Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings.   For today’s Mermaid Monday blog post, I have decided to discuss tears and salt water!

When it comes to our bodies, tears are the most obvious form of salt water we contain within us.   While blood also has salt content, it is far from purely salt water, but tears are.   Tears are our very own link back to the Sea held within the body!   That is part of why tears are so cleansing.   A good cry is something that will release pent-up emotions and lighten your load faster than pretty much anything else.

I know that many of us have been told not to let others see us cry.   This is built on the notion that crying is weak.   However, that could not be further from the truth.   There is potent power in emotion, and potent power in the willingness to express vulnerability through tears.   The expression of vulnerability through tears is a confrontation of the Shadow and a time to learn to integrate these issues.   

When we cry, we release that which no longer serves.   When we cry, we also form a greater bond with the energy of the Sea.   The flow of warm salt water down the cheeks is a lovely way to feel a communion with the largest bodies of water on the planet.   There is even more magick in crying while in the Ocean, for your tears can mix with the salt water of the Sea!

I hope you have enjoyed this short reflection on the connection between tears and the salt water of the Sea.   How do you feel about crying?   How do you engage with your emotions through tears?   Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
