Call to Action: Change the Hug, Change the World!

This past weekend I was in Boulder, Colorado attending the inaugural 4-day Emerging Women conference. Day One involved a lot of hand shaking and introductions.

On Day Two we started seeing a whole lot of hugging with introductions as well as appreciations and celebrations of one another and expressions of delight and joy.

Day Three began the hugs of holding each other through tears and holding each other up off the floor. This is when it dawned on me.

We’re hugging WRONG!

Rather than angling to the left when moving in for a hug, we need to be angling in toward the right….so that our hearts can touch. (Be careful, let the one you’re hugging know vocally that you’re going in “heart to heart” otherwise you might bump noses.)

Can we all start changing the way we hug? Can we touch our heart to the heart of others? Can our heart space be opened to the heart space of others? Imagine the shift of hug power when heart energies combine.

Try this on and commit to spreading the change. Shake up the status quo, let love lead the way and experience & share deeper hugs. Reframe consciousness around hugging.

Day Four included a lot more hugging of appreciation and celebration, and sadly the dreaded hugs, and tears, of goodbye.

The next Emerging Women conference will be in the Fall of 2014 in New York City. Jump on the EW mailing list now to get the details as soon as they are released. This is a movement not to be missed!!

Now, go give someone a heart hug.
