When an eclipse happens, something shifts. The light changes. The atmosphere feels different. Traditionally, these moments were never treated as ordinary.In this V i t a l V e d a | Sole & Dylan podcast episode, Dylan Smith is joined by Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura Plumb, Vaidya Dr Krishna Raju, Vaidya and medical astrologer Dr Harsha Raju, and mantra teacher Purnesh. Together they explore eclipses through the lenses of Ayurveda, Jyotish and mantra śāstra.We spoke about Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes “causing” eclipses, as well as the difference between solar and lunar eclipses, why digestion and prāṇa are considered more sensitive during these periods, and why eclipses have long been used as powerful windows for sacred practices and inner growth. Specific mantras and simple ritual guidelines are shared, along with practical recommendations around food, rest, meditation and how to orient the mind during these heightened times. The conversation moves between astronomy, subtle physiology and lived experience, offering a steady and grounded way to approach eclipse events.Rather than sensationalising eclipses, this episode invites a composed perspective. A reminder that moments of shadow can also be moments of alignment. 🌙 The effects of eclipses can begin a week or more prior, and can occur up to three months after. It may not all happen on August 12th. But this eclipse is joined by Mercury and Jupiter, and is in Gandanta, so it’s pretty stressed. You can listen here, www.vitalveda.com.au/podcast/eclipses-explained-ayurveda-jyotish-mantra/ This link is also in Stories. Or go to episode 152 via V i t a l V e d a | Sole & Dylan 🙏🏽 ...

Happy Monday! The weather is hot, the current affairs are hot, the sky is hot with this month’s eclipses. Let’s remember ice cream and all life’s sweetness are not just for Sundaes. They can be savoured on Mondays too, and all through the week. You staying cool, helps all stay cool. 🍃Ayurveda tips for keeping cool when it is hot, hot, hot outside 🍑Sweet is one of the coolest of the Six Tastes (Shad Radas): Fruit, root vegetables, grains, and juicy vegetables like cucumbers, squash. 🍃Mint is the most cooling herb. Cilantro, fennel, rose, hibiscus are also cooling. Infuse in your water, and sip at room temperature. 💧Add a small pinch of pink salt, and/or a drop of maple syrup to your water to boost hydration. Sip throughout the day to stay evenly hydrated. Room temperature encourages absorption, and supports digestion which can get stressed by high heat. 🌺 Support digestion with a rose lassi, recipe on my blog Laura Plumb or food-alovestory.com🧘‍♂️Lie down legs up, to encourage flow back to the core. Hear expands and moves energy to the periphery. Resting on your back, deep full breaths with legs elevated is soothing and restorative.🦋 Linar breathing long and slow is cooling, though subtle. While lying on your back, or sitting comfortably, tuck your index and middle finger into the thumb pad of your right hand. With your thumb, gently close the right nostril and inhale through the left nostril. Exhale left, and repeat. Continue breathing through the left nostril only until you feel calm, cool and collected. Remember you are cool - it’s who you are, every day of the week! 💛__#ayurvedaforhotdays #ayurvedaeveryday #dogdays #hothothot #chillin ... See MoreSee Less

The big news for this month is the two final eclipses of this nodal transit.August 12th we have a solar eclipse with Sun and Moon in Cancer, with Jupiter and Mercury joining. Ketu, the South lunar node is close by, but in Leo, Magha Nakshatra. Please look to see which house these signs occupy in your chart to understand what they want you to understand, and how to deepen into your true light. The lunar eclpse will be August 27th, with the full moon and Rahu, the north lunar node, in Aquarius, exact 21:18 PST. The moon will be in Shatabishak Nakshtra, the star of a thousand healers. It is ruled by Rahu, and its symbol is a circle, most often depicted as a snake with its mouth to its tail, enclosing itself, in a sort of infinite loop.It’s a neat rise from the solar eclipse in Ashlesha, the star of the Nag, or serpents, with its poison now meeting the medicine of the Nag, resolving back into itself. Obviously, this is a time for deep reflection. ✨ What are poisons of your life? The shadows, hurts, resentments, that poison your mood and maybe even your health? ✨ How might you turn that into growth, wisdom, compassion?✨ What needs to be forgiven? What needs to be addressed? What needs to be left alone? ✨ Are you ready for that? Are you willing to meet the medicine? Or release the poison? ✨ Who, or what, needs to go in order for you to rise your your stardom? This month may see more turbulence in the Middle East and US leadership. You have the tools - breath, journaling, meditation, supportive friendship and nature always helps. We have eclipses every six months. There is no need, as the French so fabulously say, “faire toute une salade.” Let’s not make a whole salad about it. Let’s stick to grounding foods and soothing practices ;) __#jyotish #vedicastrology #sidereal #eclipses #magha ... See MoreSee Less
