Solar Plexus

This is also known as “Nabhi Chakra” – the controlling centre for all the organs below the diaphragm. It is important to check the position of Solar Plexus before starting any treatment. Solar plexus is like the governor of human body. Unless it is set right, treatment may not give the desired results.
Cause of solar plexus be displaced
• wrong postures
• lifting heavy weights
• constipations
• Internal problems related with stomach
• Insomnia
• Excessive gas
Checking of Solar Plexus 
1. In the morning, on an empty stomach. If you press your finger or thumb on the navel, you will feel a throbbing sound just like that of the heart. That means the system is O.K.
2. The distance between the right nipple and navel and the left nipple and navel will be equal when Solar Plexus is in order. Otherwise, by measuring the distances, you can find out whether the centre has shifted upward or downward.
3. Lie down on your back. Keep the arms (hands) straight on you sides. Keep legs straight and the toes upright. The two big toes must be in level. If they are not, it indicates disturbance of the Solar plexus.

This center shifts upward or downward when excess weight is lifted or when there is severe gas trouble. In such cases this throbbing will not be noticed in the centre of the navel, but it will be noticed somewhere around the navel. The upward shifting of the Solar Plexus leads to constipation and downward shifting brings more motions every time there is pressure. This cannot be cured by drugs. And when these problems persist, it can damage the digestive system and may require an operation. It may even lead to cancer. One the causes of Cancer of Colon (lower and greater part of the large intestine)is regular constipation which is allowed to persist too long. IN such cases, it has been found that this Solar Plexus has moved upwards.

Methods of bringing the Solar Plexus to order:
It is to be done only on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
1. By pushing the throbbing towards the centre of the navel.
2. By putting weight on the navel and trying to press it towards the centre.
3. Lie down on your back. Keep the arms straight on the sides. Ask someone to apply pressure on the knees, more pressure on the knee of the leg of which the big toe is at a higher level. And if necessary, ask another person to hold the two big toes in hand and try to pull up the big toe which is lower. Repeat this action f both toes have not come in level.
4. By putting up a small oil lamp/candle on the navel (a coin or something can be kept on the navel as a base to hold the candle), cover it with a metal glass and hold it for a minute (see figure). The air inside will burn out and a vacuum will be created. This vacuum will bring the Solar Plexus to the centre. Then lift the glass upwards after one minute. Repeat these three or four times till the throbbing is felt at the centre.

Whenever the complaint about constipation or loose motion continues, first check up the Solar plexus.
