Metaphor A to Z

The Immune System

The immune system protects the body from invading microbes. When the immune system is triggered, for example by an infection, it is an indication that we are working through some conflict in our life.

Problems with the immune system represent where we are feeling vulnerable and want to plan a defense for ourselves. Yet our defenses are holding us back just as much as the emotions that we are defending ourselves against.

We are caught in a fight, which shows that we are frightened of moving forward. As a result we are not taking the next step in our life.
