Proxy Cry: Borrowing a Doorway to Release

And what doesn’t get processed gets stored.

Grief. Rage. Fear. Helplessness.
Not expressed — just compacted.

Over time, it can feel almost solid inside the body. Dense in the chest. Tight in the belly. Hard to access.

I call the antidote to this phenomenon proxy cry.

A proxy cry happens when you can’t reach the tears directly connected to what you’ve been holding — so you borrow a doorway.

A film that cracks you open.
A poem that undoes you.
A song that suddenly floods your eyes.

The tears may seem out of proportion to the trigger.

They’re not.

They’re cumulative.

Your nervous system is wise. It looks for moments of safety to release what it couldn’t process in real time. When you allow yourself to fully cry — to shake, to curl inward, to soften — your body is completing stress cycles that were left unfinished.

This is not weakness.

This is regulation.

Why Energy Self-Care Needs to Be Normalized

You might also sense, on a deep level, that your “body keeps the score” (Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D.). The emotional and spiritual challenges you meet—loss, heartbreak, stress, betrayal—don’t just pass through and disappear. They store themselves in your body. As fear. As anxiety. As trauma. This residue can come from many sources: karmic patterns, wounded inner child experiences, ancestral imprints. Over time, what begins as energetic imbalance eventually manifests in the physical body as pain, fatigue, or illness.

Embracing the Divine Feminine for Ourselves, for Our World

The divine feminine is an archetype that embodies the very essence of femininity in its most elevated form. This powerful force has been revered and celebrated across cultures for millennia.

The divine feminine is not limited to a specific gender. It is a force that resides within all of us, regardless of our gender or identity. By opening ourselves up to this reality, we can tap into a wellspring of power and beauty that has the potential to change our lives and the world around us.

Mother Earth is a true embodiment of the divine feminine. She is at once fierce and nurturing, unleashing hurricanes and tornadoes while also providing us with the sustenance we need to survive. She teaches us the importance of honoring the cycles of life and nature, reminding us of our interconnectedness and the need to care for ourselves and others.

In ancient Egypt, Goddess Isis exemplified the divine feminine through her healing powers and fierce love. She resurrected her husband, Osiris, showing us the transformative power of love and compassion. The Oracle of Delphi was a priestess who embodied the divine feminine quality of intuition and the ability to receive messages from the divine realm. Her insights were considered sacred and powerful, sought after by both individuals and leaders.
