The female breast
The female breast is, organically, the glandular organ that forms milk for the child. At the Kyborg Institute we see in it additionally – on an energetic-symbolic level – a pole of giving and nourishing. Alongside this, one thing is clear for us: breast-cancer early detection is important.
Our energetic reading
In our image, the breast is more than form and function: a place where warmth, attention and life force gather and are passed on – related to the theme of charity / altruism and a balanced giving and taking. Whoever cares well for themselves, does not lastingly overburden themselves and heeds their own energy lives, according to our understanding, more in balance. No one is “self to blame” for an illness.
What does early detection include?
Breast cancer is a serious illness that, recognised early, is today often well treatable. Early detection includes:
- Regularly examining the breast by touch and watching for new lumps, hardenings, skin changes or discharge, which should be checked by a doctor promptly.
- Taking up medical palpation examinations and the recommended mammography screening.
Frequently asked questions
Do children or a particular sex life protect against breast cancer?
No. There is no behaviour that reliably protects against breast cancer. Decisive is early detection.
Is breast-cancer screening sensible?
Yes. Regular self-examination, medical palpation examinations and the recommended mammography screening help to recognise changes early.
What does the Kyborg Institute mean by the energetic meaning of the breast?
We read the breast symbolically as a pole of giving, nourishing and connectedness.
