The psychology of the solar plexus and subconscious mind

Julia Seton’s book links New Thought ideas with bodily symbolism, especially the solar plexus as a center of intuition, vitality, and mental influence. It reflects the period’s blend of psychology, metaphysics, and health reform, and readers will find speculative explanations of the mind-body relationship along with guidance for self-mastery.

Julia Seton was associated with New Thought and metaphysical literature in the early 20th century. She is chiefly remembered for writings that combine spiritual idealism, self-culture, and practical religio-philosophical instruction, rather than for a large canonical esoteric corpus.
