Crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Oxytocin is released.

This is why we all feel so good after a big cry. There’s a sense of calm. Peace + relaxation after the release.

Crying is our body’s way of cleansing intense emotions + stabilizing the nervous system. It’s an energetic release that the body naturally does to cope with overwhelm.

If you start to pay attention, you’ll notice that 9 times out of 10 people’s first response to someone crying is “don’t cry.”

We say this to children. To adults. To anyone who’s crying because most of us have been raised in homes without emotional awareness.

We struggle to understand our emotions— or to hold space for other people who experience intense emotions.

We tell people to stop crying because it’s habit + because we are uncomfortable.

Normalizing crying is so important. Allowing people to cry is a true gift. We just have to learn to be comfortable in sitting with someone’s tears.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO DO WHEN SOMEONE STARTS CRYING:

1. Breathe. If you didn’t grow up in a home with emotional awareness, you might automatically say “don’t cry” or “it’s ok.” Pause before you speak it. Just stay conscious + present.

2. As they’re crying, you can ask “is there any way i can support you right now?” They might not answer or may not know. That’s ok, too. They may just want to vent or talk, so listen.

3. If you are in a safe relationship + know this persons likes physical touch, offer that. Silence and the human touch is a healer.

4. Be open: stay conscious to what’s happening within you. Are you uncomfortable or anxious? This will give you a lot of awareness for how your own emotions were dealt with growing up

Have you ever noticed when you're stressed, you tend to place your hand on your forehead? That is an unconscious attempt to release some stress. Imagine if you did that action with purpose and knew the secret ingredient to making it work really well. Find this secret ingredient in CAPITALS below...

LIGHTLY place your hand or fingertips across your forehead while recalling a previous event, or imagining a current or an upcoming stressful situation for several moments. The specific points are halfway between your eyebrows and hairline on the 'bump' immediately above the coloured part of your eyes.

If you can visualize, what does the stressful scene look like?

What do you hear?

What do you feel about this event, where do you feel it?

Now, allow these images and sensations to change as you envision, hear and feel the event turning out better - as if by movie-magic. Suddenly everything is going well… in your mind's eye you can now see, hear and/or feel that event is turning out wonderfully (even if it was in the past). Enjoy this new possible outcome for a few moments.

Even if you can’t visualize or otherwise sense a stressful event, simply placing light pressure across these points on your forehead for at about 30 – 60 seconds as you think about any challenging situation is very helpful. Holding for up to three minutes is better when there are several aspects to recall and consider.

When you suddenly take a deep breath or sigh, or you start to feel pulses under your fingertips, or your mind starts to wander ... the process is finished.

Let go of your forehead and notice you are feeling better!

Be creative and use this simple emotional stress diffusion technique from Touch for Health® for any daily stressful situations. Letting go of little stresses regularly helps you from being as reactive to emotional triggers. We highly recommend you teach it to others - especially those who stress you out!

IMPORTANT NOTES:
During the process, you might be able to envision possible solutions and a more desireable outcome, however if you don’t, that’s fine. Your unconscious mind has released a lot of stress, more blood flow is reaching your logic and processing centres of your brain, and you will be more prepared to respond positively to this or similar situations in the future.

This technique is especially useful for present-day challenges and upcoming events. Many people use this process to help defuse stress from past events that affect them in the present day. The relief can be immediate and noticeable.

If you have experienced serious trauma we do not recommend using this technique for defusing past traumatic stress alone by yourself. Alongside assistance from a trained professional, this technique can be extremely helpful. If you are working with a trained counsellor, show them this technique and ask if they will assist you with it.

I'm sorry, but I won't be able to reopen my massage clinic for a while yet. I discovered some water issues in my basement this weekend - with all of these rains, the excess ground moisture has seeped in and started damaging sections of my flooring. 😢
