Don’t Hold Back! On Urges & Tears 😭

In Ayurveda, there are urges to not resist and doing so is harmful to the body.

Every urge has a purpose that connects to helping movement and cleansing. We regenerate a lot during sleep, which is why the body has an urge for rest. We may need to cough to clear the throat or drink water for cellular hydration . Crying is an emotional urge that carries more importance than we may think.
