Heart
Organically, the heart is the motor of the circulation – with signs of a heart attack (severe chest pain or pressure, radiating into arm, back, jaw or upper abdomen, shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, a feeling of mortal fear), call the emergency number at once (112 in the EU, or your local emergency number). At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the heart on a symbolic level as a centre of feeling and inner harmony.
The heart as a centre of feeling – how we read it
In our reading, “the heart sets the tone”: whoever lives too much only in the head and overhears their own feeling more easily falls out of inner balance. More warmth, attention and the letting go of constant stress do good, according to our understanding. No one is “to blame themselves” for a heart illness.
What does that mean in practice?
- Listen more to one’s own feeling instead of living only in the head.
- Breaking down stress, attention and a calmer rhythm of life do good.
Frequently asked questions
Are heart stumbling and rhythm disturbances dangerous?
They can be harmless, but also serious; an ECG, for instance, shows what lies behind them.
How does the Kyborg Institute read the heart?
We understand it symbolically as the centre of feeling and inner harmony. Letting go of stress and listening more to one's own feeling does many people good.
