Hugging. Simple one would think. Two or more people placing their arms around each other as a gesture of a greeting, solace, comfort, celebration or even reconciliation.
But have you hugged from a space of connection, with nothing to do or be, but to feel yourselves in your truest feelings in that moment? I refer to this as conscious hugging. No agenda of sexual gain, no agenda of buttering someone up. all agendas stripped and left behind.
I have experienced the transformation of hugging in my own home. I have had family stay with me, people who need a place to stay as they travel through town, and I have raised two children into adulthood. And I can say the way I have evolved my hugging has transformed my relationships and my relating to others, and my community as a whole.
In the Art of Hugging we can enter a sacred space to explore the limits as individuals and a community that limits us from hugging fully.
Can you recall a time where you hugged long enough that you felt your souls connection?
For seasoned huggers, the space will provide a sanctuary for your continual delightful hugging meditation practice and sharing in a heart felt way.
For fresh huggers who may not have experienced the magic of hugging meditation – the space is created as a safe, loving container where the authenticity of meditating through hugging is felt. There is no sexual aversion, nor is the space a ‘pick -up’ event
On the eve of August 7th in Melbourne, there is an opportunity to:
~ Hug with purpose, intent and love from our hearts
~ Feel the change within when the bridge between our mind and body lessens. Release the triggers that limit us from hugging fully.
~ Feel the powerful energetic connection that heals, transforms and awakens
~ Feel connected and aliveness run through your body, and take the experience out to others
~ Experience the effects of hugging for prolonged time (longer than 20 seconds)
~ Learn the teachings and practice of the hugging meditation as taught by the great prophet Thich Nhat Hahn
