Answers: Your solar plexus help your lungs move in and out so you can breath.
I am guessing that you are referring to the breathing exercise done at the end of many reflexology sessions.
Solar Plexus has been referred to as the second brain. It has a lot of autonomic control on our internal organs including the lungs. It is also embedded in the diaphragm with has muscular control of the lungs. The solar plexus as a nerve plexus or junction is very susceptible to tension.
The exercise is simple but effective and enhances the relaxation response. The practitioner places their thumbs in the solar plexus area on both feet. They then ask the client to take four long deep breaths.
I have used this technique for thirty years with good success. And it is a good way to signal the end of a session.
Check a reflexology chart for it's location.
