Just kidding about the biohack part, but not entirely.

When we move emotion that’s stuck, we clear up space to receive.

Consciousness moves through us. We’re no longer limited to a narrow lens of life. We expand our capacity. We can get things done.

We’re not using energy to hold the stuck emotion or expression in place. We let it MOVE!

There’s so much talk about being nutritionally deficient, but I believe we’re emotionally malnourished and don’t even know it.

I have a good cry a few times per month, probably weekly. In certain moments, it can be twice in a day.

Sometimes it’s being overwhelmed by beauty, Spirit, art, gratitude, and love. Other times, it’s giving myself a few more seconds of space in a hard situation to let myself feel the wound beneath it vs. bulldozing myself through the moment. (Because crying would be too inconvenient, needy, emotional, messy, vulnerable… you name it.)

Sometimes it’s laughter. Sometimes it’s exhaustion. It also regularly happens when I let myself get super vulnerable with a practitioner or loved one.

And there’s actually a physiological reason we can feel better after a good cry. Crying can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, help regulate us after an emotional spike, and release feel-good neurochemicals like oxytocin and endorphins.

But honestly, I think we need to cry more simply because we need to FEEL more.

We don’t even need to know or explain what it is every time.

Just let those tears move!!!

When I talk to people who don’t cry, I often wonder… are they getting those moments that touch their soul? Are they giving themselves permission to feel the depth and beauty of life?

There’s no right way. But it might be good to notice if you are inhibiting “feeling” in your life.

Because it could be costing you in your relationships, work, and the impact you’re here to have.

When you start feeling more, pure feeling, not mental stories… there’s a difference, your truth, power, delight, and potential in life expand.

With love,
