The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland which lies a little behind the root of the nose.
While the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Beginning with the withdrawal of the senses and the physical consciousness, the consciousness is centered in the region of the pineal gland.

 Chakras - Crystalinks
The chakras are described in the tantric texts the Sat-Cakra-Nirupana, and the Padaka-Pancaka, in which they are described as emanations of consciousness from Brahman, an energy which comes down from the spiritual and gradually crudifies, creating these distinct levels of chakras, and which eventually finds its rest in the Muladhara chakra.
In Eastern thought, the chakras are thought to be levels of consciousness, and states of the soul, and 'proving' the existence of chakras is akin to 'proving' the existence of a soul.
The primary importance and level of existence of chakras is therefore posited to be in the psyche and in the spirit.

 The Chakras: Tools for Developing Self-Awareness - IAC
Unfortunately, most individuals, even those who have some theoretical knowledge of chakras and bioenergies, do not clearly perceive the processes taking place in their chakras and are therefore unable to discern whether the sensations or reactions they experience stem from an energetic problem or from some other source.
Considering that our chakras are the energetic ‘devices' through which we exchange and maintain our bioenergetic level and that the energies of our chakras can vary in quality, to have awareness of what is going on in our chakras is vital to our wellbeing.
With sufficient knowledge of chakras we can identify the type of energy and the chakra responsible for triggering the coupling, and can then work on the points that are producing the non-desirable couplings and reinforce those that increase our connection with more evolved consciousnesses.

  Pineal Gland
Conventional theory has it that the rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina are responsible for transmitting all photoreceptive input, and that the suppression of melatonin (produced by the pineal gland) is also carried out via this pathway.
Bottom line: The conventional visual pathway from the retina to the pineal gland via retinal photoreceptors or optic transduction does NOT seem to be the mode of communication.
Other than the fact the pineal gland is effected by light and secretes melatonin, scientist and medical professionals really do NOT understand EXACTLY what the function of the pineal gland is! Okay, fine.
