Day 8: 19 Mindful Hugs
Eight days into this Hugging Meditation experiment and I have given 101 hugs! When I began this journey I wasn't sure if I would make it to 500 hugs. Now I'm starting to believe that I just might! Only 399 to go in the next 22 days. If I continue on my current streak of about 18 hugs a day, I will definitely make it to my goal.
I'm becoming more at ease with the process of giving mindful hugs. I still have to prepare every morning upon waking to remind myself why I'm doing this. I've begun adding heart opening poses to my morning yoga routine. This has been an important practice for me to enter into the space of openness and compassion before I even leave the house.
I'm starting to be known around town for this little project. I passed a woman on the street yesterday who shouted out "It's the Hugging Lady!" My first reaction was to turn around and look for this hugging person. Then I realized she was talking about me. We exchanged smiles and hugs.
