Humanity, a hugging material..

Each one of us had passed a difficult situation that it was devastating for our soul.
The only thing that we want then, it was a contributing hug and some simple words like
“everything is gonna be alright”.
I have a niece, almost sever years old.

Since she was a baby when i was seeing her, my first thought and act was to hug her. Each time.
Now, after all this years, when she sees me her first move before inform me about her news, is to hug and squeeze me.
She is a very happy and dynamic girl and am sure that hugging have some part on that.
Almost one month before, i had a bad adventure with my home. She approached me, while i was trying to realize my situation, hug and told me “don't worry my sweet aunt, everything is gonna be ok.”
I cannot describe the feelings that i felt but her hug, at that particular time, gave me so much strength.

Let's see why we must hug each other from 6' to 20' seconds daily.
Hugs, releasing some chemicals in our brains that make us feel nice, like Oxytocin which provides us happiness, trust and devotion. Serotonin and dopamine makes us feel good . Reduce our blood pressure and make our heart strong.
If we are on a stressful situation and someone hugs us, cortisol the stress hormone, the heart rate and the blood pressure get lower.
So ,its clear scientific proved that hugging make us felling better.

Did you know that there is a hugging day international recognized ?
Yes it is, 21 January.

Animals don't hug each other.
Maybe is their body construction that cannot provide them something like that .
Except from monkeys.... They hold each other...

When we hug, our hearts connecting.
If your heart beating fast for a reason and you hug a calm person for at least 10' your hart beat and the pulse of your breath is going to synchronized with the others person.

Two days before i was at my friends house, with his two years old nephew.
He was very nervous and grumbling about everything.
Instinctively i took him in my hug and moved him slowly right and left.
With calm voice i told him a story with animals that came up to my head.
Five seconds later, i let him down and he was smiling and looked very happy.

Sometimes hugs can be super confusing.
There are a lot of non-hugging persons out there and personally I respect that.
Sometimes people confuse the signals in a hug.
Individuals ho grow up in an environment without physical touching and bonding will feel very uncomfortable when someone hugs them and will stand like a board on this.
We must no force anyone to anything.

If we like to look further the hugging subject, body language can explain a lot.
The types of hugs:
1.Polite hug (we keep distance, don't recommend that, If you don't feel comfortable why hug one person)
2.Quick, gotta go hug.
3.One arm, side by side arm.
4.Buddy hug.
5.Support hug (pure, warm, with a back rub)
6.Back stroke hug.
7.Bear hug. (Just love it! The huge hug that a woman can lost inside it)
8.Loooong hug.
9.Slow dance hug.
10.Tight squeeze hug.(i get that from my niece).
11.Around the waist hug.
12.Head to head hug with side to side hug.
13.Catches and lift you up hug.
14.Twirls around hug.
15.Look in the eye hug.
16.Sleepy hug.

And there are a lot of explanations about the way we hug our partner while we are sleeping.

So, my conclusion is simple, let's hug each other more often 'cause humanity is a hugging material.
