What is an important step in Shiva-yoga practice ?
In Shiva-yoga the steadfast gazing at Linga is of vital importance, because it generates magnetism which galvanizes into activity the dormant pineal gland. As a result of sustained look at Linga, the transmuted energies rise up the nerve channel into the medulla oblongata through the pons, then pass down into the pituitary behind the eyes. The increasing pituitary radiations finally pass through the third ventricle until they awaken the dormant pineal and the third eye lights up between them.
