Tear Cups
Do you know of anyone who is going through a loss in life, wanted to do something for them and didn’t know what? If you want to know more about a great gift that is more than a sympathy card, please read on.
My tear cups are to encourage tears that help bring comfort and ease in times of grief and crises. Whenever a human being is suffering and they allow the tears to flow from their eyes the gloom is lifted. Through my Spiritual Grief Coaching I help in this process and may even shorten the time.
In Jewish mysticism, weeping was used to open a doorway to a visionary or mystical experience. In particular, falling asleep after weeping deeply opens the gates of the consciousness to a profound dream experience.
Tear bottles have been a mourning tradition utilized by many cultures. They were found in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians and other Middle East cultures and were also popular with the Romans during the time of Christ. Mourners would fill small glass bottles or cups with tears. They were placed in the burial tombs as a sign of respect.
Tear bottles made a resurgence during the Victorian Era when the mourners would collect their tears in ornately decorated bottles.
During the Civil War, wives waiting for their husbands, would collect their tears and preserve them until their husbands came home from the war.
We have all shed tears of of many varieties. We shed tears for laughter, grief, loss, longing, anger, compassion, shame, disappointment, success, failure, regret, joy, gratitude, loneliness, heartache, fear, pride, relief, concern, rejection, abandonment. We cry at births, weddings, funerals, school concerts, graduations, birthdays and anniversaries.
