Hugs

Yesterday was Day One of our certification course and the best part was meeting up with the workshop friends. So many of the members walked up to me and said they missed me. To be missed is a beautiful feeling because it reminds you once again that you are special.
Hugging also seems to be a very energizing action as I have realized and I think its awesome that we hug at HII. If you are not comfortable hugging, try it today and see how it works.
In our culture, to hug is to be physical and that is something that is inappropriate but if you believe that body language speaks louder than words, you can tell based on the energy of a hug.
A warm affectionate outgoing person would hug tighter and harder than someone who witholds himself.
Yet, we cant blame the one who cant hug completely cause he may have grown up in a family that never hugs or expresses love in physical ways.
At HII, you can hug not just one person but everyone so you can practice hugging and spread hugs to those around you.
Its easy to hug friends but to hug parents, grandparents, in-laws and your own children takes extending more than your hands, it can be very embaressing especially when you have never done it before.
On the last day of the workshop when we hugged every member, many of them cried. One of the girls was sobbing and when I hugged her she called it magic. The hug managed to shake the strongest of souls and erupted a volcano of emotions.

Hug one person today who you have never hugged before and leave a comment on your experience.
Hugs to you.
