Hugging therapy is
an intense way of therapeutic curing and well-being. Various researches have
revealed the magical effects of hugging on an individual. Let’s explore…
1: The encouraging touch when two people hug
raises among them the level of faith
and security. This is what makes them communicate openly and honestly about all
things in life and thus, lays the foundation for a stronger bond.
2: A hug is known to instantaneously enhance
the levels of oxytocin in humans. This hormone helps to do away with the
feelings like being left alone or being in anger.
3: If a hug is extended for a longer period of
time, it elevates the levels of serotonin within the body. This in turn
refreshes mood and makes the person happy.
4: Hugging therapy can improve the immune
system of body. While hugging, tender force applies to the lower end of
sternum. This pressure along with the heightened emotional levels tends to
activate the Solar Plexus Chakra in an individual. This move leads to better
regulation of hormones from the thymus gland which is responsible for producing
white blood cells within body. WBCs are the cells within body help build
immunity to fight against the disease-causing allergens.
5: It is a biologically-linked fact that hugs
relax the muscles of body. When people hug, the tension formed in the body is
relaxed and if any aches or inconvenience is felt in any part of the body, it
is relaxed by the increased blood flow to the soft tissues of the body.
6: Hugs are a silent language in which we can
share love and receive love. The flow of love and care from both the ends is
equally important. In a stressful daily life, it’s something like a must-get
for good well-being.
7: Hugs do get you to the nerves, literally!
The response of human skin to hugs leads to the conductance of electrical
signals in skin thereby balancing the nervous system state.
8: Hugs are no less than involving in laughter
and meditation as they provide an essence of relief to the mind. Getting a hug
relieves the mind from getting vague wandering thoughts and brings us back to
realize the beauty of the
moment. This activity draws in immense flow of positive energies and helps in
framing an optimistic outlook towards life while suppressing the noises that
deviate the individual from his normal life path.
9: When two people hug, at some level, energy
exchanges take place which serves as a big investment in their social bond. It
inspires compassion and thoughtfulness for the two in a relationship.
