How in the world could gossiping possibly make you fat? Well, it has to do with your thyroid
gland. The thyroid gland is located in
your throat area and the thyroid gland is part of what controls metabolism. Metabolism
is about how fast we burn calories, that is to say, fat! Guess what else is located in your
throat? A major energy center—the fifth
chakra, the throat chakra.
Talking negatively about other people is very tempting and
sometimes even feels justified. We often
validate our talking about others by calling it "venting" --- but no
matter what you call it, it's harmful to your personal energy system; in
particular, all anatomy in the general area of the neck and throat.
Bottom line, cut it out!
When you talk about others, you are judging and/or blaming them for
something that rubs you the wrong way.
Judging and blaming are extremely negative and causes a lot of harm, namely
to you.
Instead of letting the other person get you down, work on
cultivating compassion and understanding.
Sure, they probably "are" super annoying, but it's not about
you! It's only about you if you let
their behavior get to you. See the other
person as someone in need of understanding.
Perhaps they are suffering in some way.
You just can't know.
What you can know is that any behavior on your part that is
less than "nice" is only hurting you. And, yes, potentially adding a
few pounds to your waistline! From an
energy medicine point of view, it's important to keep life force energy flowing
through the thyroid gland.
Next time you are tempted to "vent" simply shift
perspective for a moment. Can you see
that the person who's annoying you is struggling? Be the bigger person. Someone needs to take the high road. Let it be you. Let your thyroid thrive!
