@butterflysWhisper I have a question for those of us to have tried to stay strong for such a long time, that we often (or always) fight back against letting go to just have a good cry. I am wondering now if it is just best to allow the tears to flow. Seems like it could help release stored up emotions. Is allowing oneself to cry as much or as hard as needed a part of Kinesiology?
@@SandraDB2025 Thank you for this thoughtful question! Allowing oneself to cry can be profoundly healing, as tears often serve as a natural release for emotions that have been stored in the body over time. In kinesiology, we frequently observe that the physical body and emotional body are deeply intertwined. Repressing emotions, like holding back tears, can sometimes lead to energy blockages or even physical discomfort. (i have people cry in my hands, most of the time, when we identify the real root problem to their situation) From a scientific perspective, crying plays a crucial role in emotional and physiological regulation. Emotional tears are unique compared to basal (lubrication) or reflexive (irritation-based) tears, as they contain higher concentrations of stress-related hormones such as cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). These hormones are flushed out of the body through crying, which can reduce stress levels and promote emotional equilibrium. Additionally, emotional tears release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators, which contribute to the sense of relief and calm often felt after crying. Crying also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for rest and recovery. Activation of the PNS helps slow the heart rate, relax the muscles, and foster a sense of safety and relaxation. This physiological shift essentially "actualizes" the body’s ability to recover from stress and restore balance. By allowing yourself to cry as much or as hard as needed, you’re actively engaging in a natural, biological process that supports both emotional release and the body's innate mechanisms for healing and homeostasis. 🌟 crying heals, so yes allowing ooneself to cry as much as needed without holdingback is a part of Healing and crying Sending you warmth and encouragement on this journey! 🌟
@butterflysWhisper I feel so upset when I hear of people telling a child not to cry. It breaks my heart. And I know that boys especially are told not to cry and even ridiculed for crying. I had read or heard before that emotional tears contain stress-related hormones, but had not given much thought at all about how crying could help reduce stress levels. And I had no idea that emotional tears release endorphins. Also had absolutely no idea that crying also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. For months I had been trying little ways to calm my parasympathetic nervous system, without knowing that allowing myself to cry could help do that. You cannot imagine how thankful and grateful I am to you.

Wish you a very Merry and blessed Christmas 🧑🎄🌲
