Read full post here. (c) Heal Your Mind and BodyYou can heal your mind and body through hugging. Yes, you heard me correctly. Studies show that hugging heals everything from emotions to diseases. It is also a fact that touching triggers healing in our bodies. A great example is that of premature babies in the hospital. The babies who are not touched regularly takes a longer time to develop or they may even die. The ones who are touched regularly feel the love and flourishes in top speed. Hugging keeps you healthy by strengthening the immune system. It also relieves stress and depression. The dictionary defines hug as: 1. To clasp tightly in the arms, with affection; embrace. 2. To cling firmly or fondly to; cherish 3. To keep close. Hugging is a way of saying that you care to someone or even to yourself. Hugging is a natural part of us as humans. How come we don't do it more often? If you can remember as a child you just loved hugging everyone and as you grew older you decided that hugging was not "adult." The fact is as we grow older the need for hugs grow with us, whether we accept that fact or not. Virginia Satir, Family Therapist made this observation: We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth. Imagine that, we should be hugging at least 4 times per day just for survival. There may be some of you saying that you are single and you work from home. So, there is no way you can even get one hug per day. Oh contraire my friend. You can hug yourself. That's right, it's called self-hug. You can hug yourself as many times as you want. One person even noted that it is cheaper than getting a massage. This is where the healing comes in. By you hugging yourself, you are connecting with your spirit and being centered. You are showing yourself love which leads to you feeling better about yourself. The benefits that you get after that are innumerable. Once you love yourself, then you can pass on that love to others. Once everyone gets into the practice of hugging a change in the environment follows. Once people start feeling good about themselves and others they can start the healing process of removing any dis-ease from their body. There are several types of hugs, I will tell you about three in this article: 1. The A-frame hug - this involves only the heads touching of each person. It is more formal in nature and generally used on new acquaintances or in a business setting. 2. The Heart-Centered hug - it is considered to be the highest form of hugging. This involves full body contact by both parties. This form of hugging acknowledges each other from deep within. It is usually reserved for very close friends and family. 3. The Self hug - this involves you hugging yourself. This hug allows you to show yourself love and compassion. It gives you a sense of self- worth. Here are a few benefits of hugging; this list is by no means exhausted: - Dispels loneliness - Opens the door to feelings - Eases tension - Builds self-esteem - Heals dis-ease - Balances your emotions - It is fun As I mentioned earlier, hugging is the most natural thing to do. We got our first hug as soon as we came into this world by the person who delivered us. Hugging does not have to be looked on as sensual. It is merely giving support and showing compassion to each other. Think about it, when you are feeling down or not feeling well, you perk up immediately if someone gives you a hug. I am encouraging you today, to start practicing this "lost heart of hugging?." I said heart, hugging is from the heart. You are sharing from the heart. Remember to hug yourself first.
