Fact
While it is a good habit to meditate daily, especially in the morning, it is specifically advisable to meditate during a solar eclipse. This is because of the connection that the mind has with the moon and the body has with the earth. As the sun is connected to both the mind and body, when all three celestial bodies are aligned, so is the body with the mind, making it a perfect time to meditate. Also, as eating is not advised during a solar eclipse, an empty stomach is conducive to meditation. Meditation also increases your energy levels, which is vital at this time when your energy level is naturally low because of the eclipse of the sun, the main source of power and energy.
