Eclipse season is upon us, and with it comes a powerful energetic shift that can bring deep transformation, revelations, and karmic realignment. In many ancient traditions, eclipses are considered portals for spiritual growth, inner reflection, and clearing past karmas.
From a yogic perspective, eclipses are not times of fear but of heightened spiritual opportunity. The cosmic energies during these periods amplify our inner work, making it the perfect time to engage in yogic practices, mantra chanting, meditation, and fasting to harness the energy rather than be overwhelmed by it.
Understanding Eclipse Energy in Yogic Tradition
In Vedic astrology, solar eclipses (Surya Grahan) represent shifts in external realities—our careers, relationships, and worldly pursuits—while lunar eclipses (Chandra Grahan) affect our internal landscapes—our emotions, subconscious patterns, and karmic imprints.
Eclipses are often linked to Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets in Vedic astrology, which signify illusion, transformation, and karmic cycles. The energy of these celestial events can feel intense and destabilizing, making it crucial to engage in practices that ground, protect, and uplift our consciousness.
How to Make the Best Use of Eclipse Season with Yogic Technology
🌑 1. Meditation & Mantra: Attuning to Higher Frequencies
Eclipses create an energetic vacuum where old patterns dissolve, allowing higher consciousness to take root. This makes meditation and mantra chanting especially potent during this time.
🔹 Mantras to Chant During an Eclipse:
- Om Namah Shivaya – For purification and dissolving ego-based illusions
- Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra – For healing and protection
- Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung – For deep rejuvenation and harmony
During the peak of the eclipse, meditating with these mantras allows you to transmute lower vibrations into spiritual insight.
🔥 2. Pranayama: Clearing Stagnant Energy
Since eclipses impact the pranic body, breathwork is one of the best tools to regulate emotions and clear energetic blockages.
Try Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to balance the Ida (moon) and Pingala (sun) nadis, bringing clarity and stability. Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath) can also be practiced post-eclipse to clear heavy energy and enhance mental clarity.
🛑 3. Fasting & Detox: Resetting Your System
Many yogic traditions recommend fasting during an eclipse since the body’s metabolic processes are influenced by planetary movements. Avoiding food allows the body to direct energy toward spiritual evolution rather than digestion.
What to do:
✅ Fast on water, herbal teas, or light sattvic foods before and during the eclipse
✅ Avoid heavy, tamasic foods (meat, processed foods, alcohol)
✅ Post-eclipse, consume cleansing foods like coconut water, fresh fruits, and kitchari
This supports cellular renewal, heightened intuition, and mental clarity.
🕉 4. Avoid External Stimuli & Go Inward
Eclipses are not ideal for starting new projects, making major decisions, or engaging in excessive worldly distractions. The veils between dimensions are thin, making it a sacred time to turn inward for wisdom and guidance.
What to avoid during an eclipse:
🚫 Watching too much news, social media, or engaging in excessive technology
🚫 Sleeping during the peak of the eclipse (this can intensify lethargy)
🚫 Making impulsive decisions or reacting emotionally to situations
Instead, focus on introspection, journaling, chanting, and self-care rituals.
🌟 5. Kriyas for Eclipse Transformation
Kundalini Yoga kriyas can be used during the eclipse window to release karmic blocks and elevate consciousness.
🔹 Recommended Kriyas:
🌀 Kirtan Kriya – For cleansing subconscious patterns
🔥 Ego Eradicator (Breath of Fire + Mudra) – To burn through illusions and reset energy
💫 Sat Kriya – For awakening kundalini and balancing prana
Performing these kriyas during the eclipse window can accelerate spiritual progress and help break free from limiting cycles.
Embracing the Gift of the Eclipse Season
Rather than fearing eclipses, use them as portals for transformation. This is a time to:
✔️ Release old patterns that no longer serve you
✔️ Align with your highest self through spiritual practice
✔️ Activate new levels of awareness, clarity, and soul purpose
Every eclipse is a cosmic reset, a chance to shed the past and step into a more aligned version of yourself. By applying yogic wisdom, you can move through this season with grace, strength, and deep inner transformation.
