cry on paper

Very often there is a need to simply cry, cleanse and wash the Soul. But our mentality perceives tears as a manifestation of weakness or a call for help, and restraining the manifestations of our feelings, especially in the form of tears of joy or sadness, is forbidden by many. And art therapy makes it possible to symbolically cry enough on a piece of paper without unnecessary prejudices and questions from others. Take a piece of paper and cry as much as you need to feel completely renewed and cleansed of the experiences that prevent you from living happily. And even if you do not understand the reason for the need to cry on paper – just cry with paint and everything will pass!
It is interesting how Osho says about tears: “If you really want to laugh, you need to learn how to cry. If you cannot cry, if you are not capable of tears, you are not capable of laughter. A laughing person is at the same time a crying person – this is a person who is in balance. Tears are much more beautiful than anything you have, because they are born from the overflowing of your being. Tears are not necessarily associated with sadness; sometimes they come from great joy, sometimes from peace, sometimes from delight and love. In fact, they have nothing to do with sadness or joy. Everything that touches your heart, everything that takes possession of you, everything that is so great that you cannot hold back and that overwhelms you – all this gives rise to tears. Receive them with great joy, taste them, feed on them, greet them, and through tears you will learn how to pray. Through tears you will learn how to look at the world. Eyes full of tears are able to see the truth.” (Osho)
Cry for health on a piece of paper with bright colors, and you won’t even notice how your life turns into a rainbow.
