Thyroid gland
The thyroid gland is a hormone gland at the neck; its hormones steer metabolism and energy balance. Over- and underactivity are serious but well-treatable disorders and belong in medical treatment. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading
We assign the thyroid gland to the region of the 5th chakra – the theme of expression. In our reading, someone can, when overwhelmed, symbolically “switch off” (underactivity) and, when under-challenged, “overdrive” (overactivity). Fears and aggressions too we see mirrored here. Often the wish resonates to be taken seriously and cared for. These are pictorial suggestions, no claims about causes.
Inner attitudes that help some:
- With inner unrest: “I manage to cope with my life. I have enough time.”
- With a lack of drive: be ready to look at the uncomfortable too, instead of stiffening in old patterns.
What does that mean in practice?
- Have thyroid values and complaints clarified by a doctor and treated.
- Iodine, diet and food supplements only in consultation with a doctor (an over- or underactivity does not tolerate every “iodine cure”).
- See to balance, expression and relaxation, for instance through meditation.

Frequently asked questions
What does the thyroid gland do?
The thyroid gland is a hormone gland at the neck; its hormones steer metabolism and energy balance. Over- and underactivity are serious, well-treatable disorders and belong in medical treatment.
How does the Kyborg Institute read the thyroid gland?
In our reading we connect the thyroid gland (5th chakra region) with expression and 'seeing through': being overwhelmed can symbolically 'switch it off', being under-challenged 'overdrive' it. That is a personal reading, no substitute for medical diagnostics.
