THE SOLAR PLEXUS
My webmaster is able to generate a report, which tells us the search
keywords people have used to find www.KyraMesich.com. Interestingly, the
most popular search term for the past couple months has been “solar
plexus.” Obviously, many people out there are looking for information
about this neglected, yet powerful area of the body.
I discuss the solar plexus in The Sensitive Person’s
Survival Guide as a key area of the body to tune into your intuition and
learn to understand and control your empathic ability. I’m such a fan of
the solar plexus that my other book, Modern Meditation focuses primarily
on body-centered, solar plexus meditations.
So, in honor of all of you who are searching for
ways to connect with your solar plexus, following is an excerpt from
Modern Meditation, which introduces the solar plexus. At the end of the
excerpt is a simple solar plexus meditation you can begin using
immediately to get your day off to a centered and grounded start.
Tune Into Your Solar Plexus For Answers
Kyra Mesich, Psy.D.
“Thoughts interfere! My mind won’t slow down! I can’t get out of my head!”
These are the most common complaints people have when they try to
meditate.
In our world, we are taught to pay attention to our thoughts in our head
all the time. Our minds chatter away with thoughts constantly. This
running dialogue is the biggest distraction most people have to being able
to meditate. The thoughts act as a barrier, preventing us from entering
the realm within. We are taught to focus in our heads, on our thoughts,
and that is the problem we face when trying to meditate.
Luckily, the solution is easy. Focus somewhere else! We don’t have pay
complete attention to our minds all the time. In fact, the focus for
meditation should not be in our heads – because that is the realm of our
intellect and distracting thoughts. We can easily learn to focus on
another area of the body, called the solar plexus.
The location of the solar plexus is the place below your chest, but above
your abdomen. The term “solar plexus” actually refers to an interlacing
network of nerves, located in the stomach area, which connects to all our
internal organs. The solar plexus is an important nerve reception and
transmission area. Some people believe that while the brain is the
processing area for intellectual and physical stimuli, the solar plexus is
the processing area for emotional and energetic stimuli.
We need to turn our attention to the solar plexus because it is an
important, powerful part of the body, albeit neglected. We can circumvent
the distraction of intellectual thoughts by paying attention to this part
of our bodies that harmonizes with the intent of meditation. Here is a
solar plexus meditation you can try right now.
Solar Plexus Meditation
Sit back, relax, and take in an easy, deep breath. Release your muscles.
You do not have to exert any effort to sit or lie there. Allow yourself to
be fully supported by the chair or floor.
Take in another gentle, deep breath and release as you exhale. Now turn
your attention to your solar plexus. This is the area of your body between
your chest and abdomen.
Picture a vibrant, glowing sun in your solar plexus. Feel its warmth and
energy.
Focus on this sun for a moment. You may never have paid attention to this
area of your body before.
This sun represents your inner strength, your intuition, and all your
inner resources. Allow your sun to glow brighter and stronger each time
you pay attention to it.
-End of Solar Plexus Meditation-
The solar plexus is the answer for deep, effective meditation. It is such
a powerful area of our bodies, it allows us direct access to develop our
intuition, and to connect with our inner resources. It is also the key
area of our body to help us understand our emotions, especially in regard
to emotional sensitivity and empathic ability. (For more information about
this, please see
The Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide.)
We have many resources available to us in addition to our minds. The solar
plexus is one of them. Remember to turn your attention to your solar
plexus whenever you need to relax, rejuvenate, or when you are in need of
answers, and you will be rewarded with a surprisingly easy sense of inner
power and joy.
