Hugs Are Healing.
Humans have an innate need for connection, deeply embedded in our biology, far more profound than we often realize.
Hugging provides both psychological and physiological benefits, and it's even used as a therapeutic tool for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
How can we make room for genuine hugs to elevate the collective consciousness of love and unity on our planet?
I’m All About Hugs. I Love Giving Them.
However, I also want to emphasize that it's perfectly fine to opt out of hugging. It's essential to choose when and if you want to engage in a hug.
This is especially crucial for children — teaching them that they have the freedom to decide when and how to hug empowers them and helps build the inner resources they need to feel safe and connected to the world.
Like with many things, the magic of a hug lies in being fully present. Instead of doing it out of habit, or letting your mind drift to the next thing, can we pause for a moment and really savor the joy of a hug today?
