I find that when walking my dog, if I move from my solar plexus and try to sense his, we walk much better together! While the ribcage and shoulder girdle are closer to the neck and head than the solar plexus is, in some ways our solar plexus is more connected to our head than our shoulders are.
The muscles and nerves that run along the spine connect our head and eyes to our solar plexus. The neck, head and solar plexus can be going in one direction together, while the arms are still free to do something else. Tension in the tongue, jaw and throat often connects to tension at the solar plexus. If you have trouble with your neck and shoulders, you might need to do some work in the solar plexus area! For many people, the relationship of the spine to the ribcage at the solar plexus needs some adjustment.
People with experience in Pilates have usually been given the cue to connect the front of the ribcage, sometimes even with the image of a corset. However, filling out the back of the ribcage does not mean pushing the mid-back backwards. The shape of the ribs allows them to open behind the spine.
This means that while taking a deep breath the spine at the solar plexus can still maintain its natural shape, which is a continuation of the arc of the lumbar spine below. Basically the natural arc of the lower back is much longer than most people think it is. Test Your Vocabulary. Test your vocabulary with our question quiz!
