Overwhelming Emotion

[Simonm]

Please forgive my silly question, but recently, well over the last year or so, I have a massive overwhelming urge to cry??? WTF?

This is massive for me. I am ex military, who has seen active service in my former career. Crying is something pretty alien to me. However, recently, even speaking can make my throat swell as if I'm about to break out sobbing. Many times I pretend to cough to clear the sensation. What the hell is going on. I get emotional (well hidden) over so many things lately.

Any Idea's

:)

Heart opening to stuff going on around you. We're told stay strong, keep a stiff upper lip as our world, families, governments, cities and nations are crumbling, but if you are awake and aware, like Enoch you'll cry for humanity.
When I get that way where I'm overwhelmed in grief, I have to give what I can't change to God.

I too have found myself getting very emotional in the last year. I normally cry once every five years.

Take a walk in Nature. Try to do it daily. Find the quiet part of the woods. Sit there for a while. Nobody is watching you. Let the emotions rise to the top!

It is part of your healling proccess , embrace the emotion, allow and let go. It is normal, nothing weird. You'l have the urge to laugh out too.
Be open to recive.
Much love

Me, too, Simonm. http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/smileys-hugs-765537_zpso1eaenyy.gif

I’ll get all choked-up at the grocery store check out aisle or watching a bird feed on it’s morning meal. It’s the release of the raw human heart.:heart:

I don't cry much, but there was actually some tears earlier this summer when I released some old heart chakra blocks. It's a difficult centre to clear. The solar plexus isn't so bad, as it's more about anger and things like that, but the heart tends to hold on to deeper feelings of grief and pain.

Don't know what that is exactly but I get it all the time now. Started about 10 years back, and can be triggered by random things like old smells, a new song (most often this), memories, and even just as often without an obvious trigger at all. For me there often isn't "sadness" though, just an overwhelming surge of uncontrollable emotion that makes me cry (or want to) -- sometimes it feels like joy even, but mostly not the type of emotion that we have labels for ... something different ...

This is something I have rather grown accustomed to and many others I know are having this effect too, it seems to be affecting more people more strongly as time passes ... just a lot of people don't talk about it, especially men.

As others have mentioned, perhaps it's just some good ol' clearing of burdensome locked in vibrations from our past and past lives, who knows ... It's become almost "normal" thing for me lately.

I've been having this too for the past year or so. I agree that it can certainly be a bit awkward and annoying at times - especially in public situation - but I don't think it's anything to feel bad about. I'd say just let it go every once in a while when the time's right. Preferably when you're on your own and know you won't be bothered by anyone. I'm sure you'll feel much better afterwards :)
It's good to release the valves every now and then!

As for why you're experiencing this? I don't really know either... I guess that since I've become awake I just feel so much more in tune with nature and my fellow brothers and sisters that, like RunningDeer said, even the simplest of things can make me emotional and choke me up. Which I've come to see as a positive thing, to be honest. It feels good to give in to these emotions when I can, instead of just trying to suppress them like I used to do in the past.

I know what you are talking about. I have felt it in myself and have seen it in many people. For me, it was quite surprising when I couldn’t even get a sentence out without the quivering of my vocal cords. I would get annoyed because I would really want to have this conversation. Why are these emotions trying to shut me up? Why do they not want me to express myself? Once I went into anger about not being able to converse it became a challenge to say it without crying or choking up. I like challenges so I started pointing at it, joking about it, then shaking it off. Later I would try and find the root.

When I noticed it in older men, like my father and co-workers, my heart would go out to them. I could see that they weren’t use to expressing emotions and really wanted to. They look like they were in some unknown world that had been delegated to the fairer sex and now they were infected. It challenged their manhood. You could see this in their eyes in that moment.

I see it as a bi-product of the way we choose to live in todays society. Our minds are kept busy with duty and responsibility till we retire and then we finally get some ‘me’ time. This is when the body says, ‘yay!’, and wants to process all the stuff you stuffed. It’s like the greiving process. If we don’t do it at the time, it might surprise you years later in unexpected ways.

We can think we are flawed in some way, or we can look at it as our emotions are part of our body and need to be cleansed and taken care of regular just like brushing our teeth. We aren’t taught that, todays world wants to drug the emotions right out of us. But, once the drugs wear off… well, we all know what happens.

Thanks for talking about this Simonm. All my family members do this when our conversations turn emotional, and getting different views on this to share might move us passed it, or crack open the door for a good family cry.

SimonM, it looks like your question wasn't silly at all, but that it was very timely for a lot of us. Count me in, too.

Since leaving the corporate world to do body work, I've been working on opening my heart and communicating with spirit. It has worked, and I've experienced being touched by emotion much more often.

Also, you may be developing spiritual empathy, and the emotions you are feeling could possibly be from other people or even disembodied entities. This was happening to me as I found myself having thoughts I knew didn't belong to me. I ran crying --I do mean crying -- to my favorite Native American spiritual counselor. She reminded me to spiritually detach myself, which is just a matter of deciding to detach spiritual cords, and it is done.

It has to do with energy and the way people are to make us feel that way, it builds up extremely quick. Even in myself I feel that way and its super awkward around people especially if it feels like you are about to tear up not not specifically bust out crying. Its just more like a sadness for humanity or something idk bit ik what u mean its been happening to me a little under a year now maybe because of all the energies coming inside that we are manifesting .

Hi again SimonM,

I was just thinking about the latest post by Marilyn Raffaele who channels Arcturian messages that always seem to talk about things that are going on with a lot of people. The latest message includes this:


......Everyone is feeling the higher dimensional energies now pouring to earth with increasing intensity. These energies are serving to open mankind to a higher awareness that is empowering them to seek freedom of expression, self rule, and new ways of living, being, and governance. Most people as of yet do not fully understand why they are feeling these urges or why their thinking has changed so much on particular issues.

Mankind’s increasing dissatisfaction with “business as usual”, began when powerful and high resonating energies began to replace the old, and personal clearings began. The heart chakras of many have cleared or are in the process, and the high heart is opening for all who are receptive. The dissolution of old energy begins the moment an individual opens themselves to more.


As the heart begins to open, dense self created energetic walls of protection that were formed around it as the result of past and present experiences, begin to dissolve. This allows the heart’s already present frequencies of love to flow forth, the result of which is often a whole new world view for the individual. The “new” person often does not even realize that anything has changed until he attempts to live as usual, and finds that he no longer resonates with much of it....


The entire message can be found at http://www.onenessofall.com/newest.html It's the June 26th, 2016, message; so it may not be found as the "newest" for much longer. She has archives with many messages, one approximately every 2 weeks.

Whatever, don't let it bottle up. Crying releases emotional and physical toxins.

[Matthew]

Yes, crying can be like going to the toilet. Typically one likes to do it in private, it comes when it's good and ready not always when we're good and ready, and keeping it held back for long periods can get messy. Perhaps there have been times when it was important for you to hold feelings back. At the same time as remembering how to cry you may also discover the very good reason why you chose to hold it back in the past, and all due respect to this... it may have been exactly the right choice for the time.

With respect,
Matthew

Love this place so much, thanks for the thread Simmon and thanks to everyone participating or reading... Or crying or laughing...
Much love to all

I do think it has been a part of our culture that Real Men Don't Cry; which is a real shame! Good thread!

[Simonm]

Wow, so good to see others in a similar position. Many thanks for all your input. When I was in the Army, I served in the Falklands conflict and saw quite a bit of blood, gore and of course, brutality. I also served in other theatres as well. I suffered quite a bit with PTSD, for which I have a very understanding and loving family, but also some very good councilors got me through it and still do. However, I knew straight on that these feelings weren’t another episode as they were totally different in their happenings. I began to feel emotional, not scared or paranoid and no flashbacks etc. I felt emotional for many reasons, happy sad etc, but not in a violent way, so I know they are un-connected to my PTSD.

Thanks for all you input, it is quite literally heaven sent. :)

i had something simmilar twice induced by different factors but only one time for about a day i couldnt say what i was even crying for.
but since that was pretty alien to me aswell, i believe it helps to clear out some **** from my past. i think some things you have to physically get rid off, until you can truly let go.

just go with it and it should be over in some days i guess.
