What is the Third Eye and how can I activate it?
Spiritual texts often refer to a third or ‘all-seeing eye’. This is the name that has been attributed to the pineal gland – a pine cone shaped gland found in the middle of our brains which forms part of the endocrine system. Whilst scientifically, it is known for its production of the hormone melatonin which regulates sleep patterns and also for protecting our bodies against damaging free radicals, it is also believed to act as a link between the spiritual and physical worlds - an inner portal, if you like, connecting us with dream and spiritual planes. The pineal gland is the sixth of the seven chakras in our bodies – Ajna – which is associated with spiritual wisdom and perception of non-physical reality. Activating your pineal gland therefore helps the sixth chakra to reach its potential, which includes clairvoyance, psychic abilities, imagination, and dreaming. Philosopher Descartes referred to the pineal gland as ‘the seat of the soul’.
Although pine cone shaped, if the pineal gland were to be cut open, it resembles an eye and in fact the inner wall contains rods and cones similar to those in the retina. The pineal even has the same wiring to the brain’s visual cortex. It really does appear to be the ‘third eye’.
Sadly today the pineal gland in most adults is not activated due to electronic pollution and the amount of fluoride we consume. It is however possible to decalcify and activate your pineal gland following the steps below, allowing you to open your ‘third eye’ and see beyond the physical world, strengthening your psychic ability.
The main problem is the calcification of the pineal gland. It’s water-filled interior calcifies with age and as result of our modern lifestyles, causing it to deteriorate. Here is what you can do:
Fluoride
Fluoride is the number one enemy of the pineal gland. Naturally occurring fluoride in small amounts is okay but the excessive consumption of synthetic fluoride through drinking tap water, through our pores whilst showering and in our toothpastes, which accumulates in our pineal gland and causes calcification, is very damaging indeed. However, you can reduce this by getting a water filtration system which removes fluoride from your tap water, reducing time spent in the shower or bath, buying fluoride-free toothpaste and refusing fluoride treatments at the dentist. Iodine can also help the body to remove fluoride - organic kelp is high in natural iodine.
Diet
Lose the highly processed foods with additives, preservatives, chemicals and pesticides, including processed meats and fizzy drinks and opt for organic, raw, plant-based foods. Supplement your diet with raw cacao, chlorophyll rich foods, organic apple cider vinegar and oregano oil and neem extract.
Pure Air
Purify the air in your home with an air purifier.
Ensure complete darkness
The pineal gland needs total darkness in order to emit melatonin which produces serotonin – chemicals essential to psychic awareness. Remove all electrical devices from your bedroom. Anything that emits light – even a small light on an alarm clock or mobile phone – will disrupt melatonin production.
Spiritual Practise
This is key to activating your ‘all-seeing eye’ and seeing beyond the physical world. This could include meditation, kundalini yoga, chanting, Tai Chi and Qigong.
Simply using breathing techniques whilst resting your attention and placing awareness on your third eye between your eyebrows can stimulate your pineal gland. As well darkness, light is one of the stimulators for the pineal gland so you can do a mediation that includes a beam of light.
As with most things in life, practise is the key. The more you develop or activate your pineal gland, the healthier and more functional your pineal gland becomes.
