Initiate crying

Initiate crying by imitating the facial movements of sadness. (You may need to use a
mirror to check on whether you are making the correct movements.)

Drop your mouth open.

Pull the corners of your lips down.

While you hold those lip corners down, try now to raise your cheeks, as if you are
squinting. This pulls against the lip corners.

Maintain this tension between the raised cheeks and the lip corners pulling
down.

Let your eyes look downwards, and your upper eyelids droop.

If you still have not begun to feel any sadness do this movement. This is a much harder
movement for most people to make voluntarily.
Pull the inner corners of your eyebrows up in the middle only, not the entire
brow.

It may help if you also pull your brows together and up in the middle.

Let your eyes look downwards, and your upper eyelids droop.

Breath
Breath deeply, short inhalations through the nose. Exhale completely
through the mouth until below empty. Sigh, say aaaaaaa...

Become aware of any holding, tension in you body. Soften it and let it go.

Let your body shake.


Think of someone you really, really loved--and they have died.
