The Healing Power of Hugs: Balancing Touch and Distance

Did you know that a simple hug could be your most powerful tool in combating stress and boosting your immunity? Come, let’s embark on an enlightening journey as we unravel the intricate intricacies of physical touch and its profound influence on our well-being and development right from our infancy. We’ll be unraveling the fascinating findings of world-renowned family therapist Virginia Satir who strongly recommends a daily quota of 11 hugs for a healthy life. Feeling the chills when someone crosses your personal bubble? Or sensing an immediate calm when a friend places an understanding hand on your shoulder? We’ll be navigating through these and more as we discuss the importance of balancing physical distancing with our innate need for touch, especially in the years after the pandemic.  Additionally, we’ll explore the significance of teaching our children about consent, the right to demand and deny hugs and how to express their need for affection. Let’s learn together how to give a healing hug and why we should let it linger till the other person lets go. Let’s touch hearts through touch!
