Another brilliant piece that captivated me from the beginning to end. Your ability to draw on the threads of connection in myth and science is truly remarkable. I will never view tears the same! I was delighted to see your mention of water and tears and the work of folks like Austin and Pollack. The connection of the Parasympathetic is also connected to our lymphatic system. When upregulated our lymphatic system suffers. For years, I wasn’t getting a good cry. This research helped me clarify and I’m sure I will get more understanding on the power of tears as I digest what was shared. Thanks for your well researched and thought provoking analysis, hit the mark, again 😘
Oooh you raise a good point about the lymphatic system! Damn! I should have tied in research about that into it! The lymphatic system is something I need to explore deeper too! Oh I love Veda Austin’s work. I’ve been obsessed with water since I can’t remember when and I always put it down to being a water sign haha.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read what I write and I love how you summarised so perfectly what I aim to do but just never realised in such straightforward words “connecting myth and science” - I guess the left brain part of me is always trying to understand through the sciences or back up in a way the symbolic code we find in ancient texts and folklore
I found this piece fascinating, thank you for the care and work you put into this... Wow!
I found something here that is a brand new thought for me, "We bleed, we sweat, we spit, we cry and we ejaculate. These are just some of the secretions which act as containers for our emotions condensed into liquid form." I'd never considered those things as a group before, but do now 🕯️
Thank you thank you thank you for the labor of love you put into all your pieces. Yet again, I have learned something and resonated deeply with your lens. Who knew viewing a woman cry lowers male testosterone!
I am reminded of a time at a park when I passed by a father telling his crying son that tears don’t fix anything. Ahhhh the urge to step in and correct that statement!!
Brava to another insightful, thought provoking piece 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You are doing it, and doing it well. My chart is half water, half structure so I positively love your blend of both.
Haha oh boy! Then you know what it’s like!! My chart is heavy with all the mutable signs

Aww thank you! I try to research from different angles so sometimes takes time to marinate it together haha
Glad you took something away from it, all the secret secretions

Oh wow! Tears don’t fix anything! I should have used that line to challenge it with the science!
Yay! Thank you for your appreciation of the labour of love! Truly is to sit and write nowadays
Thank you for sharing 💗
