Eclipses

Lunar eclipse is an interesting natural phenomenon. It occurs when the shadow of the earth is falling above the moon. The moon basically radiates light, just getting from the Sun, and this light is affected when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. How does this affect us?

Well, in the energy field the moon is representing our mind, which is generated from the false ego, understanding of who we are and when there is no radiation coming from the moon, particularly on eclipses or during the Amavasya which is the new moon night, the mind is very disturbed because, it is losing its support from the natural environment and it is in fear for its own existence actually. When we observe a lunar eclipse or expose ourselves to the radiation of the lunar eclipse, this fear increases and tends to allow more of our negative karma come up to the surface. It also affects our thinking and decision-making capacity. So it’s not a good idea to expose oneself to the radiation of the eclipse because it tends to blight the positive karma that is available in our energy field.

In case of the lunar eclipse, it is visible when it is dark, so we do not get too many environmental signs but in the solar eclipse one can very easily find environmental signs. You can see, for example, the birds, just before a solar eclipse, the birds will become very silent. They will nest in the trees, they may talk a lot and suddenly become silent. And when the eclipse is about to be over or it has passed its maximum negative energy phase, the birds will start speaking and chirping and talking. This is a very good indicator that it is some natural intelligence which all the creatures have. Unfortunately, the human being doesn’t seem to have much of it. The birds are little better in that sense because they know when to stay away from the radiation. We can learn from them as well.

As healers, we can use the time of the lunar eclipse to progress ourselves further. We can do this by increasing our healing methodologies, and if someone doesn’t have, they can use chanting procedure. They can chant Om and that is a very mellow sound that would align the energy as well as thinking process to a positive side
