Yes, this is true. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this thread. Everyone has helped me to see that tears need not be embarrassing. To just let them pass, as I do my thoughts when I meditate.

I'll look upon the tears as a form of healing.

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad to see this attitude!

I did this too a while a go.. shed a bit of tears. Felt like I was overwhelmed with the calmness(?) energy(?) or more like what Gem just said. whatever it is, I think its a good sign
