The best medicine
Hugs are supposed to be great. The best hugs are great. But are we too scared to give each other proper, heartfelt hugs?
How do you like yours?
I like huggers who hug gently but completely. A hug of kindness, from top to toe, long enough for the kindness to sink in. A gift of a hug, that gives energy and kindness and doesn’t take. A hug that doesn’t hurt or strangle. A hug that leaves me tingling with life. A hug I want to repeat…
A hug should be two-way, that gives and receives at the same time.
But a return hug should be received, not taken. Do you get the difference? Receiving the love or kindness from your hugger is allowing them to give; taking from your hugger is a bit like a vampire sucking the life out of a victim.
‘Give me a hug’ is the cry of a needy person. “Let me give you a hug” is the offer of a generous soul.
Heartfelt hugs are life-affirming, kind and loving
The best hugs feel safe and warm, gentle but firm, kind, giving, open, no-strings, head to toe, wholehearted and heart-felt. The best hugs are life-affirming, reviving, reassuring, generous, sharing, unconditional kindness.
