Did you know Ki'Swahili {"Swahili"} is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa? It is a Bantu language that has official language status in Tanzania & Kenya and is also widely spoken in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Comoros Islands. It is also spoken by smaller numbers in Burundi, Rwanda, Northern Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. It is largely a mix of local Bantu languages and Arabic - but Swahili also has English, Persian, Portuguese, German and French influences, as well.
How? Decades of intensive trade along the East- African coast resulted in this mix of cultures. This makes it a fascinating and very useful language to learn in the world: ) Sources: https://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/other... https://theculturetrip.com/africa/ken...

In Vedic yoga, they are called "chakras," or wheels. In KMT, they were called "aritu." From satinmarche.com:
These energy centers connect us to the higher forces & are aspects of the Higher Forces within us. They are also connected to the planets & days of the week. Aritu give, receive & store energy. It is at these points where energy is exchanged.
