8/DAY & 12/DAY

Who knew?

As it turns out, yogis seem to know this is the formula: 8 hugs per day for maintenance and 12 per day for good health, Yoga teachers have been saying this for years. Now it is my mantra as well

It was my good fortune to hear about this custom while I was living in a large, indoor, community, where outside there were strong March winds, hail the size of spitballs, and snow till the end of March, perhaps the end of time ! No one ventured outside for long. and so, opportunity was ripe !

My first way to get hugs was just to explain the theory and wrestle the receiver into one

Secondly I would march up and say: You need 8 hugs a day and I am here to help you out,

By the third day I was reduced to approaching strangers. And then something happened: Everyone hugged me…..to illustrate that in a small community the word gets around,

So start with the first one you see and watch your hug community grow !
