The Art of Hugging

I wondered how this topic fits in with Reiki, Sound Therapy and energy healing. My husband Tom said hugs are an exchange of energy between two people. We hug someone to show love, whether it is between friends, family members and/ or lovers. Some people talk or sigh when they hug, which creates vibrations between the two people.
Scientists have done numerous studies on the benefits of hugging: when you hug someone it releases Oxytocin, also known as ‘the cuddle hormone.’ Psychologists also say that Oxytocin promotes feelings of devotion, trust and bonding. Hugging has been proven to directly fight feelings of loneliness as well as improving one’s health conditions by lowering blood pressure and decreasing heart disease. Hugging is one the best types of touch to express our feelings for others.
