Kidney problems
The two kidneys filter the blood, form the urine and regulate the water and salt balance – illnesses of the kidneys are serious and belong in medical treatment. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level.
Our reading
The kidneys are a paired organ – and paired organs we connect in our reading with the theme of partnership. It is about the question of whether two people grow together into a unity or chafe against opposites. This need not be the love relationship: family, parents and children or business partners belong in this image too. Whether it is rather the feeling-oriented (left) or the intellect-oriented (right) side that is affected can, in our view, give a hint. Criticism, disappointment and oversensitivity too “go to the kidneys” (a German idiom for what gets to someone deeply). These are stimuli for self-reflection, without attribution of blame.
What does that mean in practice?
- Look at burdening patterns of relationship – and, where possible, tackle them in a clarifying way.
- See to balance, enough fluid and recovery.
