The Pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the
brain. Its shape resembles a tiny pine cone (hence
its name), and it is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain,
between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the
thalamus join. The emphasis can be seen on the Pine cone in various
architecture from around the world like Egyptian Pyraminds, Angkor Wat
Cambodia, Egyptian Solar God, Buddha, and
in yogic system as Ida-Pingala-Sushumna nadi coil or rising kundalini.
In Yogic system the pineal gland is referred to as the ‘Ajna’
or ‘3rd Eye’ chakra. Modern studies reveal that the gland contains rods and
cones – just like those found in the retina of our eyes! This
is why when we visualize something strongly enough, we can literally see it “in
your mind’s eye.” (Same as in yogic practice of tratak- antar & bahir trataka).
Pineal gland receives more blood flow per cubic area than
any other gland in our body. This tiny little gland gets the highest
concentration of energy. Studies show our pineal gland secretes a substance
called Dimethyltriptamine
(DMT). The interesting thing about DMT is that it causes
experiences which can take us well beyond common states of awareness, yes.
Pineal gland is also important to our physical and mental health,
and its wellbeing has been linked to memory, creativity, intuition and critical
thinking skills. It plays an important role in our sleep and waking
cycles. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25), the Minute quantities of this
substance, were found to cause profound alterations in consciousness, inducing
states ranging from deeply felt spiritual and mystical experiences to paranoia
and schizophrenia. The LSD-25 molecule was found to be structurally very
similar to the serotonin molecule, produced by Pineal gland. Pineal gland is the physical medium which
regulates the chemistry of altered states of consciousness. Before the
regression of the pineal gland and the subsequent onset of puberty, children
have ready access to a far more diverse range of conscious experience than
adult human beings.
"Unless you become once more like little children you
cannot re-enter the kingdom of heaven" precisely this the process of
reactivating the pineal gland which was deactivated at the puberty.
The Yantras are considered to be a symbol of immense power
partly because when we meditate for prolonged periods on it, focuses the attention on the
area between eyebrows, (the Shambhavi mudra in yogic system) which
stimulates the pineal gland. Pineal gland is the
key to become masters of manifestation. Our system just needs reprograming to
achieve the success and desire to life we really want by using sounds and
symbols / Yantras (specially Shree yantra) & mantras.
