Tears are continually near the surface of my emotions. Your reference to them as "tiny powerhouses of energy" makes me feel good about crying. Science says crying stimulates the production of endorphins that take away physical/psychological pain. I am convinced there is a positive effect of crying with someone. My eyes tear up when I see someone crying. I like you talking about things we don't usually talk about, yet are very much a part of our daily lives, ❤️

Aww, thanks for saying that you like my sharing things we don't usually talk about. That means a lot to me, because I have no intention of stopping that, lol. Looking forward to reading your newest post. 💜

I too am enjoying this series. Tears have been a large topic in my life. As you know, my mom cried during Mary Poppins. My dad would always ask my mom, "What's a feeling?" I inherited from both!

I prefer deeper connections in life. As I age, I've pulled more and more away from the superficial. I also have begun to allow my ability to be an ice or issue melter for others. I've noticed that as I go through my days when I go out into the world (instead of staying in my solitude), I have this way of interacting where total strangers tell me their secrets. It's not that I demand it. It's that, somehow and in some way, I make it easy and comfortable for them to feel and emit their feelings, in a way that they realize this part of them is the best of them.

Locked secrets hold power, we don't usually know we have access to them if we open them up.

I believe people open up when they sense they are safe with someone. It's a compliment to you, to be sure. 💜

I for one have actually felt, seen and co-produced the power of that energy when I took a fork/spoon-bending class years ago with Gene Ang. There’s no doubt in my mind that the power of our positive (and negative) energy supplies a current.

Where thought goes, energy flows. It would be nice to have a meter that measures, but I think that’s where the tears come in like you said.

I’ve enjoyed this series.

Thank you, Gail. How interesting that class must have been. Wow! I'd love to see that. 💜

If you google him, he may still be teaching the spoon bending class occasionally. For me it was tangible testimony and proof that energy does go somewhere, whether to those intended or elsewhere, is up for debate. Everyone has their own path, so whether they, their spirit or soul accepts the energy, or not is part of their life’s path.

Oh, I did find him, but he's in Connecticut, lol. A bit too far to go, but I'll have to keep an eye on his website. You never know when he might offer a traveling class! 💜
