The solar plexus is a complex network of nerves located in the abdomen, just above the stomach and below the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in the autonomic nervous system, influencing various bodily functions such as digestion and the regulation of internal organs. This area is often referred to as the body's "second brain" due to its significant role in processing information and managing stress responses. In addition to its physiological functions, the solar plexus is associated with the third chakra, known as the Manipura chakra in yoga and meditation practices. This chakra is linked to personal power, self-esteem, and confidence, reflecting its importance in both physical and emotional well-being.
