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 which, as longer-lasting conditions, are accompanied by a doctor anyway. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level.
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.
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?
- Do not dose iodine high on your own initiative – an over- or underactivity does not tolerate every “iodine cure”.
- See to balance, expression and relaxation, for instance through meditation.
