Cathy Cheney Reflexology

I was explaining about the solar plexus and its reflex point to a client last week, so I thought I’d put together this post about it for you …

The solar plexus is a complex system of radiating nerves and ganglia found behind our stomach. It is the nerve centre of the autonomic nervous system, and forms part of the sympathetic nervous system.

It is the area of our body that is particularly sensitive to emotions and feelings, and is often where you may feel them the most intensely.😌

This is a popular reflex area on the feet for reflexologists to ‘hang out’ on for a while …. spending time either working on each of these points, or holding them simultaneously with their thumb tips (as in the image).

Your practitioner may even ask you to do some focused breathing whilst they hold these points.

Working the solar plexus reflexes has the potential to create a wonderful feeling of deep relaxation, and calmness.

If humans could purr then I reckon this reflex is the ‘on button’. 😉
