The pineal gland is often mistaken as the "third eye" chakra when, in truth, its energy and purpose are far more aligned with the crown chakra. Let’s explore why this is important.

The pineal gland functions like an antenna, receiving and transmitting information from higher realms of consciousness. While it’s true that the third eye chakra is associated with insight and vision beyond the physical, this perspective is made possible through the thalamus, which essentially acts as a gateway for your mind’s eye.

In fact, many people already have their third eye "open" to varying degrees, meaning they have an active inner vision noted with success during visualization practices. But as the crown chakra awakens, the pineal gland begins receiving even more refined, complex information, often beyond what we can consciously process right away.

This awakening process at the crown chakra acts like a floodgate, inviting in higher frequencies and awakening our ability to decode, understand, and perceive new realities. So, even if you have trouble visualizing with your mind's eye, seeing beyond the 3D capabilities of the thalamus is very possible.

So, while it’s tempting to label the pineal as the third eye’s anatomical counterpart, its true resonance is with the crown. As your crown opens, so does the pineal’s capacity to receive a continuous stream of higher information, enhancing both your connection to universal consciousness and the depths of your insight.

In other words, the pineal gland serves as a bridge — not solely for inner vision, but for divine connection. Some cultures even believe that is where the soul resides.

This is why the head starts to glow after a certain threshold of enlightenment. The crown chakra is located inside your head and the vibrations from the microcrystals within the pineal gland send out a frequency that can be seen. It appears like a cloud of energy.

I look forward to discussing each of the main and secondary chakras thoroughly.
