evileI got on the official cuddle party mailing list a while back, when I was thinking of becoming an official, certified cuddle party(tm) facilitator. This email was...interesting. I'd never thought about it before. I wonder if there's any validity to this...
TODAY'S CUDDLE TIP - "How To Hug"
Today's cuddle tip comes courtesy of a website called coffetalk.com, from which I often receive interesting ayurvedic health tidbits and miscellaneous bits of information and wisdom. I thought I would pass the following along to you FYI:
HOW TO HUG......Most times, at least here in the U.S., when we go in for a hug we go towards the person's right cheek. Maybe this is because most of us are right handed, but it seems to be the norm. If you do the muscle testing after this hug, you'll find that your muscle is weaker, meaning your energy level is down. However, when we hug left cheek to left cheek instead, the muscle testing shows that we are stronger, or that our energy level is up. Why is this? When we hug on the right side, we're connecting liver to liver. Our liver is where we hold our anger, so we are actually sharing our anger with each other for a brief moment. That weakens our energy. On the other hand, when we hug left to left, we connect at our heart centers, where we hold our love. So for that brief moment, we are sharing our love from that place in our hearts. Try it, and see if you can feel the difference!
(The website also references a new book that might interest those of you who are in supervisory or entrepreneurial roles called "Hug Your People: The Proven Way to Hire, Inspire, and Recognize Your Employees and Achieve Remarkable Results" by Jack Mitchell, available at amazon).
