Psychosomatics: lungs
Exchange with the environment — and room to live
The lungs handle the body's most basic exchange with its surroundings. When that exchange is disrupted — when you don't get enough room to live, or you are stuck in an environment that doesn't suit your nature — the body speaks through the respiratory system.
Possible psychological causes
- A disrupted exchange between the body and its environment
- Living in surroundings that don't fit your natural needs
- A shrinking living space
- No way to be in full contact with the world around you
Self-reflection questions
- ?Is the environment you're in actually right for you?
- ?What is squeezing your living space?
- ?Where in your life do you feel short of room?
