However, it’s now known to have a cross function with neural and hormone balance. Mindfulness exercises can be directed to rebalance melatonin and the pineal gland. They include eating nutrients that direct calcium away from the pineal gland. It also includes breathing for good CSF and calming the autonomic nervous system. From a scientific and historic perspective we’ll explore how to heal pineal gland calcification and open the third eye. The pineal gland acts as the third eye in the human brain. It is connected to the eyes via the hypothalamus to detect light. It contains visual cells similar to those in the eye. Evolutionarily, it was a third physical eye in ancient creatures. It releases melatonin in response to darkness. Opening the Third Eye Opening the third eye was an established practice in Ayurvedic medicine. Today, we understand these practices were most likely aimed at healing pineal gland calcification. Shirodhara was a therapy for illnesses related to the head, neck, nervous system, vision, and hearing that is still practiced today. Healers would open the third eye by a thin stream of warm remedial essential oil dripped onto the forehead which would run along the vertex (the upper surface of the head) and down to the shoulders. The mind would ease, and complete relaxation would follow. After 20 minutes a third-eye head massage would be performed. How Does the Pineal Gland Get Calcified? Today CBCT scans reveal the pineal gland can become calcified. Pineal gland cysts or calcifications may be found in up to 60% of people. It was long thought pineal gland calcification was unrelated to other conditions. Today, it is known that endocrine disorders and low melatonin may be linked to pineal gland calcification and cysts. Low melatonin release and symptoms of pineal gland calcification: Aging Headaches and migraine Stroke Fluoride exposure Alzheimer’s disease Schizophrenia Breast cancer Prostate cancer Insulin resistance What are the Signs of the Third Eye Opening? Pineal gland and third eye opening may be different in all people. Some signs of third eye opening include: A feeling of pressure between the eyebrows. Increased foresight. Increased light sensitivity. Increased smell, taste and hearing. The sense of gradual and continual change. Seeing colours. A feeling of vibration and rhythm from your surroundings. Are There Any Dangers of the Third Eye Opening? As with any new experience, pineal gland decalcification may take a period of adjustment. Symptoms or dangers of third eye opening include: Increased headaches, delayed or ongoing. White spots in the vision. The feeling of panic or anxiety. It’s important to remember everyone experiences the third eye opening differently. If you are planning to decalcify the pineal gland, find a time where you are relaxed, feel centred, safe, and not affected by stress. 20 Mindfulness Exercises to Open the Third Eye and Decalcify the Pineal Gland 1.) Spend Time in the Sunlight Every Day Morning light starts the circadian rhythm which regulates melatonin release in the pineal gland. 2.) Sleep in Complete Darkness In the evening, darkness begins the four-hour melatonin release cycle. Artificial light can interfere with melatonin release, unsettling serotonin to melatonin production in the pineal gland. 3.) Reduce Blue Light Exposure TV, mobile, and lighting with blue light can interfere with the normal release of melatonin from the pineal gland. Try wearing blue light blocking glasses (orange lens) in the evening, or installing a free blue light blocking app like f.lux for your computer and smartphone. 4.) Perform Daily Mindful Meditation Research shows meditation can enhance brain processes to heal the pineal gland. Meditation helps produce deep brain waves and stimulate the relaxing parasympathetic nervous system. Closing the eyes helps stimulate darkness, an essential process for the pineal gland. 5.) Perform Yoga Yogic practices have long been thought to decalcify the pineal gland and open the third eye. Inversion postures that turn upside down (head or handstands) may be helpful as they increase blood flow to the pineal gland. 6.)Practice Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing Deep nasal breathing, with longer exhalation, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. Try a 3-second inhalation and 5-second exhalation for 5-10 minutes. 7.) Stimulate the Roof of the Mouth Use your tongue to pl...
