Tracheitis, also known as "acute bronchitis," is an inflammation of the trachea, the airway connecting the larynx, bronchi, and bronchioles. When my airways are inflamed, it signifies a sense of suffocation. Air represents life, and feelings of profound sadness and anger may be brewing. I might feel misunderstood by my surroundings, gradually leading to a state of depression. My body is urging me to breathe freely and make room for love.



I feel that my body is not free to breathe freely and make room for love.

Lung ailments like pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, and fibrosis often stem from a deep-seated fear of suffocation or death. Intense anxiety may lead to living within a limited, uncertain territory, with the sense that losing this territory equates to a kind of death, rendering one insignificant. Such individuals may struggle to find their place and navigate relationships effectively. The lungs facilitate respiration, and any malfunction highlights difficulties in transferring oxygen from the air to the blood, a critical function for survival. This malfunction exposes the fear of death that must be confronted and tamed. If you experience chest pain or breathing difficulties, ask yourself if you feel suffocated or oppressed in your life. Do you sense that you're "out of breath," particularly in family relationships? Do you feel limited or undeserving of happiness? Recognize your self-worth and engage in activities you enjoy. Instead of dwelling on melancholic memories, focus on abundance in your life and the positive aspects. Acknowledge that you have the right to your own personal territory, just as others do. Harmony and personal growth can flourish when you reclaim your power and fully embrace life.

Asphyxia is a severe breathing issue that can quickly become life-threatening due to inadequate oxygenation of the blood and the buildup of carbon dioxide gas. It occurs when fresh air is lacking, and stale air cannot be properly evacuated.

Experiencing asphyxia indicates a long-repressed, paralyzing fear that has now surfaced. While this fear may have been controlled in the past, a triggering event has made it uncontrollable. It is vital to reconnect with your inner strength and recognize that you are the sole architect of your life. Become the master of your thoughts and confront the part of you that believes something can terrify you to death. Given the respiratory blockage, consider reading the definition of PULMONS (in general).

Choking is a respiratory disorder characterized by breath cessation or obstruction of air pathways, whether conscious or unconscious. This spontaneous state is rooted in mistrust of life's development and deep-seated fears from childhood. Suffocation may relate to feeling cornered or "fixed," unable to move, and could even be associated with mental fixation on sexuality. The throat often reflects this blockage, linking it to self-expression, creativity, and sexuality. Now, it's time to embrace change, release fixation, and have confidence in life. Take responsibility and stop dwelling on childhood frustrations. They exist, and it's time to integrate them.

Asthma is an intermittent disease characterized by difficulty breathing, which can lead to suffocation. During an asthma attack, the body's reaction to allergens is so strong that it can block the airways, causing wheezing and, in severe cases, even death. It feels like I can't take in enough air, which leads to panic since I can breathe in easily but struggle to breathe out. Do I hold on too tightly to certain people or things? Do I suppress my anger or aggression, to the point where it feels like it's caught in my throat? Am I afraid of lacking something, especially love? Asthma is fundamentally connected to the feeling of "choking," whether in relation to loved ones or life situations. It's a sensation of being limited in my space, and it can even lead to conflicts and confrontations that poison my life. I might use asthma to seek love, attention, or emotional dependency. Asthma, similar to asphyxia and allergies, can make me feel limited and invaded by others in my personal space, making me easily influenced by others and prone to people-pleasing. This inner struggle can manifest as physical symptoms. If I avoid facing my limitations, my self-confidence can turn into restlessness and anxiety. Learning to love and accept myself is the key to healing. Others will support me on this journey. I must let go of the image of a needy person and embrace a balanced exchange of love and self-expression. This is often linked to early experiences, an overwhelming love, inhibited sadness in childhood, and the fear associated with my first breath at birth when I felt suffocated or scared. Breathing symbolizes my independence, and if I struggle with asthma, it may reflect difficulties in taking control of my life and breaking free from parental ties, especially with my mother or spouse. I need to learn to separate from these influences, express my individuality, and open myself to love and life to achieve balanced and normal breathing.






I learn to love myself and to love life.

Congestion is the body's defense mechanism responding to repeated attacks on a specific body part. Different areas of the body can experience congestion:

- The liver represents suppressed criticism and inner irritation that accumulates due to an inability to express it verbally. Feelings of disgust, bitterness, or disappointment may arise.
- The nose (sinuses) may indicate a situation or person causing anger or an inability to feel.
- The lungs may signal a sense of suffocation in family relationships, such as with parents, spouses, or children.
- The brain can symbolize feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate certain people or situations. It might lead to a lack of clarity and agility in decision-making.

Regardless of the affected body part, congestion typically results from frustration, irritation, and anger toward oneself and others. It's essential to identify the current sources of distress in life and take responsibility for them. Expressing feelings openly and honestly is key to preventing the buildup of frustration or hatred. When I am open and receptive, others are more likely to be as well, restoring harmony within myself and my relationships.




I feel in harmony again with myself and those around me.




I feel in harmony again.
