I have never given crying much thought in greater detail before reading your posts and the benefits that come with the practice of crying. I find my self more able to cry from a moving film which touches a part of the soul. These are more tears of happiness or emotional connection to the film I would be watching. I would see this as working in the same way but with less of self-induced sadness.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and approach to something which I have viewed normally as an area I don't wish to visit emotionally. But as humans, this is a necessity which maybe I should embrace more. Even with moving films which fills me with emotions I tend to hold the tears back. I will certainly be looking to let them flow and encourage them more.
So great to hear it, Slip. Thank you. I wish that I developed crying for joyous or touching reasons in my original post. I don't know why I was so focused on crying due to sadness. As I though more about it, I did realize that I most often cry due to things that are touching. That just happens spontaneously. People in my daily life know me as a person of passion and have come to realize that I live outside the box, so they never know what to expect. The cool thing was watching some of them follow suit and finding it beneficial. Some of them were probably pent up since childhood. Anyhow, thanks again. RM
