning so one of the deep practices that I'll share with you um is really simple and once I started to utilize this in my life I literally noticed myself become so much more magnetic and and it was the magnetism was coming from my confidence it's coming from my self security in in just me and I didn't care what was happening around me because I started to value myself at such a deep level so this meditation is the very first meditation I started to work with um and using the feminine activation the feminine empowerment system that Helene and I have to really support this as well is just to you can sit up like this every day or lie down on your back with your knees bent and put it's really important to have your hands over your heart at least one just to make contact with the center because when we physically touch our body that our attention is going there and so we bring more brain like mind body awareness and you can just think of something or someone that you love it could be a pet I often would think of my cat at home that I grew up with like Helene would probably think of Leo I might even think of Leo at this time in my life or um even my like juicy juice I had a pet dog um not a real dog like a stuffed animal dog named Juicy Juice and I was growing up and like that that love you that stuffed animal I would think of just hugging that animal so think about generate like loving someone or something put your hands over your heart and think about that generate the feeling of love and just then let love be coming up through your own body like you are the source of that feeling and when you generate love it fills in all of the gaps it fills in all of the holes all of the the brokenness that you may think you have been at points in your life fills in all of the wounds and you just get washed over with such a healing energy and then if you get good enough at this if you practice enough then you walk around generating love and people men for sure all people and men will you will feel yourself be such a gift in their in in in front of them like you become this walking talking gift of love and men love to be with women the masculine loves to be with the feminine because the feminine is so deeply connected to the source of love that we all come from and the heart the heart energy so it's the most powerful practice to do if you want to step into your true power and and feel that and feel that energy that is so beautiful it's obviously so much in line of some with some of the things I teach is a lot of times when we're like well how do I bring this guy closer how do I make him love me the way I love him what we're looking to him to like fill something up in us that really what our soul is seeking is that love from ourself just like Anya said when you can learn to do that you radiate it out and then you naturally attract it back towards you I mean think about it when are you the most magnetic and attractive when you are trying to get something from a man like I don't feel loved so I'm going to try and get it from this man if anyone's ever tried that you know it doesn't work right or when you're radiating love because this is who you are like you are the source of that for yourself then it's like you know everyone's going to feel drawn into you they're going to be completely mesmerized by you because like you're just attracting what you're radiating out right so that was so beautiful and some people were asking for a breathing exercise so that's fantastic Anya and we did want to keep this to 30 minutes if we can't know it's like already dark so is there any any last words of wisdom or tools or tips that you want to share when it comes when it comes you shifting into your feminine energy to bring that man closer I know I certainly have my own way of doing this that I can share but I'd love to hear from you Anya well get the feminine empowerment system if you're feeling stuck or lost or you really want to start this and you don't know how that'll help and just within the moment day to day remember your power is inside of you it is always within and in a moment of feeling anxious and you want to control external circumstances you know how it's all going to work out the most powerful thing you can do close your eyes and take a deep breath in literally it will change your life like remember put your hand over your heart and say to yourself my power as a woman lies within it's connected to my heart it is my energy it's in my higher connection to source or you know the universe whatever you like to say it's something that is so so deep and it comes from within me it's not on the outside and so if you just brainwash yourself with that like I've done and a lot it's it it will literally I mean I have such a deep level of self-security and I did not have that before and it's one of the things that I mean I don't know I couldn't have survived the level of insecurity that I had before you know so that's why we created this or that's why I care so much and I'm here with Ana Helena and I are here together because it's like I mean I personally know how it feels to not feel good about myself and to have such deep insecurities and doubt you know will I ever have that love in my life and outside doing this work it doesn't just bring the love in it brings it in at ways that you know even beyond our wildest dreams like it's true powerful divine union soulmate if you believe in that it's just deep it's just very deep because yeah you become deep and that's the that's the thing it's so true it's so so true yeah so this was amazing it sounds so simple but just the tiniest shift into your body and connecting with your heart will make such a huge shift in your love life I always say the way to connect to a man's heart is always through your own heart first right if you're up in your head trying to stir something into creation and make some connection happen you again if you've ever tried that you know it doesn't work the only way is to connect with yourself and your own feelings another thing I always say is a man can't love and accept you anymore than you love and accept all the parts of yourself even the parts that don't feel so good sometimes like fear or shame or doubt so this is beautiful Anya thank you so much for sharing that and we hope everyone has a good evening and check out the feminine empowerment system if you're looking for
