The Thymus Gland is an organ of the lymphatic system, responsible for the maturation of T and endocrine lymphocytes, since it secretes some hormones, and despite the fact that it does not seem to arouse great interest, this gland is of great importance for happiness and health. .
The Timo is affected by two basic feelings: love and fear. Thus, if you go through life moving in the range of loving feelings, such as gratitude, trust and courage, the thymus grows and becomes stronger, and at the same time its activity is more intense, which increases your vital energy.
On the contrary, if you live installed in feelings derived from fear, such as anxiety, worry, stress, etc., the Timo weakens and slows down its activity, also depriving you of its energy flow. It is not by chance that it is considered the master key of the energy system.
The power of the thymus gland and the key to happiness
The thymus gland is in the center of the chest, behind the breastbone, where people touch when they say “I.” Among its characteristics we have that this gland grows when we are happy and shrinks when we are stressed and even more so when we get sick.
Regulates and controls the flow of Lymph throughout the body, the Lymphatic System extracts foreign materials, toxins and waste from cells, dragging them into the bloodstream for purification and elimination.
The Thymus regulates and controls the flow of energy through our own energy body, implementing corrective measures to regulate it, counteracting imbalances as soon as they appear and thus reaching the maximum balance of body energy.
The Thymus Gland constitutes the link between the Mind and Body, being the first organ to be affected by mental stress. The Timo Gland has always been the headquarters or seat of Vital or Thymos energy. A healthy active Thymus Gland contributes to positive vibrant health, with a strong Immune system.
Processes carried out by the Thymus Gland in our body
- If our body has toxins or microbes, the thymus gland immediately produces defense cells.
- It is sensitive to words, thoughts, images, colors, lights, tastes, sounds, gestures, touches.
- The feeling of love affects her positively and the feeling of hate affects her negatively.
- Fear and negative thoughts affect her more than viruses and bacteria. The Timo weakens as she tries to fight off an unknown invader making room for low immunity symptoms like “herpes”.
Faced with a situation that causes sadness, pain, stress, etc., the thymus gland shrinks, which is why we express “my heart feels tight”, “I feel a pain in my chest”, when we are sensitive and vulnerable due to some situation for which what we are going through
We think that the heart is responsible for feelings, emotions, decisions, the way of speaking, listening, the state of the spirit, etc., but this reaction is the effect of the thymus gland in the face of a situation or negative thought that causes sadness, pain, stress, etc. and that energy surrounds the heart, which is almost attached to the thymus gland.
The thymus gland and the heart chakra
Anahata or heart chakra It is related to love, compassion, balance and well-being. The heart chakra controls the thymus gland and influences the lungs and respiratory system, the heart and circulatory system, the immune system, and the lymphatic glands. Symbolized by a lotus with twelve petals, green.
From the heart, love and compassion, acceptance, gratitude and altruism, respect in relationships and the search for a social identity, asking, giving, receiving, peace and harmony and the sense of responsibility are manifested. In its central part, at the height of the sternum, it manifests itself as security and self-confidence.
When this Chakra is open, it produces a strong feeling of security, love towards others. When we feel love, life seems to take on another color, we love each other and take care of ourselves more. Love encourages us to include other people in our lives.
The heart chakra is an energetic point of union and compassion but it is connected to the Thymus Gland more than to the heart itself; According to Buddhist teachings, the transition from the animal state to the human state occurs in this chakra.
