By Sonja, KRMT Date: 4/19/23 Topic: Chakras
What are Chakras and what does the third eye have to do with the pineal gland? Chaz H. West Warwick, RI
Thanks for your question Chaz, so sorry it has taken so long to answer.
The word Chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, The term chakra referrers to the seven major discs of subtle energy that run along the center of our body. Each chakra is related to a part of the body and affects certain aspects of our lives, like creativity, intuition, self-confidence and our general health and emotions. People who understand acupuncture and other “energy work” like Reiki, and other healing modalities, understand that energy IS. It’s always there, in everything and can never die. It only changes form. It is part of our system that western medicine has only recently, in the last 50 years, has really started to understand.
We have 7 major Chakras in our body proper, and several small ones in our hands and feet.
Our pineal gland is about the size of a pea. It sits nestled in the top of our brain, about the mid line and out side of the blood brain barrier. Some consider this the seat of the soul. ( It is the reason some cultures believe that if you die by decapitation,your soul can not reach God) { My personal belief is that our Creator, by what every name we are taught, never leaves us, no matter what.}
Some of the actual physical functions of the pineal is to regulate our circadian rhythms, produce melatonin which affects our circadian rhythms. According to my research ,our pineal gland is related to our energetic third eye chakra. Studies have shown a link between our pineal gland and N-dimethltriptamine, also known as DMT, according to 2019 research review, Trusted Source. This chemical is sometimes called the spirit molecule or the seat of the soul, because of it’s believed relationship to consciousness. It is believed by many that the third eye is the window to the spiritual world or to the soul. It is also believed by many that developing the third eye is the doorway to all things psychic. The illusion of separation between self and spirit dissolves when the third eye connection is cultivated. Our physical eyes see the world in physical form. When the “third eye” is open and our pineal is engaged, we see, feel and understand the full connections with everything. I have seen the aura or energy field of living plants, amazing! We can understand that we are one, we are all connected to everything, all the time. Some years ago Duke University conducted an experiment. They put electrodes on trees and a distance away, put live shrimp in boiling water. The trees in a different part of the campus reacted to the death of the shrimp. Life is much more then we often think it is. As some one who “sees/ feels,” I can say I agree that this. But until we all truly know this, it’s still hard at times, be a human and live here with all the confusions in day to day life. The more moments we can take to chill and be at peace the more we will see the connections.
Meditation activates our pineal gland through vibration…. I do not mean for you to throw yourself on the washer during the spin cycle! (smile) Vibration and frequency are part of our world. All sound and movement vibrates. Wales, dolphins and birds, travel and feed by understanding and interpreting different vibrations, some supersonic subsonic. We do as well but haven’t figured out just how yet. Vibration and frequency connects everything at different levels. Jumping around and dancing create a kind of vibration which has a frequency. Just like being calm and listening and focusing on your breathing creates a different kind of vibration and frequency.
Visualizations, of the peace and calm you seek also creates vibration and frequency. Everything truly does work together. Each component of our mind, body,consciousness and belief system work together with in us to Create our personal world. The vibes we create in our world effect others by extension.
I don’t mean to get into the weeds here Chaz, but everything is connected in every way. Often hard to explain the concepts we feel and see within. Even sitting for 10 min. a day with our eyes closed, focused on our breathing is a good thing. When I need to chill I sit in my rocker, ’cause the movement works for me, close my eyes and breathe ..exhale to a slow count of 4, hold for 4, breath out 4, hold 4 and continue until you feel relaxed. Then sit quietly for a few.
There is so much to write about this subject. There is much already written and a great deal of instruction out there.
One more thing I would like to mention. If you ever wonder why many Hindi peoples may wear a dot on their forehead, it is to mark their most spiritual place, the third eye. With clasped hands, a slight bow, eyes closed, will say, Namaste. They are saying, The God in me, honors the God in you. A greeting and blessing. The dot they wear is called a Bindi. It’s placed center forehead to honor the start of the Creation of the universe, The Mind of God, the Pineal gland. Many in the world believe this is the seat of God with-in us. Our own scriptures tell us that God is with-in.
In Ayurvedic philosophy, the third eye is represented by the Ajna chakra. In Ancient Egypt, the symbol of the Eye of Horus mirrors the placement of the pineal gland in the profile of the human head.
The third eye Chakra is sometime called our sixth sense and believed to be connected to our pineal gland. Some believe that opening the third eye can increase our perception, intuitiveness and spiritual connections.
I hope this answers your question Chaz. There is so very much more to be learned and understood. But the one good thing about a computer is that we can look stuff up without struggling through a library that may not have the information we are looking for and decide if we agree or have a different idea.
Keep well, and enjoy puzzling out the Chakra mysteries!
Sonja, with love

By Sonja, KRMT Date: 3/27/23 Topic: Energy and How We Use It.
Hi Sonja, Can you please describe what energy work is? Some people here say they are healers, but it doesn’t seem like they do the same thing. I just don’t understand. Lois M. Turner, Maine,
Hi Lois, You asked a question about energy work, is also called Light Work. There are many different kinds. As you know, I work with Reiki. I first learned Therapeutic Touch in the 70’s. Regardless which systems a person uses, it’s still energy!.. ENERGY IS! The first work I did, had no name. As a child, I just “knew” where to put my hands, and people felt better. Many of us are born with this ability. But many are ridiculed or punished for doing or speaking in a way that is considered blasphemous. We hide it away and may never pick it up again. Many people who discovered this gift with themselves were are told they are nuts, working with evil spirits, or making it up.
When I was first in the nursing field, Therapeutic Touch was the HOT thing. It was being taught in all major hospitals. I was lucky to study under the developers, Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz. Later Reiki was the rage. There are several kinds. Mostly from Japan, China and Polynesia. There are many methods around the world, especially in indigenous cultures that I am not familiar with. Often in older cultures, drumming, singing and chanting is part of the healing ceremony. Every one in the group take part. Can you imagan the power generated? We will take that up in another news letter. The actions may be different, but the process is always the same. I have studied Usui and Kruna Reiki and hold a Master Teacher certificate. In the Spiritualist Church, it was called “Hands on Healing,” or “The Healing Circle”. Years ago, Fuzz and I developed the Focused Healing Technique of Energy Balancing. It is a system of deep meditation without using symbols as a focus point. We found no difference in the outcome, although the process was never scientifically studied.
We realized over time, that all systems are basically the same. People were paying thousands of dollars to learn each one. The words and symbols associated with some of these techniques are often isolated into each category, depending where the teachings came from and the religious beliefs of each original teacher. Sometimes there is a juggle about which method is better. Personally, we both felt that this information should not be a money making endever. Yes, people should get pd. for their teaching times and expenses. But Thousands of dollars is way off the beam. Reasonable offerings should prevail.
Energy IS. It is all around us, in us, part of us, it is the vibration of our Universe,. It is what the Universe IS. The beginning step is always the same, regardless of the method chosen. The practitioner should be calm and focused, and ask, ( According to their belief system. There are many different belief systems, but only one Creator. Work with in your belief) to be supported to bring the highest good to the person or situations they are working with. We do not ask to HEAL, because we have no idea why the person or situation is needing support. We have no idea of a persons life lessons. As “healers”, we are obligated to bring the highest energy we can and allow it to do it’s work. We do not heal. To be called a Healer is a misnomer. We can only ask for the Highest Good to become apparent and effect positive change, if that is what is called for. It is a joint effort. The person being worked on, ( In person or at a distance) must agree that this is acceptable and give the practitioner permission to do the work) . Or the practitioner will hit a blocked wall, the receiving persons energy will block any effort to change the situation. ( Some people feel they deserve what they get as part of what they believe about themselves in their core. ) If that is the case, an outside person will not be able to direct the Universal Energy to them in order to make a difference. We all have free will to believe what we wish, or to accept others help or not. We should never force ourself or our belief system on another. The next step, after you are calm and focused, is to breathe. We taught a 4-4 method of breathing in the beginning, and as the practitioner feels more comfortable we move into a 6-8 pattern, then an 8-10. Then we mentally vision our own energy becoming our calming color. Most people chose green or blue, some white. It’s individual. Vision the energy of the heavens and earth coming into to your body through your head and feet and allow yourself to feel the enormous love infused into the energy. Use your mind to move the feelings into your heart and hands, ( you may feel them warming or tingling) and put them where you are guided for as long as the energy is moving. ( This method can be used on yourself as well. You don’t need special training to to allow Spirit / God, to help you. You only need to ask. Some feel placing their own energized hands on themselves while visioning healing, works for them.) Ask your Spirit or God within to guide you in visioning what needs help and to help you relax and vision your own healing.) We can get more into this another time. I don’t know if this answers your question about healing energy. There are people who can send energy by focusing on someones picture. I do this often. The picture is only a focus point for the energy to move to. Energy moves by what many would consider Quantum Physics, but that is another class. People who may have been taught a particular path of hands on healing, may defend their position that they are doing it the RIGHT WAY! In reality it is all connected and is all one. We have One Creator and we all have been given the gift of helping another as well as ourselves, we just have never been taught…
We believe there is no difference in what happens when we are sending energy specifically, or when we are praying. Real prayer, is focused energy from and too our minds and hearts and the Universe, by what ever name we may each call that Infinite Power. It is a never ending circle. You can also see the connections in my book. Check it out and let me know what you think. I think you already know I offer private readings.
Thank you for for your question Lois. Feel free to comment.
Keep well, and go blow some bubbles! They help you breathe, relax, and giggle. You can not blow them without bringing a smile to your face or others!

by Sonja ,KRMT Date: 12/5/2022 Topic: Acupuncture,
Q. Would you please re run an article you wrote a couple of years ago or so ago about acupuncture? My brother has allergies. None of the medication he takes helps him. His doctor said he should try acupuncture, but I can’t remember what you said about it. I know there is someone in the area, but can’t remember his name. Bob H. Clayton
Sure Bob, Thanks. Acupuncture has its roots deeply planted in China. In fact, authorities agree this science is between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. Its use spread throughout ancient Egypt, the Middle East, the Roman Empire and later into Western Europe as merchants and missionaries to China told of the amazing discoveries the people of the Orient had developed. Acupuncture did not become known on a national level in the U.S. until 1971 when diplomatic relations between China and America were relaxed.
Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin which communicates from the exterior to the internal organs and structures over 1,000 “Acupoints” on the body. This energy works in harmony with the body’s circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and all other systems of the body. When this vital energy becomes blocked or weakened, the effect the blockage has on your body becomes evident. Stimulation of one or a combination of key “Acupoints” on the body may restore harmony to the affected area.
I saw amazing results with the use of acupuncture while I was studying in China, 33 years ago now. Over time,paraplegics regained their normal functioning abilities with the use of acupuncture and ‘energy work’ called Qi Gong. I witnessed people undergoing surgery without anesthesia, fully conscious and without pain. I’m not trained in acupuncture but I am trained to use acupressure, or Shiatsu, using the same pressure points and pressing the point in a moderate way to allow the body’s energy to flow from point to point unimpeded, allowing for balance.
The human body works on a balancing system. To be in optimal health your physical,emotional, spiritual and energy body needs to be balanced. Acupuncture or acupressure work in a way to balance the body, mind
and emotions by allowing the body’s energy to move freely through the energy systems.
The human body’s energy flow courses over 12 meridians or channels that are normally well balanced. If a disruption of energy flow exists, be it physical or emotional, it can alter the entire system, producing pain or symptoms of illness in the body.
Most people think inserting a needle into their skin would be painful since most of us can relate to being stuck with a pin or getting a shot. Because of the extreme slenderness of the needle, nearly as thin as a human hair, most people compare the sensations to “less than a mosquito bite.” Most of the time I never feel the needle.
There are several Chiropractors that use Acupuncture. Call around and ask. Or perhaps you can find one on line. I have found that even within Acupuncture there are specialties. There are practitioners who specialize in Acupuncture of the ear, hands or feet only.
The ear holds are more than 100 Acupoints which relate to various organ systems and parts of the body. During fetal development the 1st structure
to form is the brain and spinal cord. At about the same time, what
later becomes the external ear also develops. Accordingly, there is a very strong relationship between the external ear and the central nervous
system.
The Ancient Chinese viewed the ear as resembling an upside down fetus with all the body parts proportionately arranged in and on the ear. Therefore, the lobe of the ear would relate to the head, brain, stem, face, etc., whereas the top of the ear relates to the knee, foot, ankle, etc. The success rate in Ear Acupuncture is remarkable. 1000’s of American
physicians have begun using Ear Acupuncture as an adjunct to their practice. People are finding relief from pain, anxiety, addictions and stress with little or no discomfort. Just an interesting tid-bit. Anyone can look this up and see the diagrams. Really amazing that we have been put together in such an incredible way… everything connects and works together!
I have personally experienced ear acupuncture for stress and pain and found the results amazing.
Currently, I don’t know any acupuncturist working in this area, at this time. Although I offer Emotional Freedom Techniques also known as Tapping. A process you can learn to help yourself with health issues and pain reduction. Easy to learn and it works amazingly. I use it myself. This is a way of working with acupuncture points. I teach you how to do this for yourself through my workshops and seminars. I am also an “Energy Mover”,a Reiki Master Teacher and offer classes.
(This article excerpted in part, from Dr. Towery’s
Healthy Solutions).
Keep well, and don’t worry….. water will not flow out of your acupuncture points when you drink a glass of water after you have a session! (giggle)
Have a wonderful day, think about what a wonderful body we have been given!

By Sonja, KRMT Date: 11/15/22 Topic: Treasure Maps
Sorry this is late, but you know life… Stuff happens!
What is a treasure map? I see stuff on FB about making treasure maps. I don’t think there is any treasure where I live, so how do I make a map? Sue K. Stowe, Vt.
A treasurer map is exactly that. Your personal map that helps you create the future circumstances that you dream of and treasure in your life.
When we study personal energy ( energy that is created and used by our bodies & spirit) we learn that our mind and body work together with all other energies to bring us information. This happens all the time with everything in our lives. Most of us have just never been taught this. Many of us can see, feel or move energy, especially if we understand that it is a gift given to us by our Creator, not some evil creeping up to grab us when we are not looking.
Treasure maps work through our emotions. We have all heard the admonition, “Ask and you shall receive.” Many of us do this over and over and still no results. Often because we only follow the rote of the words we have been taught, or physical movements required by our faith. Like being on our knees to pray. We can pray any place, at any time. Keeling is not required to offer prayer, it’s just what we have been taught this in some faiths as the only way. The reasoning is that when we are on our knees we are still, in one place, focused on that connection. Mostly our thinking, thanking or asking is offering what we think, in our heads. We live in a linear world and see things through that leans. But our Soul or Spirit is multi- dimensional. Treasure Mapping helps us use our spiritual or soul connections to help bring the things or relationships we desire to fruition.
What do you think could be missing? Our emotions!Feeling the truth of our request as we ask, and believing that we will receive what has been asked for. Our emotions or our feelings are what sends the signals of want or need. Feelings and emotions are connected and create movement. Those who “move energy” ( healers) understand the concepts and process. It is something that all of can learn and understand.
The part of us that moves things is our energy. That is our thoughts and the moving emotions that zip through us. Think about what you feel. What moves through you? Happiness, anger, joy, fear,comfort, love, hate? A treasure map helps us feel what and how we want and to bring those feelings into our lives. If we get stuck in life’s minutiae, we can easily come back to the feelings as we see our pictures again. That’s what starts our ball rolling. When we love someone that feeling manifests over and over until it develops into a relationship. Wither it be a friend, lover, or a child to be born or pet.
The one thing we all have in common, is our emotions, everyone in the world has them. We all know how each other can feel because we have all felt, joy, love, pain, sorrow. It is our connector as human beings. Why do you think we were told love others as I have love you? Because we all know how it feels to be loved and what that feeling does for us and how it helps us grow. That is the guidance of how to treat others. Love and care have the power to change the world and that secret is held with in each of us, as well as all living things in our world.
As you look through your magazines, notice how you feel. What kind of pictures make you feel safe, happy, fearful, calm, pissy, peaceful? As you feel different images resonate with you, cut em out! You like the red hot car? How do you feel when you see it? You may not want or need a red car, but the feeling it brings to you is what you really want. Identify the feeling… The daffodil makes you think of Auntie. You may not want the work of planting a flower garden, but what attracted you to the picture? It was something about the feelings Auntie helped you feel.
As you work your life’s map, for this point in your life, and take the time to feel and enjoy. Your path will become more clear.
The last map I made a few years ago has all kinds of stuff in it, a motorcycle going up a hill, flowers, birds, a blue car, different designs, trees, a level, a beautifully appointed kitchen, Mt. Shasta, half of a hard wood tree connected with a pine tree, representing different religious beliefs in our family all connected together, and lots of other little things. I have not ridden a motorcycle in years and don’t want one at this time. But the picture offers a sense of freedom! Yep! That’s me!After I put all the pictures together the one theme that was over all was pace and balance. THAT’S WHAT I WANT IN MY LIFE. It’s on my wall where I can see it everyday. I can look at it and smile, even if the day is upsetting, I can always bring myself back to the peace and balance I crave, knowing I have an internal plan. When I hit a bump in the road, I can say, it’s ok. I know what I want.. I ask, what’s my plan to get there again? Works for me every time . I can get right back on the “path”.
As you are putting your map together, what do you feel? It’s your feelings that will move you forward. Your feelings are directly connected to the ideas of the pictures you choose. Keep working it until you feel excited about what you created and see how the feelings manifest in your mind’s eye. That does not mean you will never get the perfect ………., that you had your heart set on. Just work at creating the feelings you want to live with and follow your guidance to that goal.
Our feelings run our lives. Most people do not realize that we have free will to choose how we feel. Even if something terrible happens, over time we have the choice and ability to change how we feel… to soften the hard blows, or to up lift our sadness by how we chose to think about a situation. When we have feelings that are life supporting, our immune system stays healthy. Our brain tells all of our working parts, “It’s safe to come out and play, no worries here”! Our breathing is calm, which in turn lowers our heart rate, that in turn lowers our blood pressure. Many of us live on the edge of our flight or fight syndrome, 24/7. If we believe the tiger is chasing us all the time, our brain sends the alarm, TROUBLE LOOK OUT! It sends the alarm as long as we feel stressed, the Guards are always ready, locked and loaded, ready to protect and serve. The White Knights in our lymphatic system stand at the ready to combat stress and any malfunction that is created due to being over stressed.
EVERYTHING is connected and works together. In our lives today, many of us feel this underlying fear constantly. Treasure Mapping is one way to single the ALL CLEAR, allowing our brain to move into its peaceful state and allowing that peace to cover us so we can clearly see and move toward our next step.
I know many who read this posting already understand energy, how it works and how to create it. I appreciate your reading and attention. Thank you. (smile)
Thanks for your question Sue. Hope this helps. Please stay in touch and feel free to share how this works for you!
Keep well,
Sonja, Healing Focus
