is the pineal gland part of the brainstem
Decalcifying your pineal gland. The pineal gland (some say âPINnealâ, others say âpuhNEELâ) is a tiny gland shaped like a pine cone in the center of the head, behind the lower part of your brow. At the top of the brainstem, the pineal gland is part of the most ancient part of our brain, which we share with almost all vertebrates. It produces melatonin and is also believed to produce the chemical DMT during deep meditation, mystic states, near-death experiences, and perhaps also in response to direct sunlight.
