The size of a pea, the pineal gland lies immediately beneath the hypothalamus in a tiny cave at the centre of the brain. It holds the key to sustained health, mood, energy and self-esteem.
The ancient Greeks believed it connected us to the Realms of Thought, while the French philosopher Descartes referred to it as "the seat of the human soul".
On a physiological level, the pineal gland is activated by light and works in harmony with the hypothalamus, directing the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and biological clock, which determines how we age. As a famous psychic Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) once said : "Keep the pineal gland operating and you won't grow old - you will always be young".
Producing the hormone melatonin, a brain chemical that regulates sleep and wake rhythms, the pineal gland controls sleep-wake rhythms, signals the reproductive system to set a child's birth in motion and moderates the states of euphoria and depression. When the pineal is stimulated and functioning optimally, it helps us to sleep and relax. It also improves the immune system, evokes a natural state of euphoria and higher states of intellect (possibly even psychic visions), and helps alleviate depression and the aging process.
GAZING AWAY - Tratak meditation also known as candle gazing can stimulate the pineal gland and help produce higher levels of melatonin. As a daily practice, light a candle and use the candle flame to focus the eyes.
Along with the hypothalamus, the pineal gland forms part of the brain's communication centre, which includes visual, auditory, speech and learning functions. Imbalanced function can lead to dyslexia, stuttering, forgetfulness and inability to think clearly.
HOW TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTIONING OF YOUR PINEAL GLAND?
* Stress management techniques such as meditation and relaxation
* Daily doses of natural light
* Massaging pressure point in feet - pad area of the big toes

* Avoiding melatonin reducing substances such as caffeine, tobacco and alcohol
* Take regular breaks from computer, television and artificial lighting
* Eat foods high in potassium such as brown rice, avocado, broccoli and banana
* Consuming foods high in melatonin or the melatonin precursor trytophan, such as oats, sweet corn, rice, ginger, tomatoes, barley, japanese radish, spirulina, soy, cottage cheese, pepitas, almonds almonds and peanuts.
