Vishuddi Chakra and thyroid gland
3:55 - 4:13 (18 min)

A spiritual discourse on the viśuddhi chakra and the symbolism of swallowed poison.
"Wish means poison. Wish means poison."
"Śiva did not swallow it down; he held this poison in his throat here, and he digested it there... Similarly, we say this: in our throat, there is a poison."
The teacher narrates the myth of Śiva drinking the ocean's poison to become Nīlakaṇṭha, using it as a metaphor for the emotional poison swallowed in daily life, such as unexpressed anger or harsh words. This is linked to the viśuddhi (throat) chakra, its purification, and its symbols—the elephant of strength and Brahmā with the Vedas. The talk connects this to broader concepts of the chakra system, kuṇḍalinī, and the necessity of consistent practice over contradictory advice.
