23 Mar How to Receive a Virtual Hug

• Visualize the person who sent it to you
• Remember a time when you got/gave a hug that was really satisfying and comforting
• Bring your awareness to your body
• Recall the experience of that comforting hug.
  • The touch of the arms around you.
  • The feel of the other person in your arms.
  • Your head against them.
  • Maybe you can remember the scent of their hair, clothes, skin.
  • Were there sounds as you relaxed into the hug? Can you hear them in your mind?
• Summon that comfort as fully as you can
• Now, keeping that memory in your awareness, imagine that all of the cells of your body are like little sponges, able to soak up and drink in the experience
• Allow your body to absorb the physical memories of being hugged
• Feel it filling you up and becoming part of your cellular memory
• Bring your mind back to the person who sent you a virtual hug
• Imagine them there with you, hugging you as you were hugged in the past

You have now fully received their virtual hug!
