The butterfly gland
Can my path be any more transparent than it is – it is a gland in the form of a butterfly that is producing my metamorphosis.
It is a Stick Figure leading me into the light.
My home is on the water, my city is on the water, and I’m headed to take the waters in Spain this summer for my healing process.
The website for thyroid suggests:
Our stress response can directly influence thyroid function. … Make it a priority to cultivate calmness throughout your day. Deep nostril breathing, meditation, and naps can all bring our stress hormones down. You may also consider simply getting more sleep at night to counter stress during the day.
Tip: Take a warm bath three nights a week before bed and make it special by lighting candles, using special bath salts, or playing relaxing music.
Explore your emotional health
Many ancient traditions believe that the thyroid is particularly sensitive to “bottling emotions” or “holding our tongues”. Recognizing your emotional health may be an important part of supporting your thyroid. As women, we are often drawn to nurturing others before exploring our own emotional needs. Spend time with your feelings. Whether you write them down or talk about them, expressing our emotions is the first step to emotional health.
Tip: Write one sentence a day in a journal or notebook about how you feel.
