Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “akrídon (ακρίδων) akrída (ακρίδα) Akrísios (Ἀκρίσιος),” meaning “locust, grasshopper.” A yellow or green vegetarian insect with large legs that allows jumping a long distance. In Greek mythology, Acrisius was the king of Argos, son of Abas and Aglaea, and twin brother of Proetus. When their father died, Acrisius slyly possessed all of the inheritance and expelled his brother. However, assisted by his father-in-law Iobates, Proetus managed to take his share of the kingdom and became Tiryns’ city’s ruler. The name-day is celebrated on November 1, the Feast of All Saints.

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.
