solar plexus point

in reflexology there is this amazing point called the solar plexus. it lies nestled in the center of your foot tucked up under the ball of the foot in the body land marks of the metatarsal phalangeal joint (the place where the toe bones meet the long bones of your feet)

this magical point corresponds to diaphragm, a central nerve bundle, part of the digestive system and more.

today who i rested my thumbs on this point i paused for a space and time, longer than i might normally pause.

and i was rewarded with the entirety of the clients body sinking deep, deep into the table and taking a huge full breath.

she recognized instantly that something had changed and commented upon it.

sometimes we rush to fix, to help, to heal, when really what we sometimes need to do is slow way down and pause.

it’s hard to work on your own solar plexus point as you can’t really relax deep into to sensations but it you have a friend or partner it is located where the skin of the foot changes color, under the place where the toe bones meet the arch in the center of the foot.

living in our modern world, in the aftermath of a pandemic has been taxing on the nervous system. this point can help you sink back into your own body and can help recalibrate your nervous system.
