Hi Open,

Edu's post and your response really resonated with me and I would be glad of some clarification on the spontaneous crying.

Often (especially before my morning meditation) I can feel something building up within and when I sit waves of emotion come up (usually grief, but not exclusively) this isn't just a few tears, it's sobbing, gut wrenching, rolling on the floor type grief which feels very deep. It passes like a summer storm and once released it's like someone turned off a tap and it simply stops, apart from a lot of yawning to release the energy, leaving a feeling of lightness but no intimation of what it was all about. I had always assumed it was karmic and that providing it was felt and expressed there was no need to get into my head to discover what it was about (always a huge temptation for me) . Now you have got me wondering.... I have asked in the past to be shown, but as nothing emerged I just let go of the need to know and have accepted that it is something which needs to be expressed and released without my needing to know the whys and wherefores.

If I am not releasing the karma around these episodes and nothing emerges when I try to explore what would you suggest is the best way to proceed?

Many thanks and much love,

Pam
