- “The throat also represents the creative flow in the body. This is where we express our creativity, and when our creativity is stifled and frustrated, we often have throat problems. We all know many people who live their whole lives for others. They never once get to do what they want to do. They are always pleasing mothers/fathers/ spouses/lovers/bosses. TONSILLITIS and THYROID problems are just frustrated creativity, resulting from not being able to do what you want to do.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 127
