Musings: Can A Hug Make You Happy?
“The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water. The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun. Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.” Mata Amritanandamayi, (The Hugging Saint)

Give Someone a Hug Today: We all need a loving touch and each of us reflect the same sun. In NYC, from this Sunday through Tuesday, Amma will be at The Javits Center, dispensing her special brand of hugging love. Go get a hug and give a hug

Hahaha! I agree?
Yup, sometimes a hug from one of my boys is all I need to make me happy!
Hugs are often healing. When I’m having a bad pain day and the grand kids give me a hug, it helps me relax and it brings my pain level bearable. So, yes, hugs can make me happy :).
Likewise… Hope you are doing okay?

A little bit of affection can go a long way, a nice huge once in a while would be nice and boost a person happiness in the day.
Hugs are like smiles. Even if it’s just a moment, it can warm a heart or relieve it, even if it’s temporary.
So true… they are like a warm smile. 🙂
Hug is so powerful and it indeed can make me happy. Love it!
Hugging is a form of comforting and making the other person secure, makes them feel better and of course happy knowing that someone do care for them.
I’m not sure if it can make you happy, regardless of circumstances but it is certainly one of the warmest, most comforting and enhancing things to receive when given sincerely
Yes, the warmth of a hug can trigger those wonderful inner feelings of joy/// A touch is vital to our survival. 🙂
I have to say 100% that hugs can make you happy! There is just something about an embrace with another human that gives a feeling of security and comfort.
Yes, I believe a hug can make you happy, especially a hug from our close friends and family!
A hug can make all the difference in the world! It is a great comfort and expression of love.
I love this post indeed and totally believe hugs can help people in so many ways. It is so important for all of us to know hugging is a part of nurturing. I have always gave hugs to those who need it. Thanks for sharing.
We shouldn’t take for granted to power of hugs. I love hugging my kids and my hubby often.
I so agree and it’s so simple!
Thank you … likewise. So good to hear form you. 🙂
I love getting hugs. It’s very comforting and it makes me feel that I’m special. It also gives me this warm fuzzy feeling that makes me smile & happy.
Absolutely! Hugs from my hubby, my kids, my granddaughters, family, friends… hugs are good for the soul!
A big YES for me. A hug or two makes me happy.
What a beautiful photo that is. I am not a hugger but a high fiver instead or touch my kids head.
Beautiful! I think I would have loved to have a hug from Mata!
Hugs definitely can make a person happy–even if they are saf at the moment. They can think back and know someone really cares.
You are so right, a hug can always make you happy. But I must admit that I won’t get near anyone who I am not totally comfortable with. My boys and dog (and hubby too) get the majority of my affection.
I firmly believe in the power of a hug! I find a lot of comfort when I’m given a hug of support. It can make a huge difference.
I agree! Hugs make everything better, my children actually believe that if I kiss their wounds, that they actually get better. They sometimes stop crying instantly when I give that kiss. Its amazing…so yes I believe that hugs heal.
I think a nice big hug can definitely make you happy!
Definitely. It’s comforting and it makes the person feel that you are there for him. Sometimes a hug is just what someone needs to feel better.
Love hugs!
I’ve always felt like hugs have magical properties. They make you feel so loved and secure!
I’m not a touchy person, but I do like receiving hugs. I normally just don’t give them away.
Nothing better than a hug! So comforting
This is totally an awesome post indeed. I totally believe that human contact especially big gentle bear hugs can do so much healing for people in many ways. Hugs are something I am big on and I taught my kids that hugging is something they should always do for loved one. Thanks for sharing.
Who doesn’t need a hug? I like it better than a kiss! LOL! I would love to have one everyday and I hope everybody does too, feels good!
hugs makes you feel secure and love.
Yes yes yes! Hugs for happiness, do hug everyone you love!
Back here to give you a virtual hug!
It has been known that human touch, specially hugging releases endorphins or the “feel-good” hormone. It releases stress, gives us the feeling of security, and boosts our self-confidence.
Hugs can make a huge difference. I know that when I’m feeling down and out, a hug from my spouse or kids gently lifts my spirits.
I love hugs so much!! They always make me smile. My mom, dad, sister, brother, husband, daughter, nephews, friends and babies. All hugs from these special people make me happy.
Hugs and kisses are simply the best! I’m lucky I have a toddler who I can always get hugs and kisses out of (well, almost always). I’m already dreading the days down the road when he’ll be “too cool” for giving his mama some love!
I only hug if I know somebody but if not, I will just say “Hi”
Hugging is very powerful medicine to make someone feel so comfort and secure & to let them know that you are with them & you stand by them. A great way to express your love!
Yes it can. Hugs are so powerful and makes any day a little better.
Yes, it can. hugs are best cure ever 🙂
I believe so too. 🙂
My son gives the best, impromptu hugs. He must get it from his daddy, who is such a kind soul!
Wonderful!
Yes I believe a hug can bring happiness, because it embodies an emotional/energetic exchange of Love and good will. I love getting hugs from my husband and children.
I concur … they are an energetic exchange of love/good will. TY! 🙂
A hug does make a difference in your day. I love hugging family and friends I care deeply for. My kids do the same.
