Awakening the Pineal Gland: Cellular Rejuvenation Through Light and Sound
Roberto Pinelli, MD
The pineal gland, a part of the endocrine system, is less than a centimeter long. Yet this tiny organ in the brain plays an outsized role in many spiritual traditions as it is widely connected with the esoteric concept of the third eye. Ophthalmologist Roberto Pinelli explains his unique methods for using a combination of light, sound, and nutraceuticals to non-invasively activate the pineal gland. He explores Egyptian, Sumerian, and Aztec understandings of the sun and its life-giving rays, looking at how ancient knowledge has been corroborated by contemporary scientific findings and offers us a pracctical way to get in touch with our higher self.
