RE: Sad Songs, Lament Singing, The Blues and Sacred Music as a Tool for Emotional Healing Part 1

@geraldgunia. I'm glad to have inspired you somewhat. It is impossible to be happy all the time and it is important to honor feelings of sadness. Suppression of the "negative" aspects of human emotion lessens the opportunity to experience pure joy as well. It takes a great deal of energy to maintain a positive vibration and attitude when circumstances, experiences and hormones/ chemicals are dragging us down. Safe and controlled expressions of grief are opportunities to purge those emotions and create more room for joy, love and gratitude.
