Emotions – sadness, anger and joy
Tears create ripples in the time and space of your inner being
Emotions – sadness, anger and joy
Tears shed.
From the medial of the eye (by the bridge of your nose) tears of deep seated sadness release.
From the middle of your eye, tears of bitterness and anger emerge.
From the outer corners tears of pure laughter, joy and sweetness flow.
Every tear represents your inner feelings.
Express, never suppress.
The body always feels lighter for it.
The tears of Sadness
From the medial of the eyes arise Vata tears. Vata is the Dosha in Ayurveda connected to the combination of the elements Ether (Akasha) and Air (Vayu).
Vata tears are said to be astringent and bitter to taste. Cold to the touch and filled with emotions of grief, sadness, loneliness, fear and suppressed emotions. Often scarce or dry in nature due to the inner feelings of vulnerability. Dry tears are a sign that the nervous system is in panic mode.
When we feel nervous, vulnerable or sad we often go so deep within that the tears have no way of being able to fully express themselves out. Vata is like the entering into a black hole from which people become lost within their multitude of thoughts.
The tears of Anger
Pitta is the Ayurvedic Dosha formed from the elements of mainly Fire (Agni) and a smaller percentage of Water (Jal).
These tears are hot in nature and salty and sharp to taste. They may sting the eyes on leaving and create salt stains on pillows and the cheeks of the person.
Tears arising from the middle of the eye are said to relate to emotions of anger, jealousy, frustration, hate and competition.
The tears of anger even burn our own eyes. The science of the body is truly fascinating.
The tears of Joy
From the outer corners Kapha Dosha tears flow. Kapha is made up of mainly Water (Jal) and a smaller percentage of Earth (Prithvi) elements.
These sweet, thick and heavy tears are the result of feeling love and grief. Deep seated emotions arise from Kapha because it is a heavy Dosha.
Tears of compassion flow from these eyes.
There is a joy and freedom in crying that can not be explained but should be experienced by all.
