GOOD HUGS CAN HELP YOU BEAR ANYTHING
Hugs are not only nice, they are needed. Hugs can help relieve pain and depression, make the healthy healthier, the happy happier and the most secure among us even more so. Hugging feels good, overcomes fears, eases tension, provides stretching exercise if you are short, provides stooping exercise if you are tall. Hugging also does not upset the environment, saves heat, is portable, requires no special equipment, makes happy days happier, & makes impossible days possible.
Here are some main types of hugs.
THE A-FRAME HUG
Stand facing each other, arms wrapped around each other's shoulders, sides of heads pressed together, bodies not touching below the shoulders. The length of time spent this way is usually brief, since this is often a \"hello or good-by\" hug. The A-frame hug is most appropriate for situations that require a degree of formality. Because it is relatively non-threatening it is comfortable for shy or unpracticed huggers. An A-frame hug is particularly apt for a great-aunt you haven't seen since you were a toddler; your husband's boss's wife; your former academic adviser.
BACK-TO-FRONT HUGS
In the back-to-front hug (also known as the waist-grabber), the hugger approaches the other from the back, folds arms around his or her waist and gives a gentle hug. The waist-grabber is the perfect hug to give someone who is peeling potatoes, scrubbing pans over a kitchen sink or otherwise engaged in some stand-up chore. The feeling behind it is happy and supportive. (Even more supportive would be the back-to-front hug followed by the picking up of a dish towel and applying it to the pans.) Back-to-front hugs are for
house-husbands, housewives and other live-ins; co-workers on an assembly line, & friends whose occupations require facing mostly in one direction-like raspberry pickers or mail sorters.
CHEEK HUG
A very tender, gentle hug - that often has a spiritual quality. It can be experienced comfortably sitting down, standing up, or even with one hugger sitting and one standing. Press the sides of your faces together, check to cheek. Breathe slowly and deeply. Within a few seconds you will feel very relaxed. The cheek hug often stirs deep feelings and kindness, especially when participants are close friends. A cheek hug is a tasteful way to greet anybody, friend or relative, who is seated. It says a wordless \"I'm sorry\" about a friend's disappointment; or shares a friend's joy at a happy occasion.
HEAT-CENTERED HUG
Many consider this the highest form of hugging. It begins with direct eye contact as the two huggers stand facing each other. Then they wrap arms around each other's shoulders or back. Heads are together, and there is full body contact. The hug is firm, yet gentle, as the huggers focus on the compassion that is flowing from one heart into the other. The heart-centered hug is full and lingering, caring and tender. It acknowledges that place at the center of each of you where pure, unconditional love may be found.
A HUG MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ALL DAY!!!!!
