Pineal Gland and the Third Eye Chakra Connection
Located in the center of your brain between both hemispheres. This gland is a stand alone component with no other opposing counterpart, meaning no right or left side, such as right & left kidney.
What does a pineal gland do?
Essentially the primary function of this gland is to produce a hormone called melatonin.
Melatonin is essential for metabolic functions, sexual development and for the sleep-wake cycle triggered by light and darkness.
Anja in Sanskrit
Spiritually this gland is associated with the third eye chakra because of the area it resides. Ajna translates to “commanding your perception”. The third eye chakra is considered the seat of your soul. This area connects your physical to your spiritual energy. The eyes are receptors of light and dark, in turn, this can be your vision to your true journey and your personal truth.
Foster Balance
In the crystal world, there are gemstones that vibrate energies to foster the balance and opening of your third eye chakra. Look to Indigo color for this aura you seek. Include Labradorite, Amethyst, Sodalite, and Lapis Lazuli to your wheelhouse. Other less popular gemstones include Azurite, Fluorite, and White Jade.
Activate your Pineal Gland
Stimulate your pineal gland with lightness and darkness. Having a photoreceptor that receives light signals through the eyes, choose wisely what type of light you use and when to expose them to the light.
Preserve the Pineal Gland
Things you can do to help preserve the health of your pineal gland include limiting your fluorite intake. Check with your local physician for that. There is fluoride in the toothpaste you choose and possibly in the water you ingest.
Reduce your exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). Some research suggests excessive exposure may affect the pineal gland and limit its ability to produce melatonin. Gadgets like cell phones, microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, TVs, smart meters, and computer screens are common sources of EMFs. It’s that screen of blue light that is being bombarded into our eyes.
Create better Sleeping
Try to keep your bedroom as dark as possible to promote quality sleep. Avoid blue light, consider swapping out LED lights for traditional incandescent bulbs especially if you like to read before you doze off. Drape a towel over your electronics that emit lights into the bedroom especially if they face you while you sleep.
Celebrate the Outdoors!
Include indirect sun exposure to activate your precious pineal gland. Just don’t look at the sun directly.
