The Hugging Site

(Halia suomeksi)

Most of us have some type of difficulties in expressing ourselves or we just don't share our feelings enough with the people next to us. Often it's all because our western culture has this peculiar way to emphasize solidness and individualism in our behaviour. One way to enrich communication, and at the side the best and sometimes even the worst parts of our lives, is hugging.

Hugging is one of the most complex and many sided ways of communication. Thru hugs we can spread our spoken language to the language of wider expression. In different hugs we may speak of security, confidence, trust and sharing in a manner that no word can tell. In these ways hugging someone may also do good for one's self -esteem. "WOW, he/she is accepting me just the way I am!" The precious moments of living get also a new significance when we add hugs into them.
