| John and I sharing a hug |
Another way of practicing the Five Remembrances is through something Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh calls hugging meditation. When your partner or children leave for work or school, hug each other for three full breaths, and remind yourself of the Fourth Remembrance.
You can see that John has availed himself of the hugging meditation, since he doesn't have anybody at home to hug. He and I hug once every morning when we are having our coffee. He's a really good hugger! Thanks to Michelle for the picture.

What a nice thought; perhaps I should look into Buddhism a little bit. We all need more hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thought. And how lovely that John has found someone to hug (and to be hugged by).
ReplyDeleteBeing a good hugger is a marvelous gift. So glad you both have one in your lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo!
ReplyDeleteThe warmth of human touch/hug. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, D J... I love this whole concept!!
ReplyDeleteIf only more people were hugged...what might the world look like today?
ReplyDeleteThere are many things we can learn to gain peace and good health. Practising them is another thing. You are doing well in the practising.
ReplyDeleteHugs are always good. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember that post. I will try to remember to practice this.
ReplyDeleteHuman contact, especially hugs, are SO SO healing! I love this!
ReplyDeleteGood long hugs with someone you care about are wonderful. I get hugs from each member of McFamily when I leave. Yes, they're wonderful!! :) That is so nice you get hugs in every day at the coffee shop, too!!
ReplyDeleteGive John a hug from me too! I bet he hugs like a big old bear:)
ReplyDeleteHe's getting hugs from all your fellow bloggers!
ReplyDeleteI like the concept!
