When was the last time you cried, FULLY cried? I mean the gut wrenching wringing crying of your physiology, heart and soul?
How about
laughter? When was the last time you FULLY let go into the laughter of your
soul? The kind of laughter where you tapped deeply into your belly, and all that
you were tightly and protectively holding onto? Welcome to my week!!
Did you
know.... that when you laugh ALL parts of you connect? All parts of you come
together as one. It's the same with crying. All parts of you connect. They are
unified, and in that one moment you have an Authentic Experience of You!
Doesn't that sound fabulous?
Doesn't it sound freeing AND fun?
So, what's the alternative? The alternative is numbness. The alternative is to get into
your head and constantly evaluate who you 'should' be, whether it's appropriate
to laugh in a particular situation, and/or whether you have time to cry, mess
up your face, or have people see you REALLY don't have it all together!!
The alternative
is to deny, stuff and hide the full expression of your feelings and your
emotions, which then creates tension in your body, anger in your heart and
numbness in your soul.
When life
is practiced this way, eventually the stuffed, hidden, denied and suppressed
energy has to be released. This energy finds a way to express itself, possibly
in physical, emotional and/or mental illness, or life shocks you with a pebble,
rock or boulder in your path presenting as a challenge or life altering
circumstance.
I for one
am raising my hand for laughter. I'm raising my hand to cry. I am raising my
hand for healing, AND expressing the Authentic Experience of Me!
As some
of you may know, I refer to myself as a 'wailer'.
I LOVE to 'wail'. I have days where I feel sad, and I am down. And, I am
completely unclear about how come I feel this way. There is no logical reason
for my melancholy. On those days, I literally go with my crying flow. Whether
on the floor, in the tub or sitting by the ocean, I cherish those moments of release,
healing and connection with my soul.
I've
learned as I've grown and evolved, that these are the sacred moments of my life
where I get to 'let go and let God'.
These are vital moments of surrender that carry the possibility of release from
my conditioning, the release of the tension I have unconsciously held in my
body, and the precious opportunities for healing and feeling fully ALIVE!
How about you? Are you riding the
spectrum of your emotions? Or, do you hold back the tsunami of your tears of pain or
bounteous laughter like a cork under water?
Given you
find yourself right on the edge of release - whether laughing or crying - I
invite you to go for it. Go with the flow. Let the frig' go! Feel these precious
and sacred moments of release. Experience the full expression of who you are.
Experience the Authenticity of You.
'Don't bend; don't water it down;
don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to fashion.
Rather, follow your most intense obsession mercilessly.' ~ Frank Kafka
In
closing, allow me to share one of the beautiful, fabulous and bounteous moments
of laughter in my life. To the outside world, we may 'look' crazy. However, to
my inside world, this moment of laughter with my own soul, and my friend Sim was
a healing moment of laughter I'll cherish forever.
Starbucks anyone??!!
