The Benefits of Pineal Gland Activation
Nestled deep inside the middle of your brain rests the pineal gland. Descartes believed it to be the seat of the soul and scientists have found that it produces melatonin, which affects sleep patterns. In the metaphysical community, it is believed that the pineal gland in most people today is not activated or stimulated, due to too much electronic stimulation and fluoride in tap water and toothpaste. However, pineal gland activation is possible if you know how. But why should we care about pineal gland activation? What are the benefits of pineal gland activation?
There are seven Chakras in our bodies and the pineal gland is the 6th one. All of the chakras should be balanced for the optimal performance of the body and the mind. Pineal gland activation will help the 6th Chakra reach its potential, which includes clairvoyance, psychic abilities, imagination, and dreaming.
Pineal gland activation will awaken our minds ability for prophecy. A person who has achieved pineal gland activation will experience increased psychic awareness and psychic talents. Some people believe that supernatural powers will be initiated with pineal gland activation.
Besides increased psychic awareness, pineal gland activation will help the pineal gland, or the third eye, to act as a stargate that can see beyond space and time. It also acts as a link between the physical world and the spiritual world.
That’s not all. Other benefits of pineal gland activation include telepathy and a greater level of perceptiveness that can go beyond this three dimensional world. There are three crystals in the pineal gland which help with this ability of visionary capacity. The three crystals are apatitie, calcite, and magnetite. Apatitie helps with inspiration, spiritual oneness, and psychic enhancement, while calcite is for the expansion of one’s powers. Magnetite aids with mediation, visionary purpose, and establishing our experiences in the physical world. Together, all these three crystals create a cosmic antennae, which aids the transfer of signals between the different dimensional planes.
All these benefits have caused some people to believe that the most famous prophets of our history all have undergone pineal gland activation.
If all these benefits sound like something you want to experience, the next step is to learn how to achieve pineal gland activation. The most important step in activating the pineal gland is to raise the frequency in the body. This can be done through meditation, visualization yoga, chanting, dancing, drum sounds, Tai Chi postures, Qigong positions, and using stereo grams. Any of these methods will open the third eye (the pineal gland) and help you to be able to see beyond the physical world. This process takes practice – with practice, you will be able to do this faster and more often.
Producing certain sounds can activate your pineal gland. One method is to make the sound’nnnn’ while covering your ears. Then sound ‘mmm’ for a few minutes, and then say ‘ngngng’ for the same amount of time. These sounds will put a light pressure on the pineal gland, which stimulates it and activates it.
Light is one of the stimulators for the pineal gland. You can do a mediation that includes a beam of light. One method is to close your eyes and focus all of your thoughts on the pineal gland (remember, it is in the middle of your brain). Send beams of light to the following locations, all in this order: your front side, the back of your head, to the left of you, to the right of you, straight up, and straight down. Breathe in deeply thought your nose, and then exhale through your mouth. Repeat all the steps several times before relaxing and opening your eyes.

Everyone can and will become a Buddha. Also in many religious, that the god is found within us. As we do more meditation, chanting, dancing, drum sounds, especially do it with a group of people, the high vibrations do connect us to Source, the Universe, or the Divine. It is the oneness, you feel love and eternity from the higher power.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing how to experience these by producing certain sounds, I haven’t learn some of these method before. Meditation is really good, people should do it often so they can see their light, to know they are not their ego. They can achieve a meaningful life.
Interesting article…. I did know not much about pineal gland till I read this article. So the pineal gland is sensitive, to the bioelectrical signals of light and dark in its environment and meditation can help to activate and expanding human consciousness as well. There are ways such as through visualization yoga, chanting, dancing and so forth could open the pineal gland or the third eye with practice and proper guidance. To me there is always pro and con with the activation of our pineal glands. Let nature takes the role.
I believed meditation could help, not only balancing our mind, emotion and our energy (chi) as well. I agreed in the article saying that, raising frequency of our body will activate the pineal gland. Therefore, why need to use drugs to create hallucination or clairvoyance since engaging with healthy activities will give similar results.
Lots of people may like to have clairvoyance, psychic abilities and third eye. To me, it is risky practice all this without proper guidance. It is very scary when you have third eye but you are seeing all the spirits and ghosts. Unless the person has a good motivation to benefit others, otherwise I believe to achieve whatever mentioned in this article may bring suffering to you ownself. Thank you for sharing this article.
Interesting article. Says a lot about the type of practice where high Lamas engage in and their senses get to the level where they can improve the capability of their mind in this case, predict the future clearly and also perform psychic battles
This is a very interesting article. I read about some article and some forum from the Internet about opening the “third eye” before. Some people who are interested in this, and they actually go search for “short cut” to do this. They consumed some powder which is processed from a kind of tree hormone extraction, and that caused them to have helucination. Some people commented that they have clayvoyance, some said that they saw dead people, some people couldn’t take it, and they committed suicide. I don’t think “short cut” is a good way to activate the pineal gland. The nest way is through practice, with a guidance of a Guru. Without guidance, we can’t simply achieve the higher state of consciousness. And, definitely, we don’t simply “play” with this.
This is a very interesting topic. I read somewhere online that when you activate the third-eye, there will be some positive and negative reactions on your body which I’m not sure whether it is a good sign or not. On another hand we will encounter greater states of mindfulness, enabling us to visualize a better life and take focused action to help us live up to our potential. We’ll become very intuitive, possess a good memory, and we’ll have the ability to understand without any problem.
I did some reading from other sites and found this “pineal gland activation shouldn’t be taken lightly. Researcher David Wilcock explains that if the pineal gland gets “stuck on” it can cause schizophrenia, delusions, and waking hallucinations.”
I believe that a lot of us will feel excited and motivated to try methods to activate the gland but we must always do more research and not follow blindly. We must be mentally prepared before doing something we are not familiar with. I think one of the best way to start is doing light meditation.

can you tell me the ill effects if any on fiber optics like WiFi on the pineal gland please?
Thanks Rinpoche for sharing this.
This is the first time I read about Pineal Gland to find out that we have so much potential. All these has found out by Buddha more than 2,500 years ago, which through meditation in certain ways we can attain more than a normal human’s ability.
Interesting! I didnt know of pineal gland activation until I read this post. But it is really interesting to know how it can be stimulated and the benefits behind it. I tried watching the vide but I got dizzy not so long after I played it. There are just so many things I have not seen nor heard of yet and it is always an eye opener to read posts like this on this blog. And today I learnt a new thing.. Thank you Rinpoche!
To those who think that Rinpoche is talking about a Buddhist practice here, he is not. It is just an article which is interesting to Rinpoche that Rinpoche wishes to share with all of us “as it might benefit people.” However, there is a possible link to Buddhist meditation as follows:
Using sound to activate a response from our physical body is a common technique for meditators and the purpose of reciting mantras is because those particular sounds, which are the energy of the Buddha in the form of sound, have a positive effect on our body.
Visualising light entering our bodies is also part of our daily meditations and the sound of mantras combined with correct visualisation will definitely be beneficial for us and the taming of our minds.
Whether the pineal gland really plays a role in spiritual development can not be proven for now but the effects can be observed.
I am interested to know more about your teaching, but I am residing in Singapore.I am very much impressed by your great works and testimonial.
This information seems be quite new age but the appearances and capabilities of seeing spirits and another dimensional beings certainly is quite a common knowledge among people who do believe in other sentient beings or live forms which cannot perceive with our naked human eye.
With advances in modern medical equipment certain parts of human internal anatomy can be scan and observe for changes. It was not possible in the past not to mention during the time Buddha was living. It was not feasible to scrutinized a living human’s internal especially the brain which is protected by brain skull.
However whether we use our new found ability is another story as some would think that is a privilege and unique to a group of selected few, not thinking that how we can use it for the benefit of others.
This is something new to me and from what I read about the sixth chakra, it is located between and just above the eyes. It is also known as the perception center. The organ/parts of body associated with the sixth chakra are the pituitary gland, eyes, head and lower brain.
Since the most significant aspect of consciousness at the level of the 6th chakra is the development of psychic abilities, the more clarity we have within ourselves, the better we are able to see the subtle properties of the world around us. So this practice on sound and light to activate our pineal gland is interesting and beneficial
but may take time cultivate. I hope to start and try this out.
Thank you, Rinpoche, for sharing this interesting article.
Very interesting article, the activation of Pineal Gland can open up our 6th sense, a very new topic to me but since my young age, I always heard of how much we used our brain and how much is still in sleeping mode.
Well, I guess this is something really fit into what we have been told, but the difference is we didn’t know the path to the activation of the Pineal Gland. Through meditation, chanting, visualization yoga, etc, etc that is all teaching in Buddhism.. hmm, how this related to Buddhism.
I think gaining certain level of realization could be also connected to this Pineal Gland. How wonderful with the teachings of Buddha and the findings from the scientists today..
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing, with us,this article on the benefits and power of the Pineal gland.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article.
Thank you Rinpoche for the very interesting article on The Benefits of Pineal Gland Activation.
This is what i have read up on Chakras and it is another subject that i am very fascinated with.
There is this vital energy ( Prana in Sanskrit) throughout a man’s subtle energy system . It is also known as the ‘absolute energy’. Every living being depends on the frequencies of Prana it is capable of absorbing and storing.
The Chakras act as receivers, transformers and distributors of the various forms of Prana. Traditional writings mention 88,000 chakras in a human body, approx 40 are considered significant but 7 are the most important.
Each of these 7 chakras ‘governs’ different parts of the human physical. mental, emotional and ethereal body .
The Pineal Gland chakra is also known as the 6th chakra or ‘The Third Eye’ chakra , which ‘governs’ the following :
Physical body -face, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, cerebellum, central nervous system
Mental- Intellectual cognition, rational thought
Emotional -harmony with oneself and with surroundings
Ethereal – realization of inner correlations,imagination, intuition, divinely inspired thoughts, access to inner truths through devotion.
When the third eye chakra is activated , balanced or opened , we have intuition, clairvoyance, hypersensitive hearing or feeling (things that we had only vaguely suspected before are now perceived clearly),an active mind , advanced intellectual skills,clear extrasensory perceptions, a holistic way of seeing things.
When the third eye chakra is blocked, we only see and accept that of the material world, we are dominated by material desires , physical needs and unreflected emotions. We reject spiritual truths,we become forgetful,suffer with impaired vision and/or hearing,our minds are muddled and confused and our lives are just determined by unresolved emotional patterns.
We are most fortunate that Rinpoche had included the video so we can activate our 3rd eye chakra by watching the video to stimulate our Pineal Gland, by the music of the video and also going into a light meditation while watching and listening to the video.
Thank you once again Rinpoche for sharing with us this fascinating article.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.This is a very interesting article.I would certainly put it in to practice soon . Knowing is not sufficient but through diligence result will surface faster as we would stimulate that gland more often.My late father practice a form of meditation which focuses on the different resonance which was generated by each of the chakra , they term it as sound of bells ..As he would cover his ear and focus inwards.
Attainment of extra ordinary power would be nice but we should not loose focus on our objective which is bodhicitta instead of attachment to seeking this powers .
Zla’od is correct: this is not a Buddhist teaching, but a Theosophic or New Age one. But that’s OK! It’s OK, that is, if you just believe hard enough. Believe harder! Also relevant: have you seen the film Zoolander, starring Ben Stiller? It’s about a FABULOUS male model and his activities with the Malaysian Prime Minister. I think many of you can relate to this profound piece of cinema. OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUM
This is an amazing article and confirms that we are already in possession of the very things we need to realize and experience a higher consciousness beyond our normal state. The idea that the gateway to other dimensions, to an inner seeing, knowing and understanding is within ourselves is both exciting and surreal at the same time. I guess that is why so many spiritual paths train the practitioners to focus inwards rather than outwards for answers and it also explains why sounds, rhythm and visualizations are so important in certain practices.
Some people might find all this to be superstitions and paranormal stuff but it makes a lot of sense because if reincarnation and past lives exist as we know they do, then where is past information, knowledge and past experiences stored? If indeed they are stored somewhere within our physical or metaphysical being, then there must ge a gateway to that space. Uncanny how the Buddha realized all this and I am now realizing how shallow and basic our understanding of ourself is.
Thanks for sharing with us Rinpoche !
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. This subject is new to me, didn’t know the pineal gland is corresponding to the 6th chakra. It seems to be very intriguing to have the 3rd eye opened and be able to see many that we are not able to see now. But I am not sure if I would be ready to handle that.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing, with us,this article on the benefits and power of the Pineal gland, which is located in the center of our brains.
The pineal gland, if activated , works like the Third Eye when opened. How marvellous to know we all have this potential in us. It’s like the discovery that there is a Buddha potential in everyone of us, when I first studied the Dharma. And I believe the two are linked. If , with the cultivation of Bodhicitta and selflessness,we then awaken the potential of this gland, via meditation , vizualization and chanting of mantras, and invoke the blessings and protection of the Three Jewels, we will probably be able to realize our Buddha potential.
Such a wonderful thought!However, there’s a long road of practice ahead of us, unless, we have merits enough and have created sufficient causes to walk the swift path.
This is a great article. All living deities have a pineal gland activated, represented by their third eye on the images. I know of a great mantra from Tamil Nadu which activates the gland and opens the third eye. It is , Arul Perum Jyoti Arul Perum Jyoti, Tani Perum Karunae , Arul Perum Jyoti. You can do it while you concentrated on a candle , hopefully a non toxic one.
This is New Age woo, except for the part about melatonin. Doesn’t Buddhism have enough superstitions of its own, without importing more of them from Western New Agers?
The idea that the pineal gland is the “seat of the soul” comes from ancient Greek medicine. (Other authorities pointed to the heart instead.) The idea that there are seven chakras is from Theosophical writer C.W. Leadbeater, and several later figures (including H. Spencer Lewis of AMORC, Manly Palmer Hall, and Edgar Cayce) connected them with the seven ductless glands. Pseudo-scientific discussion of “frequency” could only have arisen after the 19th century.
So why believe this article? It is, after all, just one more set of metaphysical claims among many others, none of them with scientific backing. What if some other visionary writes another article saying that no, it is the prostate gland which is the “seat of the soul” (so to speak), and we can get enlightened by massaging it? Without insisting on good reasons for believing things, how will you ever decide between them. For that matter, Buddhism is often said to reject belief in a soul.
The Soul can exist if you believe it does. But it is impermanent. Like all forms. All Buddhist deities have a third eye. Maybe some people will get inspired to practice more. The new age movement has issues for sure, but so does Buddhism.
PS. Buddha was a Sadhu ( Nath Baba ) who activated his seven chakras which is the ancient yogic system from India. Tibetan Buddhism also uses chakras, but a different system due to the bon influence of the elemental powers .
There’s always a fine line between healthy skeptism and just being cynical about everything. The Buddha encourages us to investigate before accepting but not being cynical about everything. Chakras did not come from the west, that theology was used by the Indians and Chinese for many centuries, even millenia. Accupunture and yoga are two activities that utilizes the chakra system. That didint come from western theology. The pineal gland is interesting because its description is the same as what is described as the third eye by eastern cultures for many centuries, the ability to perceive ghosts and astral travel etc. The point is, being cynical about everything before exhaustive research is made wasnt what the Buddha taught.
The concept of chakras is older and Indic, as you said, but the idea that there are exactly seven of them (in the familiar arrangement) is from Leadbeater. Indigenous Chinese models of esoteric human anatomy are very different, and there is diversity within Indic systems as well. Seven is the number of the classical planets, and there are medieval European illustrations showing images of the planets within the human body (based on the Hermetic principle “as above, so below.”
Many years ago, when I first encountered the idea of chakras, I was excited, and wondered if this might hold the key to solving the mind-body problem (for instance). But the more questions I asked, the less sense it made. For instance, what are chakras made of? Some sort of spiritual subtance, presumably, but what is that? (Talk of “frequency” and “vibrations” does little to resolve the issue.) And how do we be sure that they even exist? Eventually I began to ask where the idea came from, an approach which led me to study the history of modern Western esotericism.
I am glad that you plan to do “exhaustive research” on the subject, and not just believe everything you read on the internet (whether by me or anybody else). A less advanced soul might have responded with cynicism towards me!
Chakras are not made of spiritual substance but rather, they are the arrangement of nerves and blood vessels found throughout the body. Some people believe that it is actually the lymphatic system in the body because the description of the channels and chakras match the placement of the lymphatic glands and system in our body and the Qi energy could very well be the reverse current generated by blood (remember that science says blood is iron?) flow in our body which affects our organs. Certain things are interesting when you actually do a comparison.
In that case, why not simply speak of blood vessels or nerves? Why bring in (Indic) chakras, (Chinese) qi, or (Western) souls at all? I am not aware that mainstream science or medicine has found these concepts useful. In this light, talk of chakras, etc. really amounts to just another religious belief, no better than anybody else’s.
By the way, one of the inspirations for the rise of ancient Indian materialistic philosophy was the realization, by ancient Indian doctors, that classical descriptions of the chakras don’t match what is actually inside the body!
because people in ancient times do not have MRI and that they do not have advanced knowledge of the human body as we do now, but they do it based on observing their own bodies and their energy flow. they probably are not aware of the lymphatic system or blood vessels during that time, so you’ll have to look at descriptions and compare them.
Sound has the power to open the chakras. This is not a matter of believing or not believing. I did not believe it, I practised it; it worked. I proved it scientifically for myself.
A very powerful ancient egyptian mantra, Egypto or pronounced Eeeeeegiiiiiiiiiptoooooooo (practised for several days, at least half an hour a day) can have extraordinary effects on the pineal gland. The same is true for the mantra INRI (mentioned above the cross of Yeshua ben Pandira).
Ya’ll can meditate to open your third eye, but smart people just stop brushing their teeth. lol!
Interesting… Like the sounds and colours being shown in the video. It makes more sense now why when we mediatate we’ve been taught by Rinpoche to visualise where the light would enter us and where we should be focusing on which sort of matches this information.
However in Buddhist meditation, we also visualise the light coming down to our heart chakra and then slowly flow down all over our body and it envelopes us like a protection shield, likened to an egg shape. The only logical point of view I can think of is that the heart activates our compassion nature… not sure if this is correct? And the egg like shield is to protect us as a whole so no negative energy can penetrate in while we’re meditating and going off on our busy day.
I was also thinking, well if we can chant or make the sounds of sound’nnnn’ while covering your ears, then sound ‘mmm’ for a few minutes, and then say ‘ngngng’ is required to activate our pineal gland, then wouldn’t it be much better to chant the seed syllable of Manjushri – DHI DHI DHI… x 108 times?
Interesting that science are only beginning to discover and recognised what was probably taught and known by Buddha some 2500 years ago which not only activates the 3rd eyes and psyche, but also our compassionate nature.
Before joining Dharma, I had heard of some new age therapists who work with the sound energies and who talked about how the sounds around us can affect our own energy levels, sleep, rest, and emotions. She explained that one of the defining factors for feeling so exhausted after flying (even if we sleep throughout the flight) is that the underlying noise of a plane becomes very draining on our energy levels. So sound energies definitely do have a very significant impact on our wellbeing.
I’m sure you might also have heard of parents playing mozart’s music to their children, after scientific studies proved that an early exposure to such music (particularly Mozart!) would heighten a child’s intelligence and learning abilities. Really quite fascinating.
And since it’s a Friday evening, and we’re starting to flag a little, I’m off to listen to some pineal gland enhancing music now. Time for dreaming and grand, liberating imaginations! Ommmmm!
This is most fascinating! I love this explanation here and I think that the sounds meant to stimulate the pineal gland is most similar to the way Buddhist traditionally chant their mantras. The hypnotic sound of the Buddhist chant is probably meant to stimulate this chakra as well which I guess is in order to plant blessings into the deepest core of our being.
I am not much of a meditational master but with the little practice I do that was taught by Tsem Rinpoche, I can say that it has far-reaching benefits. An example of one meditational practice that stimulates using the sound of Manjushri’s mantra – Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi. The last syllable is recited 108 times in a single breath to stimulate Manjushri’s wisdom within us. That’s just fantastic.
Hmm, I hav heard of this before but always had the fear of no being able to face the ‘beyond’. But I guess one will need to overcome all fears to be able to really help. Thanks for your sharing, Rinpoche.
