Lunar Eclipse of March 13-14, 2025: A Cosmic Invitation to Surrender and Illuminate

Lunar Eclipse of March 13-14, 2025: A Cosmic Invitation to Surrender and Illuminate

My loves,

We stand at the threshold of a powerful celestial event—the lunar eclipse of March 13-14, 2025. A lunar eclipse is a time of deep revelation, a moment when the Earth casts its shadow upon the Moon, temporarily veiling her luminous face. Eclipses are not times for manifestation but for release, integration, and soul surrender. They illuminate what has been hidden, stirring emotions that have long been buried and calling us to see with clarity, even when the truth feels raw.

This is a sacred portal—a time to pause, reflect, and allow the Universe to realign us with our highest path. The energy can feel intense, but trust that it is serving your growth. Lunar eclipses often bring endings, closures, and culminations, but these are not losses; they are sacred completions, paving the way for something greater.

Astrology, like the moon herself, has many faces. In Western (Tropical) astrology, this eclipse falls in Virgo, the sign of discernment, sacred service, and refinement. Meanwhile, in the Eastern (Vedic) system, the Moon is in Leo, the sign of sovereignty, creative power, and divine radiance.

Both perspectives offer wisdom—one is not more “correct” than the other. They are simply two ways of interpreting the sky’s messages, and I invite you to listen to both, feeling into what resonates with your own journey.

Tropical Astrology: Virgo Lunar Eclipse

Under the tropical system, this eclipse illuminates Virgo’s themes—purification, healing, and the integration of body, mind, and spirit. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is the sacred alchemist, the priestess tending the temple of life. This eclipse may reveal where we need to refine our habits, clear mental clutter, or release the need for perfection.

This is a time to evaluate:
• Where are you overextending yourself in service to others while neglecting your own well-being?
• How can you create a more sustainable rhythm in your daily life?
• What outdated routines, thought patterns, or self-criticisms need to be let go?

This Virgo eclipse is an invitation to cleanse—not just externally, but internally. Let go of guilt, of the belief that you must do more to be worthy. Trust that your presence is enough.

Vedic Astrology: Leo Lunar Eclipse

From the Vedic perspective, this eclipse unfolds in the bold and regal sign of Leo. Leo is ruled by the Sun, and here, the lunar eclipse challenges us to reclaim our inner radiance. This is a call to step into our power—not from a place of ego, but from a place of divine alignment.

Leo reminds us:
• Where have you dimmed your light for fear of being too much?
• Are you living in full authenticity, or are you conforming to please others?
• What creative expression is longing to be freed from within you?

In Vedic wisdom, eclipses are times to go inward, not outward. This is a potent time for meditation, mantra, and spiritual recalibration. Instead of seeking validation from the world, turn your gaze inward and remember that your light comes from Source, not external recognition.

Intentions for this Lunar Eclipse
• I release perfectionism and embrace the beauty of my unfolding journey.
• I honor my sacred service while setting healthy boundaries.
• I reclaim my inner radiance and share my gifts unapologetically.
• I surrender control and trust the divine flow of life.

Journal Prompts for Eclipse Reflection
1. What old patterns or beliefs are ready to be released?
2. How can I create more balance between service to others and care for myself?
3. In what ways have I been dimming my light? How can I reclaim my power?
4. What is one habit, thought, or attachment I am ready to let go of?

Rituals for the Eclipse Portal

1. Candle Release Ceremony
Write down something you are releasing—an outdated belief, a toxic habit, or a past wound. Light a candle, read your words aloud, and burn the paper in a fireproof dish. As the ashes rise, visualize yourself freed from this weight.

2. Moonlit Water Purification
Fill a bowl with water and place it under the moon (even if it’s eclipsed, the energy is still present). Whisper your intentions of release into the water, then use it to cleanse your hands, feet, or heart center. Let the water carry away what no longer serves you.

3. Mantra Meditation
Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya (I bow to the divine within) or So Hum (I am that) to realign with your soul’s truth. Sit in meditation and allow the vibrations to clear stagnant energy.

4. Digital Detox & Silence
Eclipses are best spent in stillness, away from distractions. Consider fasting from social media, unnecessary conversations, or external noise. Let yourself be in communion with the cosmos.

5.Antar Naad Meditation
Practice the Antar Naad Meditation in honor of the Full Moon for 11 minutes. This practice opens up the flow of kundalini energy while it brings you security, peace and wisdom.

The Four Pillars of Ayurveda: A Path to Wholeness

The Four Pillars of Ayurveda: A Path to Wholeness

Beloved one,

Ayurveda is not simply a system of healing—it is a way of life, a remembering of our deep connection to nature, to the rhythms of the cosmos, and to the sacred wisdom within. When we live in harmony with these rhythms, we experience true health—not just the absence of disease, but a radiant state of vitality, peace, and purpose.

At the heart of Ayurveda lie four sacred pillars that uphold our well-being: Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle and behavior), Achara (mental and emotional well-being), and Chikitsa (therapeutic treatments). These pillars offer us a roadmap to balance and wholeness, guiding us back to our innate wisdom.

Let us walk together through these four gateways of healing, with tenderness and reverence for this temple that is your body, your mind, and your soul.

Ahara: Nourishment as Medicine

Ahara is more than the food on our plate—it is the essence that becomes our body, our thoughts, and our emotions. The ancient texts remind us that food, when chosen with care and eaten with gratitude, is our first and most profound medicine.

To nourish ourselves deeply, we must listen to our bodies, attuning to the whispers of our doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the seasons of the earth. Warm, grounding meals in winter. Cooling, hydrating foods in summer. Fresh, light nourishment in spring. Each bite we take should honor not only our digestion but also the sacred cycle of life.

Ask yourself: Is my food full of prana (life force)? Am I eating with presence? Does my meal bring harmony to my body and spirit?

Vihara: Living in Alignment with Nature

Vihara is the rhythm of our daily life—the way we rise, move, rest, and engage with the world. In Ayurveda, this rhythm is called Dinacharya, our daily routine, and it is one of the most potent ways to cultivate longevity and joy.

Imagine waking with the sun, gently cleansing your senses, moving your body with devotion, and stepping into the day with clarity. In the evening, surrendering to rest, allowing yourself to be cradled by the moon’s embrace.

When we align our days with the natural flow of energy, our nervous system softens, our digestion strengthens, and our minds find peace.

Ask yourself: Am I moving in harmony with nature? Do I offer my body the rest and care it needs?

Achara: The Mind, Heart, and Soul

Ah, dear one—this pillar is where true healing begins. Achara speaks to the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being. Ayurveda teaches that every thought, every emotion, every belief we hold ripples through our body like a stone dropped into a sacred pool.

To nurture this pillar, we must become gentle guardians of our inner world. Mindfulness, self-inquiry, and spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, and mantra bring clarity to the heart and steadiness to the mind. It is here that we unravel the old wounds, the inherited patterns, the stories that no longer serve us—and in doing so, we make space for our true self to shine.

Ask yourself: What thoughts do I feed my soul? How do I tend to my emotional well-being? What practices bring me closer to my truth?

Chikitsa: Healing as an Act of Devotion

Chikitsa is the wisdom of healing—through herbs, bodywork, detoxification, and sacred touch. It is an act of devotion to care for the body as a holy vessel, supporting its ability to cleanse, restore, and rejuvenate.

Ayurveda offers an abundance of therapeutic treatments—Abhyanga (oil massage), Panchakarma (deep detoxification), herbal medicine, breathwork, sound healing, and more. These practices remind us that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about returning to the natural state of wholeness that has always been within us.

Ask yourself: What healing rituals does my body crave? Am I allowing myself to receive the care I deserve?

When we honor these four pillars, we step into a life of grace, vitality, and purpose. We eat in a way that nourishes, we move in a way that restores, we think in a way that uplifts, and we heal in a way that honors our sacred nature.

This path is not about perfection—it is about awareness. It is about listening, adjusting, and remembering that you are a reflection of the earth, the stars, and the great mystery itself.

May you walk this journey with gentleness. May you nourish yourself with love. And may you always remember: healing is not a destination—it is a way of being.

What Does It Mean to Live Holistically? A Path to Wholeness

What Does It Mean to Live Holistically? A Path to Wholeness

Beloved one,

In a world that often pulls us in many directions, where we are asked to compartmentalize our lives—work in one box, health in another, emotions tucked away somewhere else—the call to live holistically is a call to return to wholeness.

To be holistic is to recognize that everything is connected—our bodies, minds, emotions, relationships, food, the earth, the cosmos. There is no separation, only an intricate web of energy, each part influencing the whole. When we honor this interconnectedness, we find deeper healing, alignment, and a sense of coming home to ourselves.

Let us explore together what it means to live holistically and how we can weave this wisdom into every aspect of our lives.

Holistic Living: A Life in Harmony

To live holistically means to live in harmony with yourself, others, and the world around you. It means seeing your body not as a collection of separate parts, but as a beautifully interwoven system where physical health, mental well-being, emotional balance, and spiritual depth all dance together.

It is waking up and asking:
How do I nourish my body today?
How do I care for my emotions with love and gentleness?
How do I move my body in a way that honors its rhythm?
How do I deepen my connection to the earth, to the people in my life, to the divine?

Holistic living is about choosing wholeness in every small moment—in the food we eat, the way we breathe, the thoughts we think, the way we love.

Holistic Eating: Nourishing the Body & Soul

Food is not just fuel. It is energy, it is medicine, it is sacred. Every bite we take carries a vibration—it can heal, energize, and balance us, or it can deplete, inflame, and disconnect us.

To eat holistically is to:
Choose whole, unprocessed foods as often as possible—fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and herbs in their most natural forms.
Eat seasonally and locally, aligning with nature’s rhythm.
Bless your food and eat with presence, knowing that food is more than nutrients—it is life force.
Use herbs and spices as medicine, from ginger for digestion to turmeric for inflammation.

When we respect food as sacred, we are not just nourishing the body—we are nurturing the soul.

Holistic medicine does not ask, “What symptom do we need to suppress?” but rather, “What is the root cause of this imbalance?”

It understands that physical symptoms are often messages from deeper layers of our being. A headache may be more than just a headache—it could be stress, dehydration, poor digestion, or even emotional energy trapped in the body.

Holistic medicine includes:
Ayurveda – Balancing the body through diet, herbs, and daily routines that align with your unique constitution.
Traditional Chinese Medicine – Using acupuncture, herbs, and Qi energy flow to restore harmony.
Breathwork & Meditation – Tapping into the body’s innate ability to heal through the breath.
Energy Healing – Reiki, sound healing, and chakra balancing to realign our energetic field.

True healing happens when we look at the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and address the deeper layers of imbalance.

To be holistic is not just about what we eat or how we heal—it is a way of moving through life with presence, love, and connection.

Here are ways to cultivate wholeness in your daily life:

Breathe with awareness – Every inhale is a gift. Breathe slowly, deeply, consciously. Let it anchor you to the present.

Honor your emotions – Feel them fully. Emotions are energy; when we acknowledge them, they move through us instead of becoming stuck.

Move with intention – Whether it’s yoga, walking, or dance, move in a way that brings joy and flow to your body.

Connect with nature – Put your feet on the earth, watch the sunrise, swim in the ocean. Nature recalibrates us back to our truest selves.

Nurture relationships that nourish you – Surround yourself with people who uplift, honor, and support your journey.

Live in rhythm with nature – Wake with the sun, rest when your body asks, honor the cycles of the moon, the seasons, and your own inner tides.

Trust your intuition – The body, the heart, the soul—they always know. Listen.

When we approach life this way, we become a living prayer, a walking meditation, a vessel of love and balance.

Holistic living is not about perfection—it is about connection. It is about choosing, in every moment, to honor your body, your soul, and the sacred web of life that holds us all.

You are not separate from nature.
You are not separate from the universe.
You are not separate from love.

You are the universe in motion. You are the breath of the divine. You are whole.

Come home to yourself, beloved one.
In each choice, in each breath, in each moment—choose wholeness.

The Rise of Ayurveda in Charleston

Beloved One,

My name is Mystic and today, I am going to de-mystify the buzzword that we’ve all been hearing around Charleston over the last year. As an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coach and aspiring Ayurvedic Practitioner, I couldn’t be more excited to see the genuine curiosity our community has been raising around this ancient science. In a bustling world filled with endless to-do lists and constant stimulation, finding balance and inner harmony can often feel like an elusive dream. Yet, nestled within the ancient traditions of India lies a timeless wisdom that offers a pathway to holistic health and well-being—Ayurveda. Translated as the “science of life”; Ayurveda is more than just a system of medicine; it is a profound philosophy that teaches us to live in harmony with ourselves and the natural world around us. We can imagine Ayurveda as a blue print or personalized roadmap to our own unique health and happiness. Unlike modern medicine’s one-size-fits-all approach, Ayurveda recognizes that each individual is born with a specific balance of energies, known as doshas, which govern our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual characteristics. These doshas are known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Vata embodies the qualities of movement and change. It is associated with the elements air and ether. governs functions like circulation, breathing, and creativity. When in balance, Vata individuals are lively, imaginative, and adaptable. However, excess Vata can lead to anxiety, dryness, and restlessness.

Pitta represents the elements of fire and water, governing digestion, metabolism, and intellect. Pitta types tend to be driven, focused, and passionate. When balanced, they exhibit strong digestion and a sharp intellect, but imbalanced Pitta may manifest as irritability, inflammation, or digestive issues.

Kapha embodies stability and structure, governed by earth and water elements. Kaphaindividuals are typically calm, nurturing, and grounded. They have strong immunity and endurance when in balance but can experience sluggishness, weight gain, or attachment when Kapha is excessive.

Now while this may be familiar to some of you who have done their research, I would like to explain the importance of understanding the difference between your Prakruti and your Vikruti. It’s natural to think you understand your dosha after taking your first “dosha quiz” once first diving into the fundamentals of Ayurveda, however I see too often people take the quiz and think that the results are what they are instead of realizing that this is the dosha presenting itself as what needs balance. While our Prakruti is the doshic combination that we are born with, our Vikruti is the dosha or doshas that need to be regulated. Only when we know our Prakruti can we truly balance out our Vikruti because we want to restore our own unique balance instead of simply trying to balance the doshas a whole. When we understand this, we must next understand the “Law of Attraction”. The Law of Attraction states that “like attracts like”, thus in order to restore balance we must invite or use the opposite qualities, diet, exercise, lifestyle, etc to pacify our Vikruti.

Incorporating Ayurvedic principles into your daily life doesn't have to be daunting. Simple practices like eating mindfully, staying hydrated and establishing a regular sleep schedule can profoundly impact your well-being. Ayurveda encourages us to listen to our bodies, cultivate self-awareness, and make conscious choices that promote harmony on all levels—physical, mental, and spiritual. As you embark on your journey with Ayurveda, remember that it is not just a set of rules but a philosophy of living in tune with your true nature. By honoring your unique constitution, embracing seasonal changes, and understanding the interplay between Prakriti and Vikruti, you empower yourself to live a life of balance, vitality, and profound well-being. Let Ayurveda be your guide to discovering the timeless wisdom that resides within you and the natural world.
