Why Eating Food during Eclipse is Harmful Eclipses can have a powerful effect on the human body. In this article, Sadhguru explains why eating food before and during a lunar or solar eclipse can have a harmful effect on the human body. Sadhguru: During lunar eclipses, what would happen in 28 days over a full lunar cycle is happening in a subtle way over the course of two to three hours of the eclipse. In terms of energy, the earth’s energy is mistaking this eclipse as a full cycle of the moon. Certain things happen in the planet where anything that has moved away from its natural condition will deteriorate very fast. This is why while there is no change in raw fruits and vegetables, there is a distinct change in the way cooked food is before and after the eclipse. What was nourishing food turns into poison. Eclipse Effect: Food Once Eaten, Turns To Poison! Poison is something that takes away your awareness. If it takes away to a certain minor level, that means you are dull. If it takes away your awareness to a certain depth, that means you are asleep. If something takes away your awareness completely, that means you are dead. Dullness, sleep, death – this is just a progression. So, cooked food will go through the phases of its deterioration much more rapidly in a subtle way than it does on a normal day. Eclipse Effect: Can We Eat Raw Food? There is a distinct change in the way cooked food is before and after the eclipse. What was nourishing food turns into poison. If there is food in your body, in two hours’ time your energies will age by approximately twenty-eight days. Does that mean you can eat a raw food diet on such a day? No, because the moment food goes into your body, the juices in your stomach attack and kill it. It becomes like semi-cooked food and will still have the same impact. This is not just about food. This is about the way you are itself. If you have moved away from the natural dimension of who you are in anyway, you become more susceptible to these forces. If you are in your natural state, you are least available to these forces. Eclipse Effect: The Moon & The Human Body The cycles of the moon have an impact upon the human system, physically, psychologically and energy-wise. This is evident in the way our mothers went through their cycles. I am talking about our mothers because we are here only because our mothers were in tune with the moon. If our mothers’ bodies were not in tune with the moon we wouldn’t be here today. When the moon is going through a whole cycle in two to three hours’ time, there is a little bit of confusion in all our mothers’ bodies. This is also happening in a man’s body, because your mothers are present in a certain way – not physiologically but in other ways. Eclipse Effect: When The Body is Confused… When the body is in a confused state, the best thing is to keep it as empty as possible, and as conscious as possible. One of the simplest ways to be conscious is to not eat. Then you will constantly be conscious of at least one thing. And the moment your stomach is empty, your ability to be conscious becomes so much better. Your body becomes more transparent and you are able to notice what is happening with your system much better. Mystic Moon Why is it that the mystical and the moon have always been intimately connected? Sadhguru explains the significance and the role that the moon plays in our lives. Sadhguru: We have come to modern times where day or night, light is glaring in our eyes. Even if there is a full moon, I think most people who live in urban areas today don’t even notice it. How can you miss a full moon? Isn’t it big enough and bright enough? To do anything with yourself, it would be useful to be aware of where the moon is because it creates different types of qualities and energies in the system. Different positions of the moon have different kinds of impacts on human physiology and mental make-up. In India, every day is counted, and how the different positions of the moon can be made use of for human wellbeing is a very established part of the culture. The different positions are used for different purposes. A whole lot of things happen between the full moon to the new moon and back again to the full moon. To do anything with yourself, it would be useful to be aware of where the moon is because it creates different types of qualities and energies in the system. If one is aware, one could make use of it. Every phase of the moon, you can either look up in the sky and notice it, or if you bring a certain level of awareness and perception to your system, you will see the body behaves slightly differently for every phase. It is very much there both in the male and the female body, but it is more manifest in the female body. The timing with which the moon goes around the planet and the cycles that human beings themselves go through within themselves, and the very process of human birth – the process of creating this body – are very deeply connected. From Logic to Magic Because the moon has a large influence on our daily life, in the eastern cultures – particularly in India – we drew two kinds of calendars. For mundane affairs, we have a solar calendar. For all the other subjective aspects of our life – which is not information or a technique, but a live thing – we have a lunar calendar. Generally, the influence of the moon is considered illogical. In the West, anything illogical got labeled as madness or insanity. In the English language, the moon is referred to as “lunar.†If you take a step further, you come to lunatic. But in Indian culture, we always saw the limitations of logic. Logic is very useful to conduct the material aspect of your life. If you want to do business or build a house, you have to be logical. But there is a dimension beyond logic, without which the subjective dimensions can never be accessed. As one shifts from the calculations of the logical mind to intuitive ways of looking at life, the moon becomes more important. The word “luna†essentially means “moonâ€, but it also means that you have moved away from logic. If you have moved away from logic, if your system is not well established, you will move towards insanity. But if you are well established, you will move into intuitive perception. The moon is a reflection. You can see the moon because it reflects the sun’s light. A human being or human perception is also reflection. If you see anything other than the reflection, that means you are not seeing the truth. Any perception is actually a reflection. And as reflection is the nature of the moon, the deeper perceptions of life have always been symbolized with the moon. So moonlight and mysticism have been very heavily connected everywhere in the world. To symbolize this connection, Shiva, the Adiyogi wore a piece of the moon on his head as his ornament. The Way Creation Is The yogic sciences and yogic path were also structured like this. The initial few steps are 100% logical. The lower rungs of yoga are very logical and sun oriented. There is no room for anything else. But as you climb higher, it moves away from logic and goes into areas which are totally illogical. Logic has to be thrown away because that is the way life and creation is structured. So the moon becomes very important. When we start we are on the sun. When the sun is on, everything is distinct and clear cut. When the moon is on, everything gets mixed up. You do not know what is what. This is the only way any science can happen. If you look at modern science which is still in its infancy actually, the same thing is happening. They were 100% logical to start with. After they took a few steps, now they are slowly becoming illogical. The physicists are almost talking like mystics. They are beginning to talk the same language because this is the only way it can go, because that is the way creation is. If you explore the creation, that is how it will be.
