Accidents and bruises
Accidents and bruises are sudden injuries – with a bruise (contusion), tissue is compressed by an impact or pressure, with pain, swelling and often a haematoma. Important: injuries belong to be cared for, stronger accidents medically (in an emergency, call 112 in the EU or your local emergency number). At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading
Sometimes a meaning can be discovered in an accident afterwards: it interrupts something, brings us to a halt, gets us out of a burdening rhythm – and some have experienced turning points in hospital. We understand this expressly not as a reproach and not as an assertion that one causes accidents “oneself”. It is a gentle invitation to self-reflection: What did this perhaps hold me back from? What overburdened me? – no more.
What does that mean in practice?
- Care for injuries properly, in doubt medically – with severe accidents, the emergency number (112 in the EU, or your local emergency number).
- After it has subsided, calmly ask whether the situation pointed to an overload.
- See to relief instead of carrying on at the old pace.

Frequently asked questions
What are bruises?
Bruises (contusions) arise when tissue is compressed by an impact or pressure – with pain, swelling and often a haematoma. Stronger injuries and accidents belong to be medically cared for.
How does the Kyborg Institute see accidents?
We invite one gently to ask, afterwards: what did this perhaps hold me back from, what did I not want just then? That is expressly no reproach and no assertion that one causes accidents 'oneself' – but a stimulus for self-reflection.
