VAN (VANHOMRIGH) ESSA (ESTHER) > VANESSA
Meaning:*
It is a feminine given name, especially popular in the United States. It was invented by the Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift for (Esther Vanhomrigh), whom Swift had met in 1708 and whom he tutored. The name was created by taking “Van” from Vanhomrigh’s last name and adding “Essa,” the pet form of Esther. This name increases its popularity thanks to Vanessa Redgrave (born 1937), an English actress of stage, screen, and television, as well as a political activist. The Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is a well-known colorful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. The use of the name for people remained rare until the mid-twentieth century.

Chakra Number: #9
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.

Color meaning: Gold

It is no surprise that gold symbolizes wealth used wisely, but it is also the symbol of good health. People who favor the color gold are optimistic. The Tibetan Buddhist believes in 5 sacred stones: the crystal for light, turquoise for infinity of sea and sky, coral for life and form, gold for the golden ray of the sun, silver for the light of the moon. Gold is intimately linked with Divinity and those gods associated with the Sun. It symbolizes wealth and success.
