Aww…. This girl was out one day giving free hugs all over Manhattan, I know cos I saw her a couple of times once at Canal st & Broadway where i took up her offer of a good quality hug. And then again at the union square christmas market.

But what really makes a good hug? The actual hug technique? Or the meaning behind the dispensing and acceptance of the hug?

Good hugs are so important. People who don’t understand that are missing out. The emotions infused in and out of your bodies when hugs are given and received is what makes a hug work. Hugging also creates (noninvasively!) the closest distance between two hearts, better fascilitating this infusion of feelings which are possibly centred in the central mediastinal area.

Go forth! Give a hug! Ask for a hug!
