Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Dear Bonnie, I don't think that there is any one answer for this. It depends on the Person, the intensity of the meditation and many other factors. The pineal gland is associated with the 7th Chakra. It is associated with pure consciousness and infinite love. Some people will not even notice changes and some people will have dramatic changes. You may have read about some saints and sages who have meditated and reached samadhi ( which is a definite sign of the pineal secreting full bore ). Some have related that they went into a trance for 3 days. Whenever you make a step to your higher consciousness, the heavens will respond in like measure. In other words - what you put into it, you will get out of it. Everyone is different. Many meditations are formulated to open up the pituitary gland. The Yogic scriptures say it takes 31 minutes to open up the pituitary gland. The scriptures say it takes 62 minutes to open the pineal. Some saints have theirs open all the time and other people may never have theirs opened. However, it is all a matter of degree. If you meditate for that long, notice what changes happen in the meditation at around 30 minutes and one hour. It is recommended to make a sadhana of a certain practice for at least 40 days to make or break a habit. If you want, make a journal and write down the things you notice during that time and then compare the results at the beginning and the end.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Dear GB: I am confused, I thought the pineal gland was the 6th chakra, being the third eye. Maybe my pineal and hypothalamus are gone, and that's why I can't eat, or have no desire to. When you meditate do you do it with out music? Do you just sit in silence and let come what comes?? Meditation confuses me some what. My mind races to much to ever thing I could go into a trance. I know it's similar to a day dream, where you just stare into space, and some body will finally yell Hellllooooooooooo!!!! Would you have a CD or VHS just for meditation. I know I could go look, I bought so much stuff from you, but I need to help my husband unpack the truck after their camping trip......sigh! Thank you for the info! Namaste' Bonnie - Guru Khalsa <ayurveda> Re: GB/Kundalini Dear Bonnie, I don't think that there is any one answer for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
