Posted on May 27, 2025




Greetings in the Light and Love of our Infinite Creator.

We enjoy the moments we share with all of you. Thank you for this Transmission

Vitality, health, abundance, and healing are dynamic energies that are expanding and evolving in your life as you embark on this transformative journey. However, it is crucial to recognize that you cannot simply sit back and wait for these positive changes to manifest on their own. Instead, you must take an active role in this process. In these pivotal moments, you find yourself in a blossoming stage of your awareness, where your consciousness is expanding, allowing you to observe the world around you without immediate reaction or judgment. This newfound perspective enables you to see situations and experiences from a higher vantage point, fostering clarity and understanding that may have previously eluded you. It is an invitation to step boldly into the New You, fully embracing and embodying your inherent divinity and potential.

As you navigate this transformative phase, be prepared for many things to emerge into your reality. This includes New Disclosures and New evidence that will pave the way for New Beginnings. These revelations may challenge your current understanding and beliefs, but they are essential for your growth and evolution. It is important to recognize that this phase of your ascension is at an Urgent stage; the transition from the old paradigms to the new is not just a distant possibility–it is actively unfolding. The end of the old ways of being and the beginning of new opportunities and experiences are well on their way to manifesting in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can embrace and say yes to both the endings and the beginnings, allowing yourself to fully experience the richness of this transformative journey.

Now is the time to take control of your own journey, to steer your ship through the seas of change with intention and purpose. Reflect deeply on who you are, the essence of your being, and where you find yourself on this intricate journey of inner-discovery and growth. It is essential to stabilize yourself within the Higher frequencies of Love and Light vibrations.

These frequencies are powerful forces that can elevate your state of awareness, enhance your well-being, and align you with your highest potential. By grounding yourself in these elevated vibrations, you create a solid foundation from which to navigate the changes and challenges that lie ahead, ensuring that you remain centered and resilient as you embrace the unfolding of your new reality. There are many things about to emerge into your reality, within and without. Observe them and keep only what empowers you forward.

With eternal Love and deep respect. We Witness you, We Celebrate you, and we Honor you. In the Love and Light of our Infinite Creator. We are the Andromeda Intergalactic Council, Here to Serve the Divine.

The Disappearing Bees: A Crisis Threatening Your Food and Health

The Disappearing Bees: A Crisis Threatening Your Food and Health

By Willow Tohi

Posted on May 18, 2025



Bees are essential for pollinating one-third of the food we consume, ensuring the fertility and diversity of crops like almonds, blueberries and carrots, which are crucial for maintaining nutritional diversity and health.

Between 2023 and 2024, beekeepers in the United States experienced a 55.1% loss in their colonies, the highest in over a decade. This decline is driven by habitat loss, pesticide exposure (particularly neonicotinoids) and invasive species like the Varroa destructor mite.

The loss of bees threatens food security by disrupting crop yields and increasing prices. It also affects plant diversity, which is fundamental to ecosystems and wildlife, leading to cascading ecological effects. Bees are indicators of environmental health, and their struggle signals broader ecological challenges.

Bees provide valuable health products such as honey, bee pollen, propolis and royal jelly. These products offer antibacterial, antifungal, neuroprotective and immune-boosting properties, highlighting the importance of bees beyond pollination.

Protecting bees requires sustainable practices like reducing pesticide use, planting native flowers and supporting local beekeepers. Policy changes, such as restricting neonicotinoid use and promoting bee-friendly agriculture, are also crucial. Individuals and communities can contribute by creating pollinator-friendly habitats and raising awareness about the importance of bees.

Bees are dying at an alarming rate, and their disappearance threatens not only food security but also your health and the future of ecosystems worldwide. In the United States alone, beekeepers lost an estimated 55.1% of their colonies between 2023 and 2024—the highest loss in over a decade. This crisis underscores the critical role bees play as pollinators and providers of essential health products. Without their contributions, the diversity and bounty of food and natural medicines would diminish significantly.

The essential role of bees in ecosystems

Bees are among the most vital pollinators on Earth, responsible for pollinating one-third of the food we consume. Despite wind-pollinated crops like rice and wheat forming the cornerstone of your diet, bees ensure the fertility and diversity of countless other foods. From almonds and blueberries to carrots and watermelons, their pollination services are indispensable. Jeff Pettis, president of Apimondia, explains, “Without bees, we wouldn’t starve, but we’d lose much of the nutritional diversity that keeps us healthy.”

Beyond pollination, bees offer remarkable health benefits through their products. Honey, with its ancient origins traced back to Egyptian beekeepers, is a natural antibacterial and antifungal agent. It soothes coughs, supports oral health and may even combat cancer cells. Bee pollen, rich in vitamins and enzymes, serves as a powerful multivitamin. Propolis, or “bee glue,” has neuroprotective and immune-boosting properties, while royal jelly supports fertility and bone health. Yet, despite their generosity, bees face unprecedented threats.

The alarming decline of bee populations

The decline of bees is driven by a combination of habitat loss, pesticide exposure and invasive species. Monoculture farming, which prioritizes a single crop over diverse flora, leaves bees without sufficient nutritional resources. Pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, impair bees’ navigation, reproduction and immune systems. Additionally, parasitic mites like Varroa destructor decimate colonies, spreading diseases like deformed wing virus.

Since the early 2000s, colony collapse disorder has exacerbated this crisis, though it remains a complex interplay of factors. As Pettis notes, “Bees are under constant stress from multiple directions.” The 2023-2024 survey revealed a 55.1% annual loss in U.S. colonies, with winter losses reaching their third-highest levels on record. Commercial beekeepers, managing the majority of colonies, saw the greatest impact, highlighting systemic pressures facing large-scale operations.

Health and environmental implications of bee decline

The loss of bees poses dire consequences for both ecosystems and human health. Reduced pollination disrupts crop yields, threatening food security and driving up prices. Beyond agriculture, bees sustain plant diversity, which forms the backbone of ecosystems. Declining plant diversity, in turn, affects wildlife and biodiversity, creating cascading ecological effects.

Invasive hornets and beetles further strain bee populations, while climate change alters flowering patterns, exacerbating stress on already vulnerable colonies. Jana Schmidt, a naturopathic doctor and beekeeper, emphasizes, “Bees are indicators of environmental health. If they’re struggling, it’s a sign we need to act.” Protecting bees is not just about saving these insects—it’s about preserving the intricate web of life they sustain.

Conservation efforts and how you can help

Efforts to protect bees require a collective commitment to sustainable practices. Reducing pesticide use, planting native flowers and supporting local beekeepers are vital steps. By creating pollinator-friendly habitats and avoiding harmful chemicals, individuals can contribute significantly. Schmidt advocates for biodiversity preservation, noting, “We’ve domesticated ourselves away from the natural world. Bees remind us of our interconnectedness.”

Policy-makers are also stepping up to address the issue, from restricting neonicotinoid use to supporting bee-friendly agricultural practices. Educating beekeepers and raising public awareness are equally critical. Bee products, like raw honey and bee pollen, offer a direct connection to these essential pollinators. As Schmidt concludes, “We don’t keep bees—they keep us.”

A call to action

The fate of bees is intertwined with your own. Their decline signals broader environmental challenges, while their recovery offers hope for a healthier planet. By taking action to protect bees, you safeguard your food, health and ecosystems. As Burris, a third-generation beekeeper, reflects, “Bees don’t need us—we need them.”

The world has entered a new time

The world has entered a new time

The Arcturian Group

Channel: Marilyn Raffaele

Posted on April 28, 2025





Dear Readers welcome to our message.

The world has entered a new time, one in which present forms of business, religion, government, science, entertainment, tradition, and anything created from and supported by obsolete concepts are starting to crumble in order that new, better, and higher versions of them  can manifest. What you are seeing at this time are not new and higher versions of these things.

You are only at the beginning of much to come. What is taking place today will not be permanent but is helping  to awaken those who believe everything they see, hear, and are told by others.  Increasingly more are starting  to actually look at and question aspects of government, law, health, education, organized religion, and the world's current belief system.

Mankind has reached a place of spiritual readiness to evolve beyond the well established but increasingly obsolete belief system that has governed every aspect of life on earth for eons.  Allow the process for it has indeed begun and there is no need to wait for a sign or event to confirm it.   Observe the process from the strong foundation that you are building as you learn to  accept, integrate, and live your knowledge of absolute truth.

Absolute truth is the fullness of spiritual reality and the foundation from which human consciousness evolves.  Serious seekers of truth often get waylaid and confused by absolute truth because they expect that once you read a book, take a class, or start meditating, the spiritual truth they learn will automatically manifest.  They may throw away their medicine, quit their jobs, etc. while shouting; "God is all!"  and when they find themselves in trouble begin to doubt that what they have learned.

Consciousness is creative.  Mind is the interpreter of consciousness and thus truth must be an attained state of consciousness before it can express. It is like learning to drive.  You memorize the steps, practice, (intellectual level) and soon driving becomes automatic (state of consciousness). Honesty is another example.  You don't even consider stealing because honesty is your state of consciousness.  Evolution is nothing more than every person's  journey toward awakening into the reality of who and what they are.

Evolution on earth in three dimensional  energy has always consisted of experiences of good, bad, and horrible over the course of many lifetimes until  finally they learn everything needing to be learned from three dimensional experiences and are ready to start looking within rather than without.  After earth becomes a higher resonating planet, those at the very beginning of their evolutionary journey will evolve on planets able to meet the needs of their energy levels.

Living an authentic spiritual life is not about acting out concepts of how being spiritual looks, but rather consists of being in the world, doing what needs to be done while not being of it.  It means assigning power only to God and all that God is regardless of appearances. It means going within before making big decisions and trusting intuition be your guide and shield.  It means being aware of the absolute truth that God is all there is, but not pretending a state of consciousness not yet attained. It means  translating outer appearances to the spiritual reality underlying them while taking the human footsteps you may be required  to take at your present level of consciousness.

Gradually the truth you learn, hold in your heart, and live  as best you can,  becomes your attained state of consciousness where the practice of truth is no longer needed because you are it.  Life  becomes easier and more harmonious and when issues arise they are more easily and quickly resolved because you hear and trust your intuition and your consciousness is manifesting outwardly. There is peace in your heart which is the only way permanent true peace will ever come to the world.

Earth is a spiritual universe peopled with sons and daughters of God and governed by love. What  you are seeing, have been seeing, and have been  programmed to see for centuries are mind formed interpretations of spiritual reality.  In earth's dense three dimensional energy states of consciousness conditioned lifetime after lifetime with beliefs of duality, separation and many powers are only able to see, experience, and  manifest God's perfect creations as material form.

No one person is better or more loved by God than any other.  All, whether on earth or some other planet are of the same one and only life.  When you observe  lives lived in less than an ideal way, it  is important to remember that before incarnating every person chooses the life lessons they feel they will need while on earth.

The homeless man or woman may have specifically chosen that experience for their learning.   The alcoholic may have incarnated with the intention of once and for all re-experiencing, moving beyond,  and then finally clearing lifetimes of addiction. The choice of race, skin color, or gender is often made for the purpose of experiencing the prejudice that he/she may have supported and been a part of in a previous life.  Not everyone completes their chosen life lessons  but will be much closer to doing it in their next life.

These times offer tremendous opportunities for everyone to awaken to new and higher states of consciousness should they choose.  Those opening to that which is  new and higher are often not fully aware of what has taken place within.  Many do not express or are even consciously aware of spiritual knowledge  but rather find themselves  living with more  patience, compassion, understanding, and actions of oneness expressed in seemingly ordinary ways.

You will or are already  experiencing individuals coming to you with questions or for your opinion regarding what is going on. This is because your energy is attracting those of similar energy who are ready for more. This will increase.  Never proselytize or randomly spout truth where it is not welcome but be prepared to guide, assist, and teach those drawn to you.  This is light-work.

Light work has always been thought of as forms of table work- healing, channeling,  etc. but in reality Light work is simply silently and secretly being  Light.   It  is opening the door for someone, petting a lonely dog, or simply saying hello while never forgetting to silently acknowledge their true Divine nature. Everyone becomes a light worker when without ego involvement or desire for recognition they live life from a place of love, service, kindness, patience etc.

It is natural to feel some trepidation and confusion or even be tempted  to go into full blown fear at this time.  Don't resist for this simply adds energy to appearances but rather  recognize these things for what they are.  As you live each moment with truth in your heart and mind you begin to experience levels where fear does not exist and find that you are no longer so deeply affected by appearances.

You chose to be on earth for these present times.  You knew that evolved states of  consciousness  imbued with love and  truth would be desperately needed for earth's ascension process but there is no need to do, do, do.                                        Just BE.

Align with the Key Themes of 2025

Align with the Key Themes of 2025

By Sandra Walter

Posted on January 26, 2025



Blessings Beloves

This brilliant passage brings strong energy shifts, dramatic events, and activation of higher trajectories. All paths lead to Unity Consciousness, which is why alignment is so vital in this Now.

2025 Themes

Be aware of these key themes, and the major energy shifts (next LightLetter), to align with the profound upgrades available this year.

Acceleration of Coherence

Feel beyond the surface: Acceleration is not just the sensation of time speeding up or collapsing, or rapid-fire novelty events. There is a quickening of coherence, synchronicity, and plasma beyond the veil that affects our reality structures. True Unity Consciousness begins to physicalize.

Chaotic Dismantling

Dense and outdated structures unravel, appearing as chaos but paving the way for new creation. Realities that served their purpose now dissolve, as the primordial vibration of LoveLight increases.

Mother Plasma, Zero Point and Source Particles
This realm-shifting convergence of plasma, particles, and Zero Point energies produce the self-correcting mechanisms of Divine order.
Magnetic field fluctuations affect the collective ability to create density. Notice the presence of stillness in the field beyond the dismantling.

Transcendence

The truth of love as the ultimate power amplifies. This is supreme support for those choosing to transcend lower density versions of self.

Refinement & Divine Order
Collective higher trajectories amplify and refine our paths. Simplify as old beliefs, choices, and creations don’t ‘matter’ anymore.

Access Original Purity
A return to the unaltered essence of being, the original purity of our Divine presence. The ways we experience and interpret consciousness in form will shift dramatically.

Revelation & Gaia Wisdom

Greater clarity exposes uncomplimentary realities and fosters higher-perspective choices. Ascended Gaia emerges as a wise elder, revealing higher truths. Gaia has a new voice; listen to her often.

Freedom & Golden Race Kryst Codes
As limitations of the old illusion dissolve, higher trajectories become clearer, fostering liberation. Energy shifts awaken dormant codes within DNA, stimulating biophotonic transformation in aligned hearts.

Health & Death

Everyone is advised to take excellent care of the physical right now. Remember that a healthy nervous system enhances our ability to integrate higher frequencies and stay balanced. Many Souls will depart the physical vessel as the energies rise.

Presence Embodiment
Powerful influxes and energy shifts support those on the path to embodiment of the Divine Presence. This type of embodiment causes rapid shifts in the collective, the field, and our trajectories.

The Reality About Chemtrails

The Reality About Chemtrails

By Ashtar Command

Channel: Neva Gabriel
Posted on January 16, 2024





Greetings from the Command!

For a long time, the so-called chemtrails have become a chemical threat to your health.

Although they are still seen by many as conspiracy information, it is the purest reality: your skies have been used for a long time as spaces for contamination when heavy metals and degenerative chemistry, which would cause diseases that seem “natural” and imperceptible at first glance, were released into the air by planes and other means.

Chemtrails have always been a very serious topic within our Federation, considering it was one of the harshest means those acting in the shadows had to maintain control over you, through diseases caused by such contaminations.

Obviously, as we’ve said, all this in a very imperceptible manner for many, because looking at the sky and seeing these trails would not instill any suspicion since, at first glance, they are just “airplane contrails in the sky, nothing more,” and thus, they continued poisoning people for a long period.

It’s crucial to emphasize that this is currently being finalized by our forces. We have been strongly acting in atmospheric clean-ups, and these means are being concluded.

It’s not just this that has been contaminating your physical and mental health. The food industry, for a long time, has only given you “mass to kill hunger,” but it has no intention of nourishing your bodies.

Of course, there are exceptions: our many allies who have, in alternative ways, helped many people with their diet.

You yourselves have felt the need to eat better and seek healthier foods, as much as possible.

We know that human conditions in many regions are difficult, and one of the first things to be implemented when the plans go into action is to permanently end hunger on the planet and the means by which it happens.

There is life and health for all, as well as healthy food, potable water, and means for disease healing worldwide.

However, the elites, in their power games, have continued for a long time to corner you into trenches, in the war they always wanted you to believe in, when they ferment in your heads that living is a constant struggle.

Clearly, keeping many people sick, hungry, and without access to the basics is a way to make them (the elites) seem more heroic when they manage a desperate plea for help for the bare minimum to survive, while they, the minority, undermine people’s daily efforts, transferring wealth to themselves and living surrounded by everything they need, without scarcity.

The way you have been treated over the centuries is cruel, and we assure you this is ending.’

Our messages have reached the “ears” of many leaders around the world, and certainly, our attention on Neva and other reliable channels is being redoubled, as their social media and means of mass transmission begin to be seen and marked as “red flags” in the paperwork of those who do not want people’s minds to open to the basics.

We hasten to inform you that much of what we bring is not new.

Be assured that it is DIFFERENT this time, because the traps they set against people are no longer active, and we have been authorized to corner them in ways we never have before.

Additionally, within our messages, we are embedding codes that our allies on Earth understand well and can know the next step forward.

While all this unfolds, seemingly behind the curtains as they say, you begin to perceive that there’s something different in the air, and this time, it’s not a chemistry that deteriorates your central nervous system, let alone ferments potential for cancer or keeps you in a constant state of stress and fear.

In reality, what you perceive now is a different energy, which your souls begin to capture and transmit to your physical brain, inspiring you to take better care of yourselves.

Continuous health checks for your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health begin to become a daily habit.

It’s no surprise that you start to no longer eat what you ate before, nor go to places you used to, let alone accept relationships that poison your souls.

This is a natural movement because while we advance at high orbit below the planet, you on the surface change the vibration, leaving the non-Federated Draconians and Reptilians, leaders of most global elites, with no way out, because the only way they can control you is when you yourselves do not value your own lives, existing in “automatic” mode, without the basics, leading to a cascade of expansions: why am I here? what is my role? where did I come from and where am I going?

These are basic questions to start exiting the matrix. Apart from bombarding your leaders with the basic question we’ve been instructing you for so long: why are you hiding extraterrestrial reality?

You will begin to see the food industries start a collapse process.

Current medicine being completely remodeled, and, of course, the way you are treated completely changed, so that you have lighter and happier experiences when human dignity will be the primary agenda in all Earth’s surface regeneration programs.

No old structure of non-Federated Reptilian and Draconian domination and power will remain standing on this planet.

No means that exploit, mine, malnourish, and unbalance life, in its various forms, will remain active in this world, for the time of transformations has come, and you will see, little by little, the undermining of the means by which the Illuminati and their power networks have sustained themselves.

While all this happens, you continue to be called by us, who are populating your skies, as time goes by, making our partnership with you undeniable and reducing the chances of the most skeptical to see us as a threat to life.

We never wished to dominate your planet and enslave you, as some of your movies have shown over the decades.

That was another means to instill in your subconscious the idea of a dominant extraterrestrial invasion, so that when the moment you are now arrived, the memories of what the movies delivered would be activated, and you could deny our support and ask for help from your leaders.

It’s not new that their agenda has always been to create the problem and the solution at the same time, so you would keep giving them power, and they would continue being the heroes.

The old world continues to crumble, and do not fear when you are called to also abandon old habits. Your souls confirm this need to abandon old customs, often imposed by your limiting beliefs about life and how to “be and live.”

Those who have muffled their souls with distractions now see an empire they thought was indestructible crumble, realizing our arrival after so many warnings we’ve given over the last 300 years.

There is no other way but that of this planet’s redemption. Our fleets are tasked with finalizing the means that have kept them in power for so long.

We emphasize again that we are not your saviors, but we are friends who come with “trumpets” at high volume, alerting you to the predators around, so you can wake up and take the necessary measures not to be dragged into cycles of deception and perpetuation of suffering.

We are also glad to say that one of the main Draconian leaders at the top of power surrendered in the last few days and relinquished a base in Congo (Africa), freeing many souls there.

This positively impacts the harmonization of chronic conflicts in regions like Sudan, Mali, Mozambique, Angola, Darfur, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and other points on the continent.

Obviously, the astral zones of these regions were taken over by Reptilian soldiers, commanded by this leader who recently surrendered, thus ensuring their dispersion, who have immediately begun to be captured by our forces.

Africa is one of our future bases, and we are directing one of our main fleets there.

This continent has been suffering in many regions from the abuses of the elites, who wished to perpetuate suffering in many environments there, and finally, the Divine Masters are heading there for the necessary liberations.

There is a vast number of starseeds living physically in these places, and the great awakening will leverage the great balance in the continent.

The world, little by little, will interconnect its forces for a common good, and there will be no other leadership than Love and Fraternity.

For many, this might still be a mere utopia, but we assure you it is the inevitable reality, for thus is decreed the Ascension of Earth, and there is no one who can change the plans already set by the COSMIC FORCE we call Supreme Creator.

This is an official message from the Ashtar Command, speaking through Neva at this time. Listen to the voice of the Ashtar Command speaking now and conveying these truths!

Friends of Earth, little by little, you will realize the need to hold hands to move forward together towards liberation. You have all the support from the heavens, and now, more than ever, this union is necessary.

The old common saying among you has never made more sense: the voice of the people is the voice of God! You will see yourselves unified, chanting in a single voice, all nations of Earth: I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY COSMIC HERITAGE THAT HAS BEEN DENIED TO ME. It was this chanting that brought us here, and here we shall remain.

Adonai.

What is the Pineal Gland’s Function and How to Amplify It

What is the Pineal Gland’s Function and How to Amplify It

By Mindbliss

Posted on August 21, 2024


Did you know that you can develop intuition and improve your health at the same time?

Well, you can, through the pineal gland.

You may be asking, well, what is the pineal gland?

The pineal gland, also known as the pineal body, is a small pine cone shaped gland that lies deep inside the center of the brain in the epithalamus. It is a part of the endocrine system and helps to regulate melatonin, which is a chemical produced in the brain that helps the body sleep at night. The pineal gland function lies in governing the production of hormones as well as the maintenance of the circadian rhythm, which is essentially our sleep/wake cycle.

Almost all animals have a pineal gland and its role remained a mystery for a long time. The role of this tiny gland was one of the last to be discovered and has only recently begun to be understood. In fact, scientists are still studying it today and as of yet, it’s complete role and function has not been defined by researchers. It has long been associated with the idea of the “third eye”, which is a spiritual symbol of all-knowing according to yoga philosophy and often perceived as a gateway for the soul’s liberation.

In his book Kundalini Tantra, Swami Satyananda Saraswati says, “It has also been called ‘the eye of intuition‘, and it is the doorway through which the individual enters the astral and psychic dimension of consciousness. Perhaps the most common name for this chakra is “the third eye”, and the mystical traditions of every age and culture make abundant references to it. It is portrayed as a psychic eye located midway between the two physical eyes and it looks inward instead of outward.”

The idea of the third eye has also floated around science circles previously, as some believe the pineal gland is what has been leftover in the human brain of an actual, physical third eye which we eventually evolved out of. The gland itself is very small, about 1/3 of an inch long and is located in the center of the brain. It is a reddish-gray color and is primarily made up of pineal cells and neuroglia cells.

Calcification of the pineal gland often occurs as a result of excess fluoride and other mineral deposits. This may, in turn, affect the body’s ability to regulate melatonin and its circadian rhythm. The pineal gland is photosensitive and secretes less melatonin during the day and more at night; hence, why most people are awake during the day and feel tired for sleep at night time.

Swami Satyananda Saraswati says: “The pineal gland acts as a lock on the pituitary. As long as the pineal gland is healthy, the functions of the pituitary are controlled. However, in most of us, the pineal gland started to degenerate when we reached the age of eight, nine or ten. Then the pituitary began to function and to secrete various hormones which instigated our sexual consciousness, our sensuality and worldly personality. At this time, we began to lose touch with our spiritual heritage. However, through various yogic techniques, such as trataka and shambhavi mudra (third eye gazing), it is possible to regenerate or maintain the health of the pineal gland.”

The pituitary gland is a gland that acts as a master gland, controlling many of the hormonal functions in the body. It is located in the hypothalamus in the brain, which also contributes to our sleep/wake patterns  This means the pituitary and pineal gland work together for proper function. Imbalances in the pineal gland (and pituitary) can lead to sleep disturbances and problems with your sleep/wake cycle. Therefore, this tiny, little gland plays a bigger role in our lives than previously thought!

Spirituality and the Third Eye

In addition to the physiological role the pineal gland plays in the body, it is also commonly associated with spiritual thought and mystical experiences. Ancient sages and mystics believed this area of the body to be the space for ascension and enlightenment through the brain/body. It is perceived as a bridge between our inner and outer worlds, as well as to a connection to something beyond what we know to exist, to a higher state of consciousness.

It was called the “seat of the soul” by French philosopher Descartes, although science has mostly discarded his sentiments. However, now that it has been proven that melatonin is in part regulated by the pineal gland, it does lend credibility to the fact that increased melatonin production can produce transcendent or mystical experiencesduring a waking state such as meditation through its function as a psychotropic chemical.

Outside the realm of science, the pineal gland is associated with the sixth chakra, called ajna or the “third eye” center located between your eyebrows (essentially deep back in your brain). The ancient yogis who wrote The Vedas in India between 1500-500 B.C. outlined a long time ago these physiological and psychic energy pathways that run through the body as a map we can still use today to better understand ourselves. When you strengthen and activate the third eye, you awaken intuition and inner wisdom on the path to Self-Realization.

It is the second to last step before reaching total enlightenment (according to yoga philosophy, which actually occurs through the crown of the head). Psychic energy is said to accumulate in this area of the brain and body.However, in the grand scheme of the world, when this center is active and open, you can better understand your role in life and the various signs and synchronicities that occur and point you in the right direction.

Symbolically, the third eye represents union on the path to cosmic consciousness, divine wisdom, inner knowing, and intuition. This is the place where the ego is left behind and the concept of duality begins to unwind in order to embrace unity or the concept of oneness.

“When we begin to see each other through what the metaphysician calls, the third eye, we begin to know each other on a level that is beyond what our physical eyes can see.”

~ Marianne Williamson

Using this powerful center can teach you to trust in divine while managing your ability to focus your life to the best of your ability and play your part in the world. When this occurs, your actions, words, and choices reflect this state of being and a more peaceful existence is possible.

So how can you learn to amplify your pineal gland to live a better life?

Who doesn’t want a little more wisdom knowing they’re on the right path…

Here are 5 steps you can take to begin amplifying your pineal gland today:

1) Meditate Regularly

Meditation is one of the most popular ways to learn how to awaken your third eye and stimulate your pineal gland. Meditation stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to relax the body and mind so that mundane thoughts of everyday life do not impede your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

There is research to support the fact that people who meditate have higher concentrations of melatonin than those who do not meditate. Closing the eyes during meditation stimulates the perception of darkness by the brain, which may be a reason for this occurring.

Mindfulness Meditation is a practical way to begin a meditation practice.

  • Find a quiet spot to sit comfortably, close your eyes and follow your breath.
  • Allow your focus to be completely absorbed in your breath. If your mind wanders, bring it back so that you become a witness to your breath.
  • Over time, you can choose what your focus is- perhaps it’s a body part, or a sound, or anything you can imagine.

2) Practice Gazing Meditation

According to ancient yogic philosophy, specific gazing techniques such as Trataka meditation can increase third eye activation. The most common way to practice Trataka is by candle gazing, or gazing at the flame of a candle without blinking for 1-3 minutes. Then, close your eyes and focus on the afterimage for several minutes until it disappears. You can repeat this several times in one session.

Another way of practicing this is to focus your eyes on a specific point in space, called dristhi in yoga. A common third eye meditation involves gazing at a spot in line with your nose, then gazing at the tip of your nose, and finally, directing your gaze upward to your brow or third eye area (called Shambhavi Mudra). You can practice each gazing point for up to 10 minutes each.

3) Try Color Visualization

Visualization is another way to amplify the power of your pineal gland and third eye center. In chakra theory from yoga philosophy, the Ajna chakra or third eye is the color indigo, which is a deep blue-purple color.

You can envision this color in your mind’s eye at the space between your brows or even deep back into the brain where the pineal gland resides. The Sanskrit word Ajna means “command”, so by visualizing this color here, you further activate your “command center” in order to live your life to its fullest potential by piercing obstacles in your path through your own willpower.

4) Eat Cleansing Foods

In order for the pineal gland to function at its optimum potential, a balanced and healthy diet is essential. Fluoride, which is frequently found in water supplies and toothpaste, calcifies the pineal gland, which lowers its function. Therefore, a cleansing diet rich in super-greens like spirulina and chlorophyll will be very beneficial for keeping the pineal gland active through the detoxification process and nutrients they provide.

5) Experiment with a Sensory Deprivation Tank

Because the pineal gland is photosensitive, exposing yourself to full sunlight as well as immersing yourself in total darkness at night will help to maintain a healthy pineal gland. If total darkness is not regularly possible, try a sensory deprivation tank. Also called “float tanks”, these containers allow you to be immersed in a closed tub of water where you feel like you can float, completely cut off from all of your senses.

“The sixth doorway is the Doorway of Vision. This relates to seeing with the eyes of love and corresponds to the energy center located in the third eye area of our forehead. When this doorway is open, we’re more able to see life through love instead of differences.”

~ Marci Shimoff

The more that you practice these techniques, the more you will begin to ‘see’ a change in your life. Gradually, you will begin to notice a shift in your thinking, acting, and way of being. There are some telltale signs that your pineal gland is healthy as you activate your third eye center.

Signs You are Amplifying Your Third Eye

  • You find deeper meaning in the events that occur in your life
  • You understand that physical reality is a manifestation of duality, and your soul seeks to be liberated from this duality
  • You never feel alone, but instead feel connected to all things, animate and inanimate
  • You feel the vibration and rhythm of everything around you
  • Your senses are heightened (touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight)
  • You begin to see and feel your own energy body and others as well
  • You identify less with your ego sense
  • Negative emotions such as anger, greed, envy, and lust begin to disappear

Remember to enjoy the process and be patient with yourself as you try to incorporate these techniques to amplify the power of your pineal gland. This tiny little gland does a lot more than we give it credit for, so when we start to nurture this aspect of our mind, body and soul connection through regular healthy practices, big changes can happen.
