Essential oils and incense of Frankincense and Myrrh also help to stimulate the Pineal Gland. This is why the baby Christ in Matthew 2:11 was given Frankincense and Myrrh as a gift. This is symbolic of the Christ Consciousness, also known as the Third Eye (Pineal Gland). Frankincense and Myrrh are considered gifts to the baby Christ (denoting Christ Consciousness) because these resins stimulate the Pineal Gland and activate our Christ Consciousness.
Gold (as well as Pyrite Gold or Fool's Gold) also stimulates the Pineal Gland and can be used over it just like magnets. Gold was also given to the baby Christ in Matthew 2:11 along with Frankincense and Myrrh.

Pine resin was long identified with pineal secretion and was used to make frankincense (the incense of priesthood). Gold, on the other hand, was a traditional symbol of kingship. Hence, gold and frankincense were the traditional substances of the Priest-Kings of the Messianic Bloodline, along with myrrh (a gum resin used as a medical sedative) that was symbolic of death.
In the ancient world, higher knowledge was identified as daäth (from which comes our word, 'death'). In fact, as we know very well, the New Testament describes that these three substances (gold, frankincense and myrrh) were presented to Jesus by the Magi, thereby identifying him beyond doubt as a hereditary Priest-King of the Dragon succession.
