The Importance of Hugs

Research proves that hugs help people both psychologically and physically. According to Louise Hay, we need four hugs a day for survival, eight hugs a day for maintenance, and twelve hugs a day for growth and development. In ancient Eastern scriptures, hugs are described as a very important action for any person, having a healing and rejuvenating effect, where there is an exchange of male and female energies. All beings around us await our warmth and kindness.
