Meaning:*
This name derives from a medieval English surname. It is a location from various places now called Clayton in the counties of Lancashire, Staffordshire, Sussex, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. The derivation is from the pre-7th-Century “clorg- tūn,” meaning “the village on the clay.” The earliest spelling is in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Claitone and Claitune, and it appears in its present form in Lancashire in the pipe rolls of 1263. The name derives from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) “clǣġ” from Proto-Germanic “*klajjaz” (clay) plus “tūn,” meaning “enclosure, the settlement.”

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.
