A Yawn is the brain's natural way of rapidly increasing the amount of oxygen taken into the lungs for use by the body during times of fatigue. It is triggered by very delicate mental cues and accordingly, can be triggered by seeing someone else yawn or even thinking about yawning long enough.

"Laughter is the best medicine" has its roots in fact.  The endorphins released during laughter can greatly improve one's overal mental and physical state, and of course, the better one feels mentally and emotionally, the better one feels physically.  Laughter exercises the diaphram and also increases blood (and oxygen) flow to the brain and other parts of the body, and this is always good.  Laughter, contrary to many Old Wive's Tales, does NOT make you "fat and jolly." Crying is a two edged sword.  Crying is important in that it helps release the negative affects of upsets and pain and truly helps a person emotionally heal; people who can't cry are prone to both mental and health problems, and unreleased emotions (fear, pain, upset, sadness) can cause serious physical problems and disease, even cancer.  On the other hand, persistant crying can physically and emotionally drain a person (not to mention cause unsightly red, puffy eyes), causing real depression and the body's natural balance to go on tilt which can cause physical ailments.

Most mammals will produce tears in response to extreme pain or other stimuli, but crying as an emotional reaction is considered by many to be a uniquely human phenomenon, possibly due to humans' advanced self-awareness. Some studies suggest that elephants and gorillas may cry as well.

They are produced by our tear glands which are found in a region just above our eyes.  They are stimulated to secrete tears by feelings such as sadness.

You just don't like to make a spectacle of yourself, and that is an admiring attribute.  \n\nYou simply like to cry on your own terms and in your own place, not publicly.  \n\nNow for me, sometimes I can't control the tears...watching a "chick flick" or a really inspiring church service...and that's okay too.

Crying is an art perfected by the release of tears to express inward frustration of an individual.When under water all the body fuculties will act normally adopting to the new underworld environment.When you psychologically feel the essence to let it out,i.e cry,you`ll definately do that and this time round your frustration will not be expressed by tears but by facial expression owing to the fact that water will definately dilute the visibility of any tears due to it`s volume.

Oh I cry for any reason at all! Even when I'm really angry I just cry. I think happy tears flow more easily because we LET them come. Tears for sorrow are reluctant tears.

Crying, the shedding of emotional tears, is a distinctly human activity.  There are one or two anecdoted reports of elephants crying but  J M Masson and S McCarthy in their book 'When Elephants Weep' ultimately accept there is little evidence that elephants weep.  Thomas Scheff (1984) argued in 'The Taboo on coarse emotions' that despite the uniqueness of tears in mankind, there has been a sort of taboo on researching this.  There were virtually no research papers in the mid twentieth century on tears, as opposed to say 100,000 published papers on the characteristics of the fruit fly!\n\nThree types of tears have been identified physiologically.  Basal or continuous tears which lubricate the eye, reflex tears when chopping onions and emotional tears, which have psychological meaning.  There is some evidence that the different types of tears have different chemical and hormonal compositions (Frey & Langseth 1985, Van Haeringen 1981).  Crying follows a physiological pattern which often starts with a distressing thought, memory or experience and consists of distinct patterns of restricted breathing with tears building up to a crescendo, in which the sobbing is at its most rapid and intense and after which the person relaxes.  The thoughts and memories cease to evoke an intense response.  It is at this stage that people often report the feeling of relief conveyed by the expression 'having a good cry'.  A very similar pattern is found in laughter, particular the infectious laughter of a group, again with tears but the starting stimulus involves humour rather than sadness or loss.\n\nSince the notion of catharsis described by Artistotle in the "Poetics", the idea of the purgative properties of expressing emotion have been with us.  Tom Lutz in his insightful analysis of catharsis (1999) traces the general role of catharsis in many schools of psychotherapy and notes the deeply held views of psychotherapists and of their patients in the value of crying.  In contradiction, he notes that general lack of experimental evidence for the therapeutic value of crying (Littrell 1998, Cornelius 2001, Nicols and Zax 1970).  Reviewing the possible psychological processes underlying catharsis, he distinguishes two main models, the somatic-emotional and the cognitive-emotional.  The first attributes the therapeutic value of catharsis to the bodily experience of crying; the second to the cognitive changes or 'coming to terms with issues' inherent in crying.\n\nWhatever the process might involve, it would seem that tears are a special example of emotional processing.  They share a stimulus input, an affective experience and behavioural expression as outlined in the emotional processing model.  \n\nUnderstanding how tears might operate to reduce a sense of distress would help us to understand more about how emotional processing might generally operate in reducing emotional hurt.
