Allergies
Allergies are excessive reactions of the immune system to actually harmless substances – from hay fever through skin reactions to asthma and, in a serious case, an allergic shock, in which you call the emergency number at once (112 in the EU, or your local number). At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on a soul-related level.
Our soul-related reading
In our reading, an allergy has something of a defensive stance: as if someone inwardly defends themselves against a circumstance they bear only with difficulty. Such images can help to make sense of one’s own experience. Physically, allergies have well-researched triggers.
What does that mean in practice?
- Know your own triggers and avoid them.
- If you have emergency medication, keep it at hand.
- Relaxation and a good environment do you good.
