*hūn / húnn *friþuz > Hunfrid
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Norse “Húnrøðr,” composed of two elements: “húnn” (child, cub, bear cub) plus “*friþuz” (peace, tranquility, friendship). 1) Humphrey of Hauteville was the Count of Apulia and Calabria from 1051 to his death. Humphrey was probably the youngest son of Tancred of Hauteville by his first wife, Muriel. Some sources make Geoffrey and Serlo his younger brothers. He is said to have accompanied his elder brothers William and Drogo into the South around 1035 on information from Goffredo Malaterra; however, he may have arrived later, in 1044, during the reign of his elder brother William. 2) Hunfried († 1051) was archbishop of Ravenna from 1046 to 1051. Hunfried was a son of Count Liutold von Mömpelgard, son of Duke Konrad I of Swabia, and of Freiin Willibirg von Wülflingen (today part of Winterthur), who gave her husband the dominion of this name.

Chakra "Pineal Gland"

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. 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.
