The Spiritual Eye: How to Decalcify & Activate Your Pineal Gland

Christina Sarich – Activating your pineal gland, or spiritual ‘eye’ and detoxing it are two different things. In essence, the detoxification allows you to remove the crystallized deposits, which keep the gland as a caged bird, or a princess jailed in her own ivory tower.
