Rheumatism

Rheumatism is a collective term for many illnesses that go along with pain and restrictions of movement in joints, muscles and connective tissue. It is a serious illness in need of treatment and belongs in medical (rheumatological) treatment. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view and always only as a supplement to the treatment.

Our reading

In our reading, we read rheumatism symbolically as a hardening and tension of the organism – and sometimes of the inside too. Themes such as lasting bitterness, a lack of attention (at times already from childhood) or the difficulty of letting go and yielding can resonate in this image. From our spiritual view, with some people experiences from earlier lives play into it too. That is a sensitive, worldview-based reading – expressly no claim about causes and no attribution of blame: no one is “to blame themselves” for a rheumatic illness.

What does that mean in practice?

• Have rheumatism medically treated – an early therapy is important.
• As a supplement, relaxation methods, a benevolent basic attitude and a loving environment can do good.
• Attend to a balanced diet; food supplements only in consultation with a doctor.
