THE 3- BREATH HUG
Have you ever noticed how we hug?

It is almost like we have forgotten how to give and receive a full body hug. You know, feet on the ground, knees slightly bent, belly soft, pelvis and hips relaxed, chest receptive, arms gently wrapped around each other. And breathe!

I know this big-boned, 80-year old broad. Sharp as whip---with a heart as wide as the world. Hugging her is like sinking into satin. The woman lives in her body.

We all know when we have been hugged with love---the 3-Breath Hug---it takes about 15 seconds. (Longer when you are comfortable in your own body.)

Choose a person every day for a week, and after asking permission, embrace them heart-to-heart. Think of this hug as a revolutionary act in a culture that is increasingly afraid to stop, feel and be intimate. Heart-to-heart long enough to complete three easy breaths.

Want to feel your heart soften in less than 15 seconds? Give someone a 3-Breath Hug and you will begin to soften, becoming powerful like water.

And for God’s sake, if you see me---loosen that backbone, and lean into me
