Tears to Cleanse

Meaning Behind the Art:

Have you ever wondered how crying affects your body and wellbeing? 

I was curious, as an avid cryer, so I googled it. 

Here's what google said: Crying activated the parasympathetic nervous system and restores the body to a state of balance. When we cry, our body releases endorphins and oxytocin. These natural chemical messengers help reliece emotional distress along with physical pain. In other words, crying is a self-soothing behaviour. 

I find this so amazing that our bodies know what we need in a moment and has the ability to get us back to a state of balance. 

So, next time you or I have a cry, we can remember that our bodies are restoring our sense of wellbeing and balance.

It's a beautiful thing.
