This special essence helps to filter and convert 5th dimensional energy to make it more easily acceptable to the human body. It is useful for telepathy, and connecting the 3rd (solar plexus) and 6th (third eye) chakras. The thymus gland, a small gland located in the chest, and the heart chakra have different locations and are inter-related. The thymus receives spiritual life force energies and transforms them for use in the etheric, subtle body and physical vehicle. It is said to have once been much larger- it is our job to wake it up again to its previous function.
