Spell for Crying

When you need to cry but can’t, and when you can’t stop crying.

Sit down somewhere comfortable. Feel the pressure where your body connects to the surfaces that are supporting it (the back of the chair, the floor under your feet). Cup you hands in your lap like you are holding a vessel - a large bowl or an urn, something sacred or something simple.

Feel the place of tears origins, the heart, the belly, the solar plexus, where ever they start for you. Trace the way the move upward, toward the throat and the eyes.

Then take a breath and feel the place where they start again, the heart, the belly, the solar plexus. Trace the path upward, but instead of moving into the throat, look down at your hands. Imagine the tears moving through your shoulders, down the length of your arms, into your hands.

Imagine the bowl you are holding in your hands. Imagine the tears filling up the bowl from the bottom up.

This spell can help when you are needing to cry but can’t.

It can help when you are sobbing and can’t find an end.

You can use it when tears are coming out of your eyes but you don’t feel it in your body.

Imagine the tears in every cell of the body. There is space for it all.
