Fluid accumulations
Fluid accumulations (oedemas) are water retentions in the tissue, frequently at the legs, arms or in the belly region. Oedemas can be harmless, but also point to serious causes (heart, kidneys, liver), which is why they should be checked by a doctor anyway. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level.
Our reading
In our reading, fluid accumulations can hang together with the fear of losing something or of not being able to let go. Depending on the place, we read different images: water in the legs – old worlds of feeling that can neither be held nor coped with; in the belly region – lacking hold (see connective tissue). Helpful, in our experience, is to speak out old grief and build up trust.
What does that mean in practice?
- Address what burdens you, instead of “damming it up inside”.
- Attend to movement and a balanced way of life.
