(AVELINE) (AV / AVI > AVILA) (óIPH)
Meaning:*
This name initially was used as a surname, which is stemming from “Aveline,” a feminine Norman-French diminutive of the name “Ava” from “avila” (derived from the Germanic element “av / avi,” of unknown meaning, possibly “desired”). Evelyn is also sometimes used as an Anglicization of the Irish Gaelic Aibhilín and Éibhleann. Aibhilín is a variant form of Eibhlín, which is also derived from the Norman-French Aveline. Éibhleann, on the other hand, is said to be derived from the Old Irish “óiph,” meaning “radiance, beauty”; a variant of Éibhliu, used in English as Evilin. Other scholars support the theory that the name “Evelyn” means “hazelnut.” Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582) was a prominent Spanish mystic, Roman Catholic saint, Carmelite nun, an author of the Counter-Reformation, and theologian of contemplative life through mental prayer.

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.
