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

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

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

thing. And the moment

your stomach is empty,
your ability to be conscious becomes so much better.
Y our body becomes more transparent and you are
able to notice what is happening with your system
much better.

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 the
Moon phases. Thus my two questions. Does the food become 'poisonous'
because of its water content? What about drinking pure water during the
moon eclipse?
