The Power of "The Empowerment of the Hug"!

Have you ever "really" hugged someone? Did you receive a pat on the back hugging or did the person "really" take their time and were you both there for each other as you both embraced in a kind, caring, empathetic, and compassionate embrace?

Usually, one hugs with a friend, a relative, a significant other. It's unusual to hug with a stranger.
Some say we need three hugs like the one I describe above per day. While others say we need a minimum of five to seven hugs like the hug that I described above?

We definitely "need" hugs to stay emotionally healthy. Did you ever think about it in those terms. The hug as described above satisfies many significant emotional needs. The basic one being, the natural need to be touched. It just seems a no brainy but most who hug don't even think about it in that term. Humankind "needs" to just touch each other. However, there are many venues where hugging and touching are just taboo. For example, when a teacher hugs a child or when two of the similar sex hug each other.

Have you ever just stood in a circle with others and just held hands? Have you have placed your hands in a supportive position for another or they for you? How did it feel? Take a moment and think about it! Have you dared to maintain "eye" contact. Take but a moment and just look into the eye of the "eye" in the "I Dare to Heal" photo. Have you ever attempted "Dances of Universal Peace"? Dances of Universal Peace is a form of spiritual dancing, holding hands, eye contact, even hugging!

The action of the hug definitely entails a conversation in a forum!
