Third Eye
Allyson from Palm Desert, CA, asked:
Hi Julie,
I’ve heard many conversations around the necessity of a healthy Pineal Gland. Flouride and other chemicals are reportedly damaging it by calcification. I’m also aware that this is considered our ‘third eye’ and if we are to be more in-tune with our body and soul we should have a healthy pineal gland.
Would you please check mine and let me know how it looks and what I might need to do to improve its health?
Thank you so much, Allyson
Hi Allyson,
Wikipedia says, “The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. The shape of the gland resembles a pine cone, hence its name. The pineal gland is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, and is tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. The pineal gland produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone which modulates sleep patterns in both circadian and seasonal cycles”.
I don’t believe the pineal gland is our “third eye”, rather, I believe it sits behind the 6th chakra (an energy center in our foreheads). When this chakra is combined with the frontal lobe of our brain, together, they comprise our third eye. By the way, the third eye is a mystical and esoteric concept of a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight (otherwise known as intuition). Everyone is born with this ability. For example, have you ever thought of someone and then heard from or unexpectedly run into them? That’s your intuition at work.
When energetically connecting with you I could “see” your third eye (6th chakra) is wide open. This means you have the ability to access what we would consider to be intuitive information and you can enhance your abilities with lots of practice.
As for your pineal gland, it looks a bit sluggish, perhaps by the toxins (fluoride and other chemicals) mentioned in your question. To help it heal, consider increasing your intake of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, along with more citrus fruits and wild blueberries. Of course, get organic foods if you can.
In addition, consider sleeping in a dark bedroom. Use blackout drapes, avoid nightlights and cover any LED lights in the room. Since the pineal gland regulates our sleep cycles, it gets overtaxed when our bedrooms have even dim lights on when it’s time to sleep.
Hope you find this information useful. Thanks for your question.
