Take care of your pineal gland by doing this

Since ancient times,yogis have always given

much importance to the space between these

two eyebrows. This is the space,where some

of the yogis believe,that our soul resides,and

this Pineal Gland is a pea sized organ which

is situated between 2 hemispheres of our brain,this

spot is also referred to as one of the chakras

that is also called as Ajnachakra,which is

represented by two petals and these 2 petals

automatically symbolizes the 2 hemispheres

of our brain.This is a source of the mystical

dimension of our life.There are many mystical

sides of this gland and that’s why it becomes

very interesting to know about this.Do you

know,that apart from our eye cells,even pineal

gland cells are light sensitive,hence it is

known to regulate our biological clock,since

it can sense light and darkness and at night

when you close your eyes,everything is dark

and in that state,pineal gland relases melatonin,that

is a hormone and this hormone regulates our

biological clock.So it works in many mysterious

ways and holds may mysteries too .Sage Vyas

says that there is an invisible hole in this

region,which is luminous,spreads light and

it spreads coronal light,by focusing on this

light,he says he can see beings between earth

and the higher spaces,so it is believed that

this gland connects the person to the higher

world,even Maharshi Patanjali in the 3rd chapter

of Yog Sutra,sutra#32 says,murdhajyotishi

siddhadarshanam,that is while focusing on

this coronal light,you have a vision of siddhas,hence

some practioners of yoga says,that while meditating

over here at this region they can see bright

light and they just enjoy being in that state,so

pineal gland for sure is no ordinary organ,it

has a greater role to play in our metaphysical

and spiritual dimension,meditation can activate

this organ to its full potential.Here are

some techniques which you can do to make your

pineal gland reach to its full potential and

to give you the benefits.

1 ) Keeping Awareness on your forehead – our

body works like this,wherever you attention

goes,that part starts functioning better,so

bring your awareness to your forehead region,there

are other simple simple activities we do naturally

in our lives that awareness goes there,ladies

put this over here,men put tika over there,awareness

remain there as this part becomes little tight,all

the sadhus also put good amount of Chandan

in this space so that that part is very different

then all the other parts ,so these are the

simple simple ways in which people develop

awareness of that place,but yoga talks about

a very simple technique which you should practice

,sit in a meditative pose,close your eyes

and now with closed eyes , roll your eyes

towards this place,stay in that position,internally

you are looking at this place,in the beginning

people may feel a little headache,but by practice

you will not feel that,you will feel very

comfortable,rolling your eyes at this place,stay

in this position for sometime and that would

be very good.

2 ) Light Management – In nature,as the

sun sets ,the bright light goes away and things

get darker and that’s the time pineal gland

would slowly start becoming active,but now

what do we do?The moment sun sets,our lights

are much much more brighter and we remain

in that bright light for long time,rather

at night we are more active,actually nature

helps us,days meant for work,night is meant

for rest,but we don’t follow this natural

path and we create problems to see that our

bodies don’t function well.Now what do we

do?the moment sun sets,we have our own lights

and the room becomes absolutely bright,our

life becomes more bright,we start using mobile,television

and that blue light of mobile keeps us still

more bright and active,so what you should

do?see to it that you sleep a little early,that

you dim your lights atleast 1 hour before

you go to bed and that would help you to give

you a good sleep,this pineal gland would help

you to sleep really well.So don’t use your

mobile phones and computers atleast one hour

before you go to sleep .

3 ) Eye Exercise – as pineal gland is closely

associated with your eyes and head it is always

better to keep your eyes healthy.Do these

following tratak exercises.There are few eye

exercises that you should do,one is look at

your palm,which is closer distance and then

see some object which is far from you,looking

over here,looking over there,go on doing this

30-50 times,a good eye exercise. 2nd exercise,rotate

your eyes from right to left and left to right,rolling

your eyes,third,take your eyes on your shoulder,so

right shoulder to left shoulder.4th,look at

the tip of your nose,5th,look at the centre

of your eyebrows,so all these rolling of eyes

at different places would help in strengthening

the muscles which are holding your eyeballs,do

these eye exercise,these exercise will keep

your eyes in a healthy state and hence it

would keep the pineal gland also active and

healthy.In our life we are busy throughout

using our eyes,it is very very actively used,we

use so much energy through our eyes,but there

is a 3rd eye which is observing what your

eyes are looking at and what your mind is

thinking about,so try and become aware of

that,try and have harmony in nature,try and

be with the harmony in this biological clock

and live correctly.
