The healing arts are not a new concept, by any means. Actually, the concept of incorporating art into the healing process has ties throughout history. Healing art dates back to the Indian ages. The first healing art activity known to man, was the ritual of music and dance performances. This activity was known as "boiling energy". Tribes would gather and dance wildly until a meditative state, creating healing energy. Within time, costumes, storytelling, and painting were added to the ritual. Through time, research, and study, the knowledge of arts in healthcare has blossomed. People, including medical staff, are realizing the importance of art in the healing process, and linking art to the recovery and rehabilitation plan.
Today's activity: a hug.
By definition: to embrace, squeeze (tightly), in your arms, usually with fondness.
Today my wish for you is to reach out and hug someone! A simple hug creates a feeling of love, care, and compassion, while creating a powerful positive surge of energy. Hugs can be shared in good times, and in bad time. Hugs make people feel safe and secure. Hugs break down barriers, and bond. People in society are social creatures, and have the need of being loved and cared for. A hug is a such a simple gesture, yet it has such HUGE meaning behind it. Today, reach out and hug someone. Someone who is sick, lonely, or completely full of joy!
And I leave you with this quote:
"Hugs, hand-shakes, even a good intentioned touch, transfers useful energy to boost the immune mechanism in the body."
