Namaskar! ! 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. Namaskar!
