Shirodhara: Why pineal gland and mental health are most important in these times :

"The symbol of the All-Seeing-EYE, has always been part of Earth’s creation mythologies and mysteries. "

Cleaning the pineal gland wIth the help of SHIRODHARA

Cleaning up the pineal gland is useful for those wishing to develop their multidimensional perception. The Pineal gland will naturally make its own DMT when fully operational and we will be able to remain in a visionary state most of the time. An awakened pineal gland brings the ability to consciously astral travel, explore other dimensions, foresee the future…
it is said that when the pineal gland or ‘third eye’ is awakened, one is able to see beyond space time into time space. It raises the frequency on which one operates and moves one into a higher consciousness.
When the pineal gland awakens, one feels a pressure at the base of the brain. This pressure will often be experienced, when connecting to higher frequency.

The pineal gland, or third eye, is located in the geometric center of the brain. This correlates to the location of the Great Pyramid in the center of the physical planet.

The pineal gland was called the “third eye” by ancient people. It was thought to have mystical powers. This may be why the French philosopher Descartes decided that the pineal gland was the seat of the human soul, the location of what we call the mind. The pineal does contain a complete map of the visual field of the eyes, and it plays several significant roles in human functioning.

It is the center for the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is implicated in a wide range of human activities. It regulates daily body rhythms, most notably the day/night cycle (circadian rhythms). Melatonin is released in the dark, during sleep.

Why pineal gland and mental health are most important in these times
Clean pineal gland and strong mental health are most important to tell the truth from the lies and take control of your life back to your own hands. While we spend our days being manipulated slaves, science and spirituality are joining up and offering us clues.

Today we can say that many of the secrets are right out in the open and that truth and knowledge can come to those that seek them and are able to recognize them. Though this process is individual there are common things that all of us feel when our dormant knowledge bursts into our consciousness.

The pineal gland has been implicated in a number of disorders including cancer, sexual dysfunction, hypertension, epilepsy, Paget’s disease… The pineal gland calcifies with age and melatonin production correspondingly decreases. This decline in melatonin has been suggested to be a trigger for the aging process.

Environmental stresses affect pineal function, impacting overall body alertness, temperature levels, and hormone operation. Stresses that affect pineal function include unusual light and dark rhythms, radiation, magnetic fields, nutritional imbalances, temperature swings, high altitude, and overall daily stress patterns.
Studies done mostly with birds strongly suggest that the pineal gland is a center for navigation. Scientists believe that the pineal body is a magnetoreceptor, capable of monitoring magnetic fields, and helping to align the body in space. Changing the direction of magnetic fields around the heads of birds alters their ability to orient.

This gland is activated by SHIRODHARA, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland, which directs the body’s thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock, that determines our aging process.

Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important in initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents… has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision.

Shirodhara: Sacred Oil Meditation: For Clearing the chakras

Shirodhara: Sacred Oil Meditation: For Clearing the chakras: Book Your Shirodhara Treatment : Call +919825463394

Ayurveda’s main aim is to enhance and preserve the wisdom of every cell throughout our journey in life. Shirodhara truly honors the body as a sacred temple and a vehicle for the divine spirit within, allowing us to honor our life light.

Shirodhara aims to clear and rebalance the two head chakras - the brow chakra and the crown chakra - and their corresponding physical counterparts, the pituitary and pineal glands. The brow chakra - which is also called the third eye - is situated in the middle of the forehead, slightly above the gap in between the eyebrows. In the Hindu religion, this is the spot where Shiva, the God of destruction and renewal, bears on his forehead a mystical third eye which once opened leads into the inner realms of higher spirituality.

The crown chakra, often described as a lotus flower with a thousand petals, is the seat of the highest divine consciousness. It is situated four finger breadths away from the crown of the head. This is where Shiva as the omniscient master of yoga resides in complete oneness with his soul. It is the place of absolute stillness, where mind, body and spirit unite and enlightenment happens. In Eastern traditions, the mind is likened to a budding flower waiting to open. The warm flow of shirodhara stimulates the crown chakra and gently opens up the thousand petalled lotus nestled into the dark pools of our minds.
Physical realm

On the physical plane, the brow and crown chakras are part of what modern medicine calls the endocrine system, a network of glands, which secrete hormones that regulate the body. The brow chakra is linked to the pituitary gland and the crown chakra corresponds to the pituitary and pineal glands.
The pituitary gland is the size of a small pea nestled in the base of our brain. Often coined as the master gland, the pituitary gland is considered to be the most important component of the endocrine system. It regulates metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, blood pressure and produces endorphins that act as pain relief. Its function can be influenced by our emotions and seasonal changes.

The pineal gland, a small organ the size of a grain of rice cocooned deep inside the brain, secretes two hormones which are vital to our mental health. Melatonin regulates our sleeping patterns and serotonin helps maintain a happy and balanced state of mind.

When you consider that anti-depressant drugs are prescribed to raise the serotonin levels to induce a sense of happiness and wellbeing, it is not difficult to understand why ayurveda considers shirodhara to be the natural answer to depression. During shirodhara, the soft fall of the warm liquid over the forehead massages the pituitary and pineal glands which rebalances the endocrine and nervous systems. It also opens up and cleanses the brow and crown chakras and gently carries you into a high state of meditative contemplation.
Some of the benefits or Shirodhara include: stimulating the endocrine system, activating and balancing the pituitary and pineal glands (for hormonal upsets) -simulating pleasure neurotransmitters (for depression, mood swings, emotional insecurities and addictions of various kinds) -helps many diseases connected with the head, neck, eyes, ears, nose and throat -helps various disease of the nervous system -improves digestion and the health of the skin and hair -rejuvenates face by removing worry lines -clears inertia and negativity, grounding a person and giving positive feelings -brings spiritual awakening and increased intuition.

Shirodhara : Fall Into A Deep Meditation.

Shirodhara : Fall Into A Deep Meditation.

There is a unique therapy in ayurveda called shirodhara
which cannot be found in any other alternative health systems. Once only reserved for Maharajahs, this unique therapy is definitely a royal treatment. Shirodhara involves the gentle pouring of a warm liquid, over the forehead in a set of patterns.

The warm oil feels like the caress of a warm and fragrant breeze that soothes away mental aches and pains. The soft and rhythmic flow makes you drift into a world of peace and tranquillity, akin to a deep meditation. Shirodhara is offered by ayurveda to soothe and rebalance the nervous system of over-stressed, depressed, anxious or mentally tired clients. It eases stress-related diseases and is particularly used to restore blissful sleep and vitality of mind and body. Traditionally in India, shirodhara is used to alleviate conditions such as neurological disorders, memory loss, insomnia and diseases of the senses such as eye disease, sinusitis, tinnitus and vertigo. Liquid therapy When receiving a shirodhara, the client lies down on a massage table face up and the neck of the person is adjusted in a comfortable position. A headband is placed on the brow line to protect the eyes. Warm liquid is poured from a suspended copper or clay vessel in a steady stream from a height and thickness regulated according to the person’s need. The liquid used in this restorative therapy depends on what is being treated; sesame oil is usually used but it could include medicated oils, milk or buttermilk. The treatment lasts between 30 to 60 minutes and can be repeated daily or every few days, depending on the severity of the symptoms, until wellbeing is restored.

Spiritual level Shirodhara is a unique therapy in that it not only works on the physical body but also on the spiritual body, the subtle network of energy centres called chakras and the transient energy channels that connect them. Chakras are wheels of energy that act as gateways between the spiritual and physical realms. They are meeting places of the mind, body and soul and as such correspond in the body to physical organs, nerve centres, glands and plexuses. The seven chakras are situated along the spine starting from its base with the root chakra, moving on to the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat and brow chakras and culminating at the top of the head with the crown chakra. When they become blocked or unbalanced the free flow of prana, the non-physical life energy that is responsible for our ‘aliveness’, is hindered. This, in turn, affects bodily functions and thought processes and may lead to ill health. For instance, negative thoughts, anxiety and fear may develop and lead to depression. Clearing the chakras Shirodhara aims to clear and rebalance the two head chakras - the brow chakra and the crown chakra - and their corresponding physical counterparts, the pituitary and pineal glands.

The brow chakra - which is also called the third eye - is situated in the middle of the forehead, slightly above the gap in between the eyebrows. In the Hindu religion, this is the spot where Shiva, the God of destruction and renewal, bears on his forehead a mystical third eye which once opened leads into the inner realms of higher spirituality.

Shirodhara : An Unique Experience : Personal tale

Shirodhara : An Unique Experience : Personal tale

Shirodhara is what attracted me  a lot during my study in B.A.M.S.  And I was very querulous for my first experience of Sacred Shrodhara. The feeling was  almost indescribable – my mind fell deep in stillness and from its depth rose a peace so profound that all my worries melted  away. 

I had read extensively about yogic meditation and was always in awe of the discipline it took to achieve such calmness of mind. From my experience, shirodhara therapy was like a sacred oil meditation that gave me a glimpse of what it felt like to live in the moment unhindered by thoughts or feelings. I thought I had caught an impression of what it might be like to achieve enlightenment. I was hooked.

Many years have passed since that day and I have given since countless shirodhara therapies and each time I still have that starry eyed amazement when I see the transformation in my clients. Before receiving shirodhara, my clients are typically agitated, stressed, anxious and incapable of sitting still. Sometimes, they are depressed. They are tired and suffering from broken sleep or insomnia. During their first session they usually fall in a deep meditative sleep and wake up feeling like they had a proper night’s sleep, refreshed and calm. And, as other sessions follow, I see the face of my clients changing from tensed, pale and tired to relaxed and gleaming with tranquillity and vitality.

Shirodhara has been traditionally shown to help with fatigue, mental exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, some mental disorders, headache, excessive thinking, nervousness, and many other conditions commonly affecting in today’s modern active lifestyle.Many people experience profound levels of insight and emotional healing after shirodhara. In essence, it calms the body, mind, and spirit.

Shirodhara is an exceptional therapy not to be missed. It is a unique, mind-opening and exquisite relaxation experience that will leave you sparkling with contentment.

Shirodhara Therapy To Treat Infertility:

Shirodhara Therapy To Treat Infertility:

Scientists are recognizing the relationship between what Eastern cultures have referred to as the ‘third eye’, and the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands– situated deep inside the brain. The exact area Ayurveda has always identified as the seat of the third eye, and which is the focal point during Blissful Mind Massage therapy.

The hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands are in charge of the production of most of the hormones in the body—including reproductive hormones. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a very important reproductive hormone secreted from the pituitary gland into the bloodstream. In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg at ovulation. Without FSH ovarian follicles do not grow properly and do not release an egg, thus leading to infertility. In men, FSH is required for proper development of the testes and sperm production. Normal levels of FSH are needed for fertility in both men and women. When FSH is either too high or too low it will greatly lower chances of pregnancy.
Raised levels of FSH are a sign of malfunction in the ovary or testes. In a female it indicates that she is entering menopause, even during fertile years.

Diminished secretion of FSH manifests in males as failure in production of normal numbers of sperm. In females, cessation of reproductive cycles is commonly observed.
Now that we know all this, it is no wonder that Ayurveda treats infertility and so many hormonal imbalances focusing on the head with shirodhara therapy.

Specific medicated oils, or milk products, are used, along with head massage and a rhythmic movement of the liquid over the forehead to bring the mind into a meditative-like state. This process stimulates the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands—third eye— and creates proper communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands to secrete adequate amounts of hormones, including FSH.
Clinical studies are proving that the positive outcomes are indeed linked to the stimulation of the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands, which are responsible for many important functions in the body. These three major glands of the endocrine system are situated in the part of the brain where Eastern traditions have long believed the third eye resides.

The hypothalamus is the link between the endocrine and nervous systems. It helps stimulate or inhibit heart rate and blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, appetite and body weight, production of substances that influence the pituitary gland to release hormones and sleep cycles, among others. The pituitary gland secretes hormones that help control body processes such as growth, blood pressure, aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, breast milk production, sex organ functions, thyroid gland function, the conversion of food into energy (metabolism), water balance, temperature regulation and pain relief. And the pineal gland secretes the hormone melatonin, which has two primary functions—to help control biological rhythm and regulate certain reproductive hormones. Aiding in the proper development and functioning of the ovaries and testes.

It is important to be able to explain the scientific meaning behind this healing Ayurvedic therapy powerhouse.
