Skin
The skin is our largest organ and our boundary to the world. Its illnesses have manifold medical causes; contagious childhood illnesses such as measles, rubella or scarlet fever can have serious complications, which is why a child with a rash and fever should be seen by a doctor promptly anyway. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the skin on an energetic-symbolic level as an organ of contact.
The skin as an organ of contact – how we read it
In our reading, the skin mirrors how we deal with closeness and touch. A disturbed contact with the environment can show itself symbolically on the “boundary surface” of the skin. We assign it to the region of the 4th chakra (heart, feeling) and connect skin themes with sensitivity, fear or the wish for protection. That is no attribution of blame.
