In physical terms the solar plexus is a collection of nerves just below the diaphragm near the stomach and liver. We often react emotionally in this area, and sometimes it is called the seat of the emotions. Many of the expressions we use: ‘gut feelings’, ‘I can feel it in my gut’, ‘he dealt me a body blow’, ‘hitting below the belt’, ‘he got me in the solar plexus’, describe this. Tension in this area can cause ulcers, constipation and period problems. The muscles of the abdomen are also particularly important because they affect the breathing.
Self-Massage for the Solar Plexus
When you are lying on the floor or bed:
1 Breathe in slowly, and as you exhale press with the fingers of both hands into the right groin.
2 Continue this, inching your way up the right side, across and above the navel, pressing up into the ribs, and down the left side.
Place hands flat, one just below the breast bone, the other with the lower edge just above the pubic bone, and vibrate them gently until your arms feel tired.
Hold your hands there, and imagine a golden ball of healing light filling your abdomen.
