Silence - Melathonin and Meditation

by Maria Ferreira da Silva

in 14 Dec 2016

  (...previous) Amino acids act as regulators of the vital activities of the organism and govern our nocturnal and diurnal rhythms, in accordance with the cosmic system. Melathonin produces physical and psychic well-being, the latter being dependent on the quantity of the substance that each person is able to produce. Scientists have reached the conclusion that the pineal gland is of essential importance for the functioning of the physical and psychic organism as a whole.
Due to aging, illness or the daily abuse of the organism, such as the excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs, a poor diet, or the manifestation of vices of character, the production of Melathonin decreases and our will and strength to live diminish.
The above-mentioned sugars that the brain produces when one meditates are none other than the celebrated Melathonin, which, according to researchers, is the amino acid which is essential for life and the good functioning of the organism.
In my opinion, the pineal gland is the organ housing the consciousness–intelligence, which Descartes was intuitively aware of. However, for many decades, the gland was ignored or forgotten by scientists, who assigned it no special or specific functions and were even convinced that it had no utility.

Recent scientific studies claim that Melathonin can be found not only in the pineal gland but also in our intestines, although in smaller quantities. However, it has not yet been discovered at the base of the spine, which not only governs sexual life, but also houses the celebrated type of energy known as kuṇḍalinī. The presence of Melathonin at the base of the spine explains why human beings enjoy the sexual stimulus. However, Melathonin can be activated and produced repeatedly just through meditation, without leading to the physical and psychic wear deriving from sexual relations. Whenever we feel the need for developing purity of intention or action, we can abstain from sexual activity and sublimate our sexual energy. However, those who abstain from sexual relations but instead expend their energies on worldly pursuits are not able to direct them to higher planes; as the higher goal is not aimed for, such sexual abstention is useless. The awakening of kuṇḍalinī occurs in those who through the purity of living, both in thought and action, have developed in themselves and in their brains the capacity to live in a certain state of higher consciousness. The awakening of kuṇḍalinī by mechanical processes and practices, without the necessary spiritual development, undoubtedly leads to instability.

Love between two beings also produces Melathonin. The happiness experienced by two people in love is due, in part, to the mutual stimulation of Melathonin in the pineal gland. However, it is only individually, in Meditation, that we can reach higher planes of love, which in its turn stimulate the pineal gland. A cycle is then set up, as more love is also developed by the stimulation of the pineal gland. This process is, as I refered, a consequence of a life lived in moderation and directed towards a higher spiritual plane.
Why do people love dancing? Because music stimulates the sound of our own heart. By moving our body to the rhythm of music, the Melathonin produced at the base of the spine awakens the energy of kuṇḍalinī.
As far as Melathonin in the intestines is concerned, we all know that when they work well we are in good humour and good health. In the tradition of Yoga (§), the regular evacuation of the bowels is an essential requirement for effective meditation on a higher plane in order to still the mind.
Silence, actually increases the production of Melathonin, and when we are meditating, the brain sets in train processes which purify the mind by producing this substance which, in large quantities, allows us to attain beatitude.
