Serenity Reflexology & Massage

30/07/2025

A little mid afternoon dip into a gorgeous Reflexology book in my collection, saw me land on a couple of pages about the solar plexus reflex on the feet.👣

The solar plexus, also known as the celiac plexus, is a complex network of nerves located in the upper abdomen, just behind the stomach and below the diaphragm.

It plays a crucial role in the autonomic nervous system, helping to regulate the function of internal organs such as the stomach, liver, kidneys, and intestines.

Often referred to as the body’s “abdominal brain,” it is also a key energy center in many spiritual traditions, associated with personal power, confidence, and self-discipline.

Reflexologists give special focus to this point on the feet, so that clients can enjoy the supportive benefits that it offers.

If you’re keen to get this book, it’s written by Stefanie Sabounchian. I’ve popped a tiny photo of the cover of the book in the top corner of my photo.

Day 211
Commitment for truth brings constant happiness.

Contemplation
For the one who is constantly with the truth, there will be no fluctuations in the happiness - experienced by the self and expressed to the others. There is benefit for both the self and others through this. Only when there is no truth, the support of falsehood is taken to prove and defend oneself. The happiness is not retained constantly.

Application
When I am committed towards living by the truth, I will not be influenced by the different situations that I am faced with, but will be able to experience constant happiness. I will never be influenced negatively by negative situations and allow myself to lose my happiness. I naturally find my happiness rising constantly.
Greetings of peace ✌️

According to a recent study, forward head position and blood flow to the brain are clinically observable by taking the carotid pulses and can lead to debilitating symptoms within the brain.

The carotid pulses are weaker when the head is in a forward position; however, the carotid pulses are stronger when the head is over the spine.

When the head is forward over the spine, the brain may not receive sufficient blood flow and oxygen due to compression of the carotid arteries. If this compression is severe enough, it can result in cerebral ischemia (CNS dysfunction). Clinically, we see disturbed sleeping patterns, increased anxiety, and mental sluggishness.

The March 2000 Mayo Clinic reported that prolonged FHP also leads to myospasm, disc herniations, arthritis, and pinched nerves.

Dr. Alf Breig, a Swedish neurosurgeon and Nobel Prize recipient, describes how the loss of a normal cervical lordotic curve creates dysfunction and disease.

Through cadaver studies, Dr. Breig demonstrated that neck flexion could stretch the spinal cord 5-7 cm causing tensioning of the meninges (covering of the brain and spinal cord) and elicit measurable pressure on brainstem nuclei (nerve control centers) which control all basic life functions. (Breig, Alf. Adverse Mechanical Tension in the Central Nervous System: An Analysis of Cause and Effect. 1978. Almqvuist & Wiksell International, Stockholm, Sweden. Pg. 177.)

New studies show that correction of cervical lordosis may be associated with an immediate increase in cerebral blood flow.

Day 210
The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change.

Contemplation
When there is a challenge that brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly.

Application
When I am able to face the challenge of working on my own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation, I am able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness, but I will be able to have full control of the situation. There is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.

Day 209
To let go of worry of the problem is to find the right solution.

Contemplation
When the mind is caught up with any problem, there is a great difficulty in finding solutions. Instead, when the mind is free from worry, it finds the answers that lie within. Whatever the kind of situation or problem, the one who is free from worry is the one who is able to respond to the situation in the right way. Nor does such a person take time in making decisions during challenging times.

Application
When I only continue to worry about my problems, it is like cursing the darkness. It will not bring light. All I need to do is light a little lamp, and I will find the light coming in slowly spreading all around. I find that it is very easy to find the solutions that are already within me.

Day 208
To switch on the power of awareness is to be free from being mood off.

Contemplation
To be mood off means to find excuses and reasons to feel negative - to have negative thoughts for the self or for the others. But if there is a strong, powerful awareness in the mind, a positive thought about the self, there will not be a chance for a negative thought to enter the mind. There will never be any reason to be mood off.

Application
When I am able to maintain a single powerful thought, I am able to remain happy and content. I am not dependent on external situations for the internal state of mind. Nor do I make external situations as an excuse to further weaken my own thoughts. There is constantly a feeling of positivity under all circumstances.
Greetings of peace ✌️
