Hug Therapy Is Real And It Works!
Hugs have always been considered a display of affection and other emotions. The hug, given or received, is a gesture full of feelings. When we meet or greet a loved one, partner or good friend, it’s always a great opportunity to receive and give a warm hug. In addition to being a manifestation of affection, hugs have a therapeutic power, did you know? That’s right! Currently, many people around the world are undergoing hug therapy as a form of relaxation to reduce their stress levels.
Stress-relieving hug therapy
In Europe, for example, stress is one of the great evils that afflicts the entire population. 6 million Italians suffer from work-related stress, according to research, especially women.
Stress affects the entire world population and the most worrying thing is that many are unaware that a gesture as simple as a hug can alleviate this evil. Hug therapy can therefore have a real effect, but many don’t know it.
When we receive or give a hug, we release serotonin and dopamine which improve our mood and positively influence our health and that of those we hug. This is why hug therapy works.
Hug your child
The hug is the first form of medicine and protection in the world. Science has shown that a puppy of any species can find relief from his fears, doubts, cold, nervousness in a warm embrace ; Adults also feel comforted, accompanied, relieved and in tune with the world when they receive a strong hug. It can therefore be said that hug therapy is actually an invention as old as life itself.
Your child will feel safe every time you hug him, this gesture will be enough to make him understand what you feel and to make him feel loved. Do not forget that physical contact plays a very important role in the development of neurons, so it is essential to stimulate them since babies are born.
We need each other. We need to show affection, to hug, to give, to be available, to be warm, to be warm – all of this is essential to living happily. Embrace your children and your family, embrace with love, embrace with your soul!
There are different types of hugs
Not all hugs are the same, there are many ways to hug and each hug makes you feel different emotions. There are hugs that are given with the whole body and soul, giant and strong like those of a bear ; there are hugs that intertwine the bodies; there are hugs that bring the cheeks closer and are sealed by tender kisses on the front and, why, also by tickling; there are peaceful hugs, which make the heartbeats of those we hug echo.
Don’t limit yourself, you can embrace your cases while walking close together, when watching television or the sunset together … Any excuse is good to hug someone, especially if you are aware that physical contact expressed with a caress or a hug has therapeutic and analgesic power even for the most acute pains, it improves the immune system, makes us feel better, more loved, stronger, more connected to life.
Think for a moment … the pharmaceutical companies have offered the market hundreds of drugs to relieve the symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety or to strengthen the immune system and much more, but unfortunately they have not been able to concentrate in a single product all the therapeutic virtues of a hug.
The secret lies in the fact that with hugs we communicate with a primitive language, the body language, and we can reach the heart, dreams and soul of those who receive our gesture and the same is true when we receive a hug.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t get very close or if, on the other hand, you cling to your loved ones, your children, and cling to their shoulders or to life. The “presentation” of the embrace does not matter, the intention that accompanies it counts.
So, now that you know all the positive aspects of hugs, what are you waiting for? Embrace with everything you have, love and energy will make your gesture magical and unforgettable.
