Bozo typically indicates an overactive thyroid gland, resulting from accelerated bodily and mental processes. This gland plays a role in regulating the respiratory process. It is closely tied to the desire to live and fully engage in life. Hyperthyroidism reflects stress, anguish, and intense unexpressed emotions that cause the thyroid gland (located in the throat) to swell. There is a feeling that everything is happening too quickly. This sensation can also arise from feeling suffocated by life's pace. The thyroid gland questions whether it should continue to sustain life. To normalize thyroid function, emotions, desires, and needs must be expressed rather than suppressed. In cases where "bozo" is related to hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland functions insufficiently for an extended period, it reflects a pessimistic outlook and a tendency toward despair. These individuals lack enthusiasm for achieving goals and adopt a victim mentality. They experience significant disappointment and bitterness and feel the world is against them. Developing a more positive attitude and taking personal responsibility are essential steps toward achieving their objectives.

Hyperthyroidism refers to the excessive secretion of thyroid hormones. Please refer to thyroid gland problems.
It signifies hyperactivity and an overactive thyroid gland. Metabolism accelerates, leading to symptoms like hot flashes and sweating. Individuals with hyperthyroidism are deeply disappointed as they struggle to fulfill their genuine desires or express their thoughts. Instead, they respond to external expectations rather than their inner needs. Consequently, they experience resentment, frustration, and even hatred toward anything that does not align with their expectations. They may also heed others' advice while ignoring their inner voice. Hyperactive individuals impose tight deadlines on themselves, which forces them to rush through projects. There is a constant need to move faster. When the thyroid is overactive, difficulties with time management often arise, leading to delays. Eventually, the body delivers a message. Awareness of personal power dawns, prompting individuals to make decisions and act based on their inner wisdom. They realize they are co-creators of their lives.

The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, is directly linked to the throat energy center, known as the throat chakra. It secretes crucial hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine, containing iodine—a powerful antiseptic essential for the body's proper functioning. Without these hormones, life would be unsustainable. Hyper- or hypo-functioning of the thyroid can result from repressed insults or a sense of unfairness in life. Playing the role of a perpetual victim, I might even provoke problematic situations to reinforce this identity. The neck, connecting the head to the body, represents the junction between mind and body. Strong pride that closes the heart can obscure genuine needs. The throat energy center symbolizes creativity, and I must learn to express myself freely, utilizing all my abilities to nurture my creative spirit.
