Is the Pineal Gland a Third Eye?

Did you realize that your body actually has three physical eyes?

Our mysterious third eye was pondered by mystics through the ages, and has long been believed to be the source of a higher inner vision.

You may be surprised to learn that such a third eye actually does exist. It is a tiny gland in your brain — the pineal gland. The pineal gland is located in the exact geometric center of your brain. Interestingly, this correlates to the exact location of the ancient Great Pyramid that sits in the center of our physical planet.

Your pineal gland is about the size of a pea, and sits in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland. It is located directly behind your eyes, and is attached to your brain’s third ventricle.

And yes,  real.

The true function of this mysterious gland has long been contemplated by philosophers and spiritual adepts. The ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland was the third eye — our connection to the Realms of Thought. The great philosopher Descartes called it the Seat of the Soul.

The pineal has many characteristics of your exterior eyes, including a lens. It contains a complete map of the visual field of the eyes. It is activated by light, and controls your body’s various natural biorhythms. The pineal works in direct harmony with your hypothalamus gland — the director of thirst, hunger, sexual desire, and the biological clock controlling your aging process.

The pineal secretes melatonin when you are relaxed and visualizing, and also responds to electromagnetic energy. At certain brainwave frequencies such as deep Theta, a sense of our ego boundary often vanishes. Our consciousness is then less concerned with our physical state. According to many ancient traditions, this is when our third eye begins to exhibit special powers.

Ancient Beliefs about the Pineal Gland
Many native traditions, ancient mystical practices and mystery schools refer to the ability of being aware of energy fields at higher levels. This level of awareness is different from our normal level of consciousness, which tends to be mostly concerned with our self-identity.

Although the actual physical presence of the pineal gland was not confirmed until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long felt this area of the brain to be the connecting link to alternate realities and higher levels of consciousness.

According to ancient traditions, when the pineal gland awakens, one feels an unusual pressure at the base of their brain. When activated, the pineal gland is said to become a direct line into higher states of consciousness.

Interestingly, the bony plates of the skull directly in front of the third eye do tend to become thinner in long-time meditators and serious seekers.

Developing Your Third Eye
The first step to developing the sensitivity of your third eye is physical relaxation. The ancient mystery schools then have their students develop their pineal gland by first withdrawing their attention from their physical senses. They are then directed to mentally focus on a point in the middle of their forehead. This does not actually use the muscles of your eyes, but is rather an internal focus.

In terms of brainwave training, this would start with establishing good Alpha relaxation. This would be followed by sinking down into conscious Theta to withdraw your focus on any external stimuli.

The trick is to then visualize, very intently, the essence of your energy-based body escaping out through the trap door”at the base of your brain. A popping sound may actually occur in the area of your pineal body at the time you achieve this.

Visualization exercises are the first step in directing the energies in our inner systems to activate the third eye. The magnetic field is created around the pineal gland, by focusing the mind on the midway point between the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The creative imagination visualizes something, and the thought energy of the mind gives life and direction to this form.

ADD, ADHD and Brainwave Training

There’s strong evidence that brainwave training can remedy both adult and childhood ADD and ADHD.

What is adult and child ADHD?
Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder affects the brain and causes difficulty in focusing and concentrating. The disorder is most commonly associated with children, but today more and more adults are being diagnosed with the disease. It is estimated that 8 million adults in the United States alone have ADHD.

How do I know if I have ADHD?
Adults with ADHD tend to be inefficient, easily distracted, impulsive, emotional, display low self-esteem and worry about being judged.

How may ADHD affect my life?
ADHD affects all aspects of life. Adults who have ADHD are more likely to be divorced, unemployed, change jobs frequently and also to abuse drugs, smoke cigarettes and have more driving accidents.

In a special report by Rita Baron-Faust published by CNN, it was revealed that one increasingly popular solution to both ADD and ADHD for both children and adults is neurofeedback. The goal is to reduce theta waves and increase beta waves, thus increasing the individual’s attentiveness.

Dr. Joel Lubar, a psychologist at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville who originated neurofeedback treatment for ADHDand ADD  in the 1970s, says neurofeedback can produce some of the same brainwave changes as drugs used to treat these disorders.

In a 1998 study published in Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, researchers in Ontario, Canada taught ADHD patients biofeedback and learning strategies. They found a significant improvement in symptoms such as impulsiveness and inattention after 40 EEG biofeedback sessions, as well as a change in the ratio of beta to theta waves.

Biofeedback can not only help a person use brainwaves they don’t usually employ, but it may also help increase blood flow to specific parts of the brain involved with ADHD, says Lubar (and) can help these people become less dependent on stimulants like Ritalin.

More than 700 groups nationwide are using EEG biofeedback for ADD/ADHD, according to the Association for Applied Psychotherapy and Biofeedback, an organization of biofeedback practitioners.

Patients have reported a 60 to 80 percent significant improvement in symptoms, and much less need for medicine.

Ther problem is the cost of of clinical treatment. Many people are therefore turning to a popular low cost online solution — the Self Growth Planet‘s ADD and ADHD brainwave training programs.

How to Build Mind Power

Thinking Builds Connections

Recent research on the physical results of thinking have clearly demonstrated that just challenging your  brain by thinking actually increases the number of connections between your brain cells. The more we think, the better our brain function – regardless of age.

The famed researcher Dr. Marion Diamond says the brain can change at any age. In fact, older brains may often have an advantage. She discovered that highly developed neurons respond even better to intellectual enrichment than less developed (younger) ones do. You can build your mind power, regardless of your age!

Walking Builds Brain Power
Walking is especially good for your brain and mind power, because it increases blood circulation, and thus more oxygen and glucose reach your brain. And since walking isn’t strenuous, your muscles use up the extra oxygen and glucose like they do during more intense forms of exercise.

Walking may seem to clear your head and help you to think better because is oxygenates your brain. Also the increased blood flow to the brain enhances your brain’s energy production and waste removal. Several studies now show that in response to exercise, cerebral blood vessels grow, even in middle-aged, in response to exercise.

A Toe Wiggle Brain Exercise
Wiggling your toes  immediately activates a set of nerves that stimulate your brain and internal organs?  Try this mind power exercise in the morning before you get out of bed: Slowly begin to move your toes any way that feels good to you. Try moving them all and once, and then in smaller groups.

You can also do this exercise after sitting for an extended period of time. You will be surprised at how it helps you become more alert and energized.

A Daily Brain Building Exercise
Here’s a do it now exercise that will immediately develop your mind power by creating new physical neural connections: Switch the hand you’re using to control your computer mouse and begin to use the hand you normally avoid.  If you immediately feel uncomfortable and awkward, that’s a good sing that your brain is struggling to learn a new skill.

Try expanding this to other everyday routines such as getting out of bed on the opposite side, holding your brush or toothbrush with the other hand, driving a different route to the store or work, etc.

Brainwave Training
In the final analysis, the fastest way to build your mind power is through the regular use of engineered brainwave training. There’s a reason Dr. Deepak Chopra calls brainwave training the medicine of the future. You can immediately bust your stress, develop amazing mental clarity, and even raise your IQ or overcome ADD and ADHD. Check out the Self Growth Planet!
