The Solar Plexus (eBook)

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a prolific writer and an influential figure in the early 20th-century New Thought movement. Atkinson's varied career traversed the realms of law, business, and publishing, but he remains best known for his contributions to the fields of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. His profound interest in the power of the mind and the potential of human thought led to a substantial body of work that includes books on yoga, mysticism, and the esoteric. One of Atkinson's notable works, 'The Solar Plexus or Abdominal Brain', epitomizes his fascination with the interconnection between mind and body, positing the solar plexus as a center of vital force and psychic power within the human anatomy. Atkinson's literary style can be characterized by didactic prose and an empowering stance, aiming to elucidate complex metaphysical concepts in accessible terms for the layperson. He often wrote under various pseudonyms, including Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka, leading to a diverse and extensive catalogue that continues to be studied and admired among enthusiasts of New Thought literature.
