The idea of the third-eye should be commonplace.  Probably first popularized in western culture through Sherlock Holmes (Doyle practiced many third eye techniques and so did his detective), the mystique of its action on the brain remain tied up with many people as a kind of quackery. This book lays out the techniques and the practical science behind them. I came to many practices outlined in Dr. Ammon-Wexler's book from a very practical and scientific direction.  As a teen I was diagnosed with chronic hyper-tension.  I was not overweight, was medium athletic, and a fairly happy kid. This was just something my body was doing and I was getting bad headaches. Back in the 80's Dr. Herbert Benson's books, very scientific in nature, led me to learning meditation as a way to control my blood pressure.  My practices of western Buddhist techniques came later because I enjoyed the deeper experiences.Pineal Gland & Third Eye: Develop Your Higher Self covers aspects of expanded consciousness as experiences through numerous techniques and offers audio and video material to help educate on how the experience feels and what to do through the experience. It also discusses the practical application of higher consciousness to ones work and motivation.
