Navel Centre

According to Yogic philosophy, the Navel Centre (also known as Solar Plexus or Nabhi Chakra) is the epicenter of 72,000 energy channels or nadis, within the body. This center can sometimes shift upwards, downwards or sideways, resulting in disturbances to the affected organs. For example, if the Solar Plexus shifts upward, it causes constipation. If on the other hand, the Solar Plexus moves downward, this leads to loose motion and diorrhea.

This concept of Navel Centre dislodgement is not found in any other forms of therapies except in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian Science of Life.

There are several factors that can cause the Navel Centre to become dislodged – lifting heavy weights, strenuous exercises (particularly for women when practiced during the menstrual cycle), childbirth, surgical procedures around the abdominal region, extreme emotional and mental stress etc.

Dislodgement of the Navel Centre cannot be cured with the use of drugs. Nor will this condition show up in any X-Ray or Scan. But if this condition is not corrected, it can lead to a host of very severe ailments, including damaging the digestive and nervous systems.

If a person is suffering from problems relating to the reproductive organs, functioning of the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver etc., it is wise to first check if the Navel Centre is in the right position. Many of these ailments can often be corrected by realigning the Navel Centre to its original position.
