Meaning:*
Imogen, alternatively, mainly in the U.S., Imogene, is a female given name, probably created by Shakespeare for a character in his play Cymbeline. Shakespeare may have meant to use the name of Innogen, a legendary British figure; wife to King Brutus and mother of Locrinus, Albanactus, and Camber, whose name derived from Old Irish “ingen,” meaning “daughter or maiden,” but the name (which Shakespeare also used for a ghost character in early editions of Much Ado About Nothing), was printed instead as Imogen.

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.
