Have you ever thought about what it’s like for someone to receive a personal hug from you?
I had never thought about it myself, until about 10 years ago… when someone close to me told me that I need to learn how to give a better hug. Now, to some people, that may seem like an insensitive, harsh comment, right? At the time that it happened, I was a bit reactive to this. Looking back from this point of view in time, however; I couldn’t be more grateful for this interaction, because now it makes me stop and think about what kind of hug I want to give to anyone that I come in contact with. It’s a beautiful, important way to show someone how you truly feel about them! I have also learned that simultaneously sending out energy or “vibes” from your heart center when you are giving a hug ABSOLUTELY makes the experience so much more powerful and meaningful!
Hugs are so much more important than they seem, and are quite underrated in today’s world, when emotions are so charged and polarized. So let’s think about this…. What kind of hug do you give to someone, based on your relationship with them? There are so many different ways to hug someone to show them how you feel. Here are a few examples:
Tight Squeeze ~ Self explanatory. These, by far, are the most loving and meaningful!
One Arm Reach ~ For friends, acquaintances; those that want to show care and comfort.
Bear Hug ~ Wrapping your arms around someone else. Emotional attraction usually involved!
Long Hold Hug ~ They type given when someone is missed or will be missed. It sometimes says “I need help” without any words spoken. It’s a hug that means special attention is required, or that they consider you to be very close.
Sneak Attack Hug ~ Important - comes from anywhere, it’s a fun yet intimate hug!
Straddle Hug ~ The frisky, intimate hug. Don’t just hug anyone like this, or you may be sending the wrong signal, ha!
London Bridge Hug (I also call this the “Hover” hug) ~ This is the awkward hug with someone that you are not very fond of! Only the top part of the body touches.
Quick Back Pat Hug ~ This is the hug two people will sometimes give each other when they don’t want others to see them show any affection! It’s completely normal and common to give a hug like this during a quick interaction.
Twirling Around Hug ~ A hug like this between 2 people signifies that they enjoy spending time together and are not afraid to show playfulness.
Hug Around the Waist: A sign that your partner is comfortable. Can also be a sign of lust.
Back Stroke Hug: Common with friends. Very common, tells the other person that you wish them well. The friendliest type of hug that you can get that is genuine and meaningful.
Sloppy Hug~ Usually has no positive meaning what so ever. It has no love or meaning attached to it, and is usually done to be polite. Why waste your time with this one?
Pick-pocket hug ~ Hands in each other’s back pockets while walking. Usually for couples only (or literally performed by a pick-pocketing professional - watch out, now!)…
So, what can you take out of this little exercise learning about hugs today? Pay attention to how you give them; and pay attention to how you receive them. They are so much more than just a way to interact with each other. You can honestly tell how someone truly feels about you by the way they give you a hug.
We are FINALLY coming out of a devastating world pandemic, where we have been forced to refrain from any form of face to face physical contact for over a year. Now is the time where physical interactions truly mean more than ever to those of us that really need the physical presence of others back in their life!
**Gentle Disclaimer: You should only hug someone if it is not an invasion of their personal space, and it should only be done with permission from both participants. If someone does not wish to be hugged, you should honor this!**
