How to massage the 'third eye' and its benefits

Ancient traditions often hold the secrets to our most modern problems. When the Third Eye (the point between the eyebrows) is awakened, for example, you can solve the issue of distraction and procrastination. Stimulating the Third Eye is also known to increase concentration, eliminate creativity blocks, and sharpen intuition. Moreover, it is known to relieve headaches and decongestion.
The Third Eye is associated with yogic philosophy, and according to Gaia, is connected to the pineal gland. "[The] principal seat of the soul," as the pineal gland was described by 16th century philosopher René Descartes, is the place where melatonin is produced. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates a person's wake and sleep cycles, and is linked to stress, mood, and energy levels, according to Global Healing Center.

Get the healing benefits of a Third Eye massage by using your thumbs, index, or middle fingers to apply pressure to the point between the eyebrows. Bring your fingers close together and then move them apart in a sweeping motion. Experiment with different levels of pressure until you find the sweet spot where your body is telling you "yes, this feels good." Acuthink recommends massaging until you feel relief from stress, headache, exhaustion, or whatever else may ail you.
To open the Third Eye and activate the pineal gland of a friend or partner, follow the below demonstration by Massage Nerd.

Qi Gong Practices for Activating the Pineal Gland and Harmonizing the Crystal Palace

Many Chi Kung (also known as Qi Gong) practices contain simple elements like breathing or tapping that can be used to activate the bones and glands of the Crystal Palace.

1. Breathing

Various breath practices move the pumps, activating the pineal and pituitary glands as well as stimulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Breathing is said to ionize the CSF and therefore increase its potency.

2. Tapping

Gently tapping your forehead in between your eyebrows activates the pineal gland and all three structures of the Crystal Palace. The vibration sends a wave directly back to the pineal gland, activating it in the process. The same vibration also moves through the bones to the sphenoid, which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland that rests in the sella ­turcica. The vibration of the pituitary awakens the hypothalamus through the pituitary stalk.

3. Toning

Toning or chanting sends vibrations into the Crystal Palace, activating the pineal and other glands and energizing the CSF. Chanting the eight forces of the pakua to draw in elemental energies is an exceptionally powerful exercise for activating the Crystal Palace. See Cosmic Fusion (Destiny Books, 2007) for complete instructions on chanting the eight forces.

4. Pressing

Pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth activates the pituitary gland and, through its physical and chemical connections, activated the pineal gland and hypothalamus as well.

5. Squeezing

When we squeeze our eyes, the muscular connection with the sphenoid activates the pituitary. Sucking in our cheeks moves the jaw, which stimulates the neck and cranial pumps. Contracting the anal sphincter and perineum sends vibrations to the muscles that envelop the anus and form the pelvic floor. From the pelvis, the vibration then travels up the spine and dural tube to the occiput. The intracranial membrane system transfers the vibration to the center of the head, activating the pineal and pituitary glands.

6. Spiraling

Spiraling movements such as spinning the pakua, the Tai Chi symbol, or our Dantians creates an electromagnetic field that energizes the CSF and enhances the power of the heart field, thereby activating the pineal gland and other glands of the Crystal Palace.

7. Being in Darkness

Darkness triggers increased production and release of melatonin, and eventually of pinoline and DMT as a result of its effect of activating the pineal gland and helping to stimulate function of and open the third eye.

8. Laughing and Smiling

Smiling opens both the heart and the crown, allowing more light to penetrate while also increasing the vibration of the organs. Laughing and smiling reduce stress and relax the body, which increases the flow of chi. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, promoting feelings of well-being. Relaxation increases blood flow, which amplifies the effects of the hormones released in the Crystal Palace and has an effect of pineal gland activation.

9. Focusing

Since energy flows where our attention goes, bringing our attention to the structures of the Crystal Palace will activate them
