Have you ever physically missed someone? I mean missed their physical being? How many times do you pay attention to the true feeling of hugging someone you love? I think most people take it for granted with a quick arms-entangled short embrace or just a one-armed obligatory hug. How does it make you feel to have their arms around wrapped around your body, your chests pressed together so that you can almost feel each other’s heart beating and to breathe in their scent as you put your head beside theirs? It’s the kind of embrace with someone you love that makes everything in the world just right for that few seconds. I miss someone like that a lot.
But that got me thinking about how I hug other people that I love like my mom and dad or my kids. I hug them, but most of the time, it’s mindless and I don’t really feel them. My mind is usually on to something else as we embrace. I’m setting a goal for myself to feel the physicality of and the emotion I have for each person I hug. It means so much to me to feel that with the person I miss. I know I take for granted that the rest of the loved ones in my life will always be here for me to hug. Not that I’m a huge spiritual person, but I think there is a positive flow of energy that comes from feeling each other and appreciating that they are in front of me, even just for a few seconds. Who can't use a little good ju-ju?
