"In the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, it is pointed out that eclipses
are very potent times. Of course, the full and new moons have
always been considered important, and the eclipses are said to be
even more so. In the Kalachakra (wheel of time) teachings,
everything that takes place externally in our life happens because
of subtle changes deep within us. In this tradition the eclipse is the
paradigm of this essential change. It is written that during an
eclipse, the two channels (left and right side of the central spinal
channel) come into contact or merge with the central channel, this
produces a greatly increased vision or experience, a vision
available to those who can manage to be aware of it."
