Tears of Healing

I used to be ashamed of crying.

I would hold back my tears in fear of

Embarrassment,

Appearing weak,

Making others uncomfortable.

I wore this ability to hold it in as a badge of honor.

How foolish.

What a disservice to myself,

To deprive myself of one of life's great gifts.

Our tears are a gift.

There are immense healing powers in crying.

They are the most cleansing waters.

Our tears unblock stagnant energy.

They move our emotions.

They create space.

Our tears are Our medicine.

Cry when you feel alone.

Cry when you are angry at the injustice of the world.

Cry when you feel helpless.

Cry when your heart aches for someone you can't have.

Cry when you have to say goodbye.

Cry when you miss someone you've lost.

Cry when you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

Cry when a song moves you beyond words.

Cry when you are overwhelmed with gratitude.

Cry when you're so deeply in love

Cry when you have a powerful breakthrough.

Cry when you look into the innocence of a child's eyes.

Cry when you are overcome with happiness.

Cry when you're exploding with pleasure.

Cry when you realize your dreams have come true.

Cry because you are alive.

Cry for no reason at all.

Cry into a deep state of despair.

Cry yourself into delirium.

Cry until you laugh.

Cry until you feel bliss.

Cry until you are renewed.

Cry for your healing.

Cry for the healing of the world.

Never be ashamed to cry.

Never hold back your tears.

Don't deny yourself this great healing,

This great pleasure.
