Melatonin is manufactured by the Pineal Gland through an activated chemical messenger called Serotonin, a product of the Pituitary Gland. This transmits nerve impulses across chromosome pairs at a moment (called meiosis) when the cell nuclei are divided and the chromosomes are halved to be combined with other half-sets upon fertilisation.
Melatonin enhances and boosts the body's immune system and people with high pineal secretion levels are less likely to develop cancerous diseases. High Melatonin production increases energy, stamina and physical tolerance levels and is directly related to sleep patterns, keeping the body temperature regulated with properties that operate through the cardiovascular system. It is the body's most potent and effective antioxidant, and it has positive mental and physical anti-ageing properties.
The Pineal Gland is impregnated by eternal ideas and gives humans the possibility of formulating our own imagery. It is an organ of thought by means of which we acquire inner perception and can thereby change eternal ideas into earthly conceptions. Yoga Masters associate the pineal gland with the Ajna Chakra. Chakras are energy centres corresponding to each of the glands of the endocrine system; the Pineal Gland is a receiver and transmitter of subtle vibrations which carry thoughts and psychic phenomena. The Pineal Gland is also known as the Eye Of Wisdom; the chakra of the mind, of heightened self awareness and inner vision, representing the ability to see things clearly with intuitive knowledge.
