The Psychology of the Solar Plexus — Julia Seton (1914)

An unusual 1914 New Thought study of the solar plexus, emotion, vitality, intuition, and the subconscious, newly returned to print by Holographic Pagan Press.

Physical edition: The Holographic Pagan Press edition is a handmade softcover book, not a hardcover.

The Psychology of the Solar Plexus by Julia Seton examines the solar plexus as a center of emotional and bodily response within the metaphysical psychology of the early twentieth century.

Seton links the subject with fear, confidence, personal presence, breath, relaxation, focused attention, intuition, and the cultivation of greater emotional and physical composure. The book is especially revealing of a period in which physiological terminology, mind-body theory, New Thought, and speculative ideas concerning energy and subconscious activity frequently overlapped.

This Holographic Pagan Press edition preserves the character of the original work while presenting it in a clean, large-format reading edition. The handmade physical edition features tan cardstock, black cover printing, and a black cloth tape-bound spine.

This is a newly prepared Holographic Pagan Press edition and not an original antique copy.
