Name Root:
fĕbrŭo > februa / februare
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Latin “fĕbrŭo > februa / februare,” meaning “purify, expiate.” In ancient Roman religion, Februus was the god of purification. He was also worshipped under the same name by the Etruscans, as the Etruscan god of redemption, but also the underworld, which in turn gives its name to February. Febronia of Nisibis was a nun at Nisibis, Mesopotamia. She suffered persecution under Diocletian, who offered her freedom if she renounced her faith and married his nephew, Lysimachus, who had been leaning towards conversion to Christianity. Febronia refused and was tortured, suffered mutilation and death. Lysimachus, witnessing her suffering, converted. In the Coptic Orthodox church, her feast day is 1 Epip, which corresponds to 8 July (Gregorian calendar) or 25 June (Julian calendar).

It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle. This chakra is also known as the upper dan tien. The ninth chakra is an interesting chakra in that it is in this chakra that all the Christ abilities lie dormant, waiting to be released and used in the outer and inner worlds. The shift in focus at this time is toward that Christ energy and the accompanying abilities that go along with it. Hence, a great deal of work and energy is now being sent into physical reality to help the individual open up and expand this energy center.
