It will relax your sympathetic nervous system, it will decrease your metabolic rate you’ll feel more panic at first. You’ll try to resist it, but eventually you will feel your pulse rate slow. It’s ok. Your breath will come easier
It is true. Based on personal experience and intense research in the last couple of days, hugs seem to have numerous beneficial effects on our physical, mental and spiritual health.
Doctors say pretty much what I quoted above:
lower heart rates
lower blood pressure
stimulates nerve ending
increase circulation
decreased release of cortisol (a stress hormone)
release of dopamine and oxytocin (bonding hormone)
Dr Charmaine Griffiths, spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation, said: “Scientists are increasingly interested in the possibility that positive emotions can be good for your health.
“This study has reinforced research findings that support from a partner, in this case a hug from a loved one, can have beneficial effects on heart health.”
She added: “British Heart Foundation researchers have already demonstrated links between a positive emotional state, such as happiness, and low levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
“This growing body of research only goes to highlight how important social support is for everyone, not just those in a relationship.”
Psychologists tell us that hugs:
increased comfort level
enjoy being around other people
brings back happy memories
feel accepted and understood
feel compassion/compassionate
relive happy moments of our lives
can shatter metal blocks
Spiritual effects:
more open about our emotions
develop a greater sense of closeness and compassion
feeling comfortable and accepted gives us “permission” to discover who we are, what makes us happy, be ourselves
