For a long time, I took pride in being "the strong one." I thought that being emotionally resilient meant I could just pack things away and keep moving. If a situation was stressful or a conversation was hurtful, I’d tuck it into a quiet corner of my mind and tell myself I’d deal with it later.
The problem with "later" is that energy doesn’t just disappear because we ignore it. It settles into the body.
I remember a specific afternoon during an energy session when I finally reached my limit. I wasn't even thinking about anything sad or stressful, but as I started focusing on my breath and clearing the space around my heart, this sudden, overwhelming wave of emotion just hit me. It wasn't a logical feeling; it was a physical necessity.
I started to cry, and once I started, I couldn't stop. It wasn't the kind of crying where you're upset about a specific event—it was a deep, guttural release of months of stored-up "fine." Every "I’m okay" that wasn’t true and every frustration I had suppressed finally had a way out.
In that moment, I felt a little bit embarrassed, but mostly, I felt an incredible sense of relief. It felt like I had been wearing a heavy winter coat in the middle of summer and finally took it off. My chest felt lighter, my breath went deeper, and for the first time in a long time, I could actually feel the space around me again.
As an energy healer, I see this so often. We hold onto things because we think we have to, but true healing requires the courage to be "un-fine" for a moment. Emotional release isn't a sign of weakness; it’s a vital clearing of the pipes so that peace can actually flow through you again.
If you’ve been feeling heavy or "full" lately, please know that it’s okay to let the tears come or to let the frustration out. You aren't breaking down; you’re breaking open to make room for something better.
Have you ever had one of those cries that felt more like a cleaning than a collapse?
