태양신경총 solar plexus celiac plexsus

 

The celiac plexus, also known as the solar plexus, is a complex network of nerves (a plexus) located in the abdomen. The celiac plexus is located near where the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta. It is behind the stomach and the omental bursa and in front of the crura of the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar vertebra, L1.

The plexus is formed (in part) by the greater and lesser splanchnic nerves of both sides, and also parts of the right vagus nerve.

The celiac plexus proper consists of the celiac ganglia with a network of interconnecting fibers. The aorticorenal ganglia are often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of the plexus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Thoughts interfere! My mind won’t slow down! I can’t get out of my head!” These are the most common complaints people have when they try to meditate.

 

In our world, we are taught to pay attention to our thoughts in our head all the time. Our minds chatter away with thoughts constantly. This running dialogue is the biggest distraction most people have to being able to meditate. The thoughts act as a barrier, preventing us from entering the realm within. We are taught to focus in our heads, on our thoughts, and that is the problem we face when trying to meditate.

 

Luckily, the solution is easy. Focus somewhere else! We don’t have pay complete attention to our minds all the time. In fact, the focus for meditation should not be in our heads – because that is the realm of our intellect and distracting thoughts. We can easily learn to focus on another area of the body, called the solar plexus.

 

The location of the solar plexus is the place below your chest, but above your abdomen. The term “solar plexus” actually refers to an interlacing network of nerves, located in the stomach area, which connects to all our internal organs. The solar plexus is an important nerve reception and transmission area. Some people believe that while the brain is the processing area for intellectual and physical stimuli, the solar plexus is the processing area for emotional and energetic stimuli.
