Did you know that human beings aren’t the only
animals that feel sadness? Almost all animals
express sadness, depression, and loneliness in
their own way. In fact, almost all mammals
mourn the loss of their offspring. But human
beings are the only type of animal that are
taught self-expression should be tamed or
suppressed. Girls are told to stop being so
“sensitive”, and boys are told to “be a man” and
toughen up. Boys are taught that crying to
much means they are a sissy, and girls are told
crying too much makes them crazy.
We aren’t told that crying is actually essential
and is something we should do more of if we
feel it’s what we need to do to express
ourselves. We develop resistance to crying,
which causes emotional suppression, which
causes psychological and physical
complications. We bottle up our emotions and
expect them to take care of themselves, when
the cure to our problems is sometimes as
simple as allowing ourselves to actually feel
deeply for a moment.
Contrary to what we are told by society, crying
is actually health and should come as naturally
to us as smiling if it’s what we feel in a
moment. Here are some key reasons why
crying is necessary for healing and personal
growth:
1) It clears your energy field
Crying is for your energy field like showering is
for your body. It releases built up emotions and
feelings, and gets energy moving through your
chakras in the way that nature intended. Your
body is not stupid. It knows what it needs to
feel and when. It’s just a matter of giving
yourself permission to feel what you feel and
look passed any social programming or
conditioning that is preventing you from opening
up to your own emotions.
If you feel tension in your energy field, it is
usually because of suppressed emotions and
you are holding on to something. To fully let go,
you can’t just let go in your mind. You have to
also let go in your energy field, and you do this
by stopping the habit of resisting vulnerability
and holding back tears.
2) It allows more to come up
Every time I cry, more and more bubbles up that
I didn’t even realize was there. For example,
anger is a typical defense mechanism to cover
up pain and fear. When you allow yourself to
see past your anger and into your pain, you will
realize that you are only angry because you are
in pain or are scared of being in pain again.
When you realize you are in pain, you will begin
to cry and start to discover why.
What starts off as you crying over seeing your
boyfriend talking to another girl ends up in being
you crying over feeling rejected by all male
figures in your life and how you are afraid of
non-acceptance by males. And crying over this
makes you realize that you really wish your
father would reach out to you, and makes you
realize that you wouldn’t feel so insecure in
your relationship if you repaired your
relationship with your dad. The more you cry,
the more comes up from your subconscious
mind.
3) It prevents serious health
issues
Suppression of emotion can lead to serious
health issues. Bioenergetics is the science of
home emotions and psychological issues
translate into the body and get stored in the
forms of diseases and pain. For example, if you
have a defense system that turns pain into
anger and gets stored in you as anger, you are
literally poisoning your body with the amount of
stress hormones that are released from the
body. 90% of all diseases are either caused or
worsened by stress in the body, and burying
emotions causes hormones like stress,
adrenaline, and cortisol to be produced in the
body.
Crying is a form pf physiological release. It is
the way the body is designed to handle and
process emotions, and when we force our
bodies against their natural reactions, it will
always cause complications somewhere else
within the body. It’s almost like trying to force
yourself not to sweat because you have been
told that sweating is for “wussies”. Sweating is
your bodies way of cooling itself down, and if
you were able to hold in the sweat to try to
seem more manly or less crazy, you would
cause yourself to overheat. The same can be
said with tears.
I've had to cry recently over various things,
sometimes in public and sometimes in front of
family members who haven’t seen me cry
before. The part of me that is socially
programmed wanted to hide it from them, but if
we can’t even feel comfortable being honest in
our words and form of expression with how we
truly feel, society is not worth living in. Don’t
ever feel embarrassed, crazy, or ashamed for
crying for any reason. The reasons for your
tears are always going to me more valid than
reasons to hold them back.
