What Hugging Can Do<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s wondrous what a hug can do. A hug can cheer you when you\u2019re blue A hug can say, \u201cI love you so,\u201d Or, \u201cI hate to see you go.\u201d<\/p>\n
A hug is \u201cWelcome back again.\u201d And \u201cGreat to see you! Where \u2018er you been? A hug can soothe a small child\u2019s pain And bring a rainbow after rain.<\/p>\n
The hug, there\u2019s just no doubt about it \u2014 We scarcely could survive without it! A hug delights and warms and charms; It must be why God gave us arms<\/p>\n
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers; And chances are your favorite aunts love them more than potted plants. <\/p>\n
Kittens crave them, puppies love them, Heads of states are not above them. A hug can break the language barrier And make your travel so much merrier.<\/p>\n
No need to fret about your store of \u2018em; The more you give, the more there\u2019s more of \u2018em. So stretch those arms without delay And give someone a hug today!<\/p>\n
Dean Walley, The Messenger<\/p>\n
Good for Emotional Well-Being<\/b><\/p>\n
Hugging can be vital for your emotional well-being. Everybody feels skin hunger throughout their lives, and unless that hunger is satisfied by touching, there\u2019s a vital void in the emotional make-up that\u2019s going to cause deep unhappiness. We all know that babies thrive on frequent stroking. Well, adults are no different. When they are not patted on the hand, embraced around the shoulder or hugged, they withdraw into themselves. <\/p>\n
I prescribe four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance and twelve for growth. <\/p>\n
Dr. Virginai Satir in Homemade, March, 1990<\/p>\n
Hugs are Needed<\/b><\/p>\n
Hugs are not only nice; they\u2019re needed. Hugs can relieve pain and depression, make the healthy healthier, the happy happier and the most secure among us even more so. Hugging feels good, overcomes fear, eases tension, provides stretching exercise if you\u2019re short and stooping exercise if you\u2019re tall. Hugging does not upset the environment, saves heat and requires no special equipment. It makes happy days happier and impossible days possible. – Kathy Tobin<\/p>\n
