Theres a lunar eclipse coming up on

April 4 [pdf], which will be partial over

most of Asia and the Americas. In this

article, Sadhguru explains why

consuming food during a lunar eclipse can have a

negative impact on the system.

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 earths 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

There is adistinct

change inthe way

cooked foodis before and

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.

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.

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 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.

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 wouldnt 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 mans body, because your mothers are

present in a certain way not physiologically but in

other ways.

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

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.

phases of the moon with Ishas Lunar Calendar.

Thank you very much, Sadhguru, for sharing this knowledge! My intuitive understanding says to me that this phenomena has to do with water and water energies and the changes it experiences under the influence of theMoon phases. Thus my two questions. Does the food become 'poisonous' because of its water content? What about drinking pure water during the moon eclipse?
