Thymus gland
The thymus is a gland of the immune system. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read it on a spiritual-symbolic level as a “life indicator” and a link between body, soul and mind. The Greek thymos stands for life force and sensitivity.
A symbolic reading
In our reading, the “thymus area” reacts finely to what surrounds us: warmth, laughter, embraces, nature, music and loving encounters do good; violence, lasting stress and burdening images less so.
“Laughter is medicine”, it is said – and closeness and affection do most people good. We mean this as a life-affirming attitude.
