The need to touch and be touched is established early in our lives, as we develop and grow in the omnipresent embrace of our mother's womb. Once we are born, separated from that sanctuary of connectivity, we begin to crave the physical embrace of our parents. As we age, we become more independent. Yet during times of triumph or trouble and during those moments when we are in need of reassurance, we can't help but long for a hug.
Because a hug requires two active participants, each individual taking part in the embrace experiences the pleasure of being embraced and the joy that comes from hugging someone. As both individuals wrap their arms
around one another, their energy blends together, and they experience a tangible feeling of togetherness that lingers long after physical contact has been broken. A heart hug is when you put your left arm over someone's
shoulder and your right arm around their waist. As they do the same to you, your hearts become aligned with one another other and loving, comforting energy flows between the two of you to flood your souls with feelings of love, caring, and compassion.
A hug is a pleasurable way to share your feelings with someone who is important to you. Depending on your relationship with the other person and the kind of message you wish to send to them, a hug can communicate
love, friendship, romance, congratulations, support, greeting, and any other sentiment you wish to convey.
A hug communicates to others that you are there for them in a positiveway. In an instant, a hug can reestablish a bond between long lost friends and comfort those in pain. The next time you hug someone, focus all of your energy into the embrace. You will create a profound connection that infuses your feelings and sentiments into a single beautiful gesture.
I want a hug! I think a hug would be tastier than a cookie. I don't get hugs very often (in person, I get online hugs all the time ) and am in dire need.
ROFL!!! You know I would never push you away like that.....unless its you pushing me away because you are all overwhelmed by mah mad supah huggin skillz.
Based on how much I like hugs, you'd be getting one two-minute hug every three minutes. Which means that 2/3 of your day would be spent giving me hugs. I'd give you 3-5 days (tops) before you started pushing me away. 1-2 weeks before you started doing this and this and probably this as well . And then I would be all like ; and you would be like .
Not to equate you with any of my pets....on a regular ( read all day long daily basis) I am sat upon ( that be my two pound terrier), clawed at for attention ( Hoody my oldest cat), Squeezed in by 14 pounds of love ( 'Manda- Hoody's granddaughter), lap napped by Let Let ( 13 pounds of weight.....with all four paws anchored in),Link my 65 dog gracefully ( as in a 1 legged Ox kind of graceful) clawing or pouncing me for attention, Ems ( the pitty mix) slowly squirming on the other end that 'MAnda hasn't taken up and when I get upstairs to my room Prissy is there. And waiting. And chirruping. Then chow chowing until she is on my chest face to face with me.
Bring it on. I have had Samurai Snuggle Training from The Masters.
