Tears can look different under a microscope depending on their emotional or physiological origin. This idea was popularized by photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher in her project The Topography of Tears, where she used a microscope to photograph the crystallized salt patterns of different kinds of tears. What she found was that tears triggered by emotion (like grief or joy) appeared different in structure from those caused by irritants (like chopping onions) or reflex tears (like those that flush out dust or wind).

Here's a general breakdown:

Basal tears (the kind that keep your eyes lubricated) have a relatively uniform appearance.

Reflex tears (from irritants like smoke or onion) are more watery and contain fewer proteins.

Emotional tears tend to have more complex and varied patterns, possibly due to the different hormones and proteins they contain, such as stress hormones like cortisol.

Release always precedes creation. In alchemy, dissolution comes before recombination. In Ayurveda, Panchakarma begins with preparation and elimination before nourishment. In Amazonian traditions, cleansing rites precede visioning.

I love a good vision board, but we cannot plant seeds in soil that hasn’t been cleared.

🌀 Why Reverse Visioning Works

Traditional vision boards focus on calling things in, asking your nervous system to stretch toward a future vision, and learn how to receive it. Reverse visioning does the opposite. Instead of asking, “What do I want?”
It asks: ✨ What am I still carrying? ✨

The body can’t fully receive new visions while gripping old survival strategies. Letting go is an active biological and spiritual process. A reverse vision board can be a ritual of decongestion.

🐍 2025: Year of the Snake — This has been a year of molting, asking us to outgrow old identities, outdated desires, and survival patterns that once kept us safe but now keep us small. Reverse visioning helps us consciously let go of what the Snake has already loosened.

🐎 2026: Year of the Fire Horse — You can’t ride fast while dragging the weight of the past. Reverse vision boards clear the field in 2025 so you can run freely into 2026.

Will you make a vision board? Traditional or “reverse”? Add more or make space? Let’s talk about it before the year ends!
