Are you aware of the throat chakra? Chakras are known as physical or spiritual energy centers in the body. The thyroid is located in the 5th chakra of the body; the throat chakra. This area is known as the gatekeeper of our personal truth; of our heart. It’s the transmission station of our desires and inner truths, while serving as a communication center for our deepest self. Some believe that thyroid dysfunction is connected to an imbalance in this energy center. When we are not speaking our truth, we are not just withholding from others, but withholding from ourselves. This is an emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental burden.
Healing the thyroid is a multi-faceted approach, and I believe that the throat chakra must be considered in the healing process. For me personally, I was holding back in expressing my creative self, as well as not honoring the need to have time to myself. As a mother, this is commonplace, but is it right? For some, maybe, but for me, I needed to feel relevant in other ways in my life. I love being a mother and a wife, but I was too much of those roles and not enough of others.
When Food and Drink Can’t Satisfy
There was a desire in me to be doing something, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. I was hungry for something I couldn’t eat, and I was thirsty for something I couldn’t drink. How many times do women turn to food or drinks for comfort or satisfaction? I believe that in many cases, there’s valid reasons this in connection to our self expression. Through working with a health coach, I found that I was holding myself back creatively. Would you ever imagine this could affect your health, let alone your thyroid? I am totally convinced that it did. Women are expressive creatures, and when we do not have the proper outlets, it can affect our physical health.
The throat chakra is one of many factors needing considered when it comes to the health of your thyroid. Diet, exercise, hydration, toxins, stress level, relationships, spirituality, and general lifestyle habits must be considered.
