You are ready to speak your truth and listen to others with an open mind.
This affirmation helps to open the throat chakra. This energy center is located in the throat and relates to our ability to listen to others as well as to express the truth of who we are. Sometimes we may feel that we are just "picking our battles" when in reality we are living our lives according to what others want for us. When we suppress our thoughts and feelings to please those around us, we negatively affect ourselves both physically and psychologically.
I have observed that people with thyroid conditions have usually not been speaking their truth for many years before their illness manifests itself. Keeping the throat chakra clear of blocks can help you to be more clear in expressing your needs, and practice expressing yourself can help to keep this chakra clear...so it works both ways! Beware though that self-expression is a two-way street. If you are always ready to express your needs but unwilling to listen to those of other people, the throat chakra and thyroid can still be negatively affected.
