NAVEL, NABHI, NAAF, SOLAR PLEXUS

It is the pit of the stomach.and is one of the great autonomic plexuses of the body in which the nerve fibers of the

sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system combine. It is a dense cluster of nerve cells and supporting tissuIt is also known as the celiac plexus. Through branches it controls many vital functions such as adrenal secretion anintestinal contraction etc. It circulates energy to the entire body and plays an important role in the development,circulation and control of human life. It is also known as the second brain of our body.

There is a strong relationship between navel and brain. As humans are becoming more and more modern andmaterialistic, the stress is also increasing, which causes the navel imbalance. Any fear arising inside the human brain

directly affects the navel.

The role played by the navel is recognized mostly in Ayurveda, Unani systems of medicine and Tibb Arabi.(NativeArab Medicine), but not in Allopathy, Homeopathy and other systems.

A healthy navel center increases physical energy, brightens the aura of the body, enhances physical attraction and

beauty. It keeps the person, active and energetic, stress free, makes the nerves and muscles active, increases thememory and produces healthy semen.

Navel is deeply related to our digestive system, hence any imbalance in navel leads to sour belches, indigestion,

constipation, loose motions etc. and causes sudden weight gains and losses. Just as a misalignment may occur withithe spinal cord, so a misalignment of the navel and stomach muscles may also occur.

Normally the displacement of the navel has relation to weakening of ligaments related to large intestine. There areseveral reasons for this imbalance, like lifting heavy weights, while playing, eating very spicy food, when the personloses control while walking due to some obstruction or holes on the road, or some physical action which is donecarelessly, and also emotional disturbance, jumping or landing on one leg or pressure falling on one leg, picking up

heavy objects, a sudden twisting or bending movement, sexual activity. The displacement is directly connected withthe nervous system, stomach and muscles and will affect each of these in some manner. Unhealthy navel causes

impotency

The displacement is said to occur more in women and may produce unaccountable menstrual pain and excessive orscanty bleeding.

Medicines don't work because it is due to the displacement of a nerve from its usual place in the body.

Sometimes the shifts are confused with hiatus hernias due to wrong diagnosis.

Symptoms of unhealthy navel center:

Imbalance in navel causes sudden weight gains and losses, which affects the physical structure and look of the perso

Symptoms of healthy navel center:

Navel is the center for consciousness. Balanced navel is necessary for healthy mind, body and soul. Balanced navel

prevents stomach related problems. A healthy navel center increases physical energy and brightens the aura of the

body. The physical attraction and beauty get enhanced. A balanced and healthy navel center balances the mind and

brain and keeps the person stress free and increases the memory. A person with healthy navel center remains active energetic.

Navel displacement is the condition when the navel Centre shifts. It is also called shift in solar plexus. Sometimes

Solar Plexus shifts are confused with hiatus hernias due to wrong diagnosis.

The center shifts upward or downward when excess weight is lifted, or when there is severe gas trouble. In such case

the throbbing will not be noticed somewhere around the navel. The upward shifting of the solar plexus leads to

constipation, and the downward shifting brings more motions every time there is a pressure. If a person has cancer o

the colon, there is chronic constipation and it has been found out that the solar plexus has moved upwards. It is

advisable to check the position of the solar plexus before starting a treatment. The solar plexus is like the mains sprin

of a watch. Unless it is set right, treatment may not give the desired result.

Indications of Solar Plexus Imbalance

Join both your palms together and try to match the lines of both palms and base of the little fingers with each other.

the top lines do not match it indicates imbalance in solar plexus. Another method is to make the patient lie on a flat

surface and join the toes of both the feet together. If there is imbalance then one of the toes will be taller than theother.

Problems Due to Solar Plexus Shifting : Apart from the acute abdomen pain patients experience heartburn and

regurgitation, when stomach acid reaches the esophagus. Sometimes the upward movement of the Solar Plexus

compresses the diaphragm which the protective layer around the heart and it may be wrongly thought that there is so

problem in the heart.

Solar Plexus moves upwards or downwards. Upwards causes constipation and downwards causes diarrhea.

While in most cases the navel will move in an upward or downward direction, a sideways movement is also sometim

noticeable. The displacement is directly connected with the navel, nerves, and stomach muscles and will affect each

these in some manner.

When navel shifts towards left hip, the person complains of pain and tension on the right upper side of the body and

this could affect the liver, gall bladder, abdomen and right kidney. Sometimes the person also complains of pain in

lumbar region (waist part) or left leg.

When navel shifts towards left side, it affects the right side of the body. It causes stiffness in kidneys, intestines alon

with pain.

When navel shifts towards left side, it causes pain, tension and stiffness in the right lower part of the body. It affects

the pancreas, spleen and left kidney. It could also lead to menstrual disorders in women.

When navel shifts towards right side, it causes pain and tension on the lower side of the body, and affects liver, gall

bladder, and left kidney along with intestinal problems.

MEDICINESMedicines don't work for cases of dislocations because it is due to the displacement of a nerve from its

usual place in the body. Physical intervention is a must. However medicines do help in maintenance an

upkeep.

Homeo Medicines :

Use Alumina 30 three doses (if the navel is abnormally pulled back) and for constipation. Use Spigelia 30 one dose for pulled nerves, strangulated nerves, or pain around navel. Antimonium Crudum 30 for stomach disorders. Use dioscorea for radiating pains. Arnica 30 for regular pains.

Bach Flower Remedies:

Pine, Crab Apple and Larch

HERBAL TREATMENT

a. Rapeseed oil : Take a cloth, big enough to cover the navel from all sides. Soak it with rapeseed oil ( Torai ke beor Tilli ke beej or Sarsoon ke beej ) and pour a few drops in the navel and place the soaked cloth on all sides of

the navel. Do this once a week.

b. Saunf : Take powder of 25 grams of Saunf (Fennel seeds) and take it with Jaggery ("Gud" in hindi). Eat this budo not take water for half an hour. This is also supposed to be good and you can try this.

c. Ginger : Pour ginger juice on navel and massage the area to control loose motions and cure all stomach diseasd. Milkweed : Apply the latex of milkweed (Aak ke patte ka doodh) on the navel region to cure dislocation.e. Bush Lucerne (Desmodium gyroides) helpful.

BENEFICIAL FOODS

Amla (Indian gooseberry) is considered good as a medicine for this disease.

Most yellow skinned or fleshed foods are good for energizing the Solar Plexus. Yellow colored foods are instant

energy boosters and have great nutritional value. These are foods good for the nervous system and directly involve

with the organs that are a part of the digestive system. Some examples of yellow skinned or fleshed fruits and

vegetables are yellow corn, grapefruit, lemons, yellow squashes, yellow lentils, Bananas, Mangoes, Pears, Yellow

apples, yellow peppers, Star fruit, quince etc. The herbs and spices belonging to the yellow group are ginger,

peppermint, spearmint, melissa, turmeric, cumin, fennel, Dandelion flowers and chamomile. Eating these foods is

lavender. However it is important to use only therapeutic-grade essential oils. If you are pregnant or suffering from

serious health conditions consult a Doctor before using these Oils.

DETECTION AND TREATMENT

The reasons for the slipping of the navel relate to our daily routine. Working wrongly, sitting wrongly, and sleepinwrongly could all cause the slippage of the navel. People who always run or walk very fast or put more weight on leg while walking may find their navel displaced. Running to board a bus or train, heavy weight lifting, workingmore than their capability allows or doing exercises with jerking movements may find their navel displaced. Certainoccupations cause people to regularly sit or stand in a wrong position, e.g. tailoring, driving or using a computer,

while seated in crouched manner, working for too long a time sitting or standing can result in the navel being

displaced. Those who kick start a scooter or motor cycle may find their navel slipping to right side.

Love making or sexual intercourse in some poses may also displace the navel. A sudden jerk or fall or falling from

height may also displace navel. Normally the navel travels upwards in this. If the jerk is transmitted to the left foothe navel will get displaced towards right & vice-versa. Generally the navel of the male gets displaced towards theleft and that of women towards the right.

Even though once corrected also, due to daily routine, it may again get displaced.

One should occasionally check the navel of his family members also, so that corrective actions can be taken in time

somebody is critically ill in the family or neighborhood, the checking of navel could unravel one essential reason ofthe sickness. Once it is corrected, medical science could bring relief faster.

FINDING THE POSITION OF THE NAVEL:

To check the navel position there are various methods.

1) In the morning, before taking any food, place the thumb on the navel. If you feel vibrations or pulsations like th

heart beating, the navel is at its correct place.

2) Lie on your back. Put both arms at the side of the body and both big toes together. If both the big toes are paralit is an indication that the navel is central, otherwise slippage is indicated.

Put both hands out straight in front so that the palms touch on the sides. Just below the little finger there is a `heartline` in the palm. With both the heart lines in one line, check whether the top ends of the little fingers are matchingin one line. If not, the navel is most likely displaced.

METHODS OF DETECTION AND CORRECTION

1.TOES : Testing with toes:Lie on your back, keeping your arms straight on your sides. Keep the legs straight and the toes upright and look at t

toes. The two big toes must be level. If they are not, it indicates a disturbance in the solar plexus. Pull the smaller to

to correct it while pressing the knee of the leg on which the thumb is lower. Pull the thumb a few times. Check agai

If the thumbs are in equal height, the solar plexus has been corrected. Do it twice or thrice a day.

For stubborn cases, lie down facing floor. Ask the partner to lift up your left hand and the left leg catching from

ankles and wrist. Ask him to place one of his legs very firmly in the centre of your back around L5 position. Carefu

and slowly start pulling both leg and hand simultaneously upwards and towards centre perpendicular to your back.

Alternate with the other hand and other leg. Do it one or two times. It should correct.

For more stubborn cases, Lie down on the floor facing the floor. Catch both the ankles of the legs with respective

hands like the way we do in Dhanurasan. It should be very firmly caught with a good grip. Ask the partner to stand

the middle portion of your body with his both legs on both sides of your body firmly earthed to the floor. He should

be a strong person. Ask him to catch your ankle or your leg or wrist of your hand and ask him to lift you upwards

whole body from the floor. It should be done very slowly.

Do it once only. It will surely bring the navel in place.

Also lie down on his back on a hard floor. Apply massaging oil like olive oil or ointment around the navel.

With slow circular motions of the thumb in clockwise direction the area around the navel is massaged pushing the

area towards the Centre of navel.

The misalignment can also be detected, by a string. Lie down on a flat surface - facing upwards. using a string

measure the distance from the large toe of both feet, to the navel centre.

If there is a difference in the length of these two measurements, it indicates a shift in the navel position.

However, when measuring the position with string, care should be taken to ensure that the body is correctly aligned

2.NIPPLES METHOD :The patient should first be made to lie on his back comfortably with the arms at the sides touching the ground. The

examiner should place one end of a piece of string on the patients navel, the other end on one of the two nipples of

his chest. Then this end of string should be held to the other nipple. The hand holding the string on the navel to

remain as it is. If the distance between the navel and the two nipples is the same, the navel is in the right place. If

there is even a slight variation in the two distances, the navel is dislodged from its natural position. In Hindustani i

called "Naaf utarna". The area between the navel and the nipples is called "Solar Plexus.


5/19

With the chest bared, measurement is taken with a non-elastic thread or tape from the centre of the navel to each

breast nipple

There should be no difference between these two measurements if the navel is in its right place,

If there is a difference, then there is dislocation of navel.

Then the patient raises both legs while inhaling in shalabhasana position.

In other words, the patient while lying down flat on his back, raises up both legs to 90 degrees while inhaling.

Then bends fully both the knees, and tries to bring the knees towards the chest.

While both the knees are held in this position the person doing the treatment, standing at his feet puts his palms one

on each knee exerting a little pressure on both knees equally.

Supposing the measurement of the right nipple is higher, then holding both the knees, exerts pressure on the patient

right knee to push it towards the navel, while keeping the left knee undisturbed.

Repeat this two or three times. The patient then returns his legs to the original position lying flat. Again the nipple

measurements are taken to confirm that there is no difference. If the difference is still there, the treatment is repeate

Supposing the left nipple measurement is more, then the left knee is pressed, and so on.

GOD Willing this is a very very sure and effective treatment.

3.MASSAGE :Normally, elders have good knowledge about this method. Some people cure this by massaging the area near the

navel. Make sure they have proper knowledge of massage otherwise, further damage may result.

Also massage is applied to different areas of the legs, corresponding to acupuncture points. When this method is us

a piece of string is tied around the big toe, to keep things in place.

Another method involves an herbal pack placed on the stomach.

These latter methods are local Indian methods, usually practiced in the villages. They provide good treatment, but f

to prevent recurrence. They can be used successfully in conjunction with Yoga Asanas.

The person getting massage should lie down on his or her back. The massager should then put his three fingers

excluding the little finger-and the thumb into the depth of the navel to feel the pulsation. The pulsation shall be

registered by the middle finger. In case of every healthy person, if pulsation is not felt, let the subject relax, and re

your own fingers.

Try to feel it again if no pulsation is registered by either of the three fingers the subject will be having problems of

stomach-and intestines. Some effort to bring the dislocated nerve back in its original position is to be made suckin

the air through a blower-causing vacuum set the nerve in its right position. This method should be properly learntfrom an expert before exercising it on any subject in massage. Then the massager should pour the oil into the nav

until navel is full. There is a folk belief that a deep navel is a good quality navel. Protruded navel is supposed to b

demonic-and persons having bulging navels are eternally dissatisfied. The navel is also the Centre of gravity. In

human body there are many lymph nodes in this area, and circular movement clockwise given by the massager he

circulation of digestive fluids in this area. The massager should then press on both sides at the place where the rib

cage ends.

On the right side of the person getting massage is the location of his or her liver and on the left side his or her

stomach is located. Pain experienced by the subject on any side during the gentle pressing by the massager indicat

problem in that organ. Pain experienced on the right side indicates problem of liver, and pain experienced on the l


6/19

side indicates swelling on the mouth of the stomach. The massage in these areas should be gentler than the normal

massage done by the massager.

Massage the navel area in increasing circles thoroughly. Then massage under the rib-cage from inside to outside a

shown in the diagram. After working in the area above the rib-cage pay a little attention to the cartilage bone whic

is joining the last few ribs in the centre of the chest. Circular movement here helps depression. Massage the top of

the chest in circular movement going downwards on the inside, and upwards on the outside. Massage of the breast

slightly different from the massage of the chest. While massaging breasts go around the breasts in circular movem

making your circles gradually smaller till you reach the nipples. This gives proper shape to the breasts. pull the

nipple both in men and women with a little pressure given by the thumb and the forefinger. The pulling should be

done lightly, but excite all the fine capillaries of blood vascular system, and increase circulation of lymph as there

a network of lymph nodes in this area.

End the front massage by asking the subject to sit down comfortably. Massage the shoulders and neck of the subje

from the back side. Also do the armpits and put oil there through your fingers.

4.CANDLE OR LAMP METHODLie down on bed. give a light massage of oil (any oil will do) in region around navel. Light a oil/ghee lamp, whos

size should not exceed one inch by one inch base, 2 inches height. If oil lamp is not available, use a short piece of

candle, stuck to a coin not exceeding 1 inch by 1 inch size. Light the lamp and put it on navel, centering on navel.

Now take a water glass (300 ml) and put on the lamp, such that no air flow to lamp is possible. Apply light pressu

to avoid leakage of air inside. The lamp will extinguish due to lack of air and the vaccum resulting from this will

make a tight seal between glass edge and skin. Now if you pull glass away from the nozzle in vertical direction, th

skin of stomach will also get stuck to inside of glass and will get lifted. Pull with large force, and after few second

the air leakage will release the skin back. In this process, the displacement of Nabhi-Chakra gets corrected.

This experiment can be done by patient himself, without anybody's help and is safe.

Precautions:

The oil quantity in lamp should be very little, else hot oil may spill on the sensitive skin of the stomach.

Transparent glass is desirable instead of stainless steel glass. However, steel glass produces better seal.

5.THE JUMPStand on the edge of a bed....facing the bed...on your toes only ......and jump to the floor ...landing on your toes only

(not full feet). Do it 2 or 3 times. Can give time gaps in between each jump. This will cure.

You have to jump from a height of 1.5 to 2 feet depending upon how high your bed is. Yes you have to jump

backwards on your toes only....not full feet....on the hard floor so that your toes get the feel of an impact by which tnerve slides back into its original place.

You can also stand on a sofa and jump to the floor from it. Keep trying as many methods as you want....but there is

better way. Can give time gaps in between each jump.

This is a simple and proven method of relief restoration and it works.

Repeat it again after one week for a lasting cure.

There is another method using the same principle. Stand erect with your back to a wall. Slowly raise your heels

alongside the wall to a maximum height. Suddenly let the heels fall with an impact on the floor. Do it several times

The impact of the heels hitting the floor does the reset of the navel.

6.TRIBAL METHOD :Crotolaria prostrata Rottl. Bilaiban:

Oraon and Korwa tribes of Madhya Pradesh made the twigs of this plant into pieces and used in nabhi treatment.

Bilaiban appears to be a local name. Some twigs are available with the pansars of Hyderabad (Nampally area). N

sure whether it is the same, but these twigs have a very great soothing effect while there is a dislocation. It is said th

this twig is to be placed on the pulse veins below the wrist and kept there for a minimum of three days. The

shopkeepers do not know the name of this twig. Some people bring it from the forest and sell it to the shops. It is v

cheap. We have to ask for twigs used for naaf problem and they will give it. A contraption with an elastic tape an

wilkrow can be made and used.

7.SUCTION PUMPNabhi Pump

Surgical

INDICATIONS : Best to use before heat and pulse therapy.

8.VACUUM METHODThe vacuum method can be tried with empty stomach at any time. Regarding the other methods, yes the can be

tried together and there would be no issues. Other poses which you mentioned are also good.

Another technique which is used is creating vacuum for setting the Solar Plexus back. Make the patient lie on a

surface with the navel exposed. Place a burning lamp on the Navel and carefully cover it with a glass tumbler.

Useful to make vacuum for navel imbalance. Based on vacuum therapy, use on fatty -

flabby area to remove fats.

Place the cup exactly in the centre of navel and create suction slowly with the help of

the pump. When the cup sticks to the body. Allow it to remain until it gets removed by

itself. This suction created pulls the navel to its original location. Try a couple of times

and then test.


8/19

After sometime all the oxygen will be burnt up in the glass and the lamp will be extinguished. This will create a

vacuum and it will pull back the Solar Plexus back to normal position.

9.TALAH METHOD (Tibb Arabi)Apply black seed oil and massage the area around the navel by gently pushing it towards the centre with your

thumb.

Apply the following bandages to strengthen the navel area.

Bandage 1 : Bandage 2 : + + + + + Maajoon : + + Early Morning : + +

10. SOME OTHER SIMPLE METHODSa)

When you are empty stomach stand straight then put your thumb on your nose tip and then bend down antry to touch your navel with your smallest finger.

b) Lie down and join both feet and try to raise them and see if you feel any kind of stiffness in your navel.Remember to eat something soon after doing exerci se and stop str essing about it, because more you are

worr ied about i t more stressed you wil l be and more bloating and burping wi ll happen.

c) While most experienced Vaidyas correct nabhi displacement by just inserting thumb or first finger inside amoving it towards head or legs of the patient depending on the requirement, such a technique is difficult

a patient to adopt on himself or for a relative to carry out. Here a simple method is given which will corre

the displacement, and will do nothing if pains/loose motions are due to different reason.

d) Join both your palms together and try to match the lines of both palms and base of the little fingers with eaother. If the top lines do not match it indicates imbalance in solar plexus. Another method is to make the

patient lie on a flat surface and joint the toes of both the feet together. If there is imbalance then the one othe toes will be taller than the other.If the pulse and navel are together, the position is correct.

When measur ing the position with str ing, care shoul d be taken to ensure that the body is correctly ali gned.

the navel has moved up, there is good chance of constipati on, vomiti ng or feeli ng of nausea. I f the moveme

is down then diarrhea wil l exist. Whi chever way it moves, there is always pain in the abdominal area which

may extend into the back, buttocks, thighs and calves.

e) Some people cure this by massaging the area near navel, pulling some muscles of armpits, tightening somthread around toes etc.

f) Copper rings are placed at the neck of the toes, so that a little pressure is applied to the neck of the toes, buat the same time no discomfort should be felt. This method is used by one Mr. Azeem Surrati who has a

small cloth shop in the Russel Market area, Bangalore.

g) Let the patient lie down on back on a flat surface. Arms straight on side, feet straight . Check the toes thekeep your one hand on the knee of the leg whose big toe is on lower level and with other hand keeping thelong finger between two big toes try to pull the one which is lower. Repeat this action 2 to 4 times till both

the big toes come in level.

h) Lie down on back on a flat surface without pillow. Arms on sides. Both feet together. Draw your breath in.Now raise both feet together to 90 degree. Dont allow the head to lift. While exhaling, without bending kne

bring both feet together slowly on ground. Till you feel the vibrations in the central place of navel, repeat 5-

times. Feel the throbbing. Some people may not be able to bring it at 90 degree. Let them raise as much as th

can.

i) Lie down on back. Arms on sides. Exhale and then inflate the stomach to the maximum. Keep in this pose t

it is comfortable. Do it daily for say up to 10 times till the navel comes back to normal position. In between

slight pressure on top and bottom side of navel.

j) Sit down on ground or bed. Feet spread straight. First lift right leg and fold and keep it on the left leg. Then

with right hand press the right knee towards ground. Repeat it with left leg also.

k) Lie down on back. Arms on sides. Exhale. Then while inhaling expand the stomach like a balloon. Remain i

the pose till it is comfortable. Repeat at least 5 times.

l) By putting up a small lamp/candle on the navel (a coin or something can be put on navel as a base to hold the

candle or lamp. Cover with a metal glass and press it for a minute. The air inside will burn out and a vacuum

will be created. This vacuum will bring the solar plexus to the center. Then lift the glass from one side after


10/19

one minute. Sometimes the glass will automatically fall. Repeat this 3 to 4 times till the throbbing is felt at t

center.

m) Keep your right palm on the joint of left hand elbow and hold hard the muscles there. Then with a jerk bring

the left hand and try to touch the left shoulder with the open thumb.

Repeat 5 times. Then check if the solar plexus is in order.

This is one of the easiest way. So it is advised to do so every morning without worrying whether the solarplexus is in order or not.

Due to severe gas trouble, weakness of intestines, lifting of heavy articles, sometimes there is frequent shifti

of solar plexus. In such cases, it can get shifted in the afternoon even though, it was corrected in the morning

The following should be done.

n) Take a little string (thicker than the sewing thread) and tie eight to nine rounds of this thread around the base

big toe. It should not be very tight. Ask the patient to keep it on for a minimum of 3 days. The solar plexus w

remain in order. During this period, if there is unbearable pain in the big toes, then only, this string may be

removed. Once the solar plexus is corrected, the patient or anybody else can check it say twice a week and

correct it, if necessary.

Whenever the complain t about constipation or loose motions comes, fi rst check the solar plexus and corr ect it , if

necessary. For any problem of any organ below the diaphragm or above the diaphragm li ke heart , please check up t

solar plexus and correct it , e.g. pain in abdomen, stomach etc. or pain in chest/heart or even in case the medical

adviser i nforms that the heart i s enlarged.

11. BY BALANCING CHAKRASSolar Plexus : This is also known as `Nabhi Chakra'-the controlling centre for all the organs below the

diaphragm. Methods to confirm whether the Solar Plexus is in order or not : (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 theart. That means the system is O.K. (2) The distance between the right nipple and navel and the left nipple an

navel will be equal when Solar

Methods to bring to 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.


11/19

(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 if 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

hold the candle), cover it with a metal glass and hold it for a minute . 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 this three or four times till the throbbing is felt at the centre).

(5) Lie down on your back, keep the arms on the sides and the head on the ground without pillow. Lift both th

legs and bring them up to 90 degrees from the ground. Afterwards bring the legs as slowly as possible on the

ground keeping the legs straight without lifting the head from the ground. Repeat the same 5 to 6 times and fe

the throbbing. "Whenever the complaint about constipation or loose motions continues, first check up the Sola

Plexus."

Tai Chi Exercise

Here is a Tai Chi exercisethat will help with energy centering.

Preparation: Stand in the mountain (tadasana) (with feet comfortably apart.). Your knees should be ever-so-

slightly bent, so that you are standing relaxedly, and your shoulders should be back, without being too far back(This position is a foundational yoga asana, and you should have learnt it, and you should know the correct

feeling.)

Exercise one "embracing the moon"

Part 1: Lightly touch you fingertips in front of your loins with your elbows bent, so that your arms form an

arc, the curve running from your elbows through your curved wrists and hands. Now raise your hands - keepin

them in this position - until they are in front of your chest. There should be a near-circle formed by your arms

and through your back. (Hence "embracing the moon".)

Now focus on your chi flowing vertically through your chakras, and think each of your chakras radiating into

"moon" cylinder, starting from the base, and continuing up, until each energy center feels radiant.

You SHOULD feel your energy centers righting themselves, and you may find yourself adjusting your postur

slightly as your chi comes back into alignment.

Do not fight the aligning of your chi. You may feel your energy centers are not exactly where you expect them

to be, or where you think they should be. That is okay. Let your chi find its centers.

Part 2: Lift your hands from there horizontal position up over your head. You should feel your hands align w

your seven chakras. If they do not, there is possibly something wrong with your posture. There shouldn't be, a

your chakras should have aligned in step one.

To finish, bring your hands down in an outward motion.

When done correctly, your entire body will have a sense of tranquility.

While Tai Chi is not strictly yoga, I have found it augments our asanas remarkably well.

There are other Tai Chi exercises, but this one should address the problem we are referring to.

3.) Next, raise your feet about six inches off the ground. Point your toes forward away from yourself.

4.) Raise your head a bit, and try to stare at your toes. You should feel some tension on your abdominal muscl

able to increase your duration of this pose.

12. ACCUPRESSURESolar Plexus is the abdominal brain. The solar plexus reflex point is one of the most powerful points in foo

reflexology. Within the physical body, the solar plexus is found right in the middle of the upper half of the trun

of the torso, where the rib cage comes together at the stomach level in front of the diaphragm.

On the feet, it can be found if you draw an imaginary line from the second toe

down, below the ball of the foot, right within that hollow. It can also be foun

you gently squeeze the top of the foot inward. You should find a little dimp

space- thats the solar plexus point.

Energy (Point No.32):

You can also try inhaling as you press in and exhaling as you release out.

If you have been under a great deal of stress, this reflex point may be sensitive- so work gently and

compassionately at first. As the sensitivity dissipates, you can gradually increase the pressure. Youll be amaz

at how you will immediately feel a stirring within the center of your body.

This reflex point is great for relieving insomnia, stress and anxiety. However if you are feeling a little low in

energy this point will also help to increase energy levels. Reflexology will always work to balance the bodyfrom any extreme.

Personally, I use this technique right before I go to bed each night and upon awakening in the morning. It has

always given me whatever I needed in that moment.

When you feel tired or have passed sleepless nights, you will feel pain on the point, which means recharging i

not done properly. It is essential at such a time to give treatment on that point and drink lukewarm water,

preferably Health Drink.

Webs: It is necessary to apply pressure on the webs, the large one is situated between the thumb and the first

finger and the small ones are between the fingers. And so also between the toes. These webs are the starting

points for the nerves and so pressure should be applied on these points daily.

Method of Pressure: According to this therapy, pressure is to be applied on and around all points on the two

palms and soles only. That will send the current to the corresponding organs and activate them. When you pre

Point on the thumb, the current will flow to the brain. When you press deeper on the point of any of the

endocrine glands which are called the controllers of all organs, the current is sent there and it corrects the

function of that particular gland i.e. if the gland is functioning less effectively, it will be activated and

normalized. However, if it is working more vigorously, it will reduce its activity and bring it to normal. Thus

simply by applying pressure on the points of the endocrine glands, we are able to control these glands. Pressur

can be applied by pressing with the thumb or the first finger on the point or with unsharpened pencil, etc.

by massaging that point and around it clockwise. The pressure is to be applied intermittently like pumping a

continued pressure is to be avoided. This action is to be repeated for 1 to 2 minutes.

How much pressure to be applied:

The pressure to be applied should be just enough for you to be able to feel it. However, on all the points of the

endocrine glands, viz. Points which are situated in the middle of the body, deeper pressure is to be applied. Th

can be done with the vertical thumb or with an unsharpened pencil or a wooden stick. Except on these points o

endocrine glands, pressure is to be applied on all other points by keeping the thumb horizontal. Our body is

divided into two parts-the right side and the left side For anything wrong with the organs or parts on the right

side of the body, treatment is to be given on the corresponding points of the palm of the right hand or the sole

the right foot, and vice versa on the left side. Further, the body is subdivided into front and back. For the Spine

Nerves, Back, Lower Lumbago, Sciatic Nerves and Hips, pressure is to be applied on the back of the palms an

soles. But for all other organs and endocrine glands, the pressure is to be applied on the palms or soles. For the

You will find that if you soak your feet in hot water it will give you a

delightful sensation of relaxation at the level of your solar plexus. This is

why there is importance for the foot bath. Its a wonderful way to

influenceWhile seated, bring the foot of your choice up and over the

opposite knee and allow it to comfortably rest there.

With the opposite side hand, use your thumb to press in and slightly

upward on the point (hold for 20 seconds). As you slowly release

pressure, dont loose contact with the point; just relax the pressure.Repeat this 3 times and then move to the opposite foot. and strengthen

the solar plexus.

treatment of any disease or organ, pressure is to be applied for 1 to 2 minutes and this is to be repeated three

times a day. The treatment should be continued till the pain on that point subsides.
