kalós ómma / ópsis / ṓps > Kalliopē
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Kalliópē ‎(Καλλιόπη)”, composed of two elements: “kalós ‎(καλός)” (beautiful, lovely, virtuous, noble) plus “ómma ‎(ὄμμᾰ) ópsis ‎(ὄψις)” (eye, the eye of heaven) or from “ṓps ‎(ὤψ)” (to the eye, in the face, eye). In turn, the name means “the one who has beautiful eyes, the one who has a beautiful face, look beautiful.” Calliope was the muse of epic poetry, daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is believed to be Homer’s muse, the inspiration for the Odyssey and the Iliad. Calliope also had two famous sons, Orpheus and Linus, by either Apollo or the king Oeagrus of Thrace. She taught Orpheus verses for singing. According to Hesiod, she was also the wisest of the Muses, as well as the most assertive. Calliope married Oeagrus close to Pimpleia, Olympus.

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.
