Crying is crucial to healing. When you cry properly and let the emotion flow through you, your heart space pumps up and down rapidly. This works your prana in a very specific way, releasing mental pain, sadness, heartache, terror, trauma and such. Strong crying results in an open mouth. And your throat wobbles a noise which I cannot find words to describe yet so wobble it is for now. Heart-space contractions and expansions also cause your lower torso to pump in and out as a fallout affect, releasing wounds in the lower chakras.

If you cry authentically within a short time span of being spiritually wounded, you will not embed the wound in your psyche and it will not plague you the rest of your life. But shadow work and authentic strong crying releases even old wounds.

Fascinating that I could find no picture on the WORLD-WIDE web of an adult crying properly.
