A hug is generally a positive exchange of energy between two or more people. Healing is sometimes about simply having someone hold you in their arms and feeling their love, caring and compassion.

To many souls reality is a lonely, painful experience with nowhere to turn. A hug is a way to share both good and bad times with others. A hug can create a connection that one cannot express in words. Even a small hug generally makes everyone feel good. A hug can make one feel safe and secure. It can lift our spirits and make us smile. Some people are not comfortable with the physical embrace, yet a quick hug can go a long way. A hug is meant for everyone.

Many of my clients like a hug when they leave here - our session having helped heal them on many levels and opened up new avenues of thought. It's kind of a completion or closure to the session - a hug being full circle.

Hugs are not much different than Reiki or any other contact healing technique. It's all the same. It's all energy. Healing is energy. Healing is frequency. The nature of the harmonic is to create balance and raise frequency. Energy exchanges create an electromagnetic flow that can temporarily heal or at least bring someone into greater understanding about getting help. Without healing the emotional body though, all will revert back, or find another outlet of expression in physical reality.

There's nothing like the energy of a hug - an embrace that awakens the senses and speaks volumes without words. I love you, I appreciate you, I care, I get you, I will be there for you, Hello, Good-bye I will miss you ... and so much more.

Children can't always convey what they want to say but a hug is a universal way to express their feelings. Never forget that the expression The Inner Child is your emotional body! It sets the foundation for the years that follow.

Why warm hugs feel so good to your brain   Science Daily - January 5, 2026

Feeling warm or cold doesn't just register on the skin - it changes how connected we feel to our own bodies. Research shows that temperature sensations help shape body ownership, emotional regulation, and mental well-being. Disruptions in thermal perception are linked to conditions like depression, trauma, and stroke-related body disconnect. These insights could lead to new sensory-based mental health treatments and more lifelike prosthetics.

Science Confirms Hugs Can Ease Pain, Anxiety, And Depression  
Science Alert - April 17, 2024

You might have already guessed this, but science has confirmed it: Hugs are good for you. Hugs and other forms of physical touch can help with physical and mental health in people of all ages, according to a new review of 212 previous studies. New research, covering 12,966 participants across all of the various studies, provided some clarity. Touch was shown to help reduce feelings of pain, depression, and anxiety, and the positive effect was observed in both children and adults. While the type of touch (from hugs to massages) doesn't seem to matter too much, touching on the head or face appears to work best. Shorter and more frequent touches get more positive reactions, the study suggests.
