The area around the stomach has always been considered extremely important in the Eastern system of chakras. Now it has gained newfound importance in Western scientific circles as well. Indeed, in 1996 The New York Times reported that scientists had found that the body has a second ''brain"in the stomach! It is actually a network of neurons, neurotransmitters, and proteins called the enteric nervous system. |

The enteric nervous system, and its interaction with the brain in the head, is so complex that it's become a new field of study called gastroenterology. Experts in this area propose that early forms of tubular animals had a single brain located in their gut, because their efforts for survival were food oriented. As animals developed, pathways out of the gut extended to a newer brain, used for more complex needs (such as sex). Eventually the connection between the two brains shrunk to a cable, the vagus nerve. |
