Power of a Hug


Do you really want me to answer... must be kidding...

It is so powerful and I am daring to scratch the surface of it...   generally it is a positive exchange of energy between two or more people... someone hold you in their arms and feeling their love, caring and compassion...

It has a great healing medicine to heal when you feel lonely, painful with no where to turn... lifts spirits and brings smile... of course it works in good times also... also creates connection when someone cannot express in words...

Size does not matter.. One size fits all... whether it is small or big or quick... the effect is same... and it works...

The great thing about it is..  never discriminates.. young or old... black or while.. small or big

Different styles of hugs
  • The A-frame hug, in which nothing but the huggers' heads touch.
  • The half-hug, where the huggers' upper bodies touch while the other half twists away.
  • The chest-to-chest burp, in which the huggers pat each other on the back, defusing the physical contact by treating each other like infants being burped.
  • The wallet-rub, in which two people stand side-by-side and touch hips.
  • The jock-twirl, in which the hugger, who is stronger or bigger, lifts the other person off the ground and twirls him.
