No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relax-able;
It can't be be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously,
Relieves your tension and your stress,Pooh and Piglet Hugging
Invigorates your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,....the hug!
(and of course fully returnable!)

A hug is like a boomerang -
you get it back right away.

Everybody needs a hug.
It changes your metabolism.

but you can wrap a person in a hug.

Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus,
so I could hug 10 people at a time!

A Hug Is Two Hearts Wrapped In Arms
~Unknown
I will not play Tug O' War,
I'd rather play Hug O' War;
Where everyone hugs, instead of tugs,
And everyone giggles and rolls on the rug.
Where everyone kisses,
and everyone grins;
everyone cuddles,
and everyone wins.
~Shel Silverstein
Guidelines for Hugging
Be compassionate, not passionate --
communicate comfort and caring.
Ask for permission -- hugging requires a sender and receiver. Accepting that hugging isn't for everyone is simply another form of understanding and acceptance.
Ask permission when you need a hug. Hugging for wellness is a practice of sharing -- if you need a hug simply ask for one. And if you receive a hug, let the sender know you are appreciative.
Take responsibility for expressing what you need.
