1. The Core Essence & Decoding for Practitioners
As you rest in peaceful mindful meditation, tears suddenly begin to well up and roll down your cheeks without any conscious sadness, or your nose starts running, leaving you feeling slightly perplexed. This is a completely natural phenomenon known by wellness therapists as ‘Bio-Cleansing.’ There are two primary reasons for this release: (1) On a physiological level: When your eyes remain closed or half-closed for an extended period, the facial muscles relax, stimulating the lacrimal glands to lubricate the cornea and flush away dust, while nasal passages expand to expel trapped mucus; (2) On an emotional level: Deep mindful meditation touches the subconscious layers, releasing suppressed tensions and emotional baggage that the waking mind may not actively register.
2. Step-by-Step Scientific Practice Guide
- Managing tears: Allow the tears to fall naturally without rushing to wipe them away. Feel the gentle warmth of the water as a soothing purification for your inner landscape.
- Managing nasal discharge: Keep a clean cloth nearby your meditation cushion. If a runny nose interferes with your diaphragmatic breathing, gently open your eyes, dab softly with the cloth, and resume your mindful presence.
- Post-meditation integration: Take deep, slow breaths and notice the clear, light sensation across your forehead, nasal sinuses, and eyes.
3. Healing Botanical Scent Therapy & Space Purification
To support the clearing of your airways and dispel stagnant cold humors from the sinuses, burn a stick of Natural Herbal Incense Sticks (8 Sacred Herbs) ($5 USD / pack) for 5 to 10 minutes before your practice. Crafted at the Thuong Dat artisan workshop, Hai Phong, Vietnam, and utilizing ingredients like 3-year aged mugwort, the pure botanical smoke possesses powerful clarifying properties that warm the nasal cavity, naturally soothe inflammation, and protect respiratory health.
A Gentle Note from Phu Van Huong: Tears shed upon the meditation cushion are sacred dew drops washing away the dust of consciousness. Allow all purification to unfold as naturally as earth and sky.
