It's International Hugging Day!

Inviato il 21 Gennaio 2024

Go hug someone today...

How many hugs are you getting each day?

Did you know that you need four hugs a day to survive?! And, you need eight hugs a day to simply maintain. However, in order to actually grow, you are going to need twelve embraces a day. This is science people. So, are you thriving or barely surviving? This may seem silly or simple to some, but as a hug master- I can tell you from experience, that it makes a huge difference in your life. You'll automatically feel the side effects, too. I'm not just talking about a quick hug, but a really good, really long, 20-30 second soft squeeze. When you press your heart up against someone else's, something magical happens. Energy is transmuted and healing occurs. Wrapping your arms around someone and gently holding them is a sign of compassion and care, and I would venture to say cure all. When you are enveloped in another one's arms, you get a feeling of safety, of security, of warmth, and love. The other great thing about hugs is that you can't really give one without getting one in return. See the joy that you feel, the energy exchange, and the moment of pause with someone else. I love the kiss-kiss here in Italy, but I require them to hug me too. I actually wanted to do a flash mob hug event in Piazza Repubblica today, but I ran out of time. So unless someone sees this now and wants a hug from me in Florence, hit me up. I'm at a deficit cause I was only able to give and receive ten hugs today and need at least two more. (I'm trying to grow daily, plus I have a lot of love to give). Sending a hug to each one of you out there. Love you. Now go hug someone. And repeat.

Want a hug?

For any of those coming to the Transformative Experience, there will be plenty of hugs, just a warning. Physical touch is important to all human beings, and especially since covid, many people have grown accustomed to not touching and not hugging. This is killing us faster than anything else. If you or someone you knows struggles with physical touch, in any way, please feel free to reach out. We can talk through what has happened and what you want to happen, then make that happen. The only thing constant in life is change, and we can change too, if we want to. The work we do is sacred and I'm not saying it is easy. But if you want a change in your life, I can help.

The Substitute

Sometimes when I want to be touched, The Substitute does the trick, too. I mean, it's not quite a substitute for that, but it does feel good, regardless. The Substitute will give you a quick fix for that among other things, and because using it is based on breathing, you'll feel even more aroused. When you couple physical touch with concentrated conscious breathing, it heightens your experience. Close your eyes and touch yourself right now. And while you're at it, take three deep breaths. Now, of course you can breath on your own, but The Substitute is a great tool to use to help you breathe more deeply. It feels like you're inhaling a cigarette, but with no harmful or unhealthy side effects. It has no tobacco, no toxins, simply air, which means you can use it anywhere. Even in the bedroom...

The Books- Available on Amazon and Audible (and Italian!)

You only live once, so you should hug as many people as possible.

Hugging is good for your mind, body, and soul.
