Discussion: Pineal Gland and how to exercise and nurture it to support one's development of awareness/consciousness/wisdom and how it is a place for your higher self or soul to reside.

A suggestion to exercise the pineal gland from my studies with Garrett Walters (see resources page).

Sit in a comfortable chair that allows your spine and back to be straight. Place your feet flat on the floor imagine a grounding cord from your second chakra, your lower DanTian reaching to the center of the earth.

The more grounded you are to this 3rd dimension, this Earth space, the more your higher self, awareness, consciousness will come home into your body.

Next, bring your attention to the center of your head. Moving directly behind your eyes and in from your ears, locating the pineal gland. Place your focus inside the pineal gland. Create a room there, a safe place for you to go and just be still without thought. A safe house where you can observe the outer world, observe your life within that world. Decorate this room with your favorite chair to sit in, curtains around the windows, a fireplace or a carpet under your feet.

​Practice keeping your focus here throughout your meditation and into your daily routine. Allow this space within your pineal gland to become the balcony from which you observe the daily happenings of your life from or make it the captain's chair on the bridge of the USS Enterprise where you make all of your important decisions from within your higher self's consciousness.
