Transnational Institute IMF Department of Economics at SOAS, University of London Department of Economics The study of Economics at SOAS started in 1962, as a section in the newly established Department of Economic and Political Studies. The Department was divided in October 1990, when the Department of Economics was formed. Since then it has grown significantly in size and it presently includes 18 academic members of staff and 3 teaching fellows, in addition to research staff and computing staff. The Department of Economics is one of the country's leading departments specialising in the economics of development and growth. The Department of Economics' strengths are recognised internationally and, as a consequence, it has received large amounts of funding for its teaching and research activities from a number of international organisations. Why Study Economics at SOAS The department now has one of the largest concentrations of development economists in the UK. Contact:

Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) | US Army War College Chakra Tones and Notes Ruby - Red - Root Chakra Ruby keeps the lower chakras open so energy can move up. It may activate kundalini (in a balanced manner). Mother Mary has infused her energy into this essence which has a profound affect on the heart, strengthening the spiritual heart. Ruby is about mastery and love of self. Each one of these musical notes aligns to one of the twelve major chakras on the physical body and playing the note will help open the chakra and if you hold a pendulum over the aligned chakra and listen to the notes of this scale you will notice that the chakra will spin faster and the energy body and the physical body will recieve more energy from the flow of the higher powers and it is also a great healing technique as well.
