(English)
I wonder if some of the most severe symptoms of corona-virus, such as difficulty breathing and low oxygen levels in the bloodstream, could point, from a psychological perspective, to a concomitant problem in our civilization. The manner in which we are living life is asphyxiating. From the perspective of the collective unconscious, societies and its members are increasingly distanced from their instinctual roots. Across the world, people live a one-sided life that emphasizes intellectualism and that fosters a disconnection from their inner life, especially from the body and its animal roots. It seems as if people may be unconsciously asphyxiating their own psychological life and life in Nature. Both the denial of current Climate Crisis and the high levels of psychological suffering around the world may attest to that. Nature and the inner nature have little room to breath, and their revenge is the creation of an asphyxiating disease in humans.
I wonder what would happen if we stop asphyxiating our inner live and Nature and give them enough space to breath…..and live more fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

(Espa\u00f1ol)\u00a0
LA RESPIRACI\u00d3N Y LA ASFIXIA EN EL TIEMPO DE CORONAVIRUS.
Me pregunto si algunos de los s\u00edntomas m\u00e1s graves del corona-virus, como la dificultad para respirar y los bajos niveles de ox\u00edgeno en el torrente sangu\u00edneo, podr\u00edan se\u00f1alar, desde una perspectiva psicol\u00f3gica, un problema concomitante en nuestra civilizaci\u00f3n. La forma en que estamos viviendo la vida es asfixiante. Desde la perspectiva del inconsciente colectivo, las sociedades y sus miembros est\u00e1n cada vez m\u00e1s distanciados de sus ra\u00edces instintivas. En todo el mundo, las personas viven una vida unilateral que enfatiza el intelectualismo y fomenta la desconexi\u00f3 con la vida interior, especialmente con el cuerpo y las ra\u00edces instinctivas. Al parecer, las personas estan asfixiando inconscientemente su propia vida psicol\u00f3gica y el medio ambiente. Tanto la negaci\u00f3n de la actual crisis clim\u00e1tica, como los altos niveles de sufrimiento psicol\u00f3gico en todo el mundo, pueden dar fe de ello. El medio ambiente y la naturaleza interna tienen poco espacio para respirar, y su venganza es la creaci\u00f3n de una enfermedad que puede asfixiar a los seres humanos.
Me pregunto qu\u00e9 pasar\u00eda si dej\u00e1ramos de asfixiar nuestra vida interior y el medio ambiente, y les dieramos suficiente espacio para respirar … y vivir m\u00e1s plenamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
