Qi Gong Practices for Activating the Pineal Gland and Harmonizing the Crystal Pa
lace
Many Chi Kung (also known as Qi Gong) practices contain simple elements like bre
athing or tapping that can be used to activate the bones and glands of the Cryst
al Palace.
1. Breathing
Various breath practices move the pumps, activating the pineal and pituitary gla
nds 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 dire
ctly 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 pitui
tary gland that rests in the sella turcica. The vibration of the pituitary awaken
s the hypothalamus through the pituitary stalk.
3. Toning
Toning or chanting sends vibrations into the Crystal
al and other glands and energizing the CSF. Chanting
ua to draw in elemental energies is an exceptionally
ating the Crystal Palace. See Cosmic Fusion (Destiny
nstructions 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 th
e pituitary. Sucking in our cheeks moves the jaw, which stimulates the neck and
cranial pumps. Contracting the anal sphincter and perineum sends vibrations to t
he 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 intracra
nial membrane system transfers the vibration to the center of the head, activati
ng the pineal and pituitary glands.
6. Spiraling
Spiraling movements such as spinning the pakua, the Tai Chi symbol, or our Danti
ans creates an electromagnetic field that energizes the CSF and enhances the pow
er of the heart field, thereby activating the pineal gland and other glands of t
he 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 whi
le also increasing the vibration of the organs. Laughing and smiling reduce stre
ss and relax the body, which increases the flow of chi. Laughter also triggers t
d sitting.
U Spinal Cord Breathing
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2. Relax, and begin to notice how you feel.
3. Begin natural breathing.
4. On your next inhalation, keeping your elbows bent and your fingers toward the
sky, bring your arms level with your shoulders and pulled slightly back. Gently
tilt your sacrum backward, arching your spine. Open your chest and allow the ri
b cage to expand, activating the thymus and adrenal glands. Allow your head to d
rop backward and allow your jaw to soften.
5. As you exhale, tilt your sacrum forward, tucking your tailbone and rounding y
our spine as if curling into a ball. Bring your elbows together in front of your
chest, and let your chin drop toward your chest as you lightly clench your teet
h.
6. Repeat 9 or 18 times, then return your head and spine to neutral and rest.

Pineal secreted METAtonin allows us to experience an enhanced dimension of human
consciousness. The first dimension of consciousness, pure unfettered self cons
ciousness, was experienced in the womb from about the 49th day of gestation unti
l birth. Upon birth our self-consciousness is suddenly thrown into the physica
l world of the additional dimensions of space and time. In this new dimension o
f consciousness one is gifted with its new toolbox of the 5 physical senses, the
flow of time and the awareness of being a separate body. As we grow we become a
ccustomed to the parameters of this body and also develop the instinctive bodygu
ard awareness of the ego. By the time we are 7 years old our self-ego-body ident
ity consciousness is well formed and it becomes our basic mode of existence and
binding force of our human physical existence until we die and again return to t
he unfettered state of consciousness or Consciousness Beyond Life, that is, beyo
nd human life.
However there is an additional dimension of human consciousness that c
an be experienced during a lifetime, when, under the influence of METAtonin, the
brain circuitry is so modified that self consciousness is able to separate from
ego/body consciousness, and travel in the many levels of consciousness that exi
st in parallel to the physical world including the world of dreams, archetypes,
psychological imagery, spiritual realities and parallel planes of consciousness.
The pathway to this enhanced level of consciousness is available to all humans
; it is hard-wired into our brain architecture, like a homing circuit, although
it is rarely activated. Those of us who pursue creative/spiritual lifestyles usu
ally learn to temporarily access or at least get a glimpse of these alternate pe
rspectives; this being one of the main sources of inner inspiration, creation an
d illumination. This dimension of illumination is accessed by special stimulati
on of the pineal gland which then formulates the secretion, METAtonin, whose mai
n active ingredient, DMT allows one to enter this additional dimension of human
consciousness or OBC, Out-of-Body Consciousness. An event of this nature rarely
occurs in the course of a lifetime - maybe only once, but when it does, it is n
ot forgotten and in many cases it results in the development of a whole new pers
pective on life.
Serotonin is an extremely versatile neurohormone that regulates digestio
n, growth, reproduction, aging, bone metabolism, cardiovascular function and in
the brain it modulates learning, memory and psychological well-being and is ther
efore the target of many anti-depressant drugs. Serotonin is principally produce
d by liver and intestines and is delivered throughout the body via the cardiovas
cular system. The pineal gland also produces serotonin and contains the most ser
otonin rich-tissue in the human body. The serotonin in the pineal gland is store
d, being kept in reserve mainly for the production of the pineal hormones melato
nin and METAtonin.
The Grip of the Ego
Our body creates a very strong bond with our self-consciousness through
the development of the ego, which is absolutely essential for physical survival
. As we mature, particularly in egocentric Western society, the ego and consciou
sness become inseparable; to attempt a separation of the two is not an easily ac
complished task. Our ego does its best to discourage any such separation, and it
will usually musters up its full arsenal of fearful emotions at the onset of su
ch a separation in order to retain the bond between self consciousness and the p
hysical host. The main function of the ego is, after all, is to protect and enco
urage the integrity of body-centered consciousness and body survival. The vanity
fair ego doesn't want consciousness to wander off from its appointed task. In a
sense, the ego guards the gates to the entrance of the portal, and it can do a
very effective job.
The pineal gland begins to function in the developing human fetus around
the 49th day after conception, and at first it is located in the back of the th
roat and then gradually moves upward and inward during gestation to be finally l
ocated in the center of the brain. This progression results in the creation a sm
all duct known as the crainalpharyngeal canal connecting the back of the throat
to the pituitary/hypothalmus/pineal complex. This duct is usually sealed by bone
tissue in early childhood, though in some cases it may persist into adulthood.
This may explain the acrid slightly metallic taste in the back of the throat tha
t is sometimes associated with a hormone release from the central brain. This "n
ectar" most likely originates from the pituitary gland but may also involve a co
llaboration with the pineal gland. Certain oriental texts refer to this secretio
n as the "nectar of sublime awareness" or amrita that is produced by deep medita
tion focused on the highest chakra: the pineal gland, or third eye,
