mental pain

[youngers1810]

Hi all
how does one give in to mental pain ?
In my own opinion physical emotion such as crying is not a thing I like I feel I have to be strong in this day and age.

yet I feel like crying for no reason at the same time I want to hold on to my pain .
I have lost loved ones in the past am i in mourning for my lost loved ones ?

any tips how one copes with mental pain ?

Don't fear the tears, youngers1810.

Water is fluid but it has incredible strength. There is wisdom in mountains, water and clouds.

Don't fear your emotions.

Namaste.

Mental pain?
Now, I ask only out of curiosity and a better understanding...
You 'feel like crying for no reason', you 'want to hold onto' the pain...
you are in mourning....and you say 'crying is not a thing' you like...
but only when your logic steps in.
I think I got that all correct.

This sounds like your Heart.

The Heart has no logic...in the Mind's World you have time, reason, rationale...
Oh, but in the World of the Heart...there is none of that ... the Heart deals in terms
of timelessness and eternity...the Heart embraces the pain of loss...
it is a point of connection to all who have loss throughout time.

Remember what Yoagananda said when asked by his student,
"When will we know we are closer to God."
Without hesitation, Paramahansa answered, "When you feel."

This response makes me cry as so many things do these days. I felt like you do youngers. Before 4 months ago I hadn't cried in 3 years, and before that I don't remember when. I grew up in a household where we were not allowed to display emotions and had to be tough, and if you were caught crying you'd be better to cut it off right away! I still cannot cry in front of my mother.

Anyway, I had those mental blocks and still do in some ways. My mind has always worked overtime. But once you remove those mental blocks and allow the heart to take over...there is no stopping the tears - they just flow. Then there is no mental pain. The heart just aches and you cry and cry while those tears wash away that pain and replace it with love. To feel simply with the heart is magnificent. If you allow it, then you won't think twice about it...well you won't have much choice in the matter.

I hope you open your heart and that you do have a good cry. I don't want to be presumptuous or pushy or anything in that way. I hope this is okay!

Thank you for sharing youngers.

Love to you, my friend!

Blessings!

When some of my family members passed away my mum was in tears.
yet I did not understand why she was crying ?

Yet when I ask for angels to be present with me sometimes tears roll down my face.

as I've got older I thought there was something wrong with as death it seems does not effect me in an emotional way .

For example a place I use to work a friend was choking on food everyone started to panic yet I remained calm she was on after but I questioned myself why I had no reaction to the situation at the time.

so is it possible I'm doing everything I can to know what different emotions feel like ?.
And it possible it's not a long pining in me but I am at peace with life ?

I do not understand love when my soul belief and physical belief is everything is energy

so why do people waste time on physical emotions ?

Well that's sad, you're missing something quite significant! I hope you find the answers that you seek.

It feels like I am deeper than the heart perhaps at the core self ?

I belive we can go deeper than the heart if we looked inwards enough

is there such thing as core self after stripping away everything ?.

Sometimes I feel this way, wanting to cry for no conscious reason, but I allow the tears to flow because it's very cathartic/healing to purge those emotions out...even if you don't understand the source of the tears it's your body's way of letting things out...

It's also possible to cry over the death of a loved one, but not feel the full sadness, as this is something I've personally experienced...I believe it was residual purging and the final moments of truly letting go and mourning, even though I was mentally over the death of my loved one, I still had residual energy pent up within me for many years before it came out around the time-frame of the anniversary of their death...

Let the tears flow...It's a good thing and very healing, : )
