Dry Crying to Release Trapped Sorrow and Grief. According to Chinese medicine, sorrow can cause Lung Qi stagnation.

Emotionally, you most likely feel sorrow and grief longer than is healthy.

The most common homework prescription given for stagnant lung qi is the Dry Crying exercise. The concept of dry crying is best understood if you look back to when you a little child. When little children cry hard, they generally release full body resonances. They shake and undulate from the middle of the body, allowing the pain to resonate outwards.

When children reach puberty, they learn (through parental or peer pressure) to suppress their feelings, and to restrain full body resonance, by tensing the muscles in the throat. The constant pressures from society, parents and peers, result in self-conscious feelings and shame regarding the loss of control over the emotions. The following exercise allows the patient to experience full body resonation and to release deeply suppressed emotions.
