Automatic Brain Wash

[Angela]

Something kind of odd happened to me last night, and I wonder if any of you have experienced this...

I had an amazingly wonderful day yesterday, jam-packed with sudden insight, intimate connection, joyful action, deeper understanding in my relationship with Danger Man, sunshine on my shoulders, and just plain fun. We went to dinner and something made me laugh, and suddenly tears were POURING down my face, like a waterfall. I wasn't "laughing till I cry" and they were not tears of joy (or sadness, either) --- I didn't feel any emotion inherently in the tears at all -- it was just like finding myself in a sudden downpour. After about 3 or 4 minutes it stopped and I was back to normal, except a little surprised.

It happened again in the car, and then once more walking to our hotel. DM just put his arms around me and comforted me until the waterworks were over, and I was fine, again, except a little bewildered. I couldn't find any unresolved emotion or really anything except for the fine, happy state of well-being that I'd been feeling all day. This morning I woke up dehydrated but fine.

I just noticed that I had mentioned to Aspiring to Clarity the other day that "I needed a good cry" and yesterday I wished Rose of Cairo so many blessings for her birthday that it would "practically bring tears to her eyes." Now, I'm thinking that I programmed my subconscious mind with these remarks -- that I was unconsciously recognizing a need to do a little purge, and my brilliant subconscious just used those little suggestions to build in a nice, "good" cry. I didn't and don't have any conscious compulsion to offload any negative emotion, but I did go through some emotional trauma recently that maybe hadn't resolved itself, and after having a really fruitful talk with DM, my body was ready to let loose the torrents and just shiver out the residual of the trauma. It was weird, but fun.

Have you ever just had a crying jag like this, where it felt like your body was just handling something for you?

It has happened to me a few times after great sex. I thought it was a way my brain had of processing some emotions. I imagine there are a lot of reasons why that happens. Be well!

[lifetimelearner]

yes-
I like it better when it's triggered by the good days and not the bad ones

I will ask myself-
you are having a good day why are you crying
and than I realized it was probably just joy overflowing

Not exactly, however, I once was the surrogate for a Kinesology treatment (the treatment was performed on me for the benefit of someone else) and after the treament my eyes cried for hours. It was a strange experience to cry without emotion. After the treatment, I went to work and was sent home for crying!

I've never heard of that! What were the results for the person you were surrogating for?

I thought I'd offer my theory? If Kinesology is about muscle testings and such, then perhaps you had some negative energy stored up that you didn't know of? Sort of like the body storing toxins in fat, your body stored the negative energy. It could be as unconscious as your tongue not being relaxed and so forth, or for me, I tend to keep my gut sucked in, and shoulders tense without realizing it. I myself could use a good emotional purge myself. I have a lot of that gunky buildup. Perhaps this could be a completely different product market for Liquid Plumber

I don't feel comfortable going into details about the other person on the forums. Sorry. Angela, I'll send you a pm.

You are right, it was a release, just not mine. Well that is what the practitioner told me.

These were probably tears of joy.
