Name Root:
mer myn > MERFYN
Meaning:*
This name has been traced as Welsh origin but is still today quite uncertain. The meaning seems to be “marrow famous, eminent,” probably from “mer” (marrow) plus “myn” (eminent). Merfyn Frych was King of Gwynedd from around 825 to 844, the first of its kings known not to have descended from the male line of Cunedda. Precious little is known of Merfyn’s reign. Thornton suggests that Merfyn was probably among the Welsh kings who were defeated by Ecgberht, king of Wessex, in the year 830, but it is unknown how this affected Merfyn’s rule.

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.
