What Are The Spiritual Cause of Thyroid Problems?
In this article, I write about the spiritual, or metaphysical, cause of thyroid problems. But first, what is the thyroid? The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland found in the front of the neck on both sides of the trachea wind-pipe and secretes the hormone thyroxin that controls the rate of metabolism.
When the thyroid is out of balance, this presents itself as underactive (hypothyroid), the extreme becomes Hashimoto’s Disease, and overactive (hyperthyroid), the extreme of which is Graves Disease. Stress and your adrenals play a large part in thyroid health. Stress is a collective reaction to a series or one particular painful or uncomfortable feeling. When the adrenals are stressed by a ‘fight or flight’ situation, the thyroid is put on hold.
Energetically the thyroid is linked to the throat chakra, the area of self-expression and personal power. The meridian affecting the thyroid and adrenals is the triple warmer meridian. When under-active there is a feeling of heaviness and depression, whereas when over-active there is an over-sensitivity and being hyper-alert, together with seeing chaos around you. It can be ascertained that there are many spiritual causes of thyroid problems.
The book by Louise L. Hay: Heal Your Body, states the following emotions are behind the thyroid:
- Humiliation
- I never get to do what I want to do
- When is it my turn?
We can go deeper with the emotions that are behind hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroid. Underactive thyroid
Hypothyroidism affects mostly women. There is generally a stuck feeling with a tendency (but not always) to put on weight and feel depressed, tired and a decrease in mental and physical activity, together with low body temperature. A kind of emotional hibernation. They are afraid of taking over their lives, taking charge. and stepping forward to what they want. In doing so can lose out in happiness, health and prosperity. This may have come when finding it difficult to ask for things as a child and eventually giving up. This can be made worse by a lack of forgiveness for those who held you back. Because of that lack of movement, a great deal of unexpressed frustration and resentment can build and turn inwards.
Hyperthyroid. Overactive thyroid
Whereas the underactive thyroid type may feel inactive, the hyperthyroid type can be too busy expanding energy outwards, resulting in an increase in thyroid activity. It is difficult to slow down and there will be a tendency to take over other the lives of those you love as well. In doing so you do not prioritize your own life. There is a strong need for validation from others, especially by those close to you. You have high expectations for yourself and others, together with rage at being left out. The result is a speeding up of bodily activity, causing irritability, weight loss, excessive perspiration and weakness.
According to Narayan Singh in his book Messages From the Body, there is a belief that those with thyroid disease have no right to express who they are, to develop, to put out and apply their creativity to succeed.
Forgive those who you feel that have held you back in the early part of your life or those who have repeated the program into your adulthood, as they have been there to help you to overcome your fear of expression and claim your own power.

About My Work & How I Could Help You
My work as a Soul Whisperer is to help you to communicate with your soul’s needs and desires. Your current health challenges are a result of a build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming, often from your childhood. Your soul expresses these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts. Should you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and harder for you to ignore. They then become manifestations of pain, discomfort or ill-health. Your soul must find a way to get you to take action.
Your Soul probably brought you to my website today!
After more than 30 years as a therapist, I have devised my own unique and efficient ways of assisting my clients back into alignment. This means that, if you chose to work with me, I will look for the emotional or energetic root cause of your health or well-being challenge and together, using the Living Lens we will work on clearing the blockages within your system and bringing back harmony.

TESTIMONIALS
Loreta from Luxembourg. I am so grateful from all my heart to Tony for his help and guidance during our sessions. I feel so free and relieved, peaceful and energetic now. The feeling of stepping in for my own power and feeling wholeness with the universe is such a wonderful thing. My thyroid is now functioning perfectly, my sleep has improved and I have so much joy and positive energy. All the doubts, fears and insecurities have faded away. Thank you so much for being a channel to experience the gift of life so profoundly and beautifully. When you are ready for a change, the master is there for you.
Fiona Pitcher, London. I’m just back home after a two and a half-hour walk in the woods with my dogs. This is just so incredible considering two months ago I could barely walk to the end of the road to post a letter. In April I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and experienced every single debilitating symptom associated with it. Less than two months ago, I had just three sessions with you and truly haven’t looked back. My energy, strength and mental clarity are BACK! I can never thank you enough. What a gift you have.

Read my previous blog on the Hidden Feelings Behind the Common Cold.
I hate my parents! Not only did they neglect, abuse and traumatize me.. and my life, but now I have this awful Graves Disease I don’t want.
I just want it to go away!
I’m tired of all the challenges involved on fixing what I did not break.
Hello Toni,
When there has been early suppression, the thyroid is often the first to complain. By feeling heavy and depressed,
relating to an underactive thyroid, or having to prove oneself, relating to the overactive thyroid. When pushing yourself, it manifests as Graves’ disease, which can create exhaustion. It is at this stage that you could go to the doctor when an underactive thyroid would have been the
prognosis. This is, very often, a temporary state, as there will still be an underlying need to push yourself, creating
a yo-yo situation between over-and-underactive.
The thyroid has many physical and emotional connections: suppressed anger in the liver and hatred affecting the heart.
These are areas that can be addressed. If you want help in calling back your power and taking the pressure off your
thyroid, visit my website.
Warm wishes
Tony Mills
Dear Tony, thank you for such nice article. I strongly believe that any illness is a sign from God for us to pay attention that either our thoughts, emotions or doing is not on the right path. Hence all the causes of thyroid problems you mentioned absolutely make sense. But what if there is not yet a problem with the thyroid, however there are antibodies, meaning they are attacking the thyroid as a foreign organ. What is the emotional/spiritual cause of this? I will be grateful about your short feedback. Thank you!
Dear Irina,
We have been told that auto-immune diseases relate to the immune system attacking itself.
I would say that we attack ourselves due to a lack of self worth that has been triggered
from childhood. We no longer need authority figures to suppress us. We can manage perfectly
well ourselves. This is an area that can be addressed.Warm wishes.
Beautifully written. Thank you very much. I hope to see more articles written by you, Tony.
Your reference to Louise Hay was wonderful!
I was moved to tears because this resonated with me. I’m Taurus ♉️. Taurus rules the throat. I know 2 people who had thyroid issues. Praying for both. One is healed , the other is going to have his thyroid checked this weekend. 🙏🏾
Hello Pauline. Picture and feel positive changes for yourself and others. Warm wishes/
Hi Tony. I just found out I have Hashimoto’s with nodules. Yes, I know the connection of the mind, body, spirit, but…have allowed myself to be silenced from saying my truth to others, who have caused me great hurt. I am scheduled to have a biopsy done on Feb. 13th, which I am very much against. My ENT says that due to the size of nodules and having one solid, that it is necessary, due to fear of cancer. Most likely half if not all of my thyroid will be removed. I had stage 3+ breast cancer in 2000. Doctor wanted to remove both breasts, even though cancer only on right side. I refused and said to do a lumpectomy instead. I was told that I would be dead in six months because I refused chemo/radiation. Well, it took me nine months to regain my health which I used herbal remedies instead, and I healed myself of cancer… I’m still here. The reason I don’t want a biopsy is because when they did the biopsy on my breast, at the time I was “pre-cancerous”. Six months later I was full blown stage 3+! If I had not had the biopsy, I could have possibly healed myself. I learned the hard way that if you have a biopsy on a pre-cancer or cancer tumor, the biopsy opens up the tumor and the cancer cells are released. So, therefore my not wanting a biopsy. I am feeling very confused right now about this procedure/etc.
Hi Christine, you have , in a way, answered your own questions. Your own inner wisdom it telling you what to do. Als, it is the fer of an outcome that enforces the problem. To see yourself looking fit and healthy as well as feeling it is the solution. You were not allowed to give yourself a voice when you were young, That is now a great gift to give to yourself. Warm wishes.
I found out I had hypothyroidism when I was about 20. I believe I had it sooner be the doctor said my thyroids where large however the doctor never diagnosed me. I’ll be 35 next month. I had a check up on them last year and the doctor said everything looks good.
I’ve been doing the healing work for the past couple of years.
I’m here because I had a dream that my thyroids area was sore. I ended up going to the hospital however it was weird. I was going through all these rooms and it was a bunch of people getting married. I even sat down at one of them and went to sleep. I never got to the hospital part of the building.
Hi Mikeala,
Dreams are quite good at showing hidden truths. There is a definite emotion relating to your thyroid in
which your body is trying to draw your attention to. Thyroid problems are very often a result of some
sort of suppression in childhood ( or feeling a parent’s suppression). The result is often feeling heavy
and depressed or a determination to prove oneself and save the world. If you want help with your situation
you can make an appointment at:https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
If you want help with your situation you can make an appointment at my website:
The fact that you saw others getting married reflects some sort of need around marriage as a whole.
Hi Eve, by focusing on what might go wrong gives the problem power. See a doctor instead of worrying about it. I work in helping you to regain your power and value. Warm wishes.
Hey Tony – I’ve had hashimotos since I was 9 years old, I’m 21 now. I’ve managed to get more and more symptoms as the years go by – and intuitively after going down a rabbit hole of all the different medicines people try etc etc – I just felt that this can’t be the way. So I stopped taking medication a couple days ago. I was thinking about booking an apt with you but it’s 4 weeks out. If you think you can be of help and fill me in sooner I’d love to book an appointment, I’ve read the Louisa Hayes book and have done some of the exercises :).
Hi Marcus, Hashimoto’s is the result of either your childhood suppression or you have felt a parent’s childhood suppression. I feel that we could work together on improving your condition when you book an appointment.
Warm wishes
Hi, I have thyroid nodule on my right side of neck.
But my thyroid function is fine. What shall I do and why?
Hi Rosetta, although your thyroid function is fine, the thyroid is trying to reflect your suppressed, painful feelings from the past. The throat and thyroid relate to power that have somehow been suppressed in your former years. I can assist you in calling back your power,
allowing the thyroid to ease back to normality.
Hi Tony,
I have the same issue. What can I do about it? The doctors have said I can do oblation.
Hi Sarona,
If you book a session on my website we could work on your condition together. By working on thee emotional and spiritual cause there is a good possibility of improving the quality of your life.
I’m 57, live in Australia and have hypothyroidism. I also live with depression and severe social anxiety. I am terrified of speaking in a group of people. Afraid of being judged or shut down. I was unable to speak any truth growing up and still often experience pain and blockage in my throat when trying to speak or sing. My mother was very controlling, physically, mentally and emotionally abusive.
Hi Annette, your situation with your thyroid is a classic suppression of your power and expression. When you realize your true value and power the physical and emotional challenges can heal. This is very often caused by unresolved emotions coming through from a female ancestor who had unresolved negative emotions which are manifesting through you to be heard and cleared. The throat relates to communication and power, both of which have been taken away from you. Should you like my help to release the root cause of your present condition, you can book a zoom appointment via my appointments page of my website.
Hello,
I’m 39 years old. I have been a type 1 diabetic since the age of 12. I also have hypothyroidism as well. Honestly, I believe that I have experienced both hypothyroidism and hyper thyroid issues. I have experienced truma since the age of 12, such as abandonment, deception, emotional abandonment, low self-worth, stress, over compensating, and problem solver. I have no issues with speaking truthful, most people don’t like it when it is not in their favor. When I am hurt by family, friends and romantic partners, I will distance myself as much as possible.
I don’t trust my own judgment and I’m very critical of myself when GOD has prewarrned me and I failed to listen.
I don’t know a safe place but myself. When I’m by myself I know I am safe, I’m okay and I can be myself. On the other hand I have lost myself. I feel that I have missed or most likely missed out some great blessings of opportunities that GOD has for me.
I will be 40 in March. Changes have to be made. I’m 40 still trying to figure it where truma in child went over to adolescent and adulthood.
Hello Amanda, I can understand how your childhood trauma triggered diabetes, and hypo/hyperthyroidism. God helps those who helps themselves. In other words God is just a loving energy, who will be with you when you take a positive course through your life. Trust in yourself and life can change for the best. I am here to assist you on that journey as I can connect through Zoom. Warm wishes. Tony Mills.
Greetings, Tony.
I am a 49 year old African American woman who is nearing her wits’ end with thyroid management. I am writing to you because I am suffering from Hashimoto’s Disease, with the primary symptom being a large goiter. I am struggling so much with it, as I feel extremely ashamed of how it makes me look. I have tried many treatments, including physical fitness, supplementation (uncluding selemium and Vitamin E), eating for my blood type (A+), and visualization, to no avail. I feel ruined and hideous, and I do not know where to turn.
I have been told repeatedly (by medical doctors in general practice and specialists/endocrinologists) since the initial diagnosis in 2003, that it is just not possible to shrink naturally, and I feel perpetually blocked from any progress in my life because I am no longer physically attractive up close at all.
Can you please advise me on this?
Your power and expression have been suppressed in your former years. This relates to the thyroid. You have drawn people and situations to continue the program. You were made to believe that you were not good enough. However, you were just fine as a little girl. If you want assistance in releasing this program and to regaling your power go to my website for an appointment:

I have have hashimotos and am scheduled for surgery to get half my thyroid removed because the dr say it’s past size if recommended removal idk what I should do.
Hi Tyron, Anything that is life-threatening, of course will need to be addressed. If you have time
you could book an appointment on my website in order to address the reason why the thyroid problem has developed.
An appointment would also be advantageous after the operation.
Tony,
Yes my soul guided me to your page! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyronditis 20 years ago.
Both my sisters developed thyroid cancer.
Currently I am undergoing a spiritual awakening and I feel the disease clearing up! I feel that my kundalini energy is responsible for this!
As I read your words I began to cry! I agree traumas, inner child wounds etc…can manifest into physical diseases and ailments.
My childhood and marriage were difficult. I have forgiven my parents…they did the best they could. I have also forgiven my ex husband and most importantly myself!
All I can say is thank you for confirming what God has been trying to tell me all along!
Wishing you and those reading my comments love and light!
Elizabeth

Hi Annete, sorry to hear about your challenges. There has been a suppression in the region of the throat chakra, which affects the thyroid and many kinds of throat conditions. When suppression occurs as a child there is a tendency to attract people and situations that keep the program going. This suppression is very common, especially in women where I feel I have improved their quality of life after Zoom sessions. Warm wishes Tony Mills.
I was diagnosed with hyper when I was 10 yo and then at 15 yo my parents and doctor agreed on burning my thyroid with a radioactive liquid so then I was hypo and for 25 years have been taking thyroxing.
I have polyglandular autoimunne disorder (pernicious anaemia and type 1 diabetes now). All my life I programed my body with an affirmation of being faulty but 2 years ago I started on an energetic healing journey and now I´m discovering all the emotions related to my unbalances.
I know that stress triggers unbalance so I´m on the process of balancing my nervous system and rewiring my mind to optimal health
Well done Paulina. You are on the right path. Should you like my help to release the root cause of your present condition, you can book a zoom appointment via my appointments page of my website.
I discovered that I have hashimoto few uears back and now it makes a lot of sense after few months during which my opinion was not heard i got to the worst hypothyroid state
Thank you for sharing so intresting
I wish you all the best on your healing journey. Should you like my help to release the root cause of your present condition, you can book a zoom appointment via my appointments page on my website.
I don’t have hypo or hyper, I have nodes and I feel they’re growing. Is there a way to reverse this? what can be the message?
The thyroid represents being repressed or repressing oneself from childhood. The nodes represent growing resentment of the past which might be aggravated by present conditions.
I was diagnosed with hyoer. You are right about the inner turmoil. I hope you can help.
I assume you mean “hyper”. Yes, I feel that I can help. You can book an appointment here: https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/
Hello!
Yes, you are right.
I have been there, suffering with all symtoms.
Now I’m much better. I used tyroxine sice 2011. I felt better after 6 months. But my xpression was not good in the first period of time. In 2016 I had a operation in my back. I stoppet with a lot of medications in the following year.
I had cronic pain for many years. In the end of 1990 I could not sleep a hole night. I was sitting in a chair most of the night. In the Day I was tired and cold. I could not work for 20 years. Had problem with consentration.
Today I feel much better. I can express myself in a good way. I’m a writer, speaker and a singer and can easely preform.
I stopped with medication for a month and feel Even better now.
I think it has something to do.
Maybee I can stop permanently.
What do you think?
Hello Jens,
I canot advise you on your medication, as I am not a doctor. However, it looks like you have taken back control of your own body, which is very empowering, especially after such a long challenging journey. Well done. I am very proud of you. Expressing yourself has released so many f your past blockages. Warm wishes Tony Mills
I have just put together some symptoms in the last month or so. I tend to look at things from a spiritual perspective but neglect the physical point of view. I’m pretty uncomfortable with having a body and tend toward soul/energetic but I think this has allowed me to bypass some things. I recently unintentionally found myself on a vegan diet. I started losing hair my periods have stopped and now I’m putting a few things together- the last month has been super anxiety ridden, but without the physical symptoms I think I would have just chalked it up to spiritual growth. I’m struggling to balance the “real world” physical/medical symptoms with “the big spiritual picture.” My mom has thyroidism but I kind of believed if I was on my path enough I wouldn’t fall victim to manifesting things like this. I ordered a thyroid test and and am going to work on diet, and try what I can to work on throat chakra, but it’s confusing where to put my priorities and and how seriously to take this physically and medically.
Yep, putting things together after your video! Super duper sensitive, need validation. Feel left out and have rage about it. Address/tune into higher realms but really neglect emotions. Yikes, I guess it’s time.
Hi Amanda, our physical being is our soul’s representative. Therefore our physical aspect is very important to work on, as the feelings create the movement. By addressing the suppressed feelings and beliefs a gateway to spiritual transformation occurs. This is the area that I work in..
When I do finally get the courage to speak out alot of times I am shut down which makes me want to scream out. I can’t physically because for some reason my voice does not project. When I am shut down sometimes it is from other women and that is really upsetting. My expectations I think are behind my frustrations but it is ok I still want to yell but can’t. My solution that I am working on is to do those things that I expect of others. Its working little by little. Such as, listen to someone else like I want someone to listen to me. Not be so disagreeable. A person does have a right to there opinion, they just want the opportunity to voice things. It helps with the thought processes. Even if I don’t agree just give someone a safe space to talk.
This is very much a thyroid and throat chakra condition where you have been disempowered and not been given a voice by others. I find a great deal of my female clients have been challenged by this condition. It is a reflection of women as a whole. If you want assistance in improving your quality of life, go to my website.https://energetic-wisdom.co.uk/appointments/ Best wishes.
That’s amazing awareness and giving what you’ll love for yourself
There is another article that I just read on why women have so many thyroid problems. I am from the United States and when I watch the news or anything on TV, I noticed the people “allowed” to voice their opinions over serious matters are predominately mainly men.
In a world where police abuse towards black people gains more publicity than our police sex-trafficking women with regards to police abuse, but yet this is not mainstream news, I can see the lack of expression in women. I also noticed Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who are almost all still alive have less of a voice than the male dominated FBI and police doing the investigations. When your several hundred victims are still alive and breathing, but yet invalidated when they express and document what happened, I can see why women would suffer predominantly in the throat chakra. Because it feels like our voices are not heard and they don’t matter.
The sex-trafficking in America is viciously covered up, while the mainstream news pretends like it happens in other countries or on remote islands, when it happens by our own government and police right here. This is an attempt to heal and express my own throat chakra and the things that I have experiences traveling the states alone as a 20-30 year old woman.
What a great point you are making here, Elizabeth.
You only said true things.
Good for you!
Great points, but just want to point out that many Black and Indigenous women are sex trafficked and/or missing as well. And the reason so much attention is focused on “police abuse towards black people” is because black people are finding their collective voice and demanding justice. These abuses have gone unnoticed, hidden and ignored for decades as well.
I totally agree. Thank you for sharing.
