 |
|
I've read that you can stimulate your pineal gland my having it on your head in just the right place on your head on the right pole. Question is, where on your head to put the magnet?
Right now, I've got it on the very top of the underside of a baseball cap with the appropriate pole facing the correct way but I'm not certain it should be on the top of your head like mine is or whether it should be where the Indians have their little red dot.
Thanks for your help. |

Sure why not, now is the pineal gland the one in your posterior?

"No"? Just, "no"? The spam gods have deemed you unworthy. Next.

Ummm, That's a man's prostate. Pineal gland is in your brain. |

Well the pineal gland is underneath the brain near back of your throat, I don't think there would be anyway to safely attach a magnet
there, that's why I gave a silly answer before, it would be just as effective there. Is this for helping with a sleep disorder?

Yeah, attaching a magnet to it might prove a little difficult. |

you're missing the point. You know how MRIs work, right? not even saying it's similar but it's not like the MRI is invasive. The people say that you put the magnet on your scalp where the pineal gland is closest to the surface and it's supposed to be stimulated.
and melatonin makes you sleepy. yes, melatonin is produced my the pineal but I don't wanna get sleepy. I want "third-eye" experiences. |

II doubt a simple magnet would activate your pineal gland, its not something you can turn on or off at will, it is a fascinating organ, it does act almost like a photovoltaic receptor when exposed to light, I didn't know that it was outside of the brain blood barrier, which is what you would think it was since its inside the brain.

Yes, but strong magnetic forces won't do that to you. I've been around active MRI machines. You do get a strange feeling around them, the magnetic field of one of those things in the same room as you is far stronger than attaching any natural magnet to your scalp, but neither of these will produce "third-eye" experiences. Unfortunately the two main ways of acheiving this are taking psychoactive drugs, of which nearly all are illegal, and mostly harmful, and years of disciplined meditation, which takes a lot of time and effort. Types of yogic breathing to get oxygen deprived are another option, but takes training, and oxygen deprivation isn't really good for you. |

Nothing in the pineal gland is ferrous. Magnets, no matter what they are made of, produce a field that acts strongly upon ferrous metals. In short, there's nothing there to stimulate with magnetism.
It's similar to the reason that people familiar with biology and physics cringe whenever Magneto, in the X-Men comics and movies, uses his magnetic powers to attack someone. It won't work, Erik! (Now, if he were to use his powers to, say, pick up an I-beam and smack someone with it...)
Edit: Actually, on reflection, the movies aren't quite so egregious about this - I only recall Lensherr using his powers on Wolverine (whose adamantium skeleton might well be ferrous - the comics aren't clear on the question), and on a prison guard who'd been injected with massive amounts of iron (although one wonders why his body didn't filter some of that out before he went on duty...). The comics still get this wrong with dismaying frequency, however.

Some people are sensitive to that sort of thing; if you are, my question would be:
What else might you be stimulating? |
