Care for Thyroid Problems
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
The thyroid gland secretes hormones which are essential to all metabolism and growth. For the most part thyroid dis-orders are treatable; however left untreated they can cause serious problems in other parts of the body. Present in most thyroid illnesses are these main 2 conditions, hypothy-roidism (under activity) and hyperthyroidism (over activity).
Signs and symptoms of under activity are weak heartbeat, constant fatigue, puffy skin/and or dry skin, slow mental process, constipation, sensitivity to cold and goiter. Those of over activity are rapid forceful heartbeat, muscular weakness, weight loss, anxiety, restlessness and sleepless-ness, profuse sweating, diarrhea, eye changes and goiter.
Symptoms may not be easily recognized and it can be very slow to progress in the beginning stages. Subtle re-actions in emotions and behaviours may be the only visi-ble sign. Women are 4 - 7 times more likely to have thy-roid disorders. Once diagnosed with a thyroid condition it is necessary to continue life-long monitoring even for those who believe they have been completely cured.

Nithya Dhyaan Yoga
Break Free of Limitations!
Have you wondered why the experience we receive from life is always the same, no matter how much we strive to alter it? Our endeavors to find happiness, success and better relation- ships may yield varied results, but at the end we are almost always left with the feeling that nothing has changed. The reason for this limited experience of life is the behavioral patterns, which are deeply engraved in us. Each pattern is associated with one of the seven major energy centers (chakras) in our system, which subtly influences our emotional behavior. In this intensive 2-day workshop, we learn to apply the four sacred principles of blissful living (integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching), to heal our chakras and go beyond the influence of these limiting behavioral patterns.
