THE IMPORTANCE

OF HUGS

See that man? That is Dannion Brinkley and we are having a great time hugging. Los Angeles 2011 at a Reconnetive Healing conference. He was a guest speaker.

Dannion is the author of 4 books, one of which is SAVED BY THE LIGHT. In it he tells his story of how his physical body literally died on 3 separate occasions where he went somewhere and came back.

Dannion was a "bad ass"; sorry, his term not mine. He had an angry edge and was perfect for his "job". Trust me, you would not want your name on his "to-do" list.

One day, there was a hideous electrical storm, and Dannion "died" after being electrocuted. In the morgue his toe was tagged after he was pronounced. 

When he returned to his physical body he knew that he was presumed dead, and he had to find a way to get someone's attention. As much as he wanted to scream, the  electrocution rendered him voiceless. The only thing he could do was to blow on the sheet that covered his face in order to draw attention. It worked.  

For 28 minutes, Daniel left his physical body and went to who knows where.....In what felt like a lifetime, Daniel was exposed to what goes on after "death" and then came back to reveal what he learned, which was the genesis of his first book.

I absolutely loved the book and went on to read them all. His experiences were life changing to say the least. Daniel and his wife went on to create the Twilight Brigade, a volunteer organization that goes into VA hospitals and sits with dying veterans to assure them that their lives made a difference. Bad ass no more, to be sure.

At the conference I noticed that he did a lot of hugging. I mean, he hugged everyone. So I stepped up to the plate to get my hug. I personally love hugging, so I was up to the task.

What he said was this: "You can't do this on the other side. You won't have a physical body, and this is what you will miss the most."

So I hug. Physical touch is therapeutic. I don't need a research paper to prove that to me. Babies that don't get enough physical touch have failure to thrive syndrome. I believe that as adults if we don't experience enough love and physical attention, we too fail to thrive, and look to the wrong things to provide that affection, attention and comfort.  

So remember Dannion's words....we can't do this on the other side.... and increase your hug rate and help raise the vibration of the planet!
