THICH NHAT HANH on HUGGING MEDITATION
"Hugging Meditation is a deep practice; you need to be totally present to do it correctly. When we hug, our hearts connect and we know that we are not separate beings. Hugging with mindfulness and concentration can bring reconciliation,
"According to the practice, you have to really hug
the person you are holding. You have to make him or her very real in
your arms, not just for the sake of appearances, patting him on the back
to pretend you are there, but breathing consciously and hugging with
all your body, spirit, and heart. Hugging meditation is a practice of
mindfulness. “Breathing in, I know my dear one is in my arms, alive.
Breathing out, she is so precious to me.” If you breathe deeply like
that, holding the person you love, the energy of your care and
appreciation will penetrate into that person and she will be nourished
and bloom like a flower."
"Before hugging, stand facing each other as you follow your breathing and establish your true presence. Then open your arms and hug your loved one. During the first in-breath and out-breath, become aware that you and your beloved are both alive; with the second in-breath and out-breath, think of where you will both be three hundred years from now; and with the third in-breath and out-breath, be aware of how precious it is that you are both still alive."
"When you hug this way, the other person becomes real and alive. You don’t need to wait until one of you is ready to depart for a trip; you may hug right now and receive the warmth and stability of your friend in the present moment.When we hug, our hearts connect and we know that we are not separate beings. Hugging with mindfulness and concentration can bring reconciliation,
