What Happens When You Cannot Tell Your Truth?
Today I want to talk about thyroid diseases, as it is one of the topics that has been requested many times by my followers.
I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue almost 2 years ago, after having been on my healing journey for more than 6 years. It started as a pain in my throat, but as the pain kept increasing, I went to the doctor. There I was informed that I had a severe infection in my thyroid, and that the cure was to start with antibiotics straight away to eliminate the infection and then start another treatment afterwards.
I started the treatment in Luxembourg, and I was told that it could be 3 months before my next treatment. This news shook me as I was very aware of thyroid diseases and their implications. I was also at the time working on my throat chakra and wondered if the two were linked.
During this time of treatment, I decided to do some research on the endocrine system and I also took a deep dive into what kind of limiting beliefs or experiences can cause thyroid diseases to manifest.
After 6 months of deep work, both using the doctor’s treatment and my own healing tools, my results came back clear and the doctors decided to stop the treatment. Since that day I have not faced any more issues with my thyroid. One of things I learnt during that time was that this was a common disease among women, especially after they reached their 40's.
The thyroid is related very closely to your hormones and as your hormones change during this period of your life, what you can start to experience is a roller coaster of emotions and energy which are mimicking or matching the roller coaster of hormonal changes that you are experiencing.
The good news is that you are not at the mercy of this and it is curable. I managed to heal myself with this issue and throughout my research I found lots of examples of people who had managed to cure their thyroid issues without heavy medication or surgery! 😊
The not so good news is that it takes sincere effort and a commitment to your health to overcome these issues. This effort and commitment can only come from you….
It is like being on a path, with stones and dirt and you can only walk barefoot along it. Healers, energy practitioners and channelers are there to help guide you on this journey (like a light or a sign), however only you can decide to walk… or at least this was my experience.
Not being able to tell your truth
What factors contribute to thyroid disease? In the healing space, thyroid disease is always related to “not being able to tell your truth”, and it is often related to our throat chakra.
This explanation makes sense considering how women are raised in our society. Since childhood, we are praised for and learn to be silent, to be a good girl, to be a good daughter. This carries on into adulthood when we are taught to be a good wife and a good woman who doesn’t express her desires or dreams to others. Often when you do talk about your desires and dreams, there are usually people (often those closest to you such as your parents, partner or even close friends) who are ready to attack or put you down.
When I have clients, who are having issues with their thyroid or throat chakra I often get them to start to look for the threads in their lives which could be related. What are the issues that I am not talking about or avoiding right now? Often what I find is that the first issue that comes to their minds, is usually just the tip of the iceberg and we need to dig deeper and deeper to fully realise what is going on and help to release the blocks.
I want to add with a very bold disclaimer here: I am not a medical doctor and I am approaching this topic from the healing and energy side of the body. Therefore if you are experiencing thyroid issues please consult your medical doctor at the same time. Whilst mind, body & soul work together, it is important to remember that alternative therapies are just that, alternatives and not to be used solely as a replacement for medical therapies.😊
How the Universe sends us signs…
What I have come to realise is that there are often lots of signals before we get to full blown thyroid issues to indicate that your throat chakra is blocked.
First signals can often manifest as having a cold or flu, a cough, or temporarily losing your voice. To me, these are little messages that you need to release the energy around the throat. What can happen is that if you spend years of ignoring these signs then then the thyroid hits you with a major ‘wake up call’, or in other words “spiritual slap”. I realised it is really important to own your truth and share it constantly for a deep clearing.
How can you work on your throat chakra to avoid thyroid issues or to heal an existing one?
I wish there was a simple recipe for this! 😀 I really wanted to be able to write a nice “3 Ways To Heal Your Thyroid Disease” newsletter. However, in my own healing journey, I have found that often there are multiple layers of healing that need to occur and what is needed is consistent soul, mind and even bodywork.
