This meditation stimulates the brain area beneath the stem of the pineal gland. Imbalances in this area contribute to addictions, neurotic behavior, and other unhealthy behavior patterns. In our modern culture this imbalance is of pandemic proportions. It could be said we are all addicted to something- if it’s not smoking, drinking, drugs or eating, perhaps it’s an addiction to scrolling, attention, acceptance, achievement, shopping, sex, etc. All of which lead to insecure neurotic behavior. This practice helps restore harmony between the pineal and pituitary glands, and is beneficial for everyone, but especially supportive in relieving addictions, mental illness, and phobias.
