Tears Won’t Stop? It’s Not Depression, It’s Awakening

Guru Sanju

The First Signs of Awakening: Endless Tears

Tears won’t stop. And yet, this is not depression. This is awakening.

If you find yourself crying endlessly, if tears are flowing and purging is happening in your system without pause, then understand that this is a result of Kundalini awakening or spiritual awakening. It is not a disease, not a psychological condition in the way the world defines it, but rather the stirring of energy within you.

When your heart chakra is blocked, when the energy in your chest cannot flow, tears begin to come in ways you cannot control. They come not because you choose them, not because you sit and think of your pain, but because the awakening itself is opening layers that were long frozen.

Very often, without your conscious awareness, without any active thought in your mind, the tears just come. Suddenly something bursts open, something melts inside, and you do not know why. You cannot name it, you cannot point to it, and yet your whole being is shaken.

This constant crying and purging drains your energy. You feel fatigued. You feel hollowed out. And when you try to explain it to those around you, the words come out confused, unclear. Even you do not fully know how to speak of what is happening.

Others, who are not awakened, who do not know the science of Kundalini, may misunderstand you. They hear your attempt to explain, but since they lack the sensitivity to see your inner process, they label it as depression. Then begins a cycle—the cycle of doctors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and endless visits in which you are misdiagnosed and mistreated.

Instead of moving forward in your awakening, you find yourself trapped in labels and treatments that do not serve the truth of your journey. This creates more suffering, and more confusion about what is truly happening to you.

How the Heart Chakra Blockage Affects the Body

When your heart chakra is blocked, the symptoms go far beyond crying. The chest region itself feels congested. Breathing becomes shallow. Your ribcage does not expand fully.

This affects every major system of your body. Your heart’s functioning, which includes circulating oxygenated blood, is compromised. Your lymphatic flow slows down. Your respiratory rhythm breaks down. And because the heart is central to blood circulation, the entire body’s oxygen supply becomes affected.

When your blood is not carrying sufficient oxygen, your nervous system immediately senses distress. It moves into freeze mode. This freeze mode is a survival state. The body activates stress responses. The sympathetic nervous system begins to dominate.

This is why most of the time, when your heart chakra is blocked, your breathing becomes shallow and incomplete. You are simply surviving breath to breath. The oxygen does not reach the cells of your body. Your cells cannot produce energy. Your system cannot function optimally.

And so, your whole life is disrupted.

Why Tears Come: The Real Cause

The real question is—where are these tears coming from? Why are they coming?

When you understand the reason, you begin to treat yourself with compassion. You stop fighting yourself. You begin to walk the journey in the right spirit.

When the heart chakra is blocked, there is a high probability that your lower chakras are also blocked. In fact, when the lower chakras and the heart chakra together are congested, that means the lower four energy centers are closed.

What does this mean practically? It means your digestive system and your gut are locked in tension. Your gut, which is meant to flow, is instead holding a storm of blocked emotions.

The Weight of Denser Emotions in the Gut

The gut is the storehouse of energies like anger, jealousy, fear, blame, shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, pride, grief, sadness, agony, loneliness, and regret. These are the denser emotions of human experience.

When they are not processed, they pressurize your abdominal region. They push against the diaphragm. The diaphragm, which should move freely with each breath, becomes frozen in place.

At this point, your solar plexus—the core of your personal power—is also held in tension. You cannot express. You feel unable to share. Suppression takes over. And suppression always leads to freeze.

This accumulation of dense energies in the lower body creates a massive pressure. They remain trapped not only in the physical digestive system but also in the energy body.

Because the abdominal region is the most spacious part of your body, these energies gather there in bulk. Slowly, your digestive system begins to malfunction. Food is not digested properly. Nutrients are not absorbed. Assimilation fails. The organs weaken.

And all this pressure rises upward, toward the heart chakra. The heart becomes squeezed from below, making its own blockage even worse.

Suppression, Loneliness, and the Cry of the Soul

Now consider the heart itself. It is the center of love. It is the place where we feel connection to life and to others. But when it is blocked, the experience is one of profound isolation.

You want to express love, but you cannot. You want to be understood, but no one understands. You want to pour out your feelings, but the words get stuck in your throat.

The result is loneliness of the most extreme kind. It feels as though the ground has been pulled from beneath your feet. The world is racing forward—you see people moving, achieving, connecting—yet you stand still, frozen in one place.

This is the stagnancy of blocked energy. Nothing new enters your life. You have little strength to meet new people. Even when new people do appear, you find yourself trying desperately to explain your condition, or trying to seek their approval, or pretending you are fine when you are not.

In this way, you stop living authentically. Your mask of “normal” life grows thicker. But inside, the pressure increases.

At this stage, even your tear glands are affected. Because the soul itself feels suppressed, because the spirit is crying to be free, tears pour endlessly.

Why Kundalini Awakening Creates Endless Tears

Kundalini energy does not move casually. It is not a passive presence. When it awakens, it begins its work with intensity and determination. Its sole purpose is to clear blockages, purify your channels, and bring you into alignment with higher consciousness.

How does Kundalini do this? It employs the five elements of nature—heat (fire), water, wind (air), earth, and space (ether). Each element becomes a force of cleansing.

  • Heat rises in the body, burning away impurities.
  • Water increases, washing out old emotions.
  • Air moves forcefully through the pranic channels, shaking loose blockages.
  • Earth grounds you, though sometimes it feels heavy as if pulling you down.
  • Space expands within, creating room for energy to circulate.

The emotions you carry are nothing but energy in motion. When suppressed, they freeze. Imagine them as ice blocks in your subtle body. They are solid, unmoving, dense.

Kundalini comes like sunlight. It heats this ice. Slowly, the frozen emotions melt into liquid. And liquid must flow. It flows as tears.

So understand: your tears are not simply sadness. They are the physical expression of melted, transmuted energies. When you cry without any reason—without thoughts, without memories—it is because Kundalini has broken down frozen emotions into water. That water leaves your body through your eyes.

The Cost of Endless Crying

This process is powerful, but it is not easy. When tears come day after day, week after week, you begin to feel emptied out.

Your body grows weak. You lose vital energy. You may even feel that your life is being drained away through your tears. There is fatigue in your muscles, heaviness in your head, and fogginess in your brain.

For months, this cycle can continue. You may sit and wonder: “Why me? When will this end? How do I stop this?”

The truth is—you cannot stop it with force. You cannot hold the tears back. To resist is to create more tension.

What you can do is shift your relationship with it. Instead of seeing it as depression or sickness, see it as awakening. And then apply self-loving techniques to regulate your nervous system, to help your body bear the intensity, and to keep yourself balanced through the storm.

Self-Healing Techniques to Support Your Awakening

These are not complicated rituals. They are simple gestures, small actions, and gentle practices. But when applied consistently, they bring profound relief.

Remember: during awakening, your brain and nervous system are already under stress. Your willpower may be weak. You may not feel like doing anything. But even if you begin with a single step—even five minutes of practice—you create an opening. From that opening, the rest will unfold.

Let me guide you through each technique.

1. Reframe: It Is Not Depression

The first and most important step is to tell yourself clearly: This is not depression.

Depression belongs to the root chakra. It is different in nature. What you are experiencing comes primarily from heart chakra blockage, often with the lower chakras also congested.

So when tears come, pause and say within:
“This is awakening. This is cleansing. This is my energy healing.”

By reframing in this way, you calm your mind and reduce unnecessary fear. You stop seeking depression treatments that mislead you. You bring your attention back to the real process—Kundalini purification.

2. Self-Hugging and Caressing

Now, practice the art of self-love physically.

  • Wrap your arms around yourself in a hug. Hold yourself gently.
  • Rock side to side. Let your body feel your own embrace.
  • Begin to pat your back with care, the way you would comfort a child.
  • Stroke your arms slowly, sending love through your touch.
  • Move your hands to your face. Caress your cheeks tenderly. Wipe your tears with gentleness, as though you are wiping the face of someone you love deeply.
  • Place your hands on your head. Stroke it softly, as if calming a beloved pet.

Continue this for 15–30 minutes.

What happens? Your parasympathetic nervous system begins to activate. Your body receives the signal: I am safe. I am loved.

The hormone oxytocin flows. Your system shifts from survival mode to healing mode. Even if tears continue, you will feel softness enter your experience.

3. Smile Through the Tears

As you hug and caress yourself, practice smiling.

Yes, it feels strange at first. You may say: “How can I smile when I am crying?” But this is not about pretending to be happy. It is about shifting the signals your body receives.

A smile tells your nervous system: safety is here, healing is here. So even through tears, lift the corners of your lips. Hold a soft smile.

Over time, the brain begins to release healing signals. Smiling through tears is one of the most transformative acts you can perform.

4. Humming and Singing

Now open your throat gently. Begin to hum.

You may hum hoo, hoo, hoo… or any sound that comes naturally. Do not worry about melody. Do not worry about rhythm. Simply let sound emerge.

Allow the vibration to move through your chest and throat. Let it resonate in your skull. Feel the waves it creates.

Sound is medicine. Vibration breaks blockages. The humming transmutes dense energy. It uplifts you instantly.

5. Dance and Shake

Stand up. Move your body. Shake your arms. Swing your hips. Stamp your feet gently.

Do not worry about how you look. This is not performance. This is release.

Imagine you are shaking off the dust of centuries. Imagine your body as a vessel, and you are loosening the stuck particles inside.

As you dance, endorphins release. Joy hormones spread. Energy opens. Life begins to feel lighter.

6. Healing the Throat with the Neck Hold

Now, let us work with the vagus nerve.

  • Place both hands on the back of your neck, just below the skull.
  • Close your eyes.
  • Begin mouth breathing: slow, deep exhalations.
  • Do this 100 times.

As you exhale, let your belly deflate completely. Burps may arise. Subtle energy shifts may occur.

This activates the vagus nerve, which runs through your neck and controls your parasympathetic system. When the vagus nerve activates, the freeze response dissolves. Stress lessens. Calmness enters.

7. Heart Chakra Touch

Next, connect head and heart.

  • Place one hand on your heart chakra, at the center of your chest.
  • Place the other hand on your head.
  • Breathe slowly, with long exhalations.

Do this for 10–20 breaths. Switch hands when tired.

This posture links thought and feeling. It harmonizes your inner worlds. The energy begins to flow between head and heart, easing the sense of disconnection.

8. Palming the Forehead

Cover your forehead and eyes with both palms. Close your eyes.

Stay in this position for two minutes while breathing deeply through the mouth.

This simple act reduces brain fog. It calms the optic nerves. It tells your mind to rest. Tears may slow. Clarity may return.

9. Face Tapping

Now, with gentle fingers, begin to tap your face.

  • Start around the eye sockets.
  • Then move to the ends of the eyebrows. There you will find small depressions. Press these points gently 21 times.

As you do this, your brainwave activity shifts. You move from beta (stress, overthinking) into alpha (calm, creativity).

In alpha, your body enters rest-and-digest mode. Your nervous system relaxes. Your parasympathetic pathways awaken.

10. Nose-Bridge Pressing

Finally, work on the nose bridge.

  • Find the depressions on either side of the upper nose.
  • Press gently with both fingers.
  • Do this 21 times.

As you press, notice your breath. Often it will shift on its own. You may find yourself exhaling more deeply. You may notice involuntary sighs or changes.

This is a sign the vagus nerve is activating. Your body is shifting into deeper parasympathetic healing.

11. Rest in Shavasana

After practicing all these techniques, it is important not to rush back into activity. Your system needs time to integrate.

Lie down on your back in Shavasana—corpse pose. Keep your legs slightly apart, arms by your side, palms facing upward. Close your eyes.

Do not try to control your breath. Do not try to control your mind. Simply rest. Allow your body to sink into the earth.

In this state, your brainwaves naturally shift. From beta—the frequency of stress and overthinking—you move into alpha, where calmness and clarity emerge. From alpha, you may slip into theta, the frequency of deep meditation and healing. From theta, sometimes even into delta, where deep cellular repair occurs.

If you surrender completely, you may also experience flashes of gamma, the frequency of spiritual insight and awakening.

This is why Shavasana is not mere relaxation. It is integration. It allows all the techniques you practiced to settle deeply into your body, your energy system, and your nervous system.

The Shift from Tears to Gratitude

At the end of your practice, do not simply rise and return to life as if nothing happened. Close your session with gratitude.

Why gratitude? Because gratitude is the highest frequency. It is higher than fear, higher than sadness, higher even than joy. Gratitude opens doors no other energy can open.

So, as you lie in Shavasana, say inwardly:

  • Thank you to my body for enduring this journey.
  • Thank you to my energy for cleansing itself.
  • Thank you to Kundalini for guiding me through this process.
  • Thank you to the Guru, to consciousness, to existence itself, for showing me the way.

Gratitude transforms tears. Tears that were once heavy with pain become light with release. Tears that carried suppression become tears of devotion.

Why Gratitude Heals

When you shift from crying to gratitude, you are not denying your experience. You are not forcing positivity. Rather, you are recognizing that your tears have purpose.

Your tears are not punishment. They are purification. They are the cleansing of centuries of frozen energy. They are the breaking down of karmic residue.

By framing them as awakening, and by sealing your practice with gratitude, you align yourself with the higher truth. You begin to experience freedom.

The Bigger Picture: Tears as Spiritual Alchemy

Understand this clearly:

  • Depression suppresses energy. It is a downward spiral, rooted in the root chakra.
  • Awakening releases energy. It is an upward movement, centered on the heart.

Your tears are not the same as depressive tears. They are not evidence of weakness. They are the alchemy of Kundalini.

The ice of suppressed emotion is melting. That melting produces water. And water flows out as tears.

What was once frozen pain is now liquid release. What was once silent suffering is now movement. This is progress. This is healing.

Living with Compassion Toward Yourself

From now on, when the tears come, do not panic. Do not label yourself depressed. Do not seek constant approval or explanations from others.

Instead, embrace yourself. Hug yourself. Hum, dance, sing, pat your face, tap your eyebrows, press your nose bridge, and then lie in Shavasana.

Support your nervous system. Support your heart. And most of all, support your soul.

The Guru’s Role

If you truly wish for permanent resolution—if you wish not only to soothe yourself but to dissolve the root of the blockages—then working with a Guru is essential.

Alone, you can apply techniques. You can find temporary relief. But with guidance, the deeper knots of your energy can be untied. The Guru transmits the frequency that supports permanent transformation.

Until then, use these techniques daily. Let them become your companions.

Final Words: Life Is Not Punishing You

Remember always:

The tears that flow endlessly are not a curse. They are not punishment. They are not a sign that you are broken.

They are the voice of Kundalini, the movement of awakening. They are your inner purification, your emotional alchemy, your soul’s release.

So, be gentle with yourself. Practice the techniques. Rest often. Smile through tears. And hold gratitude as your highest prayer.

When you do this, you will see that life is not punishing you—life is awakening you.
