In the 1600s, renowned philosopher René Descartes referred to the pineal gland as 'the principal seat of the soul.' That sentiment is very much alive today; research has proven the pineal gland to be crucial for spiritual health.
Unfortunately, there are many toxins in our modern environment that reduce the gland's efficiency. One major threat comes from fluoride – a compound found at alarming levels in everyday items like water and toothpaste.
Fluoride exposure leads to what's known as pineal gland calcification. When the gland is calcified, fluoride (or other toxins, like heavy metals) has accumulated and crystallized on it.
Before we get into how you can reverse this, let's explore the spiritual – and physical – health benefits of a properly-functioning pineal gland.
Your circadian rhythm is what helps you wake up and sleep at roughly the same time on a daily basis. This rhythm only works when your pineal gland is secreting melatonin properly. Calcification prevents this by blocking your gland's pinealocytes – the cells responsible for melatonin secretion.
There's a reason your pineal gland is nicknamed 'the third eye.' As we discuss in this article, it actually began evolving as a literal third eye that was supposed develop on your forehead.
Evolution – ever the forward thinker – realized our two existing eyes can handle the whole 'sight' thing just fine. So, the pineal gland or 'third eye' became, among many things, a light and energy receptor.
Melatonin plays a role in this by keeping you relaxed. Your pineal gland additionally synthesizes another chemical called DMT – also known as 'the spirit molecule.' This helps you dream and have out of body experiences.
These things considered, it's not hard to see why maintaining a properly-functioning pineal gland is key to staying spiritually awakened.
Ayahuasca is a tea made from either chacruna or chagropanga. Both plants contain high amounts of the 'spirit molecule' DMT.
This tea essentially gives your brain a DMT 'boost' that will get it functioning and clearing through any existing toxic calcification. Once this happens, you can stop using Ayahuasca and switch into pineal maintenance mode by avoiding things like tap water, pesticides and excess sugar.

Place two fingers together and press them against your third eye. Hold your fingers there for two minutes while you breathe deeply. Do this regularly and you'll begin to see the world through much more relaxed, accepting eyes. That's how you'll know you've decalcified your pineal gland.
Key Pineal Gland Functions
The gland's benefits primarily come from melatonin – a hormone it secretes. Although many parts of your body produce melatonin, it primarily comes from your pineal gland. Melatonin performs the following tasks.#1 – Circadian Rhythm Maintenance
Your circadian rhythm is what helps you wake up and sleep at roughly the same time on a daily basis. This rhythm only works when your pineal gland is secreting melatonin properly. Calcification prevents this by blocking your gland's pinealocytes – the cells responsible for melatonin secretion.
#2 – Temperature Regulation
A number of studies have shown that melatonin from your pineal gland plays a key role in regulating your body's temperature. According to one paper from the Journal of Pineal Research, this effect is actually at the root of the gland's spiritual and hypnotic functions. Because of its potential for hypnosis, melatonin supplements actually require a prescription in some countries.#3 – Increased Energy Awareness

Meditation can help you open up your entire chakra system – including your all-important third eye. Here's a simple meditation to decalcify your pineal gland:- Sit in a comfortable, relaxed position.
- Breathe in deeply and notice the fullness of your lungs for as long as you can hold your breath.
- Relax your mind and focus on the sensations in your third eye (the space on your forehead that lies in between your eyes).
- Exhale while you continue to focus on your third eye.
- Repeat this, aiming to increase your awareness as you do. Pay attention to the many sounds and sensations around you.
- After a few cycles of this, let yourself return to the present moment. Repeat this daily and, with time, your pineal gland's function will improve.
