Rating: 5 out of 5

A particular friend and I have evolved our own vocabulary for hug, and for the properties that a hug represents. So I decided to get a copy of this book as further research. Simple, but cute illustrations. Nice observations. A nice book for a lover of hugs.

Highlighted passage:

On visualisations: > “Sit in a comfortable, quiet place and close your eyes. Breathe slowly and deeply four or five times and let your body relax totally. Imagine yourself walking along and meeting a good friend. Picture the two of you saying hello by putting your arms around each other and sharing a heart-centred hug.

Keep the picture in your mind as you sense good feelings of affection and warmth. It is important to put the imagined picture and the feelings together”
