Human contact is essential to our existence; it’s been physically, scientifically and psychologically proven. We’ve all had a moment where we just needed a hug. A seemingly small gesture that fulfills so many of our needs; comfort , security, love. A hug can truly be the glue that holds us together; providing the strength to continue; or the safety to fall apart! A hug is so universal that much like spoken language a hug communicates a wide variety of messages that transcends all races, ethnicities and cultures! Simply based on how it is given and when it is needed; a hug says so much: Hello, I missed you, I love you, I need you, It’s going to be ok, I’m here for you, You’re not alone.
Each and every hug makes a profound statement; a line of communication shared between the two people engaged in the hold and touch. Let’s keep the lines of communication open. Let’s continue to share and spread love.
Was there a moment that you received a hug when you needed it most? Who did it come from?
