Origin:

Name Root:
grígora > grḗgoros > Grēgórios
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Grēgórios ‎(Γρηγόριος),” which in turn derives from “grígora ‎(γρήγορα) grḗgoros ‎(γρήγορος)” meaning “watchful, alert, cautious, awake, quickly, quick, fast, swift, brisk.” The name enjoyed wide popularity among the early Christians, thanks to the devotion to the saints, monks, and popes who brought it. It remained popular throughout Christendom through the Middle Ages and into modern times. A notable exception is the United Kingdom, where it began to be used only after the Norman Conquest, becoming common there and Scotland around the twelfth century. There have been 16 popes with the name, starting with Pope Gregory I (Gregory the Great). It is the second-most popular name for a pope, along with Benedict, after John. Because of this background, it is also a popular name for saints.

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.
