The Power Of A Hug

I don't think we have ever valued a hug as much as we do now, the mere fact that a pandemic has physically distanced us is something we should analyze.

A famous phrase from a Virginia psychotherapist is:
"We need 4 hugs a day to survive, 8 to support ourselves and 12 to grow." The number of hugs has not been scientifically proven, but there is evidence that shows the importance of hugs and physical contact.

For me this time has been hard, because normally when we go through hard times, we lose a loved one, the most comforting thing is a hug.In the middle of the pandemic a friend died from covid-19, and it feels frustrated not being able to hug our loved ones.

I am aware that a hug does not have the solution to the problems nor will it change the situation but I am sure that it heals wounds, caresses the soul, refreshes the heart...A hug is a token of love, it is someone telling you here I am accompanying you in your suffering...How much a hug is worth, it is God in reorese

There is a suit that fits all bodies... a hug.

Be prepared and when you can, start hugging whoever needs it, sometimes our home and family just need a hug.Hugging is speaking the language of the heart.

Today, I don't have the opportunity to hug many colleagues, but I can hug my parents and siblings, and now I take advantage of every day to hug and love them. How much silence accompanies a hug, and how much is said through it!

Let's listen to this beautiful song to embrace and share love.

In conclusion, we can say that the power of hugs goes beyond what is perceived with the sense of touch. They stimulate the senses, provide affection, accompany, protect, soothe, inspire and, in short, encourage.
